So they pull our decades promise of subsidized healthcare with only a years notice and they're free from giving those of us who are leaving, a severance? This is just dirty.
I finally made the switch.
I’m a current employee who has had att vdsl home internet at 45 mbps down and 15 mbps up for the last 15 years or so. I’ve been a loyal employee for years but I finally gave up. I want faster internet. I recently dumped my home internet for 5g... — read more
Help Me Understand: Why has the Stinky not yet totally ditched the pension like Verizon?
I have been googling how Verizon dumped their pension back in 2012 to Prudential. I was curious to see if any Verizon retirees taking the annuity were kept whole and if I am reading right they were. So I am wondering why the megalomaniac Stinky has... — read more

Offer In October
Anyone else heard about a possible offer in coming in October. Seems like they are doing everything they can to push people out before the end of the year.
All the copiers, toner, and ink cartridge were
Boosted from the floor. All the tools and fiber optics were boosted from the staging area. 3 employees were assaulted in the break room. HR's response, it never happened and no they weren't. ATT and its strategy, leadership, and internal social... — read more
Any news on the closing date of the DTV / TPG (Texas Pacific Group) deal?
Is it still late September or has the date moved up?
Candidate pool
Scraping the bottom. Anyone watch Stankey/Anthony diversity inclusion profile call? . Going full bore on diversity so only 5% of jobs now need a college degree and Stankey added criminal record as a diversity indicator. I'm glad when I leave, I'll... — read more

How do you expand the skillset here?
This is very important, everyone says it is crucial and you should always strive to expand your skillset. I agree. However, I have a triple workload in this company and I don’t have time to further upgrade my skillset and learn new things. Perhaps I... — read more
New medical benefits
Insider had lots of new medical benefits "free" to us. Lots of free doctor searches and apps I can download to my phone to make my health supposedly better. I can even get a fake new iris for my eye if I didn't already have one. I guess this is... — read more
I'm retired now and know about DTV and WM. Just curious about status of IOT and Cloud at AT&T
Are they still considered high-value growth opportunities or are they being scaled back too? Where are most of the employees located regarding those initiatives? Dallas, Atlanta, California?
I don't want to feel this
I've tried to let go of my animosity towards T but I simply can't. I was laid off a few months ago and there is still a (not so small) part of me that hates that place. Just thinking of all the time I've spent working there, giving it my 110 percent... — read more
Enablement Manager
Does anyone have info about this new job title that is being populated in Consumer Field Operations in all regions???
Seriously why give a flying who about ATT
When Stankey hasn't recognized his disastrous errors, zero accountability, and still a weak board. There is nothing that tells me after cleaning up the balance sheet for a few years that Stankey will want to gamble and make his mark with a $100B Cell... — read more
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND...
T has lily tell us what a good deal you can get at AT&T but don't they know people call other providers .
Keep the checks coming
Cashing that biweekly check is my game now and has been since Covid. Not going back to office and never will. I lay around logging in and was myself with a rag on a stick.
A question for WarnerMedia folks
Are you happy you are getting separated from T? Or are you worried about another major change coming your way so soon? I'm genuinely curious. I realized I'd be delighted if somehow I ended up keeping my job while no longer working for T and Stankey... — read more

Out of cycle pay increase
Anyone receive an out of cycle pay bump recently? Heard of couple people unexpectedly getting pay increase. Curious if this was related to adjustments in pay tiers maybe?
Leaving and taking Lump Sum pension
Going to cash it out and hit Vegas. Just following the lead of our most Senior Leader Stankey. Buy High, Sell Low, High Risk, Low Reward. Bring on The Stank! We got The Stank! How about a couple call girls and no wrapper? More Stankey Action!
Is it really true?
I've heard the old saying "a happy employee is a productive employee" but is that really true? You'd think if that were true more companies would be going out of their way to make sure their employees are happy. It looks to me (at least judging by... — read more

ATT to run mobility network on Azure
Engineers are moving to Microsoft. Is this a good move or not? https://about.att.com/story/2021/att_microsoft_azure.html
ATT Wireless has no chance against Verizon and TMobile
They are miles ahead with 5G and 3G turn off for ATT a disaster of epic proportions. Public perception of ATT is very bad, distribution weak, and network decimated as capital flowed to service debt.
I left AT&T 2 years ago
I hired in 1997. The benefits were great. The pay made you upper middle class because you did not have to pay outrageous healthcare costs. Now I hear the pension that many came to work for is being attacked. I am disgusted how employees who... — read more

How much success have you had in job hunting?
I'm not very satisfied, but I hope that I will not stay here much longer. The problem is that I didn’t think much about one day having to look for a new job, so I didn’t expand the skillset much beyond what my job required here. Besides, it seems to... — read more

A talent nursery?
One should look at things from the positive side: if ATT hadn’t gotten rid off good employees (and continues to do so), they would never have realized how much they are actually worth. Everyone I know who has left here has done great things in much... — read more
Stankey's Virility and Brilliance update
All of the T haters and malcontents need a reality check. And the best way is to just look at cold facts. T's stock has skyrocketed to $29.30 today, July 6, 2021. That's almost the same as the closing price on July 26, 2011. You don't get this... — read more

It feels like the company is on cruise control.
It feels like the leadership team is asleep at the wheel. Not much, if any, information being shared. I expected more direction discussion after the announcements of spinning off DTV and WM. I guess this is the way things will be at T under the... — read more
LAYOFF CONCERN...
I drove past the old work center going to the doctor and things must be pretty bad at T ............... it appears they also no longer mow to cut cost .
if we are spitting up the company - why not split fiber/landlines and Cellular ?
I wonder if the board and the exec's will get a pay cut since they will managing a smaller company? Why not split out the cell part also - be just like TM?
