We keep sinking
Have you ever seen more disorganized management than what AT&T has had in the past decade or so? We'll focus on this, no let's focus on that, now we'll spend billions on something completely different while we sell the first thing... How long do you... — read more
Layoff rumors or relevant info please
When are we gonna get some info related to layoffs, VTP, anything concerning layoff news rather than all this garbage that nobody really cares about? Even a good rumor would be better than all this cr-p!
This sums it up nicely

What I noticed
When I got a job at T some 25 years ago it was my first choice and I remember being overjoyed that I got in. Today, T has morphed from the first choice for many college graduates to a last resort job. We used to be able to attract the best, now we're... — read more
How does this work?
AT&T sold another building and then signed a long-term lease with the new owner. How does selling a building and then continuing to lease the space works financially? It's a short-term gain but long term it makes little sense. Most businesses buy the... — read more
Cheap labor ironically may not be cheaper
I don’t want to underestimate anyone, there are probably a lot of great workers doing a good job in foreign countries for a lot less money. However, I still think that the quality is significantly lower. The company wants to save as much as it can... — read more
Leave ATT (Do yourself a BIG Favor)
Get out of this horrible company. I left and its been a positive in absolutely every way. Bunch of lazy incompetent engineers work at ATT. Except for the National team most all of them are a bunch of spoon fed babies.
HEADS UP
I am retired from T and I went to the dentist and AON covered all but $10 . AON tried to tell me that protective gear like gloves and mask on the bill is not a covered medical expense . So when I told them how my HRA account... — read more
Subsidized Retiree medical in the future?
Do you think AT&T will reduce its retiree medical subsidy (for current retirees) or eliminate the subsidy completely. I would be interested in what current retirees think? I’m considering leaving the company by year-end to achieve the subsidy but... — read more

One year later
I quit a year ago and I wanted to stop by here since I remember that people often ask if those who left are regretting it. No regrets for me. It was a good decision, as scary as it was to make it in the middle of a pandemic. I valued my health and I... — read more
Return to Work (RTW)...are you vaccinated?
It would seem that AT&T would cover all bases when dealing with employees, but they are overtly leaving a segment of the population out of the RTW model. If you are vaccinated you get the "Perks" If you are not vaccinated, you wear a mask and... — read more

Still waiting for an apology
When will JTS step up and own his M&A failures for the past 5 years. There must be some level of accountability no matter what level, when you waste $160B. You want your employees to trust you with this new strategy, own your mistake and admit you... — read more
Pension termination
If a manager with over 25 years with AT&T would get terminated, not surplussed, would they lose their pension? Or is what already is vested safe?
Can Chow replace Stankey?
Yes, I realize she believes in unicorns, but does she have what it takes to replace Stankey? I don't like poppinfresh, Chow may be the best option.

Less is more!
According to HR, the compressed and decreased pay bands, loss of earned PTO days for 20+ tenure, loss of our traditional video discounts, and vague “connection” incentives awards structure is not affecting attrition but is, in fact, why people are... — read more

Virtual Sales Channel, another quick goodie that will fail
For those that don't know, last year AT&T tested a new pilot program called the Virtual Sales Experience. It showed great possibilities at first, but will undoubtedly be ruined by poor management, as many sides of the company are. It advertised... — read more

AT&T matter
Does anyone know if you can buy a voodo doll and do they work because I need one .
What's the point?
I live near a T store and every time I pass by it, if it's open, it's empty. I don't think I've noticed a customer in there once in the last several months. I know it's pandemic and a lot of people are doing all of their shopping online, but if... — read more

There is no accountability with the sales and the customer service reps. This is unacceptable.
