Topics regarding layoffs at AT&T

Sucks for me

Before I joined AT&T three years ago I asked a couple of people I knew who worked here if it was a good place to work. All of them had only words of praise for the place so I had no reason not to accept the offer. Fast forward to today and I can't... — read more 

Connecting OT in district 3

Anyone that can explain the rules on connecting OT in district 3? The contract seems to leave room for interpretation. Bottom line for me : I don’t mind the OT most times. I like the money. However there are times you just don’t want to work past... — read more 

Problems just pile up

What is there not to love about T? They cut retiree benefits, they reduce salary ranges so many get no raise, they give you poor insurance that consistently rejects coverage on necessary care, they give you vision insurance that pays nothing, they... — read more 

AT&T TV -- RIP

Hey, remember in 2019 when Stink and the c-suite were telling us all how atttv would be the savior for the company's video business, and how they poured tens of millions of dollars into creating, promoting, and launching it -- money that could have... — read more

What are your expectations from this company?

I'm sick of all the stories of what employers expect from employees. While employees are required to have skillset, work hard, show respect, loyalty... companies are less and less aware of their comparative advantages (or disadvantages). ATT is... — read more 

Projects that inspire and stimulate

I have been working in this company for a long time and there are fewer and fewer projects that inspire and stimulate me. If I were to list all the projects that were very boring and the ones I really enjoyed, there were many more that were neither... — read more 

IT Department is Next

Just heard the IT department is management's next layoff target. Not sure how many but it looks like it will affect several regions.

Fewer layoffs lately?

Is it just me or have there been fewer layoffs lately? It feels like it's slowed down somewhat.

How many have you survived?

I’m a fairly new employee here with less than a year in. I haven’t reached the point where layoffs affect me mentally or that I am becoming fearful of my job. How many layoffs has everyone survived, and at what point did you become numb to it and... — read more 

Cobra paid by stimulus

Anyone know when ATT gets its act together and follow the law in paying my Cobra from the $1.9t stimulus?

Why does no one believe in improvement anymore?

I was hoping to see improvement here, but things are getting worse and worse. No one believes that ATT can be fixed anymore. Most people want to leave, look for new jobs and send applications. Almost no one would recommend this company to a job... — read more 

What happened to retired employee portal ?

In left T ( not voluntarily) two years ago and gave been an e-access portal for retired employees. They seem to have changed something because it doesn’t work. When I click on the “ retired employee” option, it takes me to the active employee global... — read more 

Connection Award

Connection award is replacing IPI, "We want to reward employees on a timely manner without having to wait for bonus payout in the following year." and this is rolling out by the end of April, very timely indeed.

It's my 2-year anniversary at T

If I'm being honest, while this is not the best job I've ever had it's certainly not the worst. I mostly knew what I was getting into when I joined re. work, pay, benefits, and stuff like that. One thing I didn't expect was the constant threat of... — read more 

Leaving T, Getting Out of CA & Moving to TX

I just read this article about the housing market. Looks like a great time to relocate from AT&T, sell my house and live large in Texas. https://main.techstaffer.blog/2021/04/26/att-this-is-not-the-2007-housing-bubble

Is it worth suing?

I heard about the case of a person who was fired, allegedly for no particular reason. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that were true. People advised filing a lawsuit. However, I am interested in how effective do you think this is and is it... — read more 

T listed as #4 on LinkedIn's 'Top 50' companies

From the post: "AT&T and its employees have endured a tough year with hundreds of pandemic-fueled store closures. The decisions are part of a larger shift for the company, including a CEO transition and an increased focus on growing the company’s... — read more 

El Segundo to Dallas. WHeeeeeeeee

Apparently some mobility employees have received a relocation offer to move from the El Segundo offices over to Dallas. No thanks!

Can layoff all you want but the core problem

Is still present. Culture from above does not foster innovation, competition, or loyalty. You cant make boneheaded $200B+ in blunders, take zero accountability, and expect to compete with Tmobile, Comcast, Amazon, Netflix, Google and all the other... — read more 

This is messed up

We lost one person on our team last week. He was fired. I won't go into whether it was justified or not; he is gone and that's it. We just learned today (well, more like yesterday) that he won't be replaced anytime soon and until that changes, we'll... — read more 

New DirecTv - Back to the Future?

As a precursor to the most likely scenario of dissolution and mass layoffs, I have decided to think positive and presume that TPG will somehow revive the 20 year old vibe once known as DirecTV. The current pre-spinoff chatter from our Management... — read more 

You don't worry so much about layoffs anymore?

I absolutely agree with the person who said that solid quarterly results do not mean that there will be no layoffs at all, but that there could be, given that their intention is certainly to record a good next quarter as well. Still, so far I’ve been... — read more 

DXC ACCOUNT

WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SENIOR MANAGERS ON DXC ACCOUNT CANCELLING THEIR CALLS TODAY INCLUDING THE MONTHLY DXC COMMUNICATIONS CALL, SEEMS A BIT OMINOUS

Laid off shortly after they started working here?

Around the same time I got hired by this company I started following this board because in a company where I previously worked I got laid off during mass layoffs shortly after I got the job. Regardless of the general atmosphere here and all the... — read more 

Why is everybody so resistant to good news?

This job (I assume) pays your bills and puts food on your table. So why is there always such an uproar and downvoting (which I assume this post will receive as well) whenever there is a sliver of good news about AT&T? I don't like this leadership any... — read more
