AT&T-One of America's worst run companies. Just got worse. This latest force reduction could be compared to pruning a plant. Whenever you prune a limb; you always need to retain some leaves on the branch. They will serve to continue to provide... — read more

While disney+ has Hamilton on Broadway

Great idea, Mr. Stankey and your College classmate with no industry experience (Bill) that you hired to design this "Transformation". Let's reduce staff in the areas where we are already stretched thin with no plan to redirect workflows. And while... — read more 

Were there any surpluses in Entertainment Group? Most Employees are in El Segundo CA, Mission KS and Irving TX.

Personally, I am very happy to be exiting the daily sh–show that is AT&T. They are an Elephant Ballet. Without a doubt, AT&T has aggregated some of the most talentless and mo–nic senior and middle management people in the industry. Between the... — read more 

Working from home is so much better both physically and mentally — saving money, less interruptions and more quality time home.

Is the Att pension fund safe? Any informed comments? If Att elects under Federal law then can’t Att sell the obligation to some private insurance company and if that is done and then the insurance company fails then the federal Pension Benefit... — read more 

This is a great site for information about the company we work or worked for that provides you no information. But the real shame here is that people‘s lives and families have been turned upside down in one day. To see the comments the people write... — read more 

Anything on this Friday’s surplus list for the wiretechs? Hearing a lot of rumors but no concrete numbers yet.

The percentage of workers that were just released that are in the 50+ years of age range is mind boggling. Someone really needs to take a look at this statistic. If these jobs are shipped off to overseas support centers; AT&T should be fined... — read more 

Once again, AT&T leadership has no idea who actually does the work at the field level. Ready! Fire! Aim! Despite local managers' claims that they had no say in who was laid off, it is interesting that the social clicks stayed intact. If you were... — read more 

I was let go last March 30 days before my 20 year anniversary with 6 months severance and two weeks to find something internally (what a joke!). I’m starting to think I was lucky compared to what’s happened since. Does anyone think desperate times... — read more 

OK - I have been laid off in the latest round and after 32 years they tell me I only get 14 days notice while recently others got 6 month pay? I am out of here in two weeks?!?! Really, this the best that a Mega Media / Tellcom giant company can do is... — read more 

Not to be self-interested, but if they did it will impact my ability to do my job. I'm sure many of us who remain at this time will face a ripple down affect similarly.

I am retired and curious (and concerned) as to what became of my coworkers. Thanks

I’m in Dallas AM and there were shifts with CSEs either staying in current role or being placed in the ACQ. Group. What’s weird is I got a new ‘offer letter’ AM 3 Mid. Salary at risk stayed the same. However I’m now non- exempt from exempt ?... — read more 

Over 25 years, while I qualify for MR75 i was hoping to go another 4 years b4 leaving. Job was not bad, worked exclusively from home for over 5 years now, made decent money. Get a bonus each year. I am blessed. So now I have a tough decision to... — read more 

It is an incredible indictment of this company's leadership that all they continually do is reorg? It is ridiculous how they constantly shuffle the deck. The truth is it is their way of covering up accountability of their terrible leadership... — read more 

Taking a pension will impact unemployment in some states. If you are qualified for 2000 a month unemployment but your pension is 2100 a month you are out of luck. However if pension is 1500 a month you can draw the difference.

Jeff M clearly said in his town halls and written email. AT&T is too expensive and inefficient in developing software (we can debate if it’s true or not). The goal is to use vendors for all software development and support. AT&T will not have much... — read more 

Would someone be able to estimate the overall number of layoffs that took place this week?

Do not treat those who you know as leper’s who were notified Friday. People need to talk, and not feel cut off from friends they have known for quite a long time.

I am disappointed this morning to find nothing at all ( at this writing ) from the CWA in any mainstream news feeds. Doesn't collecting dues obligate them to at least a little vocalized indignation?

Are we legally able to file for unemployment benefits? If you choose to defer your severance until next year, would that change the answer?

Has McElfresh ever held a customer-facing role? I have to wonder. Thinking about how as of today the entire sales tean supporting several very large accounts worth tens of millions per year in revenue per year to ATT are gone. How in the world are... — read more 

Sorry to hear the bad news - Please know there are many positions available outside of the company and I know of many individuals who are not only happier but are earning more too!!

I didn't notice any news coverage at all of the current round of layoffs. Did anybody else see any coverage at all? Do we matter so little?

I made the cut.... was an AM 3 in NBS - reassigned to AM 3 MIDS... rough day for many talented people.... this one was brutal... chin up kids.

Meaning that if you lost your job at AT&T, would you definitely lose your shelter or possibly have trouble covering your fixed monthly costs?

Any downsizing?

We are big, we've seen a lot of areas affected, but what areas can we determine were not touched, or only very lighted hit? I guess that means if you weren't cut today, then maybe they'll get us 4Q20

Anyone Surpluses announced in FlexForce?

Anyone know if all notifications have been done in Chow org today? What if you didn’t hear anything?

After you lose your position with AT&T, how long before they take out your discount for cell phone, internet and cable?

I thought Stankey wanted a flatter organization? Is this just more supervision of fewer workers?

Seem to add up to pretty big numbers today. How will t keep it out of media hands?
