What happened to all the lay off announcements that were to start today?
Can this company prolong the agony any further? For days, weeks, months, even starting last year, 2020 will be a bloodbath, followed up by numerous emails and videos. And Nothing. And half way through this year. What is going on?

Has anyone heard of HR/manager calls today or tomorrow? Or L2/L1s getting the announcement that they were “let go”? I’ve heard 30% will get the cut, and of course the July 10th date. But that’s about it. Did AVPs and Managers even get input on... — read more

Is it normal for offices to steal work from one another?
Basically - office A is not commutable distance from office B. Office A forces the work to move. People from Office B have a "choice" to "follow the work" or be surplussed. How common is this at AT&T?
2 billion Net Operating Losses filing.
Government once again allowed corporations, as AT&T knows how to game the system as they filed $2B operational Loses for 2018, 2019, and $680M for Coronavurus loses for 2020, That will result in a refund from the IRS. The CARES Act allows incurred... — read more

Lockwood
Is anyone under Lockwood getting laid off?
Is it possible
Is it possible that the reason T is playing the mind game of stressing the workers out is to get them to quit so they won't have to pay severance and/or unemployment?

ATT IN A NUTSHELL
AT&T is facing their most difficult outlook in history, it’s somewhat surprising that AT&T would essentially gamble its financial future on DirecTV and Time Warner. At this point, T stock is carrying roughly the same amount of debt as the entire... — read more
