After years of frustration, lost talent, and wasted time, leadership finally made the right move. We’re going back to a results-driven model that values performance over presence. No more pointless commutes, no more fighting for seats, no more... — read more
Hiring from outside yet surplussing
My AVP team just hired from the outside a month ago and just surplused two others (without performance or attendance issues) -- both in Dallas. Yes... both surplused employees over 50. Make it make sense!

172 people let go. Some in hubs but many not. The indignity is they are forced to take a ple training to get their severance .
RTO is Ending everywhere but here
RTO is coming to an end. Productivity is down, morale is worse than ever, and people are leaving in waves for companies that offer flexibility. The younger workforce doesn’t want to live in traffic five days a week, and the veterans are burned... — read more

CRE or HR document links for lease terms
I understand there are no guarantees in job security and there have never been any with any private job. However, given the way RTO was implemented, how long can we assume the non-hubs can exist and folks keep working there. Is there a realistic CRE... — read more

More rodents in the office
A coworker of mine shared a picture he took of a rodent scurrying across the floor at the Colwell, Irving (Dallas) location. Isn't it lovely that employees continue to work in an office with this sort of issue? Reminds me of the Sky movie with... — read more

Next Layoff - Notifcation 11/21 - Exit 12/5
Hello Folks. The last round was just over on 10/23. The next round is fast approaching. Employment at ATT is like paying utility bills - it happens monthly and don't know the number (in this case employees impacted).
It's over
T is finished. No way back
My Friday Schedule

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/t-mobiles-incoming-ceo-att-is-taking-potshots-because-its-under-pressure-152258495.html So much for that new campaign those smooth-brains on the Q3 Earnings Call were so excited about. Wish we had a CEO like TMUS
Will CEO be let go in 2026?
Will BoD replace Stankey? We all see huge decline in the stock value, stagnant innovations and network rollouts, stagnant cNPS, artificially driven Q results driven by soft layoffs, no obvious acquisition ahead and all time low employee morale after... — read more

So how much is severance?
How much is severance exactly? I have only worked here 2 years. I heard it’s 1 - 2 weeks per year of service. Thats peanuts for me and I am a bit worried. I feel like it should be at least 1 month for every year of service
Arnoldi
Was she watching the same 3rd Quarter Earnings?
Pssst. In case you didn’t know about the 100 Million
Reading posts for far too long without contributing aside from a thumbs up or down. All the bit$hing about layoffs and RTO can be summarized and understood by understanding the un mutable living fact. Which is, 100 MILLION of us will be displaced by... — read more
3400 W Plano Pkwy - Issue
So AT&T calls this their main and flagship office location. This office is a pathetic excuse for an office. I feel like I am in a 3rd world country. There is no parking. Cars park illegally everywhere and drive over the speed limit. The parking... — read more

Someone is reaching out to Business Insider about the layoffs, right?
Seems the RTO slow march towards getting people to quit without severance was a little too slow and AT&T did things the traditional way yesterday. Anyone have the contact details of the Business Insider folks? Gotta name and shame!

Last chance to change RTO before the point of no return

Stankey continues to implement his buy high, sell low philosophy . . .
Even with stock buy backs!
Remember the $20Bn buybacks?
The stock buyback plan seems to be working in reverse. Instead of creating shareholder value or paying down debt, billions have been poured into buybacks with nothing to show for it. The stock is sliding, the debt remains sky-high, and the company... — read more

Lame Anti-TMO spot
This is how we’re hitting back? I don’t think this is making the TMO leadership sh!t their pants. The cellphone equivalent of Wi---e Horton this is most definitely not.
How are people getting severance?
Did I miss a layoff round, or are they quietly letting a few people go here and there to keep it under the radar?

Any additional updates? Organizations impacted: Legg, Engineering Ops, Arnoldi. Who else?
