I heard from an AVP and SVP that T is exiting out of the LA buildings by early next year. It seems with the DirecTV sell off being completed, the company has no need to maintain office space or further operations there. Anyone else located in LA... — read more
A Sad State of Affairs
So... imagine a team that's been cut, cut, cut. In half. Down to the bone. There's a hiring freeze. Alas, the manager has an employee who's a poor performer but can't do anything because a) the person can't be replaced (hiring freeze) and b) a... — read more
Milpitas, CA office closing, WFH until February?
So they just closed down our office in Milpitas, some people found a spot at local yards, others are just WFH until Santa Clara office opens in February of next year. Funny how WFH is only used when convenient for the company.
The frog and the pot
I recently had an epiphany of sorts. Someone on this page shared that many ex ATT employees went to a company called WTT. When I went to their company website I saw a smaller company that thrived by saying it valued its employees. The quote by the... — read more
Say it loud, say it proud, we’re number 875!
So Forbes also has a world’s best employers list too. And AT&T is 875 out of 900. No more commentary needed at this point. https://www.forbes.com/lists/worlds-best-employers/
Increased levels of fraud with ongoing RTO and layoffs
I get that many employees just don't care any more. Fraud at ATT used to be something you would hear about through the grapevine. Now employees put little effort into hiding it. September 13th we went to Crater of Diamonds State Park in... — read more
Weekly presence report wrong again . . . I know it has only been 39 weeks this year but I think I am seeing a trend!
It was not completely egregioius. There was only one significant error in one day that shorted me about 2 hours. Why is it that every error is in AT&T's favor. The system never over-estimates our time in the office.
Layoff Today
You will be laid off today. If not, there is discussion happening today at some level somewhere regarding your inevitable layoff as you most definitely are considered an expendable cost which needs to be cut.
I received a $25 coupon to AT&T's Brand Store. What do I do?
I received a $25 coupon to AT&T's Brand Store to celebrate "Serve Customers First Week". They have sent me 2 email notifications about it. Initially, I was thinking of getting a T-Shirt or some bottle, but I already have too many AT&T branded items... — read more
EEOC Violation at AT&T??
New EEOC priorities Is AT&T running afoul of new EEOC priorities? https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/talent-acquisition/eeoc-anti-american-discrimination-immigrant-workers Quote from the article linked above: “The EEOC is putting employers and... — read more

You think T is dysfunctional....
Take a look at this sh-t on the Cricket page. I know some of you a--holes will say "we don't care about Cricket", but some of us do.... https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k2mx5x6h Such a sh-t show!!!
We’re All in This Together!” – Said the People With Offices
Ah, the newest corporate gospel has arrived. Another “inspirational” RTO email reminding us that being in the office builds connection — which is ironic, considering I haven’t connected to anyone except the guy who keeps stealing my... — read more
The CA townhall recording
50% of his org was impacted by RTO while ATT as a whole was only 30% What’s that tell you?
On the Precipice of a Shrinking Workforce - adapt or collapse
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/07/on-precipice-of-incredibly-contracting-workforce-says-jobs-expert.html Look around, it’s already happening here. They’re trying to force out the 55+ crowd, but instead the under 30 crowd is leaving in droves for... — read more
I was told I’m getting a letter soon
New wave coming and I will have the option to move to atl or dal. It’s going to affect about 200 of my peers.
Still A Lot of posts about Survey Inaction
I’d just suggest that you don’t fill the surveys out next time. Corey A. point blank said he Read them and Shred them. He’s convinced he won’t be fired for making such statements. That speaks volumes about our company. Back in the day... — read more
Let’s list the companies our peers went to since leaving T
Help others find new jobs by listing the companies hiring ex ATT employees.
Stock Price sinking again
I see Wall Street analysts have finally figured out The Stink's offshoring and RTO are just cost savings moves which try to hide the fact that there is no innovation (or hope) at AT&T. The downgrades and lowered target price points keep rolling in. — read more
Fraud dept is a joke
Long gone are the days of decisions being made to better the business. Now we are in the business of turning away existing customers and flagging upgrades for fraud. We are a laughing stock in the telecom industry. We look like amateurs... — read more
Verizon and T-Mobile Have New CEOs, Is AT&T Next?
Verizon and T-Mobile just named new CEOs, and it really makes you wonder… is AT&T next? The mood across the company says it all. People are exhausted, morale’s crushed, and trust in leadership is at an all-time low. If a change at the top actually... — read more
Anyone else see a total disconnect on the survey results and “action plans”?
Prime example, the employee well being ranking low. Now we see all this stuff on healthcare and mental health. Uh, that’s not what was meant by that. People were referring to work/life balance, recognition, promotions, bonuses, pay raises, taking... — read more
Retiree Concession Change Letter
Got a nice letter from the Blue Death Star last night. "We feel your rising health care costs, inflation, blah blah blah" so we are increasing your wireless discount from 30%-50% but only if you have one of our "NEW" wireless plans. What the H$ll... — read more
If they ignore our survey results, ignore them.
I mean John Stankey pretty much ignored the survey results of everyone working at T, told us we were in the wrong, our priorities were mid-aligned of the company, and that we are going to be in a market based culture. Aside from being a buzzword... — read more
A Year of 5-Day RTO and It’s Clearly Not Working
Alright, enough is enough. We’ve been doing 5 day RTO for almost a year now, and things have never been worse. Morale is shot, people are exhausted, and everyone’s sick of wasting time and money commuting just to sit on Teams calls all day. The... — read more
AT&T’s 150 Anniversary in 2026
Some Retirees have received information about increased benefits ((wireless plans now 50% off)). The letter stated it’s all due to AT&T celebrating 150 years in 2026. Makes me think our COO ain’t leaving just yet.
We’re Ranked 567
What can we do about it?
Failing to address the problems that came with RTO
AT&T made some half a55ed promises to smooth out the RTO experience. I've not seen changes of any substance. Tell us where your office is located and list a few specific things that must be addressed to make that work location somewhat tolerable. — read more
Two Years of RTO and Nothing’s Improved
It’s been two years since AT&T blindly followed Amazon into the RTO disaster. And for what? Nothing’s improved… morale, productivity, retention, all worse than before. The only thing that’s gone up is burnout. Since then, almost no one else has... — read more
Lay-Off Next Day Options
Honest question about FMP next day options. I'm curious what services for cel phone did people move too? I seem to have found a good deal at Mint and with the Duel eSIM thing I found it rather simple to spin up a second line to migrate away from T... — read more
Just took a stroll through the TDP area
Place is empty compared to last year. I guess they didn’t like RTOing.
Was anyone laid off because we ranked 567?
Did anyone lose their job because we ranked so low on Forbes list?
$T stock declines after CEO doubles down on RTO
$T down nearly 10% after Stankey doubles down on RTO. Wall Street’s not buying the “culture” fairy tale either. You can’t rebuild trust by draining morale and calling it collaboration. That 8/1 email did irreparable damage. Put a nice hole in his... — read more
I don’t care about the disclosure anymore

Retirement health care
Can a manager go to a union position before they retire to get union retirees health benefits.
Market culture is satisfy
Until such of time CEO switching to marketing base culture I am given not one single instructions. I do the reading all day all of even nites to become savvy on the marketing. So frustrate as I can do no such marketing in current role. I also do the... — read more
