Oracle Proves Results > RTO Theater
Oracle’s stock just exploded 40% in one day, the biggest move by any company this size in over 30 years. Why? Because they’re winning massive AI and cloud deals, building the future, and actually innovating. They’re projecting half a trillion in... — read more
A bunch of Legg's VP levels are meeting today in Lenox . . .

John, Please End RTO Before It’s Too Late
John, we’re begging you, end this RTO madness. It’s crushing the very people who keep this company running. The commutes are ki-ling us, the hubs are overcrowded, and nothing has improved. We’re still sitting on Teams calls all day, only now we’re... — read more

September 15th Employee Social
I guess they think it will fix Stankey’s memo.
Just work M-F 9-5 in Dallas or Atlanta as prescribed
I mean if you truly want to be on safe turf just relocate and follow all the rules to the T. Actual work? - do as little of it as possible until you reach the exit sign.
Pascal is a joke
My goodness our leaders are awful!
Has anyone actually seen the survey results?
I haven’t seen the results or heard anything from my leadership. It’s almost as if it never happened. Anyone else? Not sure how they expect anyone to Ever participate again after these last two have been totally ignored… Insane.
Hurry up and quit to those working in non hub cities
We need to finish this headcount reduction that Stankey wants quicker rather than dragging it out. It’s like peeling a bandage quickly vs peeling it slowly and feeling the pain of arm hairs getting pulled. Once the headcount is where it needs to be... — read more

To the “quit complaining” crew

Breaking News: Badge Swipes Now Drive Revenue

Quit complaining yall and get back to the office.
I am sick of all the whining about RTO. Either return to the office 5 days a week and do the work or leave as Stankey has stated. They are paying good salary and benefits for in-person collaboration. Working from home is a privilege, and is dictated... — read more

What happens in retirement?
Thoroughly enjoyed most of my 28 years. Walked in one day and couldn't see doing it anymore. Notified my manager and left for the last time 3 weeks later. Took SS at 62 and received the initial monthly checks from both of my pension funds. It... — read more
Destroying neighborhoods in COR areas
So here in the NE Management came up with the idea to canvas areas around COR as the penetration rate was not up to par. So with that D2D indirect went door to door ( even in areas where no solicitation was allowed ) and sold our products with false... — read more

I was surplused in July and qualify for retirement and Medicare; is the ATT retiree Medicare advantage plan…any good to pair with Medicare B?
RTO=rambling taking over
All I hear all day is lonely people rambling instead of working.
It’s not really about RTO anymore. ..
It’s about treating your workers like excr-ment and telling them (begging them practically) to leave if they don’t like it. It’s about urging managers to take an OHI survey to gauge the culture, and promising to share the results and then burying... — read more
For all you stock price table pounding clowns…

Jeremy Bachelor of Arts
Jeremy earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Brown University. Yes, that is all it takes to be a Chief Technology Officer. He is an insult to our company. Be ashamed.
Why Is This So Hard to Understand?
Some roles need to be in the office. Some people prefer the office. That’s fine, if that’s you, then go in. But for everyone else whose jobs don’t require face-to-face interaction or physical presence, the choice should be ours or our manager's... — read more
Badge Swipes don’t equal productivity and results
I’ll never understand the mindset of people who think their job is validated by swiping into an office instead of actually producing results. Walking past a turnstile doesn’t make you valuable. Sitting in a cube doesn’t make you productive. And... — read more
Rumor: Change is coming quicker than you might expect
It’s no secret inside or outside the company: Stankey is on thin ice. The board can only cover for him so long with stock price smoke and mirrors while the foundation crumbles. Under his watch we’ve had massive outages leaving customers furious and... — read more
The upside of the downside of RTO
I've been back at full time office for almost 2.5 years. I saw the writing on the wall and decided to do 5 days even before that mandate came out. Loved the initial months of WFH but the days became longer and longer. I was averaging 53-55 hours per... — read more

End RTO Before It Destroys What’s Left of AT&T
