Their offers are out of date, non-competitive, and they don't seem to care. Layoffs galore in Cricket.

Question on Non-Hubs
New employee here! Did the relocation to hubs affect only ATS employees, as I see many are still assigned to Non-Hub cities. Is there a roadmap on when T wants to close non-hubs and ask to relocate everyone?
Congratulations and condolences

Dec 2025

Trust over surveillance
"You need a different social contract and to let go of control. But if you trust people and treat them like adults, they'll behave like adults. Trust over surveillance," Drew Houston (Dropbox CEO) told Fortune in 2023.

Nobody young is sticking around, and I can’t blame them
Some of us have been here since the days when loyalty meant job security, but that hasn’t been true for a long time. Why would anyone want to build a career here when they know they could be laid off any day, no matter how much work or effort they... — read more

Don’t forget to do the employee survey!!
Let your frustrations be known! They asked for it.
Slashing jobs to cut costs isn’t strategy
It's failure. And T keeps doing it. Wall Street might not see it yet, but morale and quality are tanking. How does leadership - or more likely, the main culprit Stankey - keep missing the long-term damage these layoffs cause?
Hybrid 3 days RTO is coming back

Severance for May surplus employees
Did anyone that got laid off last month get their severance yet?
Interesting comments from Jeremy Legg today in the 1057 ribbon cutting . . .
He actually mentioned that occupation levels in 2018 for AT&T were around 60%. He failed to mention that we were a 3x hybrid company in 2018 so 60% would be the maximum occupation on average for most groups. Either he is an idjut or the biggest... — read more
