Along with pretty much all of the company's institutional knowledge - both gone with all the key employees who either left or (most often) were forced out.
10 percent over next 5 Years
10% over next 5, wireline craft starts Q4 2027.
When do notices this month go out?
Is it 6/12 or 6/15?
I couldn't care less about this job or this company
I gave up hoping it would ever get better, or that my role would see any meaningful improvement or progression. I just hope the job market improves in the foreseeable future so we can all find better options. One thing I'm sure of - I will never work... — read more
6/15 lists turned in?
Have decisions already been made for notifications later this month?
Don’t Forget
The damage caused by the Stinky 8/1/25 email can never be undone. For most employees, the message was loud and clear: your concerns don’t matter. Your feedback doesn’t matter. Your time, family, commute, and quality of life don’t matter. Whether... — read more
The only question these days is when, not if
I've accepted that my time at AT&T is finite, and that the end will probably come sooner rather than later. I have to tell you, that realization's actually been freeing in a way. I don't feel the need to give any extra effort or sacrifice my evenings... — read more
Would ATT eye Charter or Comcast for Acquisition
Stankey is licking his chops looking to make some moves on the streets.
Toxic Workolace and bosses
How do you deal with it?
Mobile phone - Intune now tracking your location
Might as well leave your phone as well together with your laptop.
Redirect funds to keep people
MGO spent millions on their conference a couple of weeks back. The L4 and up crew gets paid trips each year to have fancy retreats. We have people flying in for some stupid Leadership summit, and spend so much on things that do not really matter... — read more
Vilunteer for Management Surplus
Anyone know how a management employee can volunteer for a surplus package?
T stock is worthless
Execs act like business is booming and Stankey is a genius, but T is worth the least of all telecom companies. These clowns act like their “AT&T guarantee” and aimless attack ads make a meaningful difference, but T has fumbled one of the biggest... — read more
Regarding MFTO
I am asked to relocate to one of the hubs with a forced letter. I asked my management for HQ instead and HR seemed to have okayed it. I never got an updated letter from HR confirming HQ as the new location. Now, I am concerned if HR will pull a... — read more
Payout
Just wondering: I remember an old coworker asking and I don't recall the answer. Do we get our 5 weeks vacation in the 2nd year of our 104 weeks termination pay? I cannot find the answer in our Leg T CWA contract. Also, I wonder if I can call in sick... — read more
Eligible for severance
Anyone know what happens after you decline the move? How long do they keep me around waiting ? I’ve handed off all my work to other members of the team and cross training is complete. The letter says up to the discretion of my leadership.
875 out of 900 and 499 out of 600
Let's never forget what Stank has done to the company and culture, driving both down as one of the worst large companies to work for.
What a great work day today . . .
I had 35 hours in the office already this week before I woke up this morning. That meant only 5 hours were needed to get to my 40 hours. Got in at 7am, found my desk, connected to the wifi and chilled for 5.25 hours. Left the office by 12:30 and... — read more
AI
Time of year I get my checkups done. Of the 3, 2 went straight to AI schedule the appointment. Mentioned it to the receptionists when I arrived. 2 of the 3 had no idea it was implemented at their business. Just noticed the call volume seemed to be... — read more
Hanging out
It's so easy to stay on the payroll doing the very minimum work just to not get fired while taking as many paid days off for all the many reasons we can easily get away with. See, the difference between many of us and the bootlickers is that we just... — read more
After 30 years….
Through the years I’ve amassed lots of AT&T stock. My frustration level with our so called leaders has never been higher. I’m ready to dump it all and invest in much better companies that will easily return more than the T dividend could ever... — read more
Bedminster Drop In Locations
We were told every day is a drop in location at Bedminster. So why do people have personal stuff (including plaques) at "open" desks? Name plates also....
Results Matter. Badge Swipes Don’t.
Kevin O’Leary said recently he doesn’t care if someone works “from their basement” as long as they can execute and deliver results. That’s the part “leadership” still doesn’t seem to... — read more
What are the dates?
We keep hearing June 15th but are now hearing about other dates things will be announced. Anyone know?
Add “Live your designation” to the list of stupidity
Speaking of perspective. Let’s all harken back to the corporate virtue signaling about our responsibility to reduce the carbon footprint individually and collectively. We were all gonna be as green as green could be. We were committed to the... — read more
Public sector
Anyone heard layoffs in the public sector org? Making SF our number one priority on a daily basis and voice becoming a hard target 1Q of 2027, it seems like the same sound and dance that mid market dealt with a few years ago.
Layoffs
My team seems to be safe but that could change in a few days when our Director returns. Is it too late to notify your team that it has been affected by the June 15th layoffs?? How does this work?
RTO costing more lives...
I saw and read that someone passed away recenty at their desk. I feel sorry for this person and the family. Stinky and his minions do not care, in fact, they either want us to quit or expire. Same win for them. This is not the 1st time that someone... — read more
AI
Because the pope published an encyclical about AI can I cite religious concerns as a reason not to use it at work?
Really Puts Things in Perspective
3 hours a day. 15 hours a week. 60 hours a month. 720 hours a year. That’s 30 full days of your life spent commuting every year. One entire month annually sacrificed sitting in traffic so a presence report can show the “right numbers” for work that... — read more
Being too good at your job will keep you stuck
I have seen this happen to several people I work with. They are so good at what they do that management refuses to move them up because filling their current role would be too hard AND they make them look good. They're basically being punished for... — read more
Plano
All the price increases on consumer/first net plans! Yelp they gonna pay for Plano Golden Palace!
Did someone just died at his desk in Bedminster office ?
Hope they relax the RTO policies soon !!!
"Astad Dhunjisha, who leads Talent Acquisition ..
has announced his intention to leave the business effective June 6." This departure marks yet ANOTHER high profile exit from AT&T.
Hearing about terms before layoffs
Terms in platinum in Texas and maybe org wide including all mid markets. Announcement this week and term by the 1st
San Antonio be prepared…
A lot of rumblings here at the corporate office in Dallas of some mass layoffs hitting San Antonio. Hearing that there is a huge move to a new building out there and AT&T is way over budget. I have no clue what positions are even in San Antonio so be... — read more
I am just counting down the days at this point
Trying to find any positivity at work has become more draining than the work itself, so I have stopped trying. Now I just cross off another day on the calendar each evening and remind myself how much closer I am to retirement. The people who make... — read more
$9K per month to run a home
I have been trying to record my family’s expenses and with everything included from mortgage to groceries to kids classes and education savings, car insurance to home insurance, it costs around $8K-9K to run a home which keeps my single salary... — read more
