RTO has made this place a misery. Everyone couldn’t be more unhappy and employee morale has never been lower. This is probably the most toxic company in existence. Everyone either has one foot out the door looking for real opportunities where they... — read more
RTO has made this place unbearable
I used to like working here, now I hate it. I dread everyday that I wake up and have to drive over an hour to get to the loud, crowded, unclean, unsafe office. All because the leadership hopes people quit. What kind of a company has this become? This... — read more
Just hopped into car
Knoxville to Atlanta. At least I get Sat and Sun with family would be Stankeys way of putting it. Soul crushing is what it is but I only have to get a few more years in at this rotten company. Really perplexes the mind that they manage this way. Far... — read more
My life has gotten so much worse since RTO
I swear, once people get used to a better situation, it’s ten times harder to go back. I miss those extra hours with my kids, I hate being stuck in traffic twice a day, and I absolutely hate losing the peace and quiet I need to do my job. Such a... — read more
Average Hours Report - why for exempt roles only?
It clearly states on the report info that this is or will be available only for exempt employees. Wouldn't it make more sense to have this for non-exempt titles since they are paid hourly and any discrepancy between this report and Infor would lead... — read more

Seatless & Stressed: My Five-Star Company Review
Thrilled to join the team! In all my years, I’ve never experienced such loving micromanagement or such a fun game of 'track every second.' Who needs to focus on actual work when you’re busy perfecting compliance? Bonus points: musical chairs with no... — read more
I love it when the Stankey sycophants down vote the truth about AT&T
It let's me know I have hit a nerve with the truth. So, please keep down voting those truths. It is just too bad the site moderator does not have the intestinal fortitude to leave the post up.
If my YTR su-ks I’m out.
Tired of being at the bottom of the barrel with this company.
I left in December
No Ties to At&T Was a loyal employee for many years, but they don’t appreciate loyalty- so why should I- Immediately changed phone service to T Mobile - T mobile is as good or better!!!!! Got my severance check Moved my pension & 401K to another... — read more

What check is the bonus paid on
Do we get our bonus on the 1st check of the month or the second? I know one year it was the second and other years it's been the first. Thanks.
2025 Sick and Caregiver Days So Far
How many sick and caregiver days have you used so far in 2025? More than the same period in 2024? Seems like people are using them more in RTO was forced upon us.

Thinking about stop showing up to work
How long does it take for at&t to send you a return to work notice if you stop showing up or taking calls? I am 100% sure I am going to be fired. They've been trying to fire me for months but went out on leave. Will I continue to get paid if I just... — read more
You got your RTO, and now you find out the cost.
Stank you buffoon, It has cost you productivity, morale, loyalty, and your dignity. You have spotlighted your ignorance and incompetence.
Is it just me or is everything around here just half-baked, baboonery jive talk?
I really want to know. HR is too fat and lazy to write anything down in a policy. Jeremy is too slimy to take ownership of his own direction and timelines. Legal hides in the shadows fumbling with constant re-writing of C-Suite scripts. Every... — read more
165 layoffs at Leer South Coal Mine owned by Consol Energy and Arch Resources in W.Va.

Stinky’s Paradox
AT&T is a “tele-communications” company whose business is to connect people in different locations. Yet you must RTO so you can take online meetings from the office with someone else who’s in another office. Where is the logic?
1 more week and the next wave of 5 days RTO
Begins! Welcome to the office 5 days a week like the rest of have been doing for 2 months now. I can’t wait to hear the same exact complaints we had. Did you care about us when it happened? Nope, you didn’t, now it’s your turn. Can’t wait to hear... — read more
Act Boldly
Set up your workspace in an executives office. Park in VIP. Give them a taste of what you deal with on a daily basis.
They don’t want the most competent, they want the most compliant
They just want the absolute sheep who willingly take every lash and smile along the way. The ones who claim to love RTO even if they can’t produce any measurable benefits or results. RTO is the death mark on any company and the #1 sign of financial... — read more
Is it just me or…..

RTO
RTO is the new normal. Glad to have everyone back in the office.
Wow...
So glad it is over. Any left, hang in there for the $$$ and don't take this shyt too seriously. REMEMBER This too shall pass.
Workshift assignments coming 24x7
The proverbial writing is on the wall. Inarguably the most efficient use of resources. It also answers the question of how much more of a he-l can they turn this into for employees.
Dr-g Test
T, why don’t you start doing random dr-g tests since you’re trying to cut costs? Sure the dr-g tests will cost too but the amount of people you’d be able to let go will be more. No need to make everyone RTO when there’s not one to one seating — read more
CWA
So WOW! Mobility side of company, we got out so called hourly pay raise this ck today! (Black contract) scout 70 cents a hour! So much for the CWA and it’s freakin dues! How do we cancel out of membership?
What is the real reason
The average hours report was taken down? Someone knows the truth
Bonus?
Anyone know what happens if you quit the week before bonus? Do you forfeit it?asking for a friend….
I play by my own rules
I simply badge swipe in the morning and head home right after lunch. No skin off my nose. Executives are donkeys. They have lost all support from the troops. I just do the bare minimum and cash the check baby. ATT has turned into a factory punching a... — read more
RTO going Forward
CEO Stankey wants everyone in the office (RTO) from now on going forward.
Why ever do another survey?
All the feedback anyone would ever want is right here on this website. Summary: All employees are miserable here
The clown show continues
Here we are at the end of another week and this company is even more bat sh-t crazy than it was the month before. Hang in there everyone
Stop with the pre/post covid rhetoric
The overwhelming majority of people here “pre-covid” were never required to be in an office 5 days, ever. It was always 1-3 times per week or fully virtual. If you were required to be in an office 5 days a week before Covid, then you probably still... — read more
Disease and illness Everywhere
In T offices all across the country. RTO is a disease super spreader. Offices are not sanitized, or cleaned at all in any capacity. People cough and sneeze all over a desk and then sit at a different one the next day and do it all over again. It’s... — read more
RTO su-ks
Nobody likes it, it’s not an industry standard or any kind of standard. 70% of companies still operate as hybrid. Anyone who says otherwise is just a lying troll. RTO is the sign of a financially doomed company.
New broken presence report
The new broken presence report will be used to fire people who dont have 8×5 in office. It doesn't give credit for holidays, vacation or caregiver leave. Prepare yourself.
Four Day Weekends
Our four day weekends are gone. I miss them too. It was good while it lasted. We have to get used to it like Pre Covid. 😞
