Would you go into the office if you were Surplused and do you think the company can do anything if you didn't come in vs WFH?

RTO is a joke-- There are 'engineers' here in the Atlanta area that have figured out that they can visit a customer location that is 'close to home' for a couple of hours a day and no-one says a thing about it-- And while at that customer location... — read more 

Did anyone or in their team get surpluses after moving to a hub location?

I heard the rto will be 8 hours 5 days per week: badge, logins, and geofenced cou to build your stats. Seems excessive.

I’ve lost a lot of flexibility and waste plenty of time commuting, but I also work significantly less than I have in the past several years. I get to work, do what I need to, and go home. No answering emails outside the office, no matter how urgent... — read more

Shocking news! All of the Board and our spineless leaders are taking the week off from the office and enjoying the fruits of our labor this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach golf tournament.

Stankey thinks he’s so smart getting us back in the office five days a week. I’m a perennial top performer. I’ve worked from home for the past five years and now I’m back in the office and I do nothing. I asked myself, what are the requirements of my... — read more 

Heard from person in Bedminster yesterday that there is a list of monthly layoff numbers circulating. February is 51.

ATT is not a defensive stock.

The similarities are uncanny...... and they begin at the top

Is it me or the results were not that great today. Everything was worse than last year but it was a beat? It sounds like they set the bar so low and then say they beat it. Is it the stock buyback? Someone in finance explain.

Not sure how many employees would say the current culture is the direction we need to be “accelerating”.

We could have all refused to RTO five days. There’s no way they could have laid all of us off or fired us, it’s completely unrealistic. As it stands, we’re stuck complying with a policy that doesn’t work for anyone. It’s been proven to lower... — read more
