If you are hired prior to 2009. If you are 5 to 1 year shy of the 75 mark. If you are not DEI. You are in line to be laid off. By getting employees hired prior to 2009 saves the company approximately $500,000. Why you get no lump sum……. And they will... — read more
If I wanted to save this company
I’d fire everyone on the board, Stankey, McElfresh, and the entire C suite. Then I’d pay Chris Sambar whatever his price is to come back and lead.
RTO will force me to quit
I don’t want to. I want to keep the job for now, at least until I find a somewhat decent replacement. I also do not want to play into the leadership’s hands and leave on my own. But the commute is crazy. I lose hours every day just getting to work... — read more
Lol
I like how this site is showing how racist AT&Ts older workforce is. The joke write themselves
GLOBAL LOGON DOWN AGAIN
Cutting too many people it seems!
Work Ethic
What has happened to the work ethic in this company? Some of my co-workers don’t want to RTO. You know who you are.
RTO Hunger Games Week 3 comes to an end
It was a short week, but it certainly didn’t feel short. RTO is really taking its toll. On top of much voluntary self attrition, many non-voluntary eliminations to end the week, and many more to come soon! Updated numbers will be provided Monday... — read more
A company with multiple annual layoffs…
Is a company that doesn’t know how to get it right. Start at the top.
Never be tempted to return
I left early last year after dealing with horrible leadership and trying to hit goals that couldn't be met. After leaving it was the most stress free time in my life. A friend reached out in November and asked if I'd be interested in a vacancy their... — read more
Layoffs
Should we expect more layoffs tomorrow?
New hires for sales are POed
17 years and let go from ATT twice and shame on me for coming back. Talking to a friend today and a team just hired 2 new sales people and got the email of reduction of 10k from their offer letter after just starting, thank You Jennifer, Von... — read more
ATT does not care about DEI over 45
So if you’re young and d-mb or new and gullible, but if you are over 45 your not long to be employed. ATT gives out Swag crud to the young pups and new peeps and says we are all about inclusion but 45 and above you are a feast for the dim wits up... — read more
Follow the money
How much money are the executives earning due to RTO? How does it affect their salary, bonus, and total compensation?

Why RTO?
[ ] Tanking stock price …. check [ ] Old bald man in charge….check [ ] Company lacking creativity and innovation… check [ ] Employees viewed as overvalued and underperforming…check [ ] Need to remove said employees in a cheap and timely... — read more

Surplus Notices Out Today for Tejas Org
Just wanted to let you know I got my two week notice. Yay! I'm getting paid to leave!
Platinum
If you are in platinum and not in the top 50% in the ranking, you have a strong chance of getting let go. If you are in the 4th quartile, they might term you in under 30 days. They need to lower headcount drastically. If you are in this segment... — read more
HROneStop is the company’s official HR site
Under working your destination it states office workers are only required to be in the office 3-5 days and is decided by individual organizations. Anything else is hearsay. Make a copy and save it. If they terminate you for not RTOing 5 days... — read more
I give it six months
I know everyone is up in arms about RTO right now - and for good reason, to be clear - but the same thing that always happens will happen. People will huff and puff, but within six months, they’ll get used to it and forget all about it. They’ll just... — read more
Security key bs
I think we abandoned physical tokens like 10+ years ago and i already need a phone to access a computer (wtf?). So what purpose does this forced physical security key have other than gps tracking my paid and unpaid bowel movements?
How Many Hours is Enough?
Without any clear and specific words from our leaders, perhaps there is an AD, Director, or higher that reads this board and can provide some insight as to how presence is being measured. What is a "full day" in the office? I am not referring how... — read more
President says US will be "merit-based"
Wonder how long it will take T to comply? It's been years of nepotism, doubt it can change.
Any thoughts on MGO’s announcement for 5 days starting 2/3?
Heard rumors of a mid-year date for MGO to afford time for building/space improvements so today’s announcement was yet another disappointing fail in an RTO fiasco I didn’t think could get worse. Sending sympathy to my fellow supercommuters. — read more
1/23 surplus
Anyone have true intel on which orgs will be impacted?
Dallas HQ lol
Anyone else find it funny that the big entry swipe lane in the lobby has been broken since week 1 of RTO? They still haven't fixed it. The elevator algorithms are messed up, takes over 5 mins to even get one. All of HQ is freezing with barely any... — read more
Townes org
Layoffs day tomorrow. Bring it on.
Move to Dallas
The purge is coming. Folks not in one of the 4 hub cities will receive letters in February requesting response as to accepting move to Dallas or not. If yes, followup communication will indicate when expected to report to new location, likely end... — read more
Long-term effects aren't being considered
People aren’t looking at the bigger picture. T's future workforce will be burned out and lack motivation. That’s going to hit their results hard, and I can’t see it doing anything good for the company’s financials.
Culture change
What can be done to change the culture to toward pushing for better benefits for employees (WFH, better raises and pay, etc.) and moving away from employees policing each other? It seems half the posts here are employees fighting each other rather... — read more
Enough with RTO
Is there nothing else happening at AT&T right now? Seriously?
People who are not complying
I know some people are still refusing to RTO full time. I envy them. I wish I could take that risk, because I absolutely hate my job now, but I have to play it safe to avoid being laid off. If you’re still WFH, have there been any repercussions so... — read more
T to follow Zucks lead, and slash SWE positions.
Folks the writing. Is on the wall, now the zuckerberg claimed the elimination of many mid-level SWE jobs, you can bet T executives are busy drafting policies to do the same. Everyone is upset about RTO , your all gonna be really pi---d when they... — read more
How’s the attrition going?
I’m hearing RTO is working as intended.
Union vs non union
It’s too dangerous for non-union employees to come in to work but not too dangerous for union folks to come in. A lot of union employees work in a noc and could and have worked from home no problem. UNION LIVES MATTER! GO CWA! Let’s practice unity... — read more
3 Days of WFH in ATL.
That must make Stank very unhappy!
