Astad and TA Retail
The head of TA Astad is a tool. He gutted all the great staffing people in the markets only to replace them with unfit contractors. It's impacting the talent we are getting, and over time, it's going to affect our revenue with incompetent sales... — read more

Dress Code Enforcement
Heard from a trusted SVP that a new dress code will be enforced at all hubs starting 2/3. Say goodbye to all your AT&T t-shirts, that won’t cut it.
ATT Pulls Fiber Air from New York Market
NY tried price controls and ATT won't play that game. California is gonna want a bailout for their follies as well with insurance price controls. Let the market decide. The market ranks Cricket Wireless #1 over ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
Feel like I am entering dystopian prison
Every day for work now. On the walk from the parking deck, to the elevators, to the floor to the desk if I can find one. Long timers yelling at me...FRESH FISH! FRESH FISH! FRESH FISH!
TDS Telecom fair value $55 - $60
Told you in the low teens to load up and now it's at $35. The assets and cash flow are all strong and on the conservative side spell out $55+ per share. Oh you didn't use brokerage link or save much? Those index funds??? Those 2030...2040 target... — read more
Alpharetta Parking
How is parking now that the company implemented valet service? Worse or better than last week
End Game for ATT
Get it PE like to make it more attractive to the PE firms. One big d-mb set of pipes with toll booths. Current shareholders are going to get shredded along with the employee base. C Suite is going to walk away with buckets of loot all at the expense... — read more

You hear how people really feel during meeting when they forget to mute.

When are the next waive of relocation letters going to happen
Constantly living in fear
Too cold to RTO!
It’s too cold to RTO today so I was considering WFH in my comfy PJ’s and drink my silky smooth fresh ground coffee with Starbucks white chocolate creamer. Since I won’t be driving into the office I would be saving on gas, commute time and every... — read more
Mgmt Bonuses???
I seemed to have been dropped from the quarterly bonus results emails that Mr. Stankey used to send out. Does anybody know if we have met our targets for 2024? Is the bonus plan still part of our pay package? The silence is deafening.
Thank god for RTO
RTO finally pushed me to cut ties with T, and it drove me to work relentlessly on finding something else — and it worked out. I feel for everyone still stuck in that situation, especially those who don't have other options right now. But for me, it... — read more
AT&T’s HR Problems Start at the Top
It’s frustrating to see AT&T struggling with so many internal issues, and a lot of it can be traced back to a major leadership misstep: putting Lori Lee, someone with zero HR experience, in charge of the company’s Human Resources department. Lori’s... — read more
Att network guarantee is a lie.
They are cutting the network maintenance budget instead. The ad campaign is to distract you from that fact. It is obvious.
AT&T in running for stunt queen Champion for 2025 on LinkedIn
Some of the posts are beyond reality.
Managers setup for failure?
Recently seen managers be assigned personnel who preform jobs the manager has no idea of, and be assigned responsibilities they were not aware of. What could go wrong. Some of you know what I’m saying.

RUN.
10 year employee. Received better offer elsewhere. I out.
Started looking early December. Got offer today to start Feb 1. More money, show up in office 1 day a week. What’s funny is that recruiter that reached out mid December knew of AT&Ts issues and was former employee 2years prior. Making 34K more on... — read more

Does anyone know when the next management surplus announcement will come? I know I’ll be getting the notification but I am just not sure when
RTO IS BS
I used to be able to shop all day, go golfing, smoke weed, and watch cartoons all day on their dime. Now I have to report to an office every day. How do you expect me to live like this?
Tesla Cyber Truck SatCOLT.
Because there is NO cell service in parts of California. Where is FirstNet? Why am I not seeing commercials or people on the news touting our services?
Finance
If most orgs have “shadow” finance person on staff, then what’s the point of having an entire org doing the same? Operations reports up chain abt their numbers anyway, so they’d be held accountable still.
What I’d do as CEO
I’m certain the formula to my success would be simple as CEO. I’d keep current CEO around as consultant and ask him what he’d do on every situation….then I’d simply do the opposite. Presto, I’d be best CEO ever!
OSHA Complaint Filed
Kudos to whoever filed the OSHA complaint against 95 W. Algonquin for having inadequate work environment for people to comfortably and safely perform their job. Thank you!
In the end, The SBC Bull Headed Culture Won
Out internally resulting in the demise of ATT. Anyone still around that remembers the SBC Wireless Folks and their arrogant stupidity when they came together with Bellsouth and then ATT Wireless? That's where Stankey and Randall came from. Bulldozers... — read more
