WILL RTO GET A BONUS? 10% RAISE FOR OBJECTIVE COST OF LIVING INCREASE??
I don’t understand…
People who sit in drop ins with a monitor just to use their laptop without the monitor.. Just go sit somewhere else!
Office capacity in Dallas
It’s clear Atlanta is full. That leaves only Dallas as the preferred location by the Stank. Trying to understand what the availability seating looks like in Dallas. Do we even have capacity to move more employees there?
RTO Hunger Games Day 6
Welcome to week 2. You’ve made it further in this game than some of your peers. Best of luck, and Happy Hunger Games!
Heads up..
Well, not saying it makes any sense, but I was just informed that starting today @ Northpoint Alpharetta, to solve the issue of parking (something like 2500 seats and 1500 parking spots) T’s move to solve this is to put in place valet parking. They... — read more
Pay raises for those making under 90k who are RTO compliant
We should be compensated appropriately to adjust for cost of living. Especially if we are commuting and following the stupid rules.
Of what use are ERGs anymore?
With work-life balance altered to the worst possible extent, who here even cares about the HHs and other events that the ERGs organize/employees attend anymore? What is the point of these groups anymore when barely anyone even has time for other... — read more
Brain drain will be the end of T
The fact that the leadership is not only not trying to keep the best, experienced employees, but actively working on getting rid of as many as possible will be the end T. Finding talent too expensive to keep is a good short term tactic for padding... — read more
AT&T's presence on LinkedIn is disgusting

2026
As far as my understanding goes, all offices outside the hubs are supposed to close after December 2025 with only less than 10% of staff working virtually and everyone else forced to hubs. However, I still notice that many locations (even the... — read more
Was anyone disciplined/fired for lack of productivity while WFH?
Genuine question. I have not heard any examples within T of people being put on any sort of PIP or plan while WFH but surely there must have been issues since the company decided to rather keep expensive office realestate.

More RTO pushback
https://buildremote.co/news/backlash/
I'm going to need T to fix the toilets, please.
There's 5 times as many people as there were before. Sh1tters were already at 40% functionality before RTO and we are losing more by the week. I'm a fan of coffee and horribly unhealthy food so please work on this before port-a-johns are needed for... — read more
What are contractors not required to RTO
This question should be asked in every meeting. I venture there are probably as many contractors as employees working at T. There are contractors with many years of service here, and in some cases holding key positions. I know that we all understand... — read more

Imagine all the sales/revenue that ATT and Verizon lost
To T-Mobile as a result of Stankey and Randals ability to breath life into a dying #3 wireless carrier. Just 15 years later T-Mobiles market cap is up 10X while ATT is down as well as T-Mobile becoming a behemoth in the fiber space. What T-Mobile did... — read more

RTO has been a final straw for me

ATT C Suite = The Emperor Has No Clothes
