RTO Realities
Russian Telecom Org
You have to experience it to believe it
Parking is a mess Finding a spot to work and sit is a mess. Having any quiet to get work done, forget it I see some people on edge. The place is a ticking time bo-b on top of a warehouse of powder kegs. You can create these types of conditions and... — read more

Why Chicago is not a hub
With Madigan and former AT&T Illinois President on trial for bribery, Stankey is no longer able to pursue his agenda in Illinois. He decided to cut Chicago off. This is pure politics.
Available Seats- RTO
If you’re on a floor/area that isn’t for your team or unit, you’ll be told to leave. That space is for people who actually belong there. Don’t act offended—you know you’re not supposed to be there in the first place! — read more
Drop in desks
JUST BECAUSE YOU SIT THERE MORE THAN OTHERS DOESNT MEAN ITS YOUR DESK. If it is designated as a drop in, its first come first serve. I don’t care if your team needs to sit together or you’ve sat there for months. There’s a new influx into the... — read more

The whole RTO affair is the stupidest thing
You can’t apply a single policy wholesale on so many various people with different levels of productivity, skills, batches of tasks, experience, and personal circumstances, and make it work. I don’t think leadership cares if it works for us, but how... — read more

Pudding Day for RTO!
I went to Sams Club and bought 3 dozen chocolate puddings. I brought them to work and filled the entire fridge up with them. If you see them help yourself to one. Post here if you eat one. BTW, I am not telling anyone about this. The only way you’ll... — read more
When pension is no longer worth waiting for.
17 years with the business, still far from meeting the MR 75. I had an honest conversation with my L3 this morning about my future with T. I told her that after a decade of being fully remote and exceeding performance expectations, I can’t see myself... — read more
Everybody who leaves T is happier
I don't know a single person who quit or even got laid off who said they wanted to come back. It’s always the opposite. They’re happier, more full of life, and can’t stop raving about their new jobs. That’s why I never feel bad for the ones who get... — read more

This just in from a very reliable 5th level manager

What in god’s name is this now? Did upper management finally hear about a new thing called digital? What geniuses!
Demand the RTO policy in writing
Notice how the company hasn’t sent out anything official from corporate or updated their policies on HR One Stop? They think they’re slick trying to do this by word of mouth so it can’t be used against them legally. Demand the 5 day RTO policy in... — read more
RTO su-ks
Came into the office, couldn’t find a parking space so that took about an extra 15 mins. Then when I got on the sales floor, couldn’t find a desk and it was like a big meet and greet. No one working, just walking around hugging each other and talking... — read more
Anyone have employment levels for year end vs. a year ago?

There are no layoffs criteria but costs
They don’t care about your competence, skill and experience. They don’t care about the criticality of your role, dedication, or for how long you have been with the company. They only care about how much you cost the company. In the same vein, they... — read more

What I’ve learned RTOing five days a week.
I’ve decided to make the most of it and as of last Friday, I still have a job. I hate the four to five hours a day round trip I use working for the man. We don’t have public transportation to our location and parking entails paying for it and a few... — read more
