Many of us will be laid off in 2025. This will be great news for most.

Everyone is just going to hang around for their bonus, and then the brain and muscle dump begins

I just can’t manage RTO
Length of commute is prohibitive, and my expenses will considerably go up. Complying in hopes to be laid off soon and get a whole two weeks of severance is not worth it. So I will let them be pleased with themselves and quit. Fortunately, my skillset... — read more
It’s very hard to care about AT&T people

AT&T Stock
I’m starting to think that AT&T is purposely keeping the stock down so investors don’t bailout.
Rumors that severance is being reduced
Can anyone confirm? Hearing that there is going to be a reduction in severance again coming soon because they are unable to get to their soft layoff numbers from RTO and relocations. Even though they just announced a 40 billion stock buyback plan to... — read more
Monitoring
Has anyone been disciplined/fired for all the monitoring we keep hearing about? Have heard a ton about it but haven’t seen anyone actually be talked to about it.
I would take lower pay over RTO
And I know many who feel the same way.

Exactly how ugly will it get?
Okay. Stankey has warned/threatened us about 2025. How bad will it get? Is Stankey just blowing smoke? Has Stankey ever, I mean ever, executed on his threats? I say no.

We were called out on Fox Business as one of the many companies that are going to 5-Day RTO in 2025.
What happened to wanting to work hard?
Not because you have to, but because it’s the right thing to do? Because you were raised to put in your best effort and take pride in your accomplishments? Frankly, I couldn’t quiet quit even if I tried. How do people just show up, sit around, and do... — read more
Funny thing about coding… dates!
Built the “coffee badging tracking” PBI dashboard, then they laid me off too. I’ll have the last laugh when the automations fail because I set them to expire 12/31. HR stinks!

ATT RTO game
Let's play a drinking game. Every time someone mentions RTO we do shots! Who's in?
RTO
Looking forward to seeing all my co-workers back in the office.
Timeline for terminating an employee for failure to RTO.
Anyone know what the timeline for termination for non-compliance will be? Are we talking weeks or months of paperwork, PIP, etc? Or will it be "we accept your failure to report as your resignation."
Told my boss I want to be laid off
He said I’m 10th on his list. Now I regret not raising my hand sooner.
This is intentional
All the recent changes seem designed to wear us down and make us throw in the towel. It’s cheaper for them if we walk out instead of paying us severance. As much as I hate Stankey, I’ve been around long enough to know this isn’t just poor management... — read more

I'm shocked there were no cuts around Christmas
It almost seems too kind of AT&T leadership to spare us during the holidays. I wonder how we'll pay for that once we hit January, though.

So will Trump ask AT&T about all those jobs they said they were gonna create when he reduced the corporate tax when he was in office before? Take a look at the head count 8 yrs ago compared to now! I saw take it back from the corporate people who... — read more
