Company is cutting 400 employees

It’s over guys, for those who are at the bottom toll of the seniority list expect to get layoff because DirecTV just lost the nfl network.

The layoffs will be directly tied to the continuing decline of satellite. After next year, look for a serious break up to part ways with that side of the business, which means layoffs galore. Keep looking for other jobs. The TOG buy in was to polish... — read more 

There is no doubt that DTV is sinking very fast. I also don't see what could help DTV get back on track, but maybe someone still thinks that there is a strategy that could fix this mess?

Purely out of curiosity, I'm interested in how you think DTV will look in 5 years.

Finally! Just when I thought that I won't be able to find a new job and was getting desperate, my efforts paid off. I received a very solid offer and I am happy to leave here. Does anyone else see their future here? I doubt it.

If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any DIRECTV layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

What is the line where we drop below the "break even" point in terms of numbers customers and the ability to fund the basic operation of this company? To the best I can discern from industry reports, we have somewhere between 11 million and 14... — read more

The IRS Segment Rates are increasing, first 3.0 Second 4.22 Third 4.17 as of April 2022

DTV Stream is the future and I suspect the skill set is weighted towards satellite service that is waning. Maybe it's time to adjust headcount levels with emphasis on streaming service and perhaps that's why many new hires have been brought onboard... — read more 

Losing customers is a logical sequence of events, given that the company has long neglected their wishes and needs. I just hope they will know how to effectively improve customer retention?

As somebody else mentioned, we're currently amid a hiring spree and for a change, things have been going right for a while now. There is no reason for cuts at this point. I'm usually a glass-half-empty kind of guy, but even I have to admit that I've... — read more 

How bad will layoffs be?

It is not clear from the benefit programs communication

Any insights what this will be?

Increasingly, I have the impression that leadership has no desire for this company to be strong and grow, on the contrary, that leadership has become destructive. My personal opinion. Conditions are getting worse to for employees here, the... — read more

All the press reports would lead one to believe that the NEW DIRECTV is it's own entity yet again. But working for them makes me wonder how true this actually is. We still wear AT&T branded apparel, our vans still have their globe, we still use... — read more

For those MGRs who transitioned to DIRECTV and retired from AT&T (MR75 eligible) on July 31st. How long does it take to receive your Lumpsum payment? Is anyone in the process of rolling over to a Fidelity traditional IRA?

WIll ATT is done with us. Where can we do savings now? Health insurance?

so why are still living in the same house as the ex? According to all of the Bill Morrow Workplace BS and the writings of the business press, you would think that DTV is now a stand-alone company with no operational ties to the Death Star. So can... — read more

Here's my take, the 30% stake by tpg will result in all DirecTV employees to no longer report to AT&T, no longer receive an AT&T paycheck, no longer have AT&T health benefits, 401K match, pension plan, etc. Tpg is going to have a new senior... — read more
