Is it just me, or is everything getting a little bit worse each year?

The overall atmosphere, the way teams are managed, and the direction from the top just keep declining. There's no big, single event to point to, but the slow grind of it all is wearing. You notice it in every new policy and in every decision that seems disconnected from the actual work. This place has changed so, so much in recent years, and none of it for the better.


H1B 2026 roles - what’s in store for us

Concerned what I see with companies this year with hiring & retaining H1B status employees. Trump’s shift on H1B quotas & increased cost is really encouraging most companies to avoid sponsoring H1B anymore. What moves will Cisco do with H1Bs in 2026, I getting more worried for 2026…


Rest, recharge , reset… whoooo hooo!

Don’t you feel electrified by this message of Robin love? Is anyone really going to come out of this totally refreshed and ready? Do tell please.
I for one, don’t see any rest or recharge. I am going to be handholding offshore and dealing with direct client issues. I welcome being let go as long as I get full severence. And that isn’t likely. I think veterans of this place are going to be jipped on this. My manager even told me the aboves are looking to limit or stop payouts on more than 50% of those people targeted.


Hilarious who got saved.

Last day is today, every single person I have spoken to has asked me for something. “Hey where do I get this?” “What happens if I see this error?” “Where is the code for this process?”

If you need those questioned to be answered, then you were saved for the wrong reason. You’ll be next.


Received a weird letter

Received a letter stating you are not required to relocate at this time but at some point in future your role will be filled in Dallas. Does this mean it is virtual forever or will I be let go at some point?

Anybody in this situation relocated to save your primary job, sell your home, sacrificing your spouse’s job and moved kids to Dallas?


401k going down

Asked my manager as a follow op with the 401k going down and what other total compensation costs there are projected to be in 2026. She was surprised that barely any people were asking about that, granted the area I work in is basically all women of the older demographic. Do a lot of the people just not care with all these cut’s happening?


No merit increases... layoffs the next step?

No matter how well you were ranked this year, no merit raises for next year (effectively a pay cut if you factor in inflation). A whole year of trying to care to essentially be told I was d-mb for not doing the bare minimum. We all know that John May has said he's never going to pay someone to quit ever again, so how long before he decides to not pay us in a layoff?


Fresh delivery

Sooo the clubs with 3rd shift receiving how’s the “new” fresh delivery working, you know when delivery time is supposed to be before 4 AM, because it’s not! We get more M &P deliveries AFTER 6:00 AM and that puts all other SCHEDULED deliveries behind! Once again someone sitting behind a desk thought it was a good idea 🙄


Tough Times

I get it, times are tough here at AT&T. You might live really far away from a hub and now you have to drive for hours to get here. Maybe you are even sleeping in the parking lot over night. I feel for you. But for the love of God, if you are going to be hotboxing cigs for hours in your car, keep some fresh clothes in a bag and think about using the showers on the first floor. No one should have to smell you all day long.


Reorg fatigue and shiny new strategy fatigue

What Dan Schulman is proposing isn’t new. You can find old videos of Tami Irwin bragging about how customer centric we’ve become and old videos of Shankar Arumugavelu bragging about how much gen AI has improved things.

We’ve had reorgs that didn’t make much sense every year and a slew of executives who overpromised , underdelivered, and then moved on. Hans, Ronnan Dunne, Manon Brouillette, Shankar, Linda Avery, Diego Scotti, etc…

It’s been years since I’ve worked for other companies. There were problems but I don’t remember it being this bad. I’m worried this might be the new standard in corporate America.
