Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Move to Dallas or quit.

The company and John Stankey have made it clear that the direction is for employees to be colocated in Dallas. It doesn’t make sense for us to operate and keep open hubs or offices across the U.S. for a distributed workforce. Either relocate to Dallas or quit.

And none of this nonsense of I work in a (fake) hub located in LA, St Louis, or Arkansas city. I have specialized skills or deliver exceptional value nonsense. We run a dynamic customer-facing business, tackling large-scale, challenging initiatives. This is why we work in person, together in Dallas, during common working hours. If working in another city is important to you, then do it for some other company.

We have customers all over the US so let's concentrate our employee base in one city. Sounds like a brilliant plan.

Pssssh. Silly. Uproot your family and move across the Country on your own dime and PTO time in this housing market for a CEO who publicly stated that there is no loyalty here?

Seems to me that would be a bad business deal. But then again, he’s really good at making those.

@ad Dallas is a beautiful city. Looks like T is doubling down on Dallas as our home.

@ae but when you keep moving the employment goal post every year, eventually you lose the trust and get the culture like this.

Entitled Americans in the comments. AT&T sets the terms of employment - and you enter those. Not the other way around.

If I relocate to Dallas I may still get laid off eventually. Then I will be left homeless, stuck in Dallas, and without a network or support system. Sounds like an adventure.
