Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Surplus? When would be the next round?

Any ideas of what is coming? Anyone heard any more about HUB cities ?

@tk I’ve heard the same thing. I know that our supervisors are always talking about how the Platinum team is where to be right now if you are in sales.

Non-sales organizations are going to take a big hit around May-June according to folks in those business units. Sad. I’m among them and don’t know from week to week whether we will still have a job here, so looking around.

Every organization, with the exception of mid-markets Platinum, can expect ongoing cuts this year. MM Platinum is the only organization currently adding positions that I’ve heard of.

I heard CSO was going down by 35% in the next round of cuts in 2nd quarter.

Virtual employees under Legg got letters Friday

Nope, not buying it. There are entire Teams under Legg hired outside of a Hub and working virtual. Everyone knows it and does not take any of this noise seriously. In other words we will believe it when we see it. Rules should apply for all including friends and family.

Virtual employees under Legg got letters Friday

Heard CSO will have massive reorg in June. Still seeing level 3 hiring in non hub Charlotte of ex baich pal companies while cuts elsewhere. Non of these people hired know anything about networks or their security and only bank branch yet baich seems he'll bent on getting rid of ones that do.

Count on continued network breaches. Yet at all of his townhalls, he never speaks of cuts at non Charlotte yet happening regularly elsewhre and he's putting directors not colocated with reports which also "not allowed". Level 4s who he hired from Charlotte and went to Dallas are now "magically" being assigned back to Charlotte. Many seem to have never actually sold Charlotte houses. Continued nepotism at ATT

I’m not sure why I am getting downvoted.

Someone said (direct quotation) : “Virtual employees under Legg got letters Friday (move/report to hub)”

I’m a virtual under Legg. I didn’t get a letter.

I’m sorry that makes some of you angry. Just sharing facts.

I fully understand I may indeed get a letter at some point. I’m ok with that.

"cut high performing sales individuals like myself just to cut salary."

I don't understand cutting sales people, especially if they contribute enough sales to cover all of their expense, unless they just think that other sales people can easily pick up that territory. I get efficiencies, et al.

Consider yourself lucky then to be missed in this round of targeting - just because you did not get a letter does not mean no letters went out. I personally know multiple employees who received them Friday.

Public Sector got slashed today. Seems like about half of Tier 2 & Tier 3 got letters today with May 4 dates. Its disgusting. AT&T just paid to send Alliance Channel and Sales Managers to Vegas last week, only to cut high performing sales individuals like myself just to cut salary.

"Virtual employees under Legg got letters Friday (move/report to hub). Don’t know how many people total, or how long on payroll if they decline."

It should have been all of them.

Corey Anthony announced Yakutsk, Russia will be a new hub in 2029. All San Ramon, El Segundo/L.A. and Bothell employees will be sent letters. Free outdoor ice skating rink and on site financial planning. Then he cracked a silly joke and gave that smirk of his.
