Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@k1

Tell us you've got nothing without saying you've got nothing.

I've spent my life and former career in metro NY and some Okie from Muskogee thinks it's Podunk? Try again.

Its why i can spot your BS, we have clowns like you here too. Theyre all full of fire until a demented vagrant catches them in the eye socket with a Louisville Slugger.

Tell yourself whatever you want. You're the victim paying through the nose for an unsafe and underachieving life.

@j2
Good bet you've never lived anywhere but 'Podunk', cause people who put up resistance to change typically haven't done much of that in various parts of their lives!
I think you should stay exactly where you are. Dallas doesn't want you and pretty soon ATT won't need you. An all round win! Hooray!

Comments about Dallas should come from people who've lived there, gone to college there, or spent a considerable amount of time there. Unqualified, illogical input from others have no validity. If you've lived your whole life in Podunk, your insecurity, FEAR of a megacity the size of Dallas must be paralyzing. For those, you should stay where you are. Seriously.

How about this independent survey that ranks big D 155 out of 180 on "home & community safety?"

I always love these kinds of posts by some clown who thinks he's streetwise and wants us to believe him instead of our lyin' eyes.

@dn
I’m from Chicago also. Its been miserable adjusting to the move but I stuck it to Stankey!
Do you hear that Stankey? I called your bluff loser. You lose at everything and every decision. Nothing ever works out for you just like when you were a child throwing tantrums.
I will leave when I am good and ready loser. In meantime, I will collect the paycheck and do little work as possible.

@ck did you seriously say mega city? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 if you call that a city maybe you should step out of your little re----k bubble

@a8 😆😆omg applesauce!
Who’s gonna feed you your last meal of applesauce 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the fat HR lady clapped and applauded

it is a dog-eat-dog world out there in HQ. (apologies to dogs)

I moved to Dallas in 2023 and have never looked back. It has been a good choice career wise.

@ck I’m from Chicago so I know what an actual city is - I also have spent enough time in Dallas to know there’s no comparison. But that’s not the point. The point is RTO is pretext for forced layoffs. There’s no strategy to speak of outside of culling the herd to recoup billions lost in poorly executed business deals AT THE HANDS OF STANKEY.

Original OP here. This was meant to be just a troll post…

Wow yall really don’t like working out of Dallas HQ.

Well, we have dropped like a rock since the initial RTO 3x and are plumbing new lows with 5x. All the academics and studies are saying it’s a failure. The future workplace is remote. This is just the last gasps of a dying high cost business model. I bet in 20 years hardly any work is done in an office. Only select jobs are in person where FTF matters. But I digress, they want to preach disruption, well, enable remote options, create new products and services around it. It should be our bread and butter as we are a communications company.

The only reason they want everyone in Dallas is to make people leave and make the people who stay show up to their cheap rent Titanic in the heart of the most pro-corporation court circuit in our country. No worries about the worker’s rights and protections in California or letting your employees have autonomy. Please just move to the a--hole of the country, bake, suffer, and remember to fight for a desk every morning.

No one wants to hear about Dallas and Stankey and his C suite don’t need a hype squad. Don’t you have something better to do? You reference the word “convergence” like it’s a strategy. It’s a double play and we’ve been selling it for YEARS. If you think that’s going to save this once great company Stankey single-handedly destroyed, you might want to switch sides and join the folks on this forum who actually know what’s up. LAYOFFS

"Get your butts to Dallas"

But move to Plano because that is where AT&T is headed by 2030.

Level 7 Here:

Our smartest CFO once said that we need to get our stock price low since that is where we want to be - it was said during one of the Townhall events. Our goal is to get low, in stock price, moral, employee counts, benefits, services, parking spaces, office desks...the list goes on and on...too many to fill this comment box. Cheer and Merry Christmas.

"Wall Street has rewarded as accordingly."

Yay! Our stock price is back to the 2014 levels and we have only lost 3% of our dividend. Way to go! The stock has not even kept up with inflation . . . very similar to our raises! Awesome job!

After reading two words, dynamic and convergence, I threw up in my mouth

Is that you John posting here your propaganda? Or is that one of your monions?

All we heard for 4 years was “you’re doing great, haven’t missed a step, doing better than ever” etc…..so were they lying then or are they lying now? Extroverts are cancer.

It’s kind of comforting watching the carcass of the telecom slip beneath the water after they promoted all the people from a certain region of the world. Maybe we will do a better job selling slurpees .

Don't care. Let the company go down. Nobody is awake anyways. They are watching nonsense. Don't care. Don't help.

You know what? I don’t think I will.
Dallas is a sh!t hole pathetic excuse for a “city”

I often wonder what kind of sad and pathetic hardo gets his jollies posting stuff like this.

@OP Go back to your applesauce Stank.

@a2 Just be careful once you walk down one block away from Discovery District though right? Might get mugged, stabbed or step in human fe--s. Other than that, it's cool!

OP I hope this supposed to be sarcasm. Convergence?? That’s just today’s buzz word, wow, I bet you’re new here.

Odd it doesn’t apply to contractors.

Lol

Agreed. Dallas is a beautiful city. We have over 1 million+ sqft here at Dallas HQ and more than enough space for everyone. We have spent $100 million since 2021 to renovate the Discovery District and make it nice with all the accommodations you need.

Preach!
