Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

AI has come to stand for Artificial Ignorance.
He’s not entirely to blame but he co-signs all of the artificial ignorance.

No spine/backbone.
What’s never addressed is the affects of Slash-And-Burn RTO. Not to mention how this impacts our customers through preventable outages and so on.
You see, they don’t care that there’s a huge brain drain going on.
It’s not talked about enough.
The company would rather fire talented people or force experienced people to retire Just To Meet__ artificial numbers.
Pity, because those remaining employees are going to have to suffer the consequences of this short sighted behavior.

Its like the dipsh-ts in C-suites come up with this stuff on their private islands while drinking panda blood or something. I am not with AT&T but this is the exact same cr-p being spouted at my workplace. Makes me want to puke when the "Leaders" open their trap.. call themselves leaders, the nerve.

@a9 because of MONEY. That's the only reason anyone stays in this dumpster fire.

@a9 - "You complain and remain" - Yes, because I'm close to retirement, the job market is awful, and it's worse for people over 50.
@a1 - "You can essentially have a dedicated desk if you come in early enough." Well, I tried coming in early - like 6:30 am. And you know what... everyone else is trying the same tactic. After 3 pm, it becomes a ghost town. But I don't want to work later because of the traffic.
@a7 - "Except for the decade I worked from home." Ditto! Totally agree.
@a5 - "Work as prescribed 9-5 M-F. Has been done over a century... " Uh, yeah... and that was before we had the technology to interface with other remotely and by the way, AT&T should be paving the way on this since they're a telecommunications company!
@a3 and @a8 - "If they want you in 5 days a week, why can't they provide you a desk 5 days a week?" Totally agree. It's stupid to have non-assigned desks. And BTW, some people are 'forced' to be in the open environments surrounded by noise, bright lights, and no privacy, while others are allowed to sneak away and sit in a corner somewhere. It all depends on who you report to.
Frankly, I get a TON more work done when I'm at home and can concentrate. But the sad thing is that productivity isn't valued. Which is rather ironic. It's all about 'fluff and sunshine'... until the next layoff.

@a9 its same like your loving ceo does, keep doing data breaches, loosing lawsuits but still say he is good and remain here because he will also not find any job anywhere.

you complain and remain

Most annoying situation when everyone is in office, few people talk too loud, few people eat anything which others may not like, few smoke and sit next to you. These collaborations make feel sick going to office. In the name of collaboration its just an ego of one person who don’t know and care what someone do when they work from anywhere. Just an excuse to fire anyone, nothing else.

@a5 except for the decade I worked from home from 2008-2019…

@a4 more like Abominable Insidiousness.

@a1 who wrote this? AI ?

Artificial Ignorance

@a1 if they want you in 5 days a week, why cant they provide you a desk 5 days a week? It literally makes no sense. They bsed and lied about this.

"You can essentially have a dedicated desk if you come in early enough. Make better choices and create solutions."

How can you hear your thoughts when your brain is shoved up your a$$? My shift starts at 11.@$$hat. Some of my coworkers start at 10, 9 and 12. This aint a breakfast place.

You can essentially have a dedicated desk if you come in early enough. Make better choices and create solutions.
