Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Then find another job if you are capable, otherwise you are just a big loser

RTO = More collaboration, problem solving and networking which leads to better raises, bonuses and career opportunities. All of which are raises.

"Do you even realize most people in the office don’t even get lunch or breaks?"

Tats why I take extra long lunches to make up for you others.

Grow a pair and go take your lunch.

“ Did you ever think about packing a lunch from home like most of us techs?”

Do you even realize most people in the office don’t even get lunch or breaks? Most are sitting at their desks eating a sandwich they brought from home while on teams calls. There isn’t anyone going out for lunch like ever that I see.

@dp well paid is a drastic overstatement when compared to the industry. You might also be shocked to find out just how many people remain below the midpoint.

@a5 They are shocked that well paid AT&T employees are complaining about 5-day RTO.

Cry me a river. At least you have a job. Now, go take on the day.

@cf little man, please get back to the truck. You’re falling behind on your jobs. I have many tickets open for you to work.

Boo hoo...Get over it or quit.

@b3 Nice try. We all see where the bucket trucks are parked for their union enforced breakfast, lunch, and dinner breaks. It ain't at Whole Foods.

Most people did WFH for many many years before COVID ever even existed. This is what you don’t understand.

"The only people with valid complaints are those hired to WFH from the beginning."

If you weren't hired to WFH before this fiasco then you shouldn't expect it to be permanent. Many 1st level field supervisors were allowed to dispatch from home but that gets intermittently revoked when some J.A. messes it up for everyone.

Don't forget how much more often you are forced to eat out and choose garbage fast food because of commuting.

Don't forget how much more often you are forced to eat out and choose garbage fast food because of commuting. That adds both food cost and healthcare consequences which cost even more. I would estimate the average commuter loses $5k+ per year on commuting before even accounting for the loss of time that could have been spent working or sleeping.

No sh!t

Welcome to 2 years ago.

@ad Most people did WFH for many many years before COVID ever even existed. This is what you don’t understand.

In a typical car getting about 20 MPG

You should have gotten a car with better gas mileage.

WFH was temporary. The only people with valid complaints are those hired to WFH from the beginning.

I'd quit if I'd were you. That would teach leadership a thing or two.

OP-
100%

T “leadership” could care less!

“ People outside the company are always shocked when they hear about the 5-day mandate.“

1000% . And even more so once you explain badge swipe monitoring and the Presence Reporting to them. We have become numb to it. But rest assured, it’s far from “industry standard” or even close to the norm anywhere else.

Despite what the pathetic boot licking “and yet you stay” guy and “see you on the commute “ guy say. Over and over again. Sad little obese and lonely trolls they are.

You cry about RTO every day
And yet you stay

Considering you aren’t able to get a job outside of AT&T, what other option do you have?

I’m just waiting for little man to post his same 5 copy paste replies here for the 100th time. What an id--t that guy is. Pathetic bootlicker brown noser.

Not to mention the time. Two hours a day commuting is basically an unpaid second job.

People outside the company are always shocked when they hear about the 5-day mandate.

Yep. Meanwhile the work itself hasn’t changed at all. Just the cost of showing up. The crazy part is we already proved the work gets done just fine remotely for many years before Covid.

The second car point is huge. A lot of families had to do that just because of 5-day RTO. I couldn’t even get a lease because of the miles. I had to buy a car just to destroy it driving in circles everyday for zero measurable benefit.

And that’s just fuel. Add tolls, insurance, wear on the car and it’s easily thousands more per year.

They won’t even acknowledge it. Stink is a POS who hates everyone who works here. Notice how a mass exodus is happening right now? This company is circling the drain. Things are about to get ugly. All Stink knows how to do is destroy value. He has the track record to prove it. Most hated in history and #1 atop the CEO wall of shame. #WOAT
