@e5 - Rest assured..... Every organization will see cuts on the same timeline.
@db HR cuts should occurred simultaneously with other cuts - what are all these HR people doing with a reduced workforce and more automation ?
@a8 I see what you did there. 🤭
@ag yes anti bloating medication needed
@aa about time there’s far too many in EMea , no one knows what they do
Finance is the clearest place for AI to prove itself inside AT&T because so much of the work is rules‑based, repetitive, and measurable. When AI takes over tasks like reconciliations, reporting cycles, and compliance checks, you immediately see the impact in faster closes, fewer errors, and far less manual effort. And because the numbers don’t lie, it becomes obvious where headcount was tied up in work that didn’t require human judgment.
That’s why finance becomes the test case: if AI can streamline one of the most process‑heavy parts of AT&T, it shows what’s possible across the entire organization.
HR will be next.
@af , along with marketing.
Double it and give it to the next person
Freddy Kreuger is making deep cuts.
Who remembers these lies ?

Last night, Fox News aired an inaccurate and grossly misleading story about some work we have shifted to vendors. I suspect the story upset you as much as it did me. That’s why I want to set the record straight on what we’ve done and how we’ve treated our employees.
The story talked about us moving some management billing functions to Accenture. The facts are -- none of our U.S. employees are moving to Accenture’s payroll and all have been offered other jobs within AT&T. If they don’t accept the job offered to them and they are not able to find another job within AT&T by early next year, we will still pay them their full severance benefits.
The story also talked about tech companies bringing workers to the U.S. under the H-1B visa program. But it fails to mention that no H-1B workers will be used for the billing functions we’re shifting to Accenture.
There are other recent deals where we have shifted work and employees to companies like IBM or other vendors. In these cases, our employees are guaranteed a job with their new employer. At the same time, other companies are shifting work to us. So, it goes both ways.
I hope these facts provide you with the perspective that you didn’t get from the Fox News report.
We thank you for your cooperation and encourage you to reach out to your HR support with any questions or feedback.
Wow... not sure why so bitter. Any force reduction in any company is a sad day. Apparently you dont know much about the Finance org at ATT because if you did you would know they have layoffs just about every six months. Always the first to go. The only difference this time its not voluntary and based on performance which basically means anyone still left with a pension or many years of service are marked. How do you think these corporations run without Finance? Tax, Expense, Cap,Pay just come out of thin air? GO OUTSIDE AND TOUCH SOME GRASS!
Deep cuts are also needed in HR.
Extremely bloated. They could cut by 50 percent.
One of the most bloated and useless groups at T.
"What orgs within Finance?"
S Sanders/M Kreuger
Layoffs?
Does not make any cents at all.
That’s it? Lot of dead weight there.
Only 15%? Is this just the first wave?
What orgs within Finance?
About time layoffs hit finance teams. Traditionally overstaffed especially in downtown Dallas.
