Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

"Corporate and Governmental standards are adopting the 5x0 RTO options. It just works better."

The only groups that are enforcing 5xRTO are the ones that want to reduce head count, including the leader of the Federal Government.

We at T want our four day weekends back. That way we have Sar-Sun to do what we want.

Corporate and Governmental standards are adopting the 5x0 RTO options. It just works better.

“Any move toward more in-office presence is lost ground in the battle we are fighting.”

Hilarious you think you have been making any ground with RTO reversal.

T is a follower, definitely NOT a leader!

"Metrics proved this wasn't true."

The metrics the company never mentioned or shared with the employees . . . those metrics? The entire reason for RTO was to increase collaboration, yet the company did nothing to ensure that the people who actually need to collaborate have desks next to each other. So, yeah, all that was BS too. But you keep tonguing the bung of Stankey.

“Metrics proved this wasn't true.”

Which metrics bozo? Legg himself said we’ve never been more productive and profitable than we were during Covid when everyone was WFH.

“3 is better than 5. I’m mid interview with Verizon right now. Clearly the better option.”

Interviewer: So what is the main reason you are looking to leave AT&T?

Candidate: Management expected me to work in an office.

Interviewer: Verizon HR is updating policies and has started moving towards FTO.

“We were all more productive, happier, and more profitable as a company when we worked remote.”

Metrics proved this wasn't true.

@ah Any move toward more in-office presence is lost ground in the battle we are fighting. We were all more productive, happier, and more profitable as a company when we worked remote. Any activity in opposition to that fact is a further slide into power-drunk boomer denialism by corporate boards. There is only one rational reason to bring people back into offices, and that is to get them to quit. Everything else is lies in service to that goal. Verizon moving further away from remote work is a very bad thing for us all.

“ @ab They are going from 2 days per week (8 days per month) to 3 days per week (12 days per month). They is nothing unclear about what they are changing. They are phasing remote work out“

Who said it was unclear?

You do understand that 3 days a week still falls under the “structured hybrid” category, do you not?

Verizon sees light and drops the dead weight also.

@ab They are going from 2 days per week (8 days per month) to 3 days per week (12 days per month). They is nothing unclear about what they are changing. They are phasing remote work out. The employers have won this battle, and the serfs will be where they are told to be. None of them care if you quit.

“That means they are moving toward 5x8 also.“

Incorrect. First, they don’t follow us with policy. We tend to follow them.

Second, they still acknowledge the benefit of the structured hybrid approach and they have no plans for 5 day RTO policy.

Looks my previous post vanished. To free up desk space and parking, alternate a week of rto and a week of virtual. Still have people in the office 5 days a week every week. Ready for this idea to be shot down or deleted again. Fire away.

Not a good development. That means they are moving toward 5x8 also. No one wants GenX to stay around.

How about alternating weeks. 5 days RTO, 5 days virtual. Should free up plenty of desks and parking. And there still would be people in the office 5 days a week throughout the month. Don't want our leadership to be lonely, do we? Ready for the reasons this won't work or won't happen. Fire away.

Come on T, let me work Tues, Wed, and Thurs and have permanent 4 day week-ends!!!!

3 is better than 5. I’m mid interview with Verizon right now. Clearly the better option.

They’re cutting to 3 hub locations too. Funny seeing them follow T.

I thought 5 days was the “industry standard”???
