Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

I work from home every workday now. It's nice. I get a lot accomplished too.

I am gonna be honest. I am here to stay. Nobody else will pay me what I make here . That is probably the same for most of you all too. Su-k it up til you get surplus.

What are you really doing when WFH?

See ya….

If you can find another job, you won’t be here.

Good plan. Do that. Save a job for someone else.

Talk about "pushing the envelope"!

OP......are you crazy?

@cj that’s easy. Just start rolling by their office and blowing your air horns and your cowbells and tell them you’re celebrating wins and accomplishments. Bring the open floor plan to them.

What's actually keeping anyone from just lying at this point? We all know how unreliable the reporting is, might as well take advantage of that

You have enough vacation to take to not have to RTO. For the rest of you “Pull up your bootstraps and RTO”.

RTO and actually work.

Take your talents where they will be respected and appreciated. As long as AT&T is run by an egomaniac narcissist pr*ck like John Stankey, the company will continue to falter. I retired 18 months ago and I can assure you there are far better opportunities than AT&T. He wants a market based culture, give him one. The market always demands and seeks talent. Leverage the market my friend as many of us have done. Best of luck.

“That’s the whole plan. Get people to quit without severance.”

The plan is to have FT employees work FT hours.

That’s the whole plan. Get people to quit without severance.

Lol wittle baby

Hi folks. Today, I received an email from my VP advising us that his organization will be implement hybrid mode starting on January 5, 2026. The hybrid mode entails working 2 office days and 3 remote/home days. The 8-hour per day still applies and the presence report will continue to be tracked/monitored. He also stated every organization within the company is different and this policy is not meant for the whole company.

I guess that will be my early Christmas gift. 🎅🤶🧑‍🎄🎄❄️⛪

Working in an open floor plan is extremely draining, stressful, and just plain su-ks, they know it, yet continue to go all in. Meanwhile, HR and GRE have their own little private, quiet kingdoms. That’s what’s so maddening.

@ba

RTO just goes to show plenty of freeloaders in office, and yet many RTO’ers just like to gossip about stupid sh-t. the management controls obviously su-k because these people continue to milk the system, driving down morale while the good ones leave.

Sayonara Stank!

WFH, aka tennis and golfing.

was told WFH is allowed. safe from rto.

Yeah, no one really WANTS to work five days a week.

But, we all got bills to pay...PARTY'S OVER

See you in traffic on the commute to the office!

more power in your liberation from the drakonian reptilian inspired mandate by drako stank

Bye

don’t listen to the cr@p for @ba.

Keep up the fight!!

Get over it !

Our director gave us the green light to WFH through March. Was a nice surprise. Legg org.

We won’t even know you left unless you come back here to whine more. Good luck finding what you’re looking for out there. Maybe your generation can 6-7 your way into a new career. Barista is cool but you still have to show up five days so you might not get that unless you go part time.

Whoever is asking for work from home are free riders and don’t need to show frustration here. They can quit. Thats what AT&T thinks and presented in real word inspite of what some one were really doing. Although they knew all were not free riders but to save AT&T blunder they are doing it.

@aq - if venting on a public forum was good for the OP, then it accomplished something for them. Maybe not for you so just keep it to yourself please.

LMAO. May the odds be ever in your favor.

PS: Grand Stink wants you to leave. He doesn’t care. He’s begging for you to give him a reason to cut you without severance.

@av it’s funny you think someone needs to physically be in an office to “actually work”. If that’s the case for you, then you are the problem.

OP - I will be leaving in April if nothing changes

If you no longer want to work, why not resign?

OP -- I have decided I am out of year 1Q26 whether I have a job or not. I am done with this place if nothing changes.

@OP
Employees have a right to resist policies that they deem counterproductive. However, when a corporations policies negatively impact you, the wise thing to do is to intelligently and strategically leave.
Venting on public forums accomplishes nothing. Just saying; in fact, it suggests you aren't serious about changing your situation!

This is what they’re banking on, might as well leave now and help the people who plan to stay.

They really don’t care. They won’t even backfill your spot, just dump it on someone else.

OP, they don’t care.

@a7 just because someone is a terrible leader doesn’t mean I need to run away….i opt to stay and make a difference in the area I’m in. I just don’t need to be in an office to do it.

Running away as a first instinct says more about you… doesn’t it? Soyboy
