Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Leg T Layoffs Coming

Talk going around today between Dallas and Atlanta is that it's cheaper to pay off Leg T union employees to get rid of them rather than keep them on the payroll considering high costs, high absenteeism, low productivity and trainability as well as non-collaberative attitudes. It's being agreed on by top leadership that it's much cheaper and far more easy to pay the termination pay per contract, and now that the watermark is no longer an obstacle, the first step will be to declare surplus which means VTP will be offered without a cap. This is expected to reduce the Leg T workforce by at least half. The remaining will be Involuntarily laid off by year end as all Leg T work is automated, outsourced and off-shored.

@f5 The OP doesn't really know anything herself. She's just sharing what she overheard thinking that's what this board is for.

@az pretty much what I’m talking about. Southern folks are lazy with smooth brains.

Even if they pay you 104 wks, you may not have time to enjoy it 😁

@av Where do you think Leg T employees are? You sound like you're implying they're in the "d-mb south," but the Southeast is NOT Leg T.

Funny you bring you bring this up OP. I’m from the northern part of the country and it’s very noticeable when you would have to call in to the NDC, NFSD or Microwave Support. These people could hardly take the time to answer the phone, let alone speak clearly/have knowledge etc. Tyrone, wake up! Shyleetha, hang up with your girlfriend and put the nail file down. You phone is lit up! That was always the running joke amongst us lol

Oh, is this the same “they’re going to pay us 5 years salary to leave” guy?

Didn’t happen. Isn’t happening. Won’t happen.
