Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

This place is so cheap

Employee appreciation week yay! You guys should throw a party for everyone on the team - no budget given. So we pay for our own party - yet again I might add.

Combine that with 4 years in a row with an exceeds rating and getting far less than 2% raise. Oh great, I can take my family to McDonalds once a paycheck (barely).

I’m just done with this place. No matter how much I deliver of performance, that’s the best you can do? Never any Connection awards (what’s that?). The exact same bonus as everyone else, no raises, no promotions.

You don’t take care of your people, treat everyone like trash, you are not paying a fair market wage (we are the lowest in telecom), no budgets for anything, yet they waste billions on failed deals, waste millions on stupid marketing stunts.

I’m just fed up with this place. Nobody should come work here unless they are desperate.

Yet you're still here. Your skills must be really marketable to other companies.

So comment to hear that employees appreciate their team members and manager. Although their perspective of “ Leadership” is the opposite. Our Leadership team has failed on some many fronts, the middle management team is too busy marketing themselves all upwards while su-king the life out of their teams.

@ax "several huge blunders over the last 10 years"

You realize these are all top 10 of all time corporate blunders worthy, right? T-Mo, DTV, TW might even all crack top 5. Guess we can celebrate with bag of popcorn we didn't make #1 with Enron. Connecting changes everything!

The Stink appreciates you paying for your own parties, so he can take the corporate jets to all the golf contents Toxic-T sponsors!

We stay for the cho. Very few can find a gig that pays better right now and not paying my mortgage isn't a good choice.

@ax glad you have had a good experience. A lot of others can’t say the same.

While there have been several huge blunders over the last 10 years, my experience has been different. I have been nicely overcompensated for a job that is very manageable. AT&T has contributed hugely to achieving significant wealth, financial independence, ability to solidly support my family, and being generous to family and others. I'm blessed and grateful!

It's stanks market culture. Only he sells rotten produce to the producers.

It’s more about promoting yourself with marketing skills instead of performing the real work in order to get biggest raises.

"I like my job and I like my team but I cannot stand the leadership."

Same here. I've stayed for 20 years because of good managers, good teams and good work, while pretty much hating "leadership" (such a misnomer). I also stayed because I could work from home. Unfortunately, RTO happened at the same time as the tech job market going to he!!. So yes, here I stay. Having a job is a win. I still like my manager, still like my team and still hate management above my manager. But they keep depositing those checks, so I keep showing up.

Will I work hard for the 8 hours I'm in the office. Absolutely. Will I give "extra"? Go above and beyond? Not on your life.

I like my job and I like my team but I cannot stand the leadership. It’s just mistake after mistake then trying to shove down our throats how great it is.
