Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

If only they could understand

If the execs had any clue how many core employees on their “critical initiatives” are just weeks away from working at another company, they’d lose it. The people holding this place together are the ones leaving, and they have no backup plan for that.

So many people are hanging on to hope of change to RTO that if 5x RTO bleeds into next year they’re in for a rude awakening, and when they realize their mistake as late as they usually do it’ll be too late. Once you leave toxic T nothing can bring you back. Nobody is willing to accept 5x RTO when they can work remote or hybrid for a better company who actually respects them. The job market is opening back up, so FAFO is about to hit hard.

What will you do when all the high performers walk or retire and you’re stuck with a bunch of duds nobody else wants? Good luck!

Their backup plan is send it all to India so the third party contractor can train AI to do it badly. Just like they did with enterprise and mid-market billing.

And when the customers complain? Just send an email to some mailbox to be ignored.

@b1
Are you kidding? Getting surplussed is a gift. Severance, pension, & unemployment is a lot better than RTO & the hot mess of what they call leaders.

@b1 If y'all would focus all this energy into showing up to work, y'all might actually be able to keep your jobs

Fortunately, for me, y'all too concerned about the golf and tennis club and doing personal chores at the house instead of showing up to work like everyone else.

Lol, let me know how that works out for you.

High performers actually show up to work.

The only high performance you're capable of is complaining.

@az well actually, since I deliver better results than you, I’ll remain, without any need to RTO at all. I’m not worried even a little bit. But I know you are. Your head will roll because you think your job is done when you swipe in and sit down. You should leave before you’re surplussed.

@ax what’s really funny is that you’ll spend all this time and effort making good on RTO 5x a week and you’ll still be laid off. Those boots you lick are about to kick you in the teeth. Your badge swipe and parroting their buzzwords here doesn’t protect you. I’ll laugh at you while you’re in tears because of the people you’re trying to protect. You’re a fool!

@ay Sure, but you're on here worried about it.

You'll be in the next cut for sure. Thanks for taking the heat off me over something so simple like "showing up to work."

High performance means hitting all the metrics, not just the ones that matter to you.

PARTY'S OVER.

@ax 5 months no RTO and I’m. Still. Here…. RTO is for the low performers who think their job is validated by swiping and sitting. I deliver results and therefore do what I want. It must su-k to be you.

@aw Cool story, bro.

And when you get laid off, put me down as a reference.

I'll let prospects know you're not a team player and you don't show up to work.

PARTY'S OVER...get back to work!

Employers love that. rolls eyes

@av welcome back? I was never in an office before Covid, and now I’m still not.. By the way, thanks for going into the office for me. Your 100% presence cancels out my 0% and we both get shown as 50% under the larger org umbrella. Jokes on you, su---r.

@ar like I said… No thank you. I will not. I have the best bootlickers around just like you who keep the report nice and purty so guys like me don’t have to go in. As long as you keep going I keep flying under the radar. Thank you!! GOOD BOY!!!
I love the submissive weak little sheep like you who comply with the nonsense so bold men like me can do what we want without penalty. Haven’t been in the office since June. NFTO too. Jokes on you buddy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@aj Thanks for the valuable nugget, so now that Covid is over can I go back to working from home like I did before Covid?

No. They won't care in the future either. They're gonna finish filling their pockets and then leave.

“If the execs had any clue how many core employees on their “critical initiatives” are just weeks away from working at another company, they’d lose it.”

Most “core” employees at T have no other options due to outdated skills. T leadership sees this.
