Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

RTO costing more lives...

I saw and read that someone passed away recenty at their desk. I feel sorry for this person and the family. Stinky and his minions do not care, in fact, they either want us to quit or expire. Same win for them. This is not the 1st time that someone with health issues or disabilities denied accommodation. In ATL alone, one of my coworkers passed away (he was disabled, walked with crutches), no assigned seating each time. I believe at one point he fell walking around and caused him to file FMLA and sadly he passed. Another one, walking with a walker, obviously impaired, also no assigned seats. I see this person walking around with walker assisting him daily. Some I knew had heart attacks, at least 2 people. Some lost their legs due to accidents, and yet were still told to report 5 days a week. This is just in 1 office here in ATL.

Wow the comments of some people here really are disturbing. A person passed away in his desk, that he did not need to be at. He was 42 yrs old. You do not know how he was, but I can tell you, being constantly told you would be laid off takes a toll on your mental health. This man could be the sole breadwinner for his family. And your whataboutism about some dangerous jobs, sewer, plumber, oil rings…. the risk doing that job is part of its necessity. You are trying to compare apples and oranges. We do not need to be sitting in traffic to do our job. Our job happens where our LAPTOPS are at. Have some compassion because it could be you or your family next.

A percentage of the expected attrition from RTO was always known and planned to be excess deaths from stress and commuter auto accidents. None of this is a surprise to Dallas. How you leave the payroll is of no concern to Jeffy and John John. Carrying a box or in a box, it makes no difference. Their bonuses go up either way.

Do they still publish the monthly list of “Retiree Deaths as reported to AT&T”?
I would think that’s something we all would want to aspire to!

At least we know the NJ employee was surrounded by family when he died.

Here's to hoping all RTO dies so I can give up my gas station cashier gig and become the President & CEO of AT&T.

He likely croaked because he was 60+ and his last moment of a great idea was in 1987.

At least you rubes are blaming all your problems on RTO, not Trump.

He also hated bootlicking. So it's time for you to honor his memory by stopping. Let me know when you'll be capable.

@ar

Just as soon as you get the bootlick vaccination.

What about them? They took jobs, well aware of the plusses and minuses of the position.

Some people work holidays. Others work in sewers or sla-ghterhouses. Do you deliberately work those conditions when it's not necessary, just out of solidarity? Or do your convictions only matter until you'd begin to be inconvenienced?

Oh joy. Another iteration of the tired and trite "wfh = all day golfing" trope. Yay.

Can't you bootlickers ever come up with new material? Or does subservience take up all your time?

The New Jersey employee who died in the office passed doing one of the things he loved most in life. He would want all other employees to continue to RTO in honor of him.

Get the RTO vaccination. Protect yourself. Protect your family.

RTO has nothing to do with employee deaths.

What about outside folks opening buried conduits with a torch mixed with power and gas utilities, and aerial splices with 28ft ladders. Sounds like OP and managers should go hide under their bed. Wimps

I would not have died on the golf course. No RTO.

I know two people approved to work from home for medical reasons. They're both really not that bad. Makes me think of going down that path.
