Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Do AVPs and up have a memo incentivizing them to terminate on site for the smallest things?

I've heard several stories about AVP/VP level terminating L2s for petty items. Are they getting a bonus for doing so? (Cohen org, for reference)

@de “rolls”

Go back to your truck and do some undereducated work for the man and get off your COU.

AVP have been tasked to transform the culture. If they don’t change the culture, they will get a calendar invite titled “HR Sync” where an HR rep equipped with a Kornferry script and the current VP in the chain of command. They will get 60 day suspension (vacation essentially) plus normal severance and be terminated with “employment placement support”. How do you avoid “HR Sync” ambush? Make it look like you are changing the culture. Hosting a webcast won’t cut it anymore, you need to fire a few people to show Stankeyvision 2.0 (with 25% more failure). Prison rules, become someone’s bootlick on day one or start licking boots.

I believe they are compensated for every person off payroll without severance or lawsuits. They would never put such a policy in writing though. They use code words. Efficiency increases etc.

AVP positions are useless rolls. They are running scared becasue they know there jobs offer no value and they are on the short layoff list themselves.

@a7 Hard to explain the terminations I've seen other than a desire for downsizing
