Anne Chow will do what she’s been doing for the last 10 years which is having a town hall and then dodge the tough questions
What about att consulting? Those guys make waaaayyyy too much money!
transformation strategy - wow i am impressed lol
@1hqi it was never said that cuts aren’t coming to Chow’s org, but that description of the sales segments was laughably bad.
How are you a troll if you work in ABS? It's the same old story in all segments, especially National Business. I once went to a customer meeting with 10 people–only 2 were from the customer, the rest were AT&T sales staff. After the town hall over the following weeks, we'll know who is on the surplus list. We'll be offered severance packages based on the management payout schedule, and prorated PTO/PDO for 2020 and balance from prior year.
@fkx Outside of maybe global, you could not have missed the mark any more regarding the other sales orgs under Chow.
Remember Jack duffy? he created this cesspol.
Way too much fat in ABS, every segment from Global Business (Top Fortune 500), National Business (Former Premier Client Group and larger businesses from Corporate Business Solutions merger), to SMB, have too many sales executives, account managers, technical sales consultants, with too few customers. Instead of 5 sales people per account, you need 1 customer facing per account.
Announcements will not be out tomorrow they are still weeks away from announcing who is cut.
The announcements will be out by EOB Friday of what the new Structure will look like and then she will talk about the why and how it will work. Between Covid, the Social unrest, and work all crazy .... if I hear substantial cuts, dramatic change, or new normal one more time I may puke!
It will be as pointless as the Saxena call. Nothing of substance. All we learned there (from the email that preceded the call) was that a couple high level managers were getting promoted.
That wont be the layoff notice. She will talk about what her directs will be responsible for. They will probably then talk about their team. It wont go too many levels lower. It wont give you insight into what happens to you. Those never happen on big calls. She probably wont even talk about number of cuts. That will likely be a "more information will come out over the next several weeks" comment.
The boom will be lowered!
