Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@xw I will be playing my golf and tennis at the new multi billion dollar Plano facility! Too bad you’ll be stuck in the truck refreshing this site, little man!

@n8 lol...cry harder.

Why you so mad, bro?

Cause your cushy wfh gig ended and you actually have to work now?

No more golf. No more tennis. Boo hoo hoo.

“ Sure, pal...And I'm the CEO of the company. That's why you're on here crying about RTO so hard.

Whelp, see you on the commute!“

I don’t care if you believe me or not.

And I don’t complain about having to go in once a month (100 miles each way). Not a peep.

But I am sympathetic to those whose lives have been impacted so significantly for no valid reason.

Unlike you, who seems to be fully er--t over it. Really very strange. As is your use of the word “whelp”. Which isn’t a word. And your constant “see you on the commute” refrain, which makes no sense, and is not funny nor clever. Nor even irritating in the way you seem to hope it may be. Just a dull and boring refrain from a dimwitted and likely obese middle aged angry guy with a limited capacity,

@b8 I accepted a job that was 5 miles from my home. Before Covid worked from there a couple days a week and from home most days. After Covid I was told that’s no longer an acceptable office and was told I must go to an office 50 miles away for “collaboration”. So, you dümb mótherfũcker, I didn’t “accept” a job 50 miles away, it was foisted on me unfairly. Please try to keep up

@js I know this might be hard for you to comprehend… but you aren’t talking to just one person here. We all know you are the only “Pro-RTO” guy here but on the opposite end there are hundreds who hate RTO on this site. Please work that smooth brain a little harder and try to keep up.
Yes there are still many of us who are virtual, and yes almost everyone could be. Don’t be salty you chose a blue collar job that requires physical presence and we didn’t. You can always pivot if you want.

Ohh the Stankey and minions are so happy that gas prices are up, now the employees are really going to quit on top of many reasons they created. So this gas going up actually works for them. Heck, if they could make us come in 7 days a week, they would. Rising gas prices = More RTO enforcement = quitting employees = happy AT&T executives

@g9 "Nah. Still virtual."

Sure, pal...And I'm the CEO of the company. That's why you're on here crying about RTO so hard.

Whelp, see you on the commute!

You have to earn $10k a year to pay for $6k in gas. The government wants thier cut first.

"You are in the wrong if this is actually what you are doing."

Typical Stank bootlicker. Either your reading comprehension is non-existent or you did not read the entire post. Either way, you are part of the problem with AT&T!

@gd the 70s was over 50 years ago pal. Time to hang it up. The world has passed you by. Offices are pointless now

If they want pointless 5 days they should pay for our gas.

"managers" lol..

@gd The office was invented for su-k ups, tired old f@rts with spouses and children who can’t stand them and low talent, low IQ ego maniacs on power trips. Hey, that’s a perfect description of you!

Work has been done at the office for 100 years since the office chair was invented. You didn't know? Home is for puppies and babies when you return after a long day doing something earning money

“ See you in the office, buddy!”

Nah. Still virtual.

@fm Nah.

These low-effort, crybaby RTO posts get low effort in return.

Whelp, see you on the commute! See you in the office, buddy!

The reward for a successful year is the bonus check.

@c4 don’t worry copilot will take over coding for you.

I wish they'd announce a large surplus in AT&T West. I'd take the ESB and rid myself of this 60 mile round trip commute most of us techs do in this yard.

Gas is what our paltry raises were given to help cover. It wasn't to reward for a successful year.

@dc "engage" what a joke! Everyone around me has a on a headset for a teams call. And when they don't, they vanish somewhere. The others you can barely understand. We all know this has NOTHING to do with collaboration & all to do with making your life so miserable you quit.

“Go sit in an office, work on code on a screen, talk to no one, drive home.”

You are in the wrong if this is actually what you are doing. The whole point of collaboration is to engage with your local coworkers.

Welcome to the real world. Most of us have to commute to work.

If you were hired to WFH then it does su-k for you.
If you were reporting to an office and were allowed to WFH during COVID, then quit your whining. Only fools thought it'd be forever.

Nobody from my group is in the same office. Everyone is scattered across the country. Makes 0 sense, but then again pretty par for the course at this company. Go sit in an office, work on code on a screen, talk to no one, drive home. Totally pointless. I’d get it if it made sense, but it doesn’t.

They
Don’t
Care

@b8 “talk about it around the water cooler”
How about we talk about out it at the -rinals? I will be the one -eeing on your leg and telling you that it’s raining.

“ RTO and actually work“

Boring. You’re boring and you’re boring everyone.

Sick of the crybaby work from home BS. Go to work 5x8 and shut up. Bunch of pa----s.

Why did you accept a job 50 miles from home? Covid is over. We can talk about this around the water cooler

If you’re driving a car that gets 20 mpg, as !diotic as RTO is that’s on you. Get a used EV if you can charge at home and if not, get a Prius, Camry, Accord Hybrid or whatnot.

If you voted for the demented criminal who both caused this and who wants to make sure everyone drives the least efficient, most polluting vehicles possible, then just STFO and as the low IQ cockroach here always says, RTO and actually work.

RTO and actually work.

Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks.

@a4 I am not sure why you were downvoted, I completely agree with your point.

@ag sure, will you be traveling from Dallas to Atlanta to have this conversation “in the office”?? My boss and I do not sit in the same location. Surely this isn’t something that could be discussed via a phone call, email, or teams message from anywhere in the world, right?… right?

@ag why wait for that?? Call me on the phone right now and tell me right away… you know that thing we invented 150 years ago that everyone’s celebrating.

Let’s talk about this in the office.

@aa boo hoo napoleon… get over it or quit coming to this site. Troll

The company has never cared about that. They’ll start major city hubs have commuter benefits with discounts. That’s their “care.”

Go talk to your coach. Those losers can help

@a5 lol, yeah right. Wasn’t a requirement before covid and isn’t now. It’s a misery tactic to drive attrition

Basic Job requirements.
