Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@wv but 3 or 4 hundred or thousand will. And when the World Cup (major super spreader event) happens here in the USA it will spread and RTO will end. You union bootlickers will cry and cope and seethe while I go back to working from the couch and you still have to drive to the garage and harness up. Boo hoo hoo… get over it or quit.

The morning starts with a plastic click,
A badge on a lanyard, smooth and slick.
The coffee can wait, the emails can gripe,
Nothing begins till the badge gets swiped.

Was looking for the hantavirus to pickup for WFH.

Most important goals in 2026.

1. RTO 5x8.
   2.Complete mandatory EH&S training.

If you don't do either of those, you get an automatic demerit or let go. Any other goal on your A&D you can miss. No biggie.

Badge swipes is life

@ed you mean the guy who’s net worth is more than this whole company’s annual net profit?

Kevin O’Leary? You mean that canadian guy who wears a goofy hat and pink flip flops? What kind of a d-mb person would listen to him?

@bb , if complaints against “RTO” offend you, then your t0ngue spends excessive “time” on boots…& tossing salads.

"That’s on you and you really need to consider moving on."

Not really. I did not tell the vendors I support to open offices in California. I did not tell my boss to hire employees in Bratislava.

Have no fear, Ebola is here

@bc Get back in the bucket and clear those pairs, Jimbo. Managers are talking and it has f all to do with you.

“If you’re complaining about RTO, you really aren't going to work at home.”

#fact

If your complaining about RTO, you really aren't going to work at home.

@aj We have all met the people who "moved up the ladder" by now. None of us are impressed or have any desire to follow in those psychopaths' footsteps. They won a game no one else would even want to play.

My execute and deliver results aren't very good. I will take badge swipes.

Who cares what some Canadian thinks?

I’m frustrated because my sister only has a 2yr business degree from the local community college, yet has better health insurance and a private office as an admin assistant. I went to a big engineering school and sit at a table being keystroke monitored. 😡

@az then your option is to STFU and get to the office.

“There is no “collaboration” in the office.”

That’s on you and you really need to consider moving on.

@a4 Get another job in this job market? I assume you also want me to find gas for less than $5.50/gallon.

@aj not everyone wants to “move up the ladder”. Some of us just want to do our job without office distractions, musical desks, and long & expensive commutes. There is no “collaboration” in the office.

Keep telling yourself that, then look at who moved up the ladder. What did their results look like? I’ll wait.

@a8 , you lie like a rug.

I am going to quit and apply for a job at with Kevin O’Leary.

@a8 Can you really look at yourself in the mirror and say things this vacuous with a straight face? Or is this just Copilot posting?

Badge swipes lead to better results based on the legacy telecommuting culture. So for now, both are important and needed.

Things good executives say about how to run a business have no relevance to AT&T. We don't have those.

You whine about RTO everyday
And yet you stay

@a3

Isn't that nice? We volunteer the travel time and expense and AT&T reaps all the benefit. Of course, distributing expenses and benefits isn't even a minor consideration for those who already wallow in excess.

RTO?
Get over it.....OR.......Get another Job.
Easy Peazy.

Well don’t expect RTO to change, at least for those based at HQ.

To obtain the subsidies from Plano the city will require at least 10,000 full time employees to be in the office.
