Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

He/She is probably a union employee with seniority and a job offer guarantee as part of his/her labor contract that basically believes the company has an obligation to keep them around simply because they are human and breathe air and want a job. Their is no reasoning with illogical union folks. Just sit back and shake your head at the ignorance and entitlement.

What drivel is this from an uneducated imbecile. Is life stressful in the basement Buttercup?

I think the "hamburger" (copper network) can't be jettisoned because of government regulations. I think if there was no government regulation, the "hamburger" would be discontinued immediately.

There isn't going to be any long term survival of this corporation.
It's all about fornicating the pooch and lining pockets for as long as possible.
There isn't going to be a magical regime change that can resurrect the dead.

"I get the sense OP thinks he will not be cut for some reason and he is untouchable. Now why would that be?"

because he is family. wonder how many other relatives he has working at the company.

Haven’t heard of any Mobility layoffs.

more nepotism - good job

Re-engineering, re-organization, reduction can all make good sense – but not when in the aftermath incompetent leadership who ruined a national-treasure company is amongst those left standing (e.g., Arroyo, Fuestch) or those jumping off the mothership with golden parachutes (e.g., Donovan, Stephenson).

Layoffs are because you are no longer needed by the company. It is difficult to accept but it is reality.

Sounds like someone is whistling thru the cemetery.

In a tangible, hamburger-based world, the OP's question makes sense. But AT&T's "products" of connectivity are really varying configurations of software on top of a foundation of the same hardware.

In AT&T's case, the company can sell patty-shaped ground-up hot dog meat and serve the hamburger-loving customer just fine (sorry for the analogy stretched thin). But they don't have to come up with pricing, promotions, product managers, contract specialists, and entire bureaucracies to support the the sale of both hamburgers and hot dogs. That's where the "savings" lies.

As another poster pointed out, the foundation of hardware and software still needs to be installed, maintained, and enhanced to support these configurations. But AT&T, in its short-sighted dumpster fire of senior management, is simply cutting the entire company 30%. Another poster pointed out that it's not actually targeting jobs that support the 'losing' products.

The OP would be correct if it weren't for the fact that the deathstar is not focusing only only trimming in areas where demand is dipping. Unfortunately, at&t is cutting jobs everywhere, regardless of title, group, project, duty, or product.

People in mobility, where demand remains high? Laid off. People in video & broadband where growth is still happening? Laid off. And so on.

Don't be fooled. If this round of layoffs were only due to irrelevant tech it would be small. This layoff is because Randy and Stinky and the rest mismanaged and overspent, failed to read the customer demand, rushed shoddy products, and are out of touch. Oh, that and those vultures from Elliot want a higher dividend,

very clever Stinki, please limit yourself to bankrupt the company and do not post here.

if OP is a wannabe a reasonable assumption, here is a free lesson; Rather than improve, Stinki& the corporate double-talk designed to obfuscate and confuse. Worse, it can make everyone feel unempowered.
when Leadership don’t understand what’s being said, it can make you feel like an outsider, or like you’re uninformed, but on reality they are as lost as we are.

your welcome!

Liar. We aren't eliminating unnecessary positions, we are terminating middle class American jobs with benefits and sending them to cheap third world sweatshops.

All the socially woke emails in the world isn't going to cover for the American careers this company has ruined to satisfy the greed of our executives.

may be is the same t–d, shaped with stank face.
