R&D is safe and solid as a rock. We are actually hiring, software engineers and software architects. Wire technicians need not apply.
Same situation in district 7 with techs and work!
India jobs are safe, and they need to hire many more there to replace many usa jobs. They can hire 4 or 5 in india for 1 in usa, so att exec's are chowing down on the curry and tandoori all they can.
Specials Techs and ABFS Techs are safe in District 6. And very little work. Go figure.
More jobs are safe since SG&A expenses are down
Security OPs. Crooks everywhere.
Re-iterating that R&D is safe.
I heard from a reliable source that ATT is still hiring techs in AZ. He said techs are sitting around with nothing to do because there isn’t enough work, yet they’re still hiring! No wonder why this company is in such bad shape, a communications company where nobody knows how to communicate! Upper management is clueless about what’s happening in various parts of the country. UNBELIEVABLE!
I agree with the mobility sentiment. Tech on the wireless side of the house. If I was still there, I'd be taking the appropriate tests to qualify, so if and when an opening appeared I could submit on it.
Service techs. They are forced unlimited overtime every week. Some already In 6 figures half way through the year. If they layoff the ones left won’t get to go home. Lol
The closer you are to the cash drawer the safer you are has been my rule of thumb for about the last decade and I haven't been proven wrong yet.
Executive Comp isn't going anywhere
Social Services Technician
sr sourcing engineers at the data center in Hoover Alabama and anyone in finance in Birmingham/Hoover working from home is safe.
Yes, level 4 and up. The flattening of layers never took place and if it were to happen upper management wants it at the lower levels.
Social Engineers are safer than most
None, not even the janitor is safe. Only those in Dallas.
Most states are “Employment at Will” states, and not aware of any position with an employment contract. Opportunity is the only thing to count on.
Underneath a second level’s desk is considered a safe position.
Can't believe you used the words 'safe' and 'AT&T' in the same sentence.
nah.
Outside facility plant reclamation/dismantle Technician
Aside from Ratty, Stinky and the m0r0ns Board of Misdirectors, and the Compliance Diversity Officer are the only ones safe.
No job has ever been “safe”
But, mobility is probably the safest, you just never hear anything on this board since it’s 99.9% wireline topics.
And I understand that even redundant positions in mobility aren’t totally safe. But, this side is at least keeping this company afloat.
A quote from Stank himself:
"No place is safe"
CEO, top leadership, and all contractors that are outsourced from overseas, they're safe, everything else, is a nope burger.
nope
CEO and board of directors is pretty secure
IHX is safe. Only channel making money
Any position in HBO max is safe. With a paying customer base of almost 1000 people, Stank claims it is a success!
You all are fooling yourselves if you think ANY job is safe at AT&T.
R&D jobs are safe in India
CEO, CFO, Chairman of the Board
R&D. No impact.
Yes, was informed by the union that 6 newly hired Network Technical Specialists recently started in Mesa, AZ. So, apparently there are some safe job titles out there.
Yes, it seems as though technicians doing or assigned to do ABFS installations are safe all over the country especially in the SW area. Not one mention of layoffs and they’re still hiring NTS technicians in AZ from what I’m hearing from a reliable source!
None
No
