Late to the dance - good one
T invested millions$$$ in several new call centers and now I wonder if they’ll be utilized to their fullest capacity? Otherwise, more money unnecessarily spent!
San Ramon is way too expensive a place to do business. There is no reason for any national function to be in the expensive areas like San Ramon, the Bay Area, Seattle, LA, NY, NJ, etc. Shut down all of the expensive locations. Hire people who are willing to work for a little bit less and have a much better quality of life in less expensive places.... TX, GA, NC, TN, etc. Screw doing any business in left wing liberal bastions.
good luck with that one now that covid has hit. lol as usual att you can't make this stuff up.
Late to dance with this move. Maybe should have let people work from before COVID.
@qpj- I heard it is the nicer, West wing up for sublease, which was renovated a few years ago. The North wing has a call center they would have to move.
We used to have the best real estate in the country. In New Jersey Middletown. In Atlanta, Lenox and several mid-town by subway trains state of the art facilities built by BellSouth. Hoffman Estate as a glorious shopping mall of a facility. San Ramon. And of-course Dallas. Outside Dallas because the Lords and Queens live there, they have destroyed our facilities or sold. Our company. Our culture. Stankey and Randall should be sued for negligence and costing shareholders a fortune and ruining employee and community lives and cultures. Even lack of action would have been better than them destroying DirecTV, HBO and Time Warner, and reducing the number 1 wireless carrier to position 3 after T-Mobile Fiasco. Shame on them. If there is a after life, they will have to answer for ruining so many lives.
To those who know SRV, I'm sure this is the North Wing, which even before C-19 was barely inhabited. I'm sure the West Wing's time is coming shortly.
The writing has been put on the wall... Business Model has changed.
Good old San Ramon. Remember the Pacific Bell campus there? Yeah. It was the one and same before aquistion 5.
Randall told all of us back in 2003 he was going to destroy the company by 2020 , thats when all the " keep yourselves relevant " BS was flowing out of him. So why didn't he off load that facility way back then ?
Just like T. A day late and a dollar short.
No one is looking for space at the moment and it may be some time before they do.
