Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Not b--ching

I know that seems to be the order of the day on this forum, and people use it to vent their frustrations with the company. That's fine... to a degree, but we can also recognize when it does things well or right.

McElfresh's recent memo about re-figuring performance targets for 2020 due to covid is an example. It's the right thing to do, and they are doing it. Regardless of if some say "they would get sued if they didn't"... well they ARE doing it.

Also I recently had Directv installed at my home. The experience was nothing short of excellent. I know this is not what people come here to complain about but there's plenty of that to be found elsewhere. Still, it's the same story - the bad news sells, so it gets written about more.

I think a lot of the problems are a product of the times we live in. There is no way anyone could have predicted how something like covid would change the world, or for that matter the now-old story, the internet. We all do what we can with what we've got. Sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue.

So much for transparency, "about 80%". Can I tell my boss that I'm about 80% done without specifying what the goal was and what does it mean to be at 80%? Hell no.

BTW, loving the new culture push. We should tell customers that we provide about 80% services but they have to pay 100% of their bill.

@1byj, you're right, and it smells to high heaven. An end run play on our money, getting redirected to somewhere, not us the rightful owner. It's just one more thing that top leadership has done and is doing, that contributes in making this giant toilet bowl an even bigger toxic waste dump. We may need FEMA aid for a cleanup, but I suspect top leadership will steal that money too.

Wait.....you are okay with them establishing the bonus targets in the 8th month of the year, allowing them to look back and set them to what they wish as a way to control the payout.

Reconfigure the targets? To my knowledge they never shared the initial targets with us. Given the leaderships poor record of truth and transparency you trust this guy?

If memory serves me the targets are established early in the year. They have to be, that is how they establish progress each quarter after which they send a link to see how we did. I fail to understand how the pandemic had any impact on them sending the goals out. If done at the proper time they would have been sent out way before March when things started to go south.

Something just is not right with this bonus discussion.

“Leave AT&T and never look back. Best decision I ever made in life.”....read this exact sentence on here about a hundred times. If it’s the best why do you continually come back to post here (that sentence a hundred or so times)?

You’re on to bigger and better, right?

Spoken like a true tool in the clog that is AT&T. Your way of thinking makes me want to vomit in my own mouth. Leave AT&T and never look back. Best decision I ever made in life.

What do you expect people to really do here? Poking at the company is fun. If anyone comes to this ridiculous forum for anything important, then you are a genuinely sad case.
