Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

D O N E

Called my boss today and said, I’m done! Too young and not enough time with T to “retire” , but I’m leaving the workforce. My financial advisor said I can do it, so, I’m doing it. Can’t take all the process cr-p, to a of training, all the tracking of what town hall you called in for, if you did you survey, Quantum disaster! I’m 61, hopefully have a lot of years left, going for it! 💃

I met mr-75 and left at 60 with a 6 mos. severance offer in 2019. Took the lump sum, rolled my 401 into a private investment acct. I couldn't be happier. No alarm clock, no calendar, no schedule, no weaselly boss tracking my every move, all while thinking he is smarter than me. Good luck and enjoy your retirement.

Got out 4 yrs ago at 57.
Lump sum.
Should have done it at 48 when I had 30 in.
A terrible place to work.
Now living the dream.
Get out of debt and go.

So glad I retired, can't stand leadership lies. What a pathetic bunch of aholes. I can see T collapsing which I would have never thought possible until now. Thanks Stephenson, Stankey, Donovan, and Stevens, may you all rot in h*ll.

Congrats!

Are you me? I'm also 61, and quit about a month ago. Same as you, not enough time to retire but my FA told me to go for it.

When I saw Quantum I just about barfed. Thankfully only dealt with it once and then byeeee.

My mo--n ex-boss would ask me every time, every single time, whether I attended those stupid calls. He then thought he was being clever by 'testing' me on the material.

Surveys - I wrote on my last one that all they do is provide lip service. No change actually happens.

I also believe they can and sometimes do track your COU if you have one. I had way too many comments on my whereabouts to be considered random.

May I ask - what are you doing about healthcare? My wife is still working but not for long, so that is a bit of a concern. We are looking at ACA of course.

Stinky appreciates that his strategy is working so well.

Remember from the LWD from years ago, where it was clearly stated that T executives had a great concern about the unemployment problem... in INDIA!!! Thank you for the job opening to address that issue.

Run them out of $ best you can.

You've talked me into it! Give me your financial adviser please. I was waiting for a dismissal , I've figured out they're not going to let anyone go with a large pension . I'm 57 with 33 years , I've been ready to go, I've been done for a long time, LOL
