Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Take the How Connect Culture Survey

Do it, and let them know what you think of the layoffs, two month to two week layoff delay, stolen vacation days, retiree medical sc––w job, pension changes, etc.
Would I want friends or family to come work here, with the arrogant and abusive way that AT&T has treated their long term employees? No chance!

If you really want to aggravate them, just ignore the survey. For whatever reason, no response is worse than a bad response. Just delete the email and forget about it.

"Yeah right, take the survey and then had my 6th level Q me!

Anonymous – not!

I was the last person she had in my location so it was easy for her to figure out. She wanted to know why I was so disgusted with T. They are so f'ing oblivious."

Phew! But didn’t they tell you in 2014–15 to expect reductions in headcount — somewhere around 40%? Were you listening? Where is it written that the company, or any company for that matter, will never make changes to employee benefits? You’re mistaken if you believe that. Other than a paycheck for the work you perform, the company owes you Jack. You have options...you know what they are. Quit the victim role. It speaks to a level of immaturity and a sense of entitlement (unwarranted).

Yes I would recommend my friends and family yo work for AT&T. The only people who have issues seem to be bitter old entitled folks.

I think silence speaks in these surveys. They love large turn out percentage. If a large percentage of folks just refused to take these worthless survey, maybe it would send the message that the emperor has no clothes.

A survey with multiple choice in mind means two things. 1. We don't care what you think or your opinion 2. We only care about metrics, if you provide a bad metric, justify it with text

The surveys are BS, it's just a pretext under which to target "complainers". Give them all A+++ or ignore them, they don't want the truth.

I saw the email but have not done it yet. Is this the same 3 or 4 questions they have been asking almost every quarter for the last 5 or more years. They have been badgering us with the exact same questions every quarter for years. My theory is they will keep asking until they get the answers they want. Some id––t somewhere thinks that if they keep asking the same questions without making any changes that they will eventually get the answers they want, crazy lunatics........... and what is MOST IMPORTANT .................. THESE SURVEYS ARE NOT AT ALL ANONYMOUS !!!!!!!!!!! ..................................

I always take it and give my honest feedback. Sometimes that is pretty scathing, but always professional. I don’t care of no one reads it. I don’t care if it’s is read and traced back to me. I don’t care if you think it doesn’t matter. It probably doesn’t. I don’t care, I do it anyway.

Trial by media and mob.

That’s nothing to celebrate.

I took it and told them them the truth even before I read this. You can feed them the cr*p you think they want to hear but what makes you think that will make your job any safer than if you tell the truth? How good did that approach work out with everything they've thrown at us over the years? Did the layoffs actually stop? Did your job get any better?

Personally I'd rather give them a piece of my mind whether it makes a difference or not.

Corporate goal is to remove toxic culture. Keep you head down and pay checks coming. A key is work slowdown and missed deliverables. If you keep working an extra 10–20 hours, the pressure will continue until you are exhausted.

either give everything five stars across the board or don't take it at all.

There is zero worth in not telling them what they want to hear, zero. My group had morale problems reflected in our surveys for years, instead of trying to manage the issues, they just rebadged the section they thought was the problem. Those of us left behind got the message.

Tell them what they want to hear, these things come back to haunt you in ways you did not expect later.

Nobody stole anything from you or screwed you. Anger has blinded you. Take couple of chill pills.

You really think they care?
This is a ploy they've done since the late 90's to see what else they can take away.
Listen...
You are nothing to them. The buzzing of flies. An expense.
Should you get hit by a bus they'd shed no tears.
STOP CARING!
They want you to "feel good....valued, worthy, important."
You are none of those. Never have been, and never will be.
Anything you complain about they will realize they've done well.
Anything you don't complain about they will work on so you do.
Again, ad naseum, T doesn't give a pinch of chit what you like or don't.
One by one you folks will understand that.
Smile, wave.
Get paid.
