Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

What is the right number for staffing at T?

Assuming T has 213K active employees, what is the optimal number of employees needed to run T? I'm thinking 140K would be about right. What is your estimate?

probably around 90 to 100 thousand.

but if they did that who would work the strikes when the union goes out.

they need 230 as a bargaining chip with the union when they strike so they can work as scabs.

Too many mouths to feed. No one is safe. Quotes courtesy of Stankey.

OP: ‘management jobs are part time’….Actually management who are unfortunate to have direct reports are FT babysitting positions. Managing most hourly groups is like supervising a bunch of middle schoolers…constant complaining, whining, can’t or won’t resolve the simplest mandatory tasks without supervisory intervention.

I would say 130K max.

I can envision Stankey in his first class CEO office, sharpening his axe, with a smirk on his face.

140k sounds right.

If the Stink could, he would get rid of every single US based employee, and replace everyone in India and rebrand ATT as ITT - India Telephone & Telegraph.

How’d you come up with that number, Sherlock? Data? Surveys? Studies? Research?
No?!?

Most management jobs are part-time positions with full-time hours. 100K would be about right.
