I’m a rehire. Retired mgmt from BS in 06. Rehired as mgmt by AT&T in April 2014. I have a pension.

Ok downvoters, I'll elaborate. OP asked for LEGACY AT&T right? I was hired 2019 Legacy AT&T (AT&T CORP.). I'm a union nonexempt first-level craft technician title. I got a 401k and a pension called "BARGAINED CASH BALANCE #2 PROGRAM OF THE AT&T PBP" on Fidelity. Vests after 3 years. Not really sure how good or bad it is.

I can't speak for management.

We were the last group hired in mid of 2014 to get a pension. This is coming from a prem tech d9 west region.

Ameritech/SBC was around 2005 if I’m not mistaken. New mgmt hires from that point forward did not get a pension.

That comment about 45 elevating minorities comes from the slobbering mouth of a mAgA supporter. You are so ignorantly transparent Mr Re----k.

Again…what does cable news channels have to do with the question posted here!? Communism? Really!?!? You people are pugnacious bullies who probably couldn’t win a pie eating contest…waiting for any opportunity to lash out. You’re the ones getting kicked off flights because of your stupid behavior. This BS is just sickening.
I hope this board deletes ATT.

First, union or management? Next which company? Everyone has a different lineage so it varies based on that. Hello..

To: Post ID: @2mah+1eHPePNJ,
You're rant is just like something right out of MSNBC and CNN, a huge lie propagated to the masses hoping enough people will believe the lie as truth if said enough times on your entertainment news channels! Proof positive is that the Democratic party has said for 60 years that they're trying to help blacks in America when all they have done for election after election is made promises, but no action. Trump was the 1st president in decades to elevate the black and hispanic minorities in this country to a higher standard of livind and employment!

Definitely changed in the 2014/2015 time. Went from 5% pension and 4.8% 401K match to 0% pension and 6% match.

Managment: 2007 pension is a flat 3% and in 2015 no pension for new hires with 100% match on 6 % contributions to 401k.
Starting in 2022 legacy T pension reduced to match legacy SBC/BS Managment pensions

For the MIdwest states (formerly Smeritech) anyone hired post 1997 receives no pension or retirement benefits.

2021 is when leg T saw that the pension changed - they capped one of the three components that add to the annual pension, and added 1% to the 401K match. As for new management hires into post-merger SBC-T, I think it was a dead thing at that time, unless you could get bridged from leaving and coming back, but even that stopped around 2015(?), perhaps earlier.
