Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

So long spot awards

Don't count on getting the McD*nald's dinner meal sized award anymore. I know they weren't worth much yet another thing going away.

Legg has eliminated that with some new team award that will require a "2-3 minute video" made by a 3rd level or higher describing why a TEAM deserves recognition. This new award seems to be the team equivalent of what used to be the individual team award. Some higher up body will go through the videos each quarter to decide which is the best.

Can anyone actually see a 3rd level going through that kind of effort for anything? And there are requirements for what is considered important so even if you do the jobs of everyone they eliminated, if it's not the right kind of job, you can't even be nominated.

In a normal world, performance rewards should be given out for that... great performance on the job. The performance should speak for itself; not require self promotion activities like creating a video, for goodness sake! I can't imagine wasting time on this kind of thing. Time that could be spent actually doing something valuable for the company and customers. Not an L3, and it is not my goal to become one. I prefer to invest in meaningful, technical skills, not in putting effort into this kind of theatrical garbage.

Management is a joke. Workers are a joke. AT&T is doomed.

What was supposed to be rewarding employees for their contributions, it is twisted into supporting lazy executives who don't bother to read. Why not just turn this into American Idol and let people text in votes.

Teams with members wearing matching PJs in the background of the videos win!
