Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Good or bad idea?

If you are interested in leaving, but only in the case of layoff, tell your supervisor. Not a guarantee that you will be picked, but most really do not want to have to let people go. Offering yourself up makes it a lot easier in them.
But be advised, once you tell them, you can’t really take it back.

Post ID @zkf+1iWZhtam. I know two people who regretted telling their supervisor that they would like to be a target. They did it thinking that they have a good relationship with him. That's why I don't think it's a good idea. Perhaps someone has a different opinion?

In an ideal environment, you and your employer can have a frank discussion about your career choices. T has zero transparency and toxic management processes, just don't do it. It isn't going to end well.

Don’t do it!! You will get bad reviews and harassment to minimize your severance. Also, I’d you’re fired for cause there is no severance!!!

They’ll get rid of the others and keep you. The goal is to make your life really miserable.

Bad idea, why make it easy on them? Do not tell your supervisor anything, It will come back to haunt you. Why end up with buyers remorse?
