AT&T tracked employee attendance to find 'freeloaders.'

AT&T is dialing down its use of a controversial attendance tracking system for enforcing its RTO policy.

The so-called presence report uses a combination of inputs to log employees' time in the office.

The company's CMO says its goal of finding "freeloaders" has been met, though trust issues remain.

AT&T is reducing its reliance on an employee-attendance tracking system, admitting to workers that it hasn't been fully accurate and is "driving people to the brink of frustration."

The system, known internally as presence reporting, automatically tracks the hours workers spend at their assigned office. Most are required to log at least eight hours a day, five days a week, on-site.

They didn’t dial back anything. It got spotlighted so back to the shadows for the focus on time in office.

Is there a hotline or email group to report freeloaders? There are quite a few in my department,

Wouldn’t it be ‘goldbrickers’ they were (ostensibly) seeking to oust? The true “freeloaders” are on Cr@pitol sHill….& in our C suite.

“which top executive pushed for it & when will they be let go finally when will the RTO tracking finally be put to an end?”

RTO is not an AT&T program. It is becoming an industry standard.

I dont follow and i dont care as long as i am doing my job responsibilities. If they let me go its a BIG THANK YOU!

Rot in he-l T.

Translation: we got the low hanging fruit, now the presence report isn’t producing enough RTO and time in office violations for us to eliminate folks. We have to switch to a new tactic to get people to quit or start mass layoffs to hit our 70-90k headcount target.

The sweatshop mentality is outdated.

The CEO and the board needs to be help accountable for this debacle. Customers already hate our company, now so do all the employees

Yeah, right. It's never enough.

what are the consequences of eliminating this level of distrust with employees? which top executive pushed for it & when will they be let go finally when will the RTO tracking finally be put to an end?
