“I AT&T is looking at office space in the suburbs, two people with knowledge of the situation have told The Dallas Morning News, even as its CEO remained silent Friday regarding speculation about the Dallas-based telecommunications company reducing its downtown presence.
A move by AT&T could see its more than 2 million-square-foot presence in downtown Dallas shrink in some fashion. AT&T had nearly 6,000 workers assigned to its downtown Dallas offices in 2022.”

CSO execs will just move back to the invented for them Charlotte "hub"
John Stankey lives in Bluffview, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in DFW, just 15 min out from the downtown office. There is no way he is going to give that up for a commute up north through middle class suburbia.
2 things that su-k the worst in Dallas ? Traffic and the Cowboys 😝
The former GTE/Verizon Hidden Ridge campus at Las Colinas would be a great place for the suburban AT&T Headquarters.

Move into the recently remodeled cr--ker barrels
It would su-k if you forced people to move and they buy a home based on their commute, and then you move the office 20 miles away in the opposite direction. Never move for work.

Just a method to force quits and retirements in Dallas by making half the employee base commutes too long to manage
The deal att got with the city of Dallas was too favorable for att, economically.
Some high level VPs might be graced with moving to a safer and closer to their homes area, in north Dallas. Nice for the privileged.
However downtown will remain for us.
I would bet they are going to segregate the lords and ladies of the C-suite from the peasants because they are starting to get the idea that being in the same building with people who hate you is unsafe. I can't imagine where they would get that idea.

Probably for the exec’s and c suite, the rest of us will have to continue to report downtown.
