First ATT has the left over timewarner so called leaders that made a bad decision got stock , bonuses and millions. Second many in power have less than I say 8 years but more like 5 years with ATT. Third they broke the foundation that made ATT work meaning the New bee executives to the point that Innovation is now creeping along because the hours from managers are now focused on 8hrs only. Fourth the BIG mistake was instead of hurting the company which they are doing likely listening to a consultant company on RTO( same as our executives going to a psychiatrist) follow their advise. Fifth MAKES sense newly hired 5 days and in a hub. Existing managers remain as they were especially if status has been for 20 years. Sixth and final do Hybrid 3 days office, 5 days remain for marketing and sales. Those at ATT handle break and fix and part of the guarantee flow a few days a month office……I think spot on, oh by the way just fire the ones everyone knows that have nothing to do and don’t use color, ethnic, or male/female/ confused as an excuse

"Any managers consistently doing the bare minimum 40 hours of productivity should be ranked at the bottom of their peer group."
Why?
Are we supposed to give our extra time to a company that doesn't believe in loyalty, but asks for "commitment" without offering any back?
This is the same company that walked away from the extra hours that a lot of employees gave when working from home. I am now wasting 3 hours a day to be in the office. The company used to get at least half that daily, plus some evenings and weekends when we were trying to get a project done. I'm not giving that kind of extra time to Mr. "Loyalty is Dead".
If you want to give extra, you're a mo--n, but that's your choice and good for you. Just because you devalue yourself (you know every extra hour you work lowers your effective hourly rate) doesn't mean the rest of us need to.
At the same time, I'm not saying that you show up, twiddle your thumbs for 8 hours and leave. I know there are employees that do that whether they are working from home or working in the office. That's a management (or lack of it) problem. There are many working their 8 hours that earn their paycheck. They just don't give AT&T free labor anymore.
It's simple. They'll do fine with cheap kids and Indians and CoPilot making new stuff. They'll do a bit less fine handing over to yet another vampire partner in the cloud business. What they won't do fine with is keeping all the important stuff going (and secure) that they have spent 20 years not funding maintenance and upgrades on. There are probably a few million security exceptions for stuff that can't be fixed without unaffordable upgrades, which their own CSO says aren't valid exceptions because no exceptions are valid. Baich came and literally knit new petards for him to be hoisted by.
Oh no. I saw the world "debt" and just wet my pants.
@b9 he’s had 5 years as CEO and before that he was a partner in crime with Randy. Under their leadership incurred a ridiculous amount of debt!! We still show about 140B in debt ! We are not winning but FLAT
@aa not sure which level you are referring to but 1st lines work 8 and skate!😂
@eg - you are a simpleton.
AT&T the beast paying a lot of salaries and lots of benefits. Too many lazy workers that just don't want to work but get paid. Hard day of work in the past.
@OP
Say what now???
“ We make communication go”
…down the drain.
We make communication go.
Innovation at T? Morning over 40 years.
You make solid points, but I am going to assume this is more readable in your native language.
I could barely read this. Next time ask AI to rewrite it for you.
Stankey will make AT&T great again.
@OP - holy god man!!
@az It was and?
This post sounds like it was written by a challenged 4th grader.
Managers are not paid overtime. That’s what distinguishes Mgmt from Non: salaried vs hourly. Man some of the folks who post here are d-mb.
Many managers have no direct reports and must be paid overtime for hours over 40.
I wonder if the AT&T board will look at the recovery TW has made since Stank was removed from leadership of that organization.
“because the hours from managers are now focused on 8hrs only”
Any managers consistently doing the bare minimum 40 hours of productivity should be ranked at the bottom of their peer group.
Why does this all of it make sense lol
