Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@g8 “Some letters to move were accepted and said 3 days in the new location, but the verbiage was never changed to 5 days.”

Job requirements set by at will employers can change at any time.,

True, but the stipulations in the letters that were used to determine whether you were going to move changed. They said, in writing, that the letters were binding and would be used to terminate if the requirements were not followed. That's why the letters became invalid the moment they moved the goalpost without allowing the employee to reconsider the changes before making their decision.

They couldn't make an offer of employment at one salary / benefit, then tell you that it changed after you were hired.

@dk no I won’t. Fully virtual here. Now get back to the truck, you cuck. I don’t care if it’s cold out there. I have a ticket you need to work for me.

It shouldn't have been an all or nothing policy. They should have gone to / kept a hybrid policy of 3 days in the office and used the PIP to police it. That being said, it's too late now, because they could be facing numerous lawsuits by the employees that had to choose surplus over a 5 day RTO. Some letters to move were accepted and said 3 days in the new location, but the verbiage was never changed to 5 days so they could be reviewed and accepted again. The "accepted" letters were void and gave employees precedence in a suit.

@dj Cry harder, crybaby.

Boo hoo hoo. I don't wanna work in the office! Don't make me get out of bed early and go to work!

Wahhhh.

Be an adult and get to work, chump.

@dg not going to happen. If you don’t like it maybe you should spend your time elsewhere. Why would you come here looking for RTO cheerleaders? So d-mb.

YAWN....

Stop beating this dead horse and kindly return to work.

You are being distracted. The purpose of RTO with no assigned seating is to create an environment so uncomfortable and toxic that you quit on your own terms. AT&T doesnt need talents here. They offer hybrid overseas, just check Workday on jobs posted for Europe, all hybrid, because thats where talents are needed. Not in the US. Here, you are seen as an expensive commodity.

@by I don’t think I will. I’ll NEVER stop complaining about RTO until it changes. If you don’t like it feel free to find another website. You think people come here to celebrate RTO? You’re a buffoon.

@bh I’m sure these people were fantastic producers in the office, never doing a bit performative productivity. Please.

@bh

AT&T discontinued any type of performance management? Just too difficult for the bloated sacks that should handle those functions?

@bh I still do this. Swipe in at HQ at 5AM. Take my back corner cubicle and connect to LAN and clear inbox. Back out for breakfast and to drop the kiddos at school. Back in the office around 8:45. Work until 1PM, and day is over. 8hr on presence report, so work is done… 8 & skate, every single day. Then I head over to Dallas National for my 1:30 Tee Time.

@bh and all those people are gone now, so now what? We still do this for all the bad actors who aren’t here anymore?

Most have to RTO because many workers took advantage of being home all day and canceled daycare and joined country clubs with morning and afternoon tee times. Work was not getting done and colleagues became strangers. Not good for collaboration and winning and now commuters are still whining.

@b6 RTO gutted the company and all the talent left for flexibility. The company is circling the drain because of RTO

@b6 that’s patently false. If you knew anything you would know the real money is at the end user’s residence. Have you listened to an earnings call?

@ap imagine thinking you need to RTO to “actually work” in 2026… I didn’t need to RTO to actually work in 2006 or 2016, so what’s changed? I think it’s time for you to retire and make room for the people who know how to “actually work” without needing an adult babysitter staring at them all day.

"Remember our purpose is to connect people with internet"...And by far the most profitable services are the ones needed for large offices. RTO is saving AT&T.

@ap You never seem to be working. Now hop to it!

RTO and actually work.

could you please stop whining about rto!!!!!

Remember our purpose is to connect people with internet and wireless and services that we have so little faith in that we will spend billions to build a white elephant campus for the sole purpose of st-----g our CEO’s ego.

RTO is the industry standard…according to brainless id--ts whose spouses wouldn’t mind if they get T-boned during the morning commute

But but but will someone think of the collaboration?! How can we possibly function without the ability to send emails, sit on Teams calls and send Teams messages from a Big D-mb Box? Who will breathe in the fumes from our F150s and Expeditions from our commutes so that we can do things that can be done anywhere?

Again, will someone PLEASE think of the collaboration?!
