Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Moose is mandatory for us along with the Outlook calendar invites. The expectation is that it’s all aligned, along with the coding in Infor.

This has been stressed more recently, so I expect there must be some reason for it.

Gotta wonder how are getting paid 6 figures to manage all the presence reporting sites? Is the ROI equivalent to the spend on AI?

My org doesn’t use Moose much. They’ve decided to misuse outlook and send a meeting invite to 30+ people every time someone has a 2 hour dentist appt. It’s insanity - 5-10 of these “meeting invites” a day.

My AD doesnt even know the MOOSE

as long as the knuckle and the moose don't collide. We don't want a moose knuckle

Sorry folks, park’s closed. The moose out front should have told you.

Who cares. You get exactly 8 hours out of me for five days a week. I'll do whatever you want in that timeframe. If you fill it up with all admin type stuff then you get no actual work. Whatever you want.

ADA Confidentiality: Employers must treat any health information, including that voluntarily disclosed, as confidential medical records.

Public Disclosure: Publicly listing specific procedure details on a team calendar, rather than just "sick leave," violates medical privacy standards.

AT&T Policy: The AT&T Code of Business Conduct explicitly states they will "protect the personal information of our employees... in strict confidence and compliance with the Code, our policies, and any legal or regulatory requirements".

Reporting Misconduct: Employees concerned about this practice should report it to their manager or through company reporting channels, according to the AT&T Code of Business Conduct.

@hz - where did the director say it? If it is in writing, an ethics complaint should be filed and a complaint with the EEOC. And heck - probably a COBC complaint. And then a lawsuit.

@hz yeah...they are crossing a line asking detailed medical information and treatment specifics like facility names. None of their damn business thank you...

No they’re not. Fake news.

@hz , BS! They can’t be asking your personal medical details.

Our Director said we had to code medical appointments as illness and annotate the name of the facility and the medical reason. I don't believe AT&T is aware of how ignorant some of their designated "leaders" are.

It’s called “leadership” making up the rules as they go.

“Market based culture”

Hey rocky watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat

I haven't used MOOSE in years. It would be interesting to find the paragraph in the COBC that dictates the proper usage of MOOSE.

Who is "they"?

This sounds like a specific group with a specific manager making stuff up to make underlings comply. Just like the managers who tell their employees that HR sets headcount so they don't take any blame for reductions.

Some orgs don't use MOOSE at all...

Smells like a lawsuit

So you mean my boss will get fired if I don’t update MOOSE?.. sweet!

@OP bro, lay the pipe down.

Moose isn’t going to save anybody. There are people who never update their status and they’re also never in the office. They are besties with the right people so they get by with it.

Bullwinkle J. Moose is the official name.

My favorite dessert is a chocolate MOUSE

A møøse once bit my sister.

There is Moose and Squirrel, Boris and Natasha. Everyone knows that.

What is moose?

Right place.
Right time.
Core hours.

Heed to succeed.

MOOSE takes 2 minutes to update. This is not a big deal.

The beatings will continue until morale improves…or we fire enough of you all… -JS
