Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

What to do if boss puts meeting invite on 6/17?

What does everyone recommend we do if our boss puts a meeting invite on 6/17? Does that mean we are toast? Has anyone considered taking PTO or blocking off their calendar day on 6/17 with more important meetings? I am just going to say that our application has an urgent security concern that needs to be addressed or it risks being shutdown. It is a joke how this is being handled at our company.

Hide under your blanket all you want. The thunderstorm is still outside.

If you’re on the surplus list, you’re on the list. They’ll just make time to catch you some time. If you go on leave for medical, they’ll wait until you come back. PTO? When you come back. Funeral leave? When you get back.

Get to the call 7 minutes early to ensure you get that severance and get out of this toxic environment! "Video content to the phone is the future." -Randall

Based on this post, you need to be added to the surplus list if not currently on it.

Sure, if you are unavailable they will just remove you from the layoff list. Excellent plan.

Be thankful you’ve had 4 years of continued employment after the corporate RTO announcement was made.

You will be called even if on PTO. If you don’t answer you will be notified as soon as you answer or return to work. This is not something you can dodge. Praying for everyone as I hear this is a large impacted group across many teams and organizations.

If on PTO they simply move on to the next person on the list and lay them off instead of you. Best to take PTO and keep yourself safe.

Do the math. Pay periods are the 7th and the 22nd of every month. Subtract 2 weeks. That puts you somewhere around the 9th or 24th.
If you get a meeting on those dates, you can assume it's two weeks' notice. Getting a meeting on the 17th, that's just a meeting on the 17th.

LOL.

This one kind of trumps the others, no?

Best to join the call and get info first hand, taking the day off or skipping the call isn’t going to change anything
