"ATT is a great company but some leaders?"
A company is a reflection of its "leaders". AT&T is far from great. Every real poll over the last 2 years confirms that. (875/900 of top companies:Forbes|499/600 top cultures:Forbes|375/500 prepared for the future:WSJ)
When all the leaders get told 10% cut across the board and others are told even higher like 20% it does not matter how good your organization is doing.
You were either the last one in, rated by your manager lower than others, your manager liked other people better, or you have been missing your quota if you are in sales.
sorry this happened to you. We lost a lot of good people and will lose more as the other orgs trim to meet the headcount numbers.
Next round of layoffs for not moving to Dallas are in September I believe.
The company is sicko.
You think Anne would protect you from lay offs? Delusional.
