I've been here long enough to remember the old days. When someone with real knowledge gave notice, management would scramble, make a counteroffer, promise to make necessary changes. They'd do whatever it took to keep them.
That doesn't happen anymore. I can't recall the last time someone stayed because they got a better deal from us. People give notice and management just says okay, good luck. That's not smart at all, in my opinion. It'll cost us in the end.
This company is no longer a destination for anyone with any real skills. Everyone is running for the exit unless they’re looking to hang on for retirement within 5 years. This is a terrible way to run a company and will cost them in the end. Thanks to stink and 5 day RTO the company is circling the drain

This thread title made me laugh. Was it written by a top performer? LOL
They ONLY care about executive bonuses and shareholders— they DO NOT give a D@MN about the employees or the customers.

They
Don’t
Care
Unlike you, with your cutting-edge bootlick skills?
The true experts who are being let go are being brought back as contractors. While this is the exception and not the rule, it is happening when the Company realizes they let the 1 person who knew something go and there is still a need for that skill.
It begs the question why that person was let go in the first place? Yes, there are folks let go because of politics all too often in favor of a card carrying chapstick champion.
They don’t care. Back then we actually did stuff, built things, monitored and improved; now we just keep the lights on and nobody cares.
“When someone with real knowledge gave notice, management would scramble, make a counteroffer, promise to make necessary changes.”
Nobody with real talent has been working at AT&T for over a decade now. There is no need to try to retain skills no longer relevant or needed.
Leaving with outdated knowledge.
dont need them anymore. AI will take their places of just filling out blank spaces.
We not only let them walk but give them a severance to leave.
