RTO is not the industry standard

Where's "RTO is industry standard" guy? Probably carpooling with the "see you on the commute" guy. I'm sure that's a great conversation between the two.

Should we keep touting how much we make data-informed decisions around here? 8 and skate brah.

More US employees worked from home in 2025 than the year prior, a small but notable shift that suggests companies’ years-long efforts to get workers back into the office have hit a wall.

Last year, 34.9% — or 32.5 million — of full-time workers did at least part of their job at home on the average day, according to the latest American Time Use Survey published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Thursday. That’s up from 33.4% in 2024.

CEOs across industries have demanded employees return to the office, trying to reverse a shift toward remote work that picked up during the Covid-19 pandemic. But the BLS data released today add to growing evidence that the pandemic-era paradigm shift is here to stay; the share of workers who work at home at least some of their day remains more than 10 percentage points higher than in 2019.

If he would just reinstate pre-Medicare health insurance, there would be a stampede of folks 55-64 headed for the door. But no, he’s sacrificing 40-50yr olds with kids. Never admits mistakes; always doubles down.

Stank needs to get rid of so many more people he will not let up on this. He is desperately trying to get the employee number so low that Wall Street maybe ups the stock price before he leaves. His ego and pride and frantic to not have him leave when stock price still in tanking. Therefore the last thing he would ever do is make improvements for employees. He’s been on tv talking about recruiting programs for the young employees coming in. He was cheap cheap cheap and also plans to protect his multi million dollar directs until he (Stank) finally leaves.

He needs to be pushed out and called out for how he’s led this company to destruction and all the while kept receiving $20+M in comp.

Some outlet needs to tell the story. The next closest disaster to Enron.

Boo hoo…Get over it already or quit.

Then why havarn’t you sought employment with a company that offers WFH? Don’t we already know the answer?

Going to beat the dead horse some more. Idk of anyone at any other company doing 5x in the office. Not a single company. We are one of the few still doing that. The few that said 5x initially have all rolled it back to hybrid.

Leadership has heard complaints anvout RTO and is very serious about making inprovements. On 7/2, AT&T has committed to a guarantee of providing more parking spaces to ensure it will be easier to access all corporate offices. #YouMatter

ATT couldn’t even manage RTO without damaging the company further. The SBC cancer is terminal!

Enough already. You're preaching to the choir and beating a dead horse simultaneously.

The company has decided to return to an in-office model. You are welcome to seek employment elsewhere, or join craft who works in the field; you don't ever have to go into the office then.

Gee mommy, the other guys get to WFH What about me? It's just not fair.
I am going to hold my breath until I get to WFH!!!

But it’s the AT&T standard, so we’ll see you on the commute!
