Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

The top criteria for a virtual location assignment will be who you know and then who you are.

Skill set, past performance, or importance of job function will have nothing to do with the decision.

Virtual location selection will be a function of friends & family - and maybe race & gender. Think college admissions process.

You just wait.

I told my boss I transitioned into a female during covid and I plan to stuff my fat bu-t into a mini skirt every day if I am forced in; so it may behoove him to let me stay virtual to avoid the multiple harassment lawsuits I will be filing. Whatever it takes.

“I know of at least one manager already playing games to accommodate one of his favorites to be virtual and the person lives well within 50 miles of attached office/hub.”

Name names. That is how these games end.

My group was told you need a medical concession to stay virtual. I wonder if insanity counts?

I know of at least one manager already playing games to accommodate one of his favorites to be virtual and the person lives well within 50 miles of attached office/hub. This will absolutely be part popularity contests. The sad part is, we have people hundreds of miles away from a hub that are worthy contributors but with games like this, those people will be let go to accommodate favoritism like this.

I think the way it is being interpreted is "Less" than 10% at the SVP level with emphasis on "Less" then. I was told during impact call last week that virtual assignments had to be approved by level-6 or above at this time.

No virtual employees are being designated on my team. An announcement was recently made.

Yup. They claim the virtual status is to be assign to roles not people
But it’s assigned to the fortunate sons

So two people on the same team. One will get to be virtual and the other “sorry can’t have too many virtual slots”
