Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Why all the complaining? It doesn’t take that long for most to complete the survey. Many are able to page through screens and screens that don’t require any input. Many don’t even understand the technology referenced in many sections of the assessment.

Is this precursor to be converted from T employees to a contractor as T did to IT departments ? If so….what kn--e in the back.

Can they do that?

Sure, you can embellish or falsify your skill set, but why? This is not worth losing your job or credibility over, in my opinion.

What if I don't have much skills to assess? I complain a lot about management... does that make me skilled?

Don't understand your trepidation on this. ATT has used this type of assessment for years to determine skill set for business continuity purposes. Also I don't know how any managerial title could possibly know your history/background. These assessments are not used to determine layoff candidates. Chill.

Are you new? This is a job alignment survey asking if these are the functions you do daily. If yes no worries..if you do less the pay for that title will be lowered. If you do more they will just ignore that because they are not going to give you more.

You are about to get whacked.

Welcome to stack ranking 2023 style... We'll assess you and oops guess you don't have what we need , no no of course it's not age discrimination, you just lack the skills like all the new AI ,ML

Isn't that Skills assessment about assigning management a work position during a work stoppage? or is it a different assessment?

Just put master of everything.

This assessment is not used for selecting layoff candidates. There is a peer-to-peer review process each AM does in which a stack rank is created. Folks at the bottom get selected based on the amount of HC that needs to be cut.

Can we embellish our assessment? I can't see any downside.
