Implement the policy. Or don’t.
It’s clear what is happening here to anyone that has a brain in their head.
They can’t implement the policy as stated from the Stank edict.
They understand that teams will be completely decimated.
And while on the one hand, that IS part of the ultimate goal…the VP’s cannot keep critical work that is in progress on track when that happens. And there’s the rub.
You don’t get to have it both ways.
Legal issues?
Send the letters vs. pulling off the bandaid nice and slow!
Send the letters!
What a cluster! What a way to really turn upside down everyone’s summer!
No planning to this whatsoever! Let’s just throw it out there and see what sticks!
Just leave everyone with 100% uncertainty.
Either sh-t or get off the pot.
seems like stankey had to rush & get the word out so the media would add T to the list of companies doing layoffs and removing WFH. probably intending to push the stock up and make blackrock & biden happy
The letters are being created by a distributed department that still hasn’t RTO’d. Of course progress is slower and timelines are being missed.
Must have found out there are some in-laws on the purge list that need to be corrected.
Details for severance requirements are the holdup.
pushback due to how it will decimate teams while expected, can push the schedule back.
severance is an existing company policy and if they wanted to do something special for this go-around they could have preplanned it. doing it at this stage would be ridiculous. cause its part of the cost benefit analysis you do up front.
so i dont particularly believe thats the hold up, but if its is, they've planned poorly.
“ Details for severance requirements are the holdup. Time for additional review is needed” severance policy is clear. Not the first time AT&T has forced relocations and had to offer severance.
They can’t get anything right. Another disaster. Dates are being moved, exceptions (COE) are created. T shoot itself in the foot again. It is embarassing how T leasership operates.
"You don't get to have it both ways." This right here. The company can call the shots all it wants, but actions have consequences. AT&T will reap what it sows, that's what they get to have. No more, no less.
