I am Union and she is L2, what would happen in this situation?

First order of business, a grammar lesson.
I would use this as an opportunity for one or both of you to find somewhere else to work immediately.
I know both spouses reporting to the same boss. Not sure what policy prevents them from doing so
“ Same business unit/org ? You’re already violating the marriage management company policy.”
You do not understand the policy. You cannot report directly to the same supervisor has nothing to do with the business unit org.
My husband and I discussed this potentially happening and since there is no policy, we would decline to move and make them fire me. OR say yes to Dallas and know it will take a long time due to no seats or parking. Then quit, more than 6 months severance. Moving to Dallas and getting surplused the next year is a real possibility and why most are saying no.
Same business unit/org ? You’re already violating the marriage management company policy.
You will need to stay in your current position until an opening arises that can be bided upon in that area. That is all. Could take time.
O M G.
Why do some people make it so difficult?
Decide which job you two want to keep!
Is her relocation location within your contract? If you are virtual you can move anywhere covered by your contract and take your job.
What’s on these letters? RTO date?
Any signing?
I think the hub thing is still just at the management level right now, so it's not surprising you haven't gotten anything yet especially if you're not in the same group/org.
It may end up that you put in for an employee-requested relocation/transfer.
Wfh union has a bigger target on their back. Those jobs are going overseas.
Basically your options are these:
- Convince T to have you both relocate to the same area, and have both of you keep your jobs.
- Both of you resign, taking severance and stay where you are and find new jobs
- One of you quit and either stay where you are, or move with the other.
That's about it. But beware of choosing options 1 or 3, because not only will you end up in Dallas (ba-f), but in another six months one of both of you will be laid off anyway.
If you both were good employees, you'd simply bend the knee, thank Stink for the privilege of serving him, and be sent off to where ever the company decided.
You ungrateful swine. All hail Lord Stink!
Consider it a blessing. Now you can go get yourself a new mistress while she’s away ! Call up your old girlfriends from high school and see if they want to play.
"I asked to know if there is a legal law in T to keep families together in situations like this."
Lol. No.
Ouch, guys. This is messed up. I can't believe how disrespectfully they're treating us. It's one thing to try to make some changes, but the way they go about it, treating their long time employees like garbage, is completely uncalled-for.
dont know if you're in ATS, but the ATS faq says,
"we will work with other business units to align spouses' jobs as much as possible.
consult with your supervisor and HR business partner if you or your spouse is impacted"
that and $5 will get you a cup of coffee .
good luck
My wife and are in a similar situation. She works for a still valid 'hub' while I work in a 'hub' location not selected out of the hat for my organization. We have been told that we are expected to decide where we want to live and who will keep their AT&T job. There are no exceptions for people in our situation. We are choosing neither of us staying.
I am so sorry that you have gotten so many troll type responses. I truly hope these really are trolls and not AT&T employees who are so disrespectful to you in what is a stressful situation. Speak with your manager about your options and ignore these negative responses. Wishing you the best!
You should retire and mooch off her. Then you could continue to "WFH" but you wouldn't be paid anymore.
I asked to know if there is a legal law in T to keep families together in situations like this
It’s not funny
She retires and gets another job or you retire and get another job or maybe you can get a transfer
Company dont care youre married. Pick one job and the other quits or live separately long distance and see each other a few times a year. Your choice.
Funny thing is that you ask this forum for advice. You will see bunch of trolls responding.
I feel for you both. Like you, my husband and I worked for T. We are both retired now, and for many, many, many, many years we went through some sort of re-org-downsizing force reduction exercise. In our minds, we always knew it was either 50% or 100% of our income would be at risk.
You should quit and get your severance and move with your wife to Dallas
Dude
Sorry but this is so funny 😂
Talk to the HR both of you
This is so fu---d up
You get divorced and she goes on to a long productive career and they lay you off next year??...seriously somebody needs to find another job....probably both of you since you work for this sh---y company
