Leadership has stated all controller group must report to Dallas if not in Dallas or atl already. Do direct directors know? They are playing d-mb and saying they know nothing. When will notices be received, why not just let people know when?

Everything I’ve been told and heard from senior folks is that they didn’t know about it until right before the email went out. Since then there have been more questions than answers as we all know. They know about as much as we all know and are waiting to hear final verdicts. They had to submit each person for locations and if they were FTW or FTO. They haven’t been told yet.
Moving to Dallas can be hazardous to your career, don't do it! Dallas sucks, Texas has gotten to be way over crowded and housing has skyrocketed in some of the big cities in Texas!
Instead of June 16, the letters are no going out June 30 our director told us today
How can you announce the move and not provide any information…are they planning on just handing 2 week notices shortly?
It will be interesting to see the interns complete quarterly and annual reporting along with the completion of EY requests when only a handful move to Dallas.
Some organizations may have a clear path forward between RTO and the next surplus, allowing directors to have confident answers. But other organizations are still finding a compromise between Stankey's mandate and reality, where those directors are as clueless as those down their chain.
They know they just like to play d-mb so they appear sympathetic
Senior Leadership: “The thing that we do at kitchen table on laptop can now only be done in Dallas shared space after an hour drive in traffic! You’ll hear from your supervisor by June 30!”
Your supervisor: “Huh?”
Senior Leadership: “You know, the thing.”
Your supervisor: “You never told me what the thing is, I came in through a leadership development program. I went to college. I sit in Dallas.”
Senior Leadership: “What does your team do?”
Your supervisor: “Something with numbers and little boxes. Oh, and dollar signs. We should ask them.”
Senior Leadership: “We can’t ask them now. We just said it could only be done in Dallas.”
Your supervisor: “What if we asked them to post for the jobs they currently have. Maybe we could figure out what they do.”
Senior Leadership: “Great. Let me know how it goes. I’m going golfing.”
Your supervisor: “Jablonski, get in here… I need you to interview for your job.”
Jablonski: “Super! But I have to do it over Teams tomorrow. I’ve got tons of interviews outside to find a full time remote job doing the thing.”
Because Stankey thought of it on Sunday, drafted an incoherent email on Monday, then sent it Tuesday. What a leader. As soon as AT&T is not able to pay a dividend, the stock will become a penny stock.
If leadership has said it, and you know it, how can directors not know it?
