Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Most of the Pro RTO Posts are from Paid Social Media Influencers

ATT employs these people the same way a political campaign does to spin and mold opinion. They are all over this website every single day spinning a web of lies and half-truths. Keep that in-mind when you read stuff that smells like a big stinky pile of Stinky.

Also, I have no doubt this company has data on everything we do including logins, badge swipes, time logged-in, yadda, yadda. They can most certainly collect keystroke data if they need to. Problem is, whatcha gonna do with that data?

If you we-ponize it against certain employees while basically ignoring it for others, you open a big can of trial lawyer trouble. It gets better if the company goes after one demographic group while ignoring others (wokers) violating the same rules. See how all this works? Don't be fooled by the people on this site with their big-talking threats.

There is no way even half the RTO people are even going in 3 days per week, 8 hours per day. Anyone that claims otherwise is just trying to spin you like a top.

They had a work in office situation pre-Covid

This is false. Even those who went to the office pre-Covid did not interact or "collaborate" in person. They sat at their desks and multitasked while on calls. And that's what they'll do now when they go back.

The reason they will do that is that it's the only way to survive given how the company functions these days.

RTO is just burning up hydrocarbons for no purpose whatever.

The pro RTO people are just bitter old boomers that are miserable about how their careers turned out.

In the end, AT&T needs to start making more money. They had a work in office situation pre-Covid, and a work at home situation during and after Covid. They decided they liked the pre-Covid situation better.

That's management's prerogative to make that call. It isn't a pro or anti thing at all. That said, management's choices lately have been less than stellar.

The one thing I think should be distinct is RTO not requiring relocation, and this moving of work to new locations, which is a force adjustment move. There is an effort to keep these two items conflated.

The pro-RTO people are just trolls or people whose greatest accomplishment in life will be all that hard work they did for a company that couldn’t give a rats a-s about them. All their lonely wives come visit me while they RTO. Pro RTOs are just people who are miserable about you not being chained to a desk like they are. They want you to be miserable with them, and when you do end up in the office, they will still be a miserable and pathetic as they always were.

The anti RTO are lazy people that just don't want to do any work. Hide out at home and do no work.

This site is a dot com (for profit) not a dot org (existing for the greater good). There are definitely influencers posting all those links to those articles on weird websites. Employees are too busy working and taking care of their families to hunt down that stuff and just don’t care that much. Apparently the T forum is good for lots of ad revenue.

Not me. I love being back in the office with everyone in Atlanta.

And these are PR companies that are being paid money that could be used to reduce layoffs....

Just kidding, it is money they would otherwise be using to buy back shares and pay dividends.
