"The RTO surplus is not called surplus"

“And it shouldn't be. It really is a different effort. RTO is an initiative to consolidate positions/departments to position them for selling off or outsourcing/offshoring. RTO is designed to maximize productivity.”

Odd, I figured it was due to being the most indebted company on earth and thus an easy way to cut some debt. Color me stupid. I had no idea that making people potentially relocate on their own dime was an idea to ‘maximize productivity’.

Surplus because of RTO or just pure surplus to cut cost?
The RTO surplus is not called surplus but T they call it reject to comply with company regulations
And this is happening every beginning of the week since early June

This is not a new thing
AT&T was doing this for many years at very small scale not to attract the media attention
I remember since 2017 about 2 to 5% of every team was let go for different reasons
Every single year

Wake up and smell the coffee
This was going on for many weeks already

Really? Hard to believe the board has been so silent about anyone let go in the last 2 weeks. The scope must be very very limited. Nothing significant posted on this board with details about any activity.
