Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Does this sound familiar?

Companies are now "quiet cutting" workers. Here's what that means.

Some companies are reassigning workers in a way that's sending them mixed messages. Emails informing employees that their current job role has been eliminated, but they have not been fired, are leaving those staff members with feelings of confusion, fear and anger.

This RTO and surplus is about the slowest operation I’ve ever seen. Still not seeing changes.

“ actually know a guy, who literally quiet quit his job, meaning he just stopped working. Not showing up at the office...”

We had that same type of guy on our team for years. It was comical, no one ever knew where he was. Attended no team calls. It was amazing really. They finally caught up to him in a surplus last year. He had a good run.

Just go back to work and stop whining. How many of you people are there across the nation counting all companies? Must be tens-of-millions.

Best option for you is to get that job on the other side of the fence. Those jobs are so much better than the one you have now and must pay 3x more than you have now! You all describe these jobs as plentiful and you do not have to drive into some office. I've read that a so many times. Go for that great job in your email. Why are you waiting? Job severance pay may not get paid, go for those endless opportunities while they exist.

I don’t find the message mixed or ambiguous in the least. The “G+FO PLS THX” is not hard to infer.

Yes, it definitely does sound very familiar.

You can’t quiet cut me. I already quiet quit.

To be honest, I never liked this term, as it misrepresents what people are actually doing. They say when people only do what their job requires, and nothing more, it's "quiet quitting". Ok, Mr Man, you have a problem with that? Require your employees to do more and compensate them accordingly.

I actually know a guy, who literally quiet quit his job, meaning he just stopped working. Not showing up at the office. Not logging in from home. Not replying to any emails. His co-workers have no idea where he is or what his plans are, but it's been going for over 2 months, and he's still employed (not AT&T), and still getting his paychecks. And yes, he's ok, he's posting from clubs and parties on social media every weekend. Just doesn't feel like working anymore, and probably waiting to see how long he can milk his company before they finally fire him. I know it's nothing new, even the Office Space reference in the first reply brings up good memories, but I wonder how much of this is actually going on these days.

These globalist corporations are “overlorded” by the most insidious, avaricious, soulless cut-thr0ats on the planet. They are the epitome of evil.

See what happened is he was fired 5 years ago and no one ever told him about it. But through some kind of glitch in the payroll department he's still receives a paycheck.

So....we just went ahead and fixed the glitch...
