Thread regarding AT&T Inc. layoffs

AT&T Quietly reducing the workforce again

Two issues: how AT&T reduced the workforce without public layoff notices and the implication for other Former and current employees tell the same story about how AT&T avoided having to issue layoff notices as required by the 1988 WARN Act. From one source:

AT&T has done a number of #outsourcing actions since 2006-ish to different companies include #Accenture, #IBM and #Amdocs. Thousands of employee division in IT which was outsourced, and continue to date for the most part. The significance of this? My source indicated Amdocs issued WARN Act notices in California, where they have stricter requirements, but AT&T and contractors avoided having to announce reductions in Other cities where not required,, due to public perception of the company

No doubt AT&T plans to completely vacate many building across US, after their lease expires, in the meantime the numbers of employees at both buildings will continue to dwindle, there you go Layoffs will continue as the leases for buildings expire, obviously nothing to do with job performance.

AT&T should take steps to become the #1 cell phone provider by building more cell towers across the country. This alone will bring their sales up tremendously.

Why would they announce layoffs ? AT&T management is suffering from cable woes of another kind: Consumers are giving up landline telephones faster than you can say "iPhone.", and the recent forced reaction to T-mobile data offering, AT&T will have to offset such continuous revenues shortfalls with continue ans steady Layoffs.

Meanwhile, investors are still scratching their heads , or banging them – over AT&T's completed acquisition of satellite provider DirecTV in July for an astounding $48.5 billion. also raised questions about why the company didn't shore up its struggling U-verse wireless franchise, which lost 92,000 customers in the third quarter of 2015. The DirecTV move also seemed counterintuitive given that Amazon, Netflix and Hulu have proven the overwhelming popularity of the streaming model.

It was announced last year my office was permanently closing, when the union called the state EDD in to do unemployment info classes, the state reps said they had not received any Warn notices frm att of that office closure, they were very concern because you can not close an ofc with 50 or more employees w/o notifying the state, they need to be prepare to provide for the mass unemployment services , there were @250 non mgmt. affected. Of course the power to be didn't know they had to file in CA, so they learned they would not be able to close at the specify time. shows how unintelligent and unaware of the law these senior mgrs. in the south are.they did offer pkgs and most people took it and ran. att is not the same att (Bell)
