Leasa Legree visited Arlington Heights, IL a couple months ago. There was a "town hall" I was in the room with the 12 other people. 5 of the people were managing the people in the room. Super open convo. 😎

Increasing disrespect toward workers
My 31st service anniversary was 7 months ago. I've never heard a rude word directed toward me from my L3 until this year, and today was the the 3rd time since January. It made me angry and I interrupted him without thinking and told him to stop... — read more

I took a transfer into Sabrina Sanders Finance Org
Anyone have much insight into how she operates?
My team is filled with scam artists
They always act like they're doing something, they always have to talk about something to the manager to make it seem they're so busy, but at the end of it all, they end up doing nothing! It's the rest of us that do the actual work. they just appear... — read more
What Does It Say About the Workplace When On-Campus Psychiatric Care Becomes Necessary?
The new Plano campus will have an on-site mental health and wellness center. What does that say about the “culture” of this company? Mental health and employee well-being are absolutely important. However, the company continues to highlight this... — read more

Is anyone terminated due to presence report marked rehire eligible and rehired ?
Are there any reports of AT&T reversing 'not rehire eligible' statuses for employees terminated by the presence system, given that management later acknowledged the system's flaws?Is there any one rehired?
Will Plano HQ have lodging?
Will the new $1.3 billion campus have any lodging for those who have longer commutes. This would be great as it would provide an option to stay on campus during the week.
For those that did the survey already…
Disclaimer: I will not be doing it. That said, I am itching to know whether a couple of the old standard questions, and the ones they really got beat up on last year, are even on there anymore. IE (paraphrasing but these 2 particularly) : “My... — read more
We have reached peak delusion.
We’re a complete financial disaster, yet we’re building a new multi-billion dollar campus nobody wants, and this leadership actually thinks the Street isn’t going to react?? The fact that Stink sits in his office talking about and arguing over the... — read more
Do you know what my favorite memory of this place is?
Losing both my direct and skip level managers in a single layoff round I survived. Both were complete a--holes, so to say that was one of the best days of my life would be an understatement. Yes, there was a lot of confusion and issues until... — read more

Transformation call
What will we learn about today? That their idea of making people more comfortable is to add a Wellbeing center to a fully saturated, overpopulated, and loud office environment? Or pickleball for all? None of that will improve the quality of the... — read more

Reminder: the only metric they will listen to is not filling out the survey. We tried tanking the survey with low “My company cares about my well being” scores. Only to be subjected to a year of gaslighting and telling us, it is because we don’t... — read more
Why are we boycotting the survey?
I’m just wondering why I shouldn’t leave a scathing review. Do the suits get graded on survey participation instead of the actual survey responses?
Your feedback matters
You can submit the survey without answering anything
Do not cave- remember 8/1/25
Well, it’s here. DO NOT TAKE THIS SURVEY. And don’t reply to this with dimwitted comments about how you’re going to hammer them. They don’t care about your comments or your ratings. Couldn’t give less of a flying flip. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS... — read more
