The new Plano headquarters project, and what it signals about how AT&T wants its people to work, offers further evidence that RTO(Return to Office) has become the industry standard.

Legg’s only “initiative” is to pay Microsoft billions per year. He should be ridiculed for this Outlook outage. This is what happens when you make a political science major CTO.

I honestly don’t understand how all of these well compensated employees are constantly complaining about having to go to work. I mean, COVID has been over for years. Mr. Stankey is right when he says show up for work or seek employment elsewhere.

Outlook and teams down. And here we are, sitting in the office five days a week, unable to do our actual jobs because the very technology we rely on to work is unavailable. Think about how ridiculous this is. We’re forced to commute, sit in... — read more 

We talk a lot about headcount, restructuring, and efficiency. What we don’t talk about enough is the quiet erosion happening on the ground. When layoffs become a recurring strategy, the impact goes far beyond the people who are let go. It... — read more

Get ready for the wave. Most retail DOS’s don’t do anything anyway and offload all of their work to retail ADs. Fits the narrative of top heavy employees that provide no value or change to T. I’m sure you notice you have targets that you won’t be... — read more

Good luck guys!

All your DOS’s saying that it isn’t going to replace your job. Go ahead and open copilot and ask it if it is going to replace you. Directly- no it will not. Indirectly yes, it will. It will scale how any man hours are really required per transaction... — read more 

Where is the weekly post from the employee who seems to always have insider information on virtuals and their relocation notices.

Told the board there they were doing it all wrong. Said they needed more eyeballs on The Masters and thus needed to add celebrities to the field of players with him being one of them. He was escorted off the grounds with all privileges revoked.

Stankey seems to have decided that the only person worth listening to is himself. Everybody and everything else is to be ignored. And how did that work for us in the past years?

Why are you ki-ling yourself trying to meet expectations that keep changing? They'll run you into the ground and then let you walk away without a dime.

What kind of layoffs are we expecting and why many in Feb?

Did anyone move to a hub recently ? Did you rent or buy? Were you impacted by layoffs after moving? If you were unable to find a job in your local place, what was your chance of finding one there?
