I’m a former TDP. I’m exactly the kind of employee this company should be doing everything it can to keep. I like the work. I like my team. I like my role. If it weren’t for RTO, I’d probably be here for a long time. Instead, everyday I spend more... — read more
I honestly don’t know how much more of this RTO nonsense I can take
I’m not burned out from the work. I’m burned out from the commute, the wasted time, and the feeling that none of this has a purpose other than making our lives miserable. The irony is that I actually work fewer hours now than I did before from home... — read more

Change is coming …
I can smell it in the air…. What are you hearing? Something big? What does ATT look like in 12 months?
Remote work is better. The “leaders” fighting it are just fighting reality.
The biggest thing leadership still doesn’t understand is that “the office” never created any value. The employees did. Remote work existed long before Covid and for good reason. No wasted commute time and cost. More time with family. More... — read more

AT&T shut off my POTS line
Well Att did it. They turned my phone off. Worked for them for 34 years. When I retired in 1993 I think it was. They said free Ld and phone for the rest of your life. Well guess what I’m still alive. They lied
They say they want a market-based culture. The market has been speaking for years.
AT&T used to compete for the best talent in the country. Today, it feels like we’re competing for the best talent willing to relocate to a handful of hub cities and accept five-day RTO. The people walking out the door aren’t just headcount. They’re... — read more
