Does anyone know when this will be across all organization for all employees L1+? Do they plan on communicating this at some meeting at some point so we can plan accordingly?

Finding another job takes a lot of time and effort. The majority of us have neither free time nor energy leftovers to deal with it all the time. If any of us can become jobless in the near future, that means that we all have to be on the lookout for... — read more 

Company has spent millions on tracking employees and will not spend any money to fix the terrible applications we have to work with. Some days I amazed that our network just doesn’t collapse on itself. This sumps up AT&T management's idiocy... — read more 

If attrition was higher, there's a chance we'd see fewer layoffs. There are so many people who keep saying they're going to quit but it doesn't seem many - if any - of them are actually going through with it. Why? If you want to quit, just do it... — read more

You have a bright future! Go forward and do great things.

Can somebody explain how this place keeps insisting on hiring cheap labor while expecting top-tier talent? Where’s the logic in that? I’m genuinely curious about their thought process - does it involve magic or something? I joke, but honestly... — read more 

Well, I am expecting this management to continue to be d-mber than a rock, and with all these layoff and layoff rumors. I decided to short the T stock. There is no way these clowns gonna take away my retirement money or make it depreciate like he-l... — read more 

In SE, a SIPP was just announced for systems technician title only. Any takers must be off payroll Dec 14th. Not coincidentally , the next technician layoff list comes out Dec 15th. Looks like the ultimate goal is to eliminate the title completely. — read more

So BFS has no $$ for standby pay but they can still afford to pay Digital Techs to do Wire Tech work?

Trust and respect for "Leadership" at AT&T is in very short supply. They don't lead, they follow. If Amazon does it, it must be good. Well, AT&T isn't Amazon and Stankey isn't Jassy. But worse, the Csuite antics from the deals of the century (the... — read more

I’m expected to work overtime, and sometimes on days off, just to meet quota. Quota mgmt came up with. Which is also impossible to meet in regular hours with all the people already gone from the team. All of this could be avoided if management were... — read more

I know lots of layoffs and changes but my guess based on observation is the ratio between levels 3+ and 1&2 has actually increased - just not nearly enough attrition at the L3+. What say you? Am I correct or not.

They're asking leaders to begin planning for RTO and communicate real estate needs. Target date is Jan 1st week 2025. Going to be a disaster.

40 years old, was a Representative at a Corporate store, actually 3 stores for 10 years, this is my 2nd year at the Call Center with AT&T. I’m tired of it & sales/goals/micromanagement. The good news is I paid off all my debt a year ago, my 2018... — read more 

I know that for many of us RTO is near impossible to comply with. In my case it’s not that bad, but it still makes no sense. Personal costs will significantly go up, efficiency and productivity will tank. But given that complying with RTO also means... — read more

Imagine being so thin-skinned you need to combat negative comments about yourself, your management style or the company you ruined. Be a man Stank. Take criticism and move on. You put your pants on like the rest of us. What a putz man.

I should have kept my mouth shut and performed the job I was supposed to do. I was foolish to listen to all those clowns talking about quitting. It was mob hysteria, and I had to show I was man enough to walk. Nobody else did. Go figure. I don't work... — read more 

I hope the first surplus in 2025 focuses on the people who simply don't want to be here. The work environment was professional in years past. I think the majority are tired of the endless whining, complaining, and immaturity.

I’m hearing of a mass exodus. So many people contacting me about people leaving the business bc of 5 days RTO. What are you hearing? If there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s that they have no idea what they just did. The results will be... — read more

Make sure you tell them bye while you can. They aren't making it through Thanksgiving if they declined the move. More accurately, probably won't make it past Veteran's Day. Godspeed.
