Just received an announcement regarding RTO 5 days/week effective 1/1/2025. Choy org. I think it applies to entire org but curious about anyone else?

There’s just far too many of them who come here to defend the indefensible. Either Stankey truly is paying these people to defend him, or we have a lot a holes with nothing better to do.

whats the RTO look like? I know L3+ are 8 hours but what about L2 and below?

Burnout is real, and it’s hitting hard with the endless workload and stress. It doesn't help that we're having layoffs all the time and never backfilling any of the positions, so instead of getting better, things keep getting worse. It's getting... — read more 

Lets Talk About RTO. On second thought, let us once again talk about the buffoonery of the mindless drone leadership that are following blindly. Here is what is really happening. Fortune 100s are telling the followers (the Fortune 200-500s) that... — read more 

I think I'll retire from T and be a retiree at a local tire shop removing used tires from cars and trucks and putting new tires on.

Serious question - serious replies only! It is cheap in order to incentivize signup and it is offered to all employees, and it is separate from regular health insurance. It is mostly or all self funded (I believe) so the company has a very high... — read more 

Chris Jones, our AVP of Channel, has decided to leave the company, as he was unwilling to relocate to Dallas. His approach often felt distant, with limited engagement with team members at other levels. His departure opens up the chance for a fresh... — read more 

As Cardi B once said - that’s suspicious. What are your thoughts?

John gets a lot of hate on this board that is unwarranted. He has been making the necessary hard choices to streamline costs and headcount. Thank you, John!

If you cut my organization further, the result will be a million dollar fines from the FCC. Doubt me? The FCC and FirstNet Authority have had enough with this sh-t show of a company. Keep playing games, and see what happens. They’ll have you back... — read more

I’m a relatively young store manager at a corporate location, and tomorrow I’m putting in my two weeks’ notice. I’m feeling incredibly nervous because I’ve been conditioned to think that AT&T is the end-all, be-all. The micromanagement, the... — read more 

Anyone with time to complain doesn't have enough work to do. How is it possible for so many employees to boast about gaming the company and their Supervisors are unaware? You don't have an employee problem. You have weak low level managers.

Will skyrocket, and this will surely be overdone. You already don’t have enough people to keep up the work in most groups. You think people are going to be motivated to work HARDER for you to pick up the slack as headcount plummets. This is the... — read more 

Notice that almost the entire CSO leadership came from wells. How is that acceptable?

I’m sure this is not news, and the censors will delete this post, but it is a stark truth

Let’s face it: the forced return-to-office (RTO) policy isn’t sitting well with most of us. For those already putting in eight hours a day, five days a week, the constant monitoring feels offensive and unnecessary. And for those who don’t need the... — read more

Better start working your full 8-hours in the office or your going to be flagged on presence report and for 5-days a week. Johns quote, you need to put in a good day of work.

Retiring soon. What did people choose for their retirement award/gift that they thought were good, high-quality items?

Posted this under a different heading earlier: This is not unique to T only. Large scale business across every industry is implementing RTO policies. They are rounding up the sheep and taking back power and control. Just look around at these posts... — read more

We get to go to the office five days a week for at least eight hours a day. I have sure missed those days. Seriously. No negative comments please.

Yes, it's a thing. Yes, we're being tracked. HR has an entire tech team that's working on PBI reports. I know several people in HR and it's all being driven by Stankey and Lee (who covers HR since Angela left). I've been with the company almost 15... — read more

Productivity and morale were circling, but just went down the drain. Good luck to T and company sycophants. THIS will be the straw that breaks the boomers backs.
