Are any of you having luck with finding another job?

I’ve been with T for more than ten years. I can see that the company is changing rapidly and once relatively stable jobs are no longer secure. I assume there will be more layoffs, more attrition with RTO, and definitely more offshoring. I also badly... — read more

T’s final offer to D3

What was different ? Seems to me D3 ended up with the same exact “final offer “ that T made weeks before. Seems the strike was for nothing.

Relatively new to AT&T - any chance for a career?

I’ve been with T for less than two years now. T has a lot of veterans, people with 20+ year careers and, from what I see and hear, decent savings and prep for retirement. I have a sense that those of us who came onboard relatively recently don’t... — read more

A tale of industry as it relates to RTO

What did D3 win ? Was it worth it ?

Why even make a distinction between waves 2 and 3?

Wave 3 started already, wave 2 is still under way. Why don’t we just call it as it is, “uninterrupted endless wave of layoffs”? I’m sarcastic, but making the distinction can make some people falsely believe that they are safe from layoffs, for a... — read more
