I have a dream that one day we will be judged not by a badge swipe, not by a line in a presence report, but by the work we actually do. I have a dream that we stop pretending five days in an office equals productivity, when we’ve already proven that... — read more
How and where redux
The how and where report was wrong again. Shorting me hours at the end of the day. Leadership did tell us two things this week. Don't let your average drop below 7. Don't make it a habit of leaving early on the same day every week.

Relocation woes
Assigned city X to relocate. Asked for city Y. Accepted relo. Now regretting decision due to horror stories of commute and bad work life balance. I don’t think I can sustain city Y. What to do?
Use AI get paid less
Supply chain sent a note to the contractor labor (mostly developers) that it is suspected they are using AI and those gains should be passed along to AT&T. Therefore their contracts amounts must be reduced immediately and every year for the next four... — read more
Relocating to Plano.
First time to Dallas. I am seeing traffic is 1 to 1 and half hour each way. Normal traffic in other cities is around 45-50 minutes. What time do you guys start and leave from work to be in compliance but still have time to pick up/drop off kids.
Officially stopped giving a sh-t
Best of luck to you all living with this braindead bozo leadership. I won’t be coerced into “doing more with less”. You claim market based but don’t compensate market based. I’m done going above and beyond for a company that doesn’t even offer basic... — read more

This place is taking a real health toll
Two people on my team have developed serious stomach issues this year. Their doctors said it's stress related. Both of them! And yet nobody in management seems to care.
Could have just held Time Warner and
Let them do their thing and eventually sold. Oh the Hubris of SBC Stanley, Stevenson, and their Minions.

Just curious
Does anyone on here NOT want to be laid off? Seems like most everyone i work with WANTS to be, including me. It's kind of funny in a twisted way how we always joke around about it.
Junky Bond Proxy
Without the Junk Bond Yield. Dividend Yield is just 4.2% to hold this no growth, debt dump truck, poorly managed, garbage CEO, shareholder abusing, ghost ship freighter of a company.
Uh Oh!
"AT&T's Free Cash Flow Declined Significantly Last Quarter". Stanks plan isn't working. Plan for a dividend cut down the road. Eliminating jobs isn't the answer. The Board must take immediate action, but all they do is collect a fat check.
Another week, another game of "is it my team's turn this time"
I honestly preferred major layoffs to what we have now.
Did anyone accept relocation but not move after the letter came?
If yes, did you find another job and quit?
Can they take your pension (cash balance)
I’ve heard different rumors, but can they actually take your pension(cash balance) away from you if you’re let go because they deem you did not go to the office? I know they can’t touch your 401K.
Are they tracking IP Addresses??

Burned out and done pretending this makes sense
I’m exhausted. The commute, the cost, five days in a seat for work that still happens on a laptop and on calls with people who aren’t even here. Let’s stop pretending this is improving anything. It’s not driving better results, it’s just draining... — read more
Finance needs a good house cleaning
When is finance team going to cleaned up with official span of controls in place. AVP reporting to AVPs, directors with 1 person team. Company wants to save money, but they cant save themselves.
In a really bad phase
Being asked to move. I will be sole-earner. I can move but I am seeing a lot of surpluses right after move. So am wondering if I will be jobless in new location, if there are more surpluses. Did anybody find themselves in this situation?
