Every new hire is mediocre at best and awful at worst. I guess we've reached a point where nobody good wants to work here.

My salary is literally 2k than lowest band point

IHX be prepared for the massive sweep from Asset Protection looking to make as many possible terminations as possible. There will be many interviews over the next coming weeks looking for minor or made up violations to reduce headcount before the... — read more 

tells you one very important thing besides the obvious: they've probably been lying to us all along on previous survey results. Why do I say that? It was so obvious what the results were going to be on this recent survey that there was no way they... — read more

As a member of management who is part of contingency exercises, I am urging you to prolong this strike as long as possible. Short two and three day labor stoppages over a weekend are nothing but minor nuisances. Make the company pay. Fight for your... — read more 

Now is the time. We can’t wait any longer. Get it done.

Att is no longer an American company. They need to rename the company to ITT because they are moving management jobs to India as quickly as possible. The only jobs that will remain are the c-suite and union jobs that require a physical presence. ... — read more

Who’s going to ask this dude a real question? These are always so great to hear the way leadership dodges issues but always great context for those that can read between the lines. There should be a way to submit anonymous Q’s in these town halls and... — read more 

Let’s hear the best “reasons”

These are the only two things that need to happen to right the ship. Nobody is buying into any “culture” they are trying to push. I don’t think one person can even tell you what it’s supposed to be. I understand RTO is a layoff hoax, but if this... — read more

Hearing this August layoff will be a bad one. Get ready domestic peeps. The gutting of talented US workers will take T closer to being majority overseas employment in no time. Nice job ki-ling a once great American based company.

Sorry if someone answered this question before, but what does FOW status mean in webphone? In contrast to FTO “Full time office” thank you.
