When your manager's manager bails without warning, the gossip mill goes into overdrive. We've already got a betting pool going on whether it's a coming layoff or just bad culture. Either way, I've updated my resume and started casually browsing. Call... — read more 

We instead surplus CO and outside workforces to be replaced with made up titles that just send us emails of no value. Nonsense over and over.

A Very Simple Plan to Reset AT&T Cancel the new HQ project and redirect that capital toward the things that actually matter. Use a portion of those savings to fund a responsible workforce transition and right-size the company for the future. 2... — read more 

All organizations need“Streamlining”. Also, looked like Jeff had to help grandpa get through the call.

In John’s Q2 results email he said, “We’ll need to embrace a market-based culture and continue executing against our 2026 priorities.” That got me thinking… what exactly does “market-based” mean? A market-based system generally means rewards and... — read more 

Stankey seemed awfully confident during today’s ATG Live. After one solid quarter in a six-year tenure, the tone came across as more smug than self-aware, and the comments about employees didn’t exactly help. Let’s see what next week brings after... — read more 

All of you gloating over the 2% increase in stock price today, just keep in mind that the stock is still 33% lower than it was 15 years ago and pays out only 70% of the dividend. The stock has grown $1.50 since Stank became CEO and dividend has gone... — read more

Fortunately I was surplused on 7/1 after 28 years at Att. I’ve seen this company go from, a great place to work to a Stanky hole. Anyways, when should I expect my last paycheck or severance payment. I haven’t seen anything so far. Knowing the... — read more 

It has been a couple of weeks now. Where are the posts about Virtuals getting relocation letters? Have the few people who kept perpetuating these fabricated rumors every few days gone?

Hope in one hand and relieve yourself in the other and see which one fills up first. And repeat the mantra "I am a close personal friend of John Donovan".

Have been hearing rumors around the office, that NJ and Bothell offices will soon be closed down, and employees will be required to move to the new hub in Gary, Indiana by the end of 2027.

So we got the org announcement email earlier that Hissim is no longer over the Eastern Care groups and instead has been moved to Workforce within AT&T. Our only wish now is that they drop kick that goblin Louie Lewis somewhere else next. He has zero... — read more

I heard that most of the experienced people we laid off recently were immediately snapped up by a competitor at a much higher salary. If that doesn't show how clueless our leadership is, nothing will.

Everyone is burned out. Not just from the work, but from the endless layoff anxiety. Management doesn't care. They'd love it if we all just left.

Is it true only people above age 50 are surplussed in Dallas after relocating? I heard many people who moved got surplussed after their move. Was there any reason given for surplus or just told your position is eliminated?
