Let's say you're getting hired by AT&T in a similar level as a senior principal engineer. What is a decent rate that is not over the top? This position would have no benefits. No insurance, no vacation, no holiday pay. No 401k matching, no bonus. So... — read more
For the people who crossed to take care of their families.
Stick together when/if this ends. Those who have made 35+ with unlimited overtime for 10+ years will try to single you out even though you only make 17.50

We Need 2 separate Boards - Mgmt and CWA
So tired of all the Union posts…should have two separate boards so we don’t have to sift through all of the whining about lunch and strike duty.
Stay strong CWA, JS getting nervous
Very tense day in HQ and Labor Relations. JS fancies himself a leader like Elon Musk, a union buster. But, after today’s update he’s realizing that there simply aren’t enough replacement resources or trades people to fill your shoes. Stand firm, get... — read more

Just think...
if the company focused on funding a fair labor contract rather than contingency plans
Where is the trust?
If leadership spent as much time and effort on customers and innovation as they do now on occupancy indicators, and in office reports to capture Badge Swipes and LAN time we would probably be a lot better off. RTO is a MAJOR distraction and a... — read more

It was recently posted a couple hours ago with many negative comments regarding RTO but it’s not there anymore. Interesting!

Hey, what happened to the video of that man getting harassed and discriminated against for crossing the picket line? I was going to show it to my kids but it’s no where to be found. It was blatant racism. Please post so we can raise awareness of... — read more
RTO the common denominator of all T’s failures in 2024
Start asking about this on the town halls, make them answer. Is made up “collaboration” more important than providing good service to customers? You have an exhausted, burned out, and angry employee base. And productivity has never been worse. All... — read more

Mid Market is going up in flames
I heard they are cutting all mid market in half! Including operations and COE… After they made people move to Dallas. The strategy set up by operations is not working and upper leadership wants operations to change asap to build a better strategy... — read more
Resistance is Futile!
Says the AT&T Borg. You will comply and bow to the collective! Layoffs, Relocation and RTO will continue because you matter.
Dead peasant insurance
I heard residuals came in to Att coffers this month for DPI. Can't go broke making money off of former/future dead employees even if they are/were 2nd class.

Do Unions Really Care?
Had an issue in NJ where union employees retired and their work went to non union and rumor is off shore. No one cared. Never investigated. The jobs not posted. That is what the dues are for.
Are unions a scam?
Unions are just another lobbyist. They do not care about the people they represent, they only care about taking your money so they have more power and influence in DC. I’m sure most of you CWA folks have been here a while. Ask yourselves, what has... — read more

Rumor has it that GES Mobility will have another layoff round in OCT…anyone else hear this?
What's keeping you at T?
Personally, I'm waiting to be laid off. I want to leave but I also don't want to do Stankey and his cronies any favors by walking away for free. I figured, with the frequency of layoffs, my time is bound to come within a year or two at the most, and... — read more

Something fishy is going on
Updates galore about who brought lunch and how bad the company is, then all of a sudden Saturday was the last update. What is the union not telling us? Seems like someone jumped the g-n. Why wasn't our contract extended like in 2019? 12 days after... — read more
How well did the company prepare?
From my perspective the company was caught completely off guard. Things in the Southeast have grinded to a halt.
