If you’re supporting MNS you’re being forced to be employed by WIPRO. They’re making offers to att employees. If you refused you aren’t given severance and you don’t have a job. Who knows if this will be a silver lining after giving blood sweat and... — read more 

No need for the grand entrance, matching AT&T attire. Needing applause. Do your business and leave.

anyone else having issues logging in?

Lots of luxury Uber SUVs dropping off many executives at the main entrance of building A in Middletown. There’s way more than just Stankey Legg and Mcelfresh. Beware!

Make sure you ask for the culture survey results in the NJ Q&A this week. They are trying so hard to bury that thing.

I'm so tired of constant layoff news. Can we go a single month without having to go through the torture of waiting to hear if we got "lucky" or not and still have a job? It's tiring, it's mentally exhausting, and it's too much. When will it finally... — read more 

What are the three amigos up to? Did you have the Q&A session you were talking about?

I was promoted to a new position (Associate Director level 2 to Director level 3) at the start of May after nearly two months of interviews and approvals going up to level 5. I was just starting to get the hang of the new role when I received my... — read more 

I’m going to need a little time to digest. Gave so much of my life and health to making this company profitable. Looking back, a lot of fond memories, golf outings, award ceremonies and happy hours. My VP said, “You’re safe, you’ll be fine…” and then... — read more 

Like clockwork, 3rd week at the end of each month. More money for marketing to use for useless parties and for the c-suite to attend events. At the expense of former valued employees It turns out the dates on the surplus calendar, which for the most... — read more 

Anyone have intel on this? Wondering when those employees will no longer be on T benefits/payroll. Does it make sense to assume T would want the employees off books at the start of Q3, or at least before next earnings call 07/24? They said about 120... — read more

First half of the week in Middletown, second half of the week in Bedminster. Surely this is bad news.

I'm leaving soon but want to understand if my last paycheck with any unused PTO is sent via mail (paper) or direct deposit. Also looking to see how quickly the 50% discount changes to 30% (I meet MR75). Peace out.

Perhaps this fine tune could be modified or updated to include the general feelings or attitudes of at&t employees! It's just horrible what Stephens, Stephenson, and Stankey have done to at&t. Retirees used to have pride in letting others know they... — read more

Anyone know when there will be a layoff? Not enough work for these folks

Haven’t heard about one since last month, any new weekly updates? They are coming regular now, Thanks team Stankey!

So long San Diego, AT&T needs me to move.

I’m being serious. AT&T promotes id--ts. Look at them. There are some very competent people, but there are also complete mo--ns in management and higher technical roles. How are you a technical seller and have no technical skill? It’s like if you are... — read more 

Anyone have any idea what AT&T's severance package looks like? Our team was told last week that we'd get our layoff notice next week, and I'm trying to mentally prepare. It's brutal. They told those of us who are "eligible" that some of us would get... — read more

Scarborough organization layoffs were announced yesterday to affected work groups. They communicated “end of June” for notifications and separation 14 days later. Is anyone able to confirm the dates? Rumor is June 25th for letters and July 9th for... — read more 

1025 and 1055. I have seen it firsthand. All in the parking decks there are also baits and traps. Lenox looks like a 70's burnt out Bronx wasteland. Disgusting. And don't forget ATT wants to attract a younger workforce. They think free instant brewed... — read more

This got me to thinking, what does always on really mean? It appears at&t is failing miserably when it comes to Stankey's new moniker "always on". It seems like always on would be the minimum network reliabilty component measurement. In any case at&t... — read more
