this week everyone got to see the quality of resources from offshore during a sev1 issue call in the CSO/EdHayes Org. These folks from India cannot speak a line of English correctly, cannot articulate the problem nor the impacts, and don't even have... — read more
D9 MST are going going gone
MST home dispatch tech use and abuse company assets. They drive 100K-200K bucket trucks to their home and back to their home garage everyday. Big V8 6.3 L engines use a lot of gas and insurance on top. Also, with MST high pay and only have .5 job per... — read more
Nothingburgers
These RTO, relocation, and surpluses this year have turned out to be nothingburgers in the grand scheme of things. Nothing nearly as impactful as originally advertised. Just be in the right location and right time and you are good. Now on to the next... — read more
Employee Survey
Anyone got any info on the employee survey or when it may come out? I want to see if they are brave enough to send it while the tons of folks they just surplussed are still on payroll or if they will bi--h out and send it after (i.e September or... — read more
Anybody relocating to Charlotte?
Looks like it’s the new CSO hub.

District 6 new Buried Drop Technicians Title?
Is this where CST's are going to get surpluses too? Anyone know why this new title is being created?
Anyone know more about what Stankey said to the TDP folks?
Did he have another one of his ok boomer rants?
Southfield Michigan Hub
I'm old enough to remember all the haters saying Southfield isn't a hub. Welp, just got word a multi-decade lease has been signed on a recently remodeled building. Got about 1k employees moving there over the next year. Live your designation and try... — read more
Plano or toast
If you are not in Plano already you are toast. The direction from leadership couldn’t be more clear. The important jobs will be here at our new headquarters. Other locations will be phased out in short order. The city of Plano has even provided us... — read more

Relocating
Hard Pill to swallow but due to no job offer and single salary, my hand is forced. See you all on the commute. Might get used to the 2 hour daily commute in a Tesla.
Reducing Bloat
How about instead of mistreating the folks actually doing the work at the L1 level, we get rid of a LOT of the fluff at the L3 and higher level?....There are so many L3s who do nothing but host teams calls where they circlej--kand throw out... — read more
Plano HQ
What’s the progress? Anybody been there recently? Is T sleeping on it or being fast tracked?

The TDP event was a hard watch
If Stinky’s goal was to convince younger employees to stay, publicly taking shots at Gen Z over wanting flexibility wasn’t exactly the way to do it. His comments came across as dismissive, disrespectful and completely out of touch. Here’s what this... — read more
ATT The company that mandates Powerpoint
Fonts and Colors. And has an army of yes people to crack the whip. Spent more time walking the line activities than driving OI there. Total knucklehead operation.
When you stop rewarding results and start emphasizing attendance, don’t be surprised when people optimize for attendance instead of results.
One of the biggest mistakes this “leadership” made was creating a 5x RTO policy for everyone because of the actions of a few. The understanding has always been that the push toward 5x RTO was driven, at least in part, by concerns about a small... — read more
The one constant !!!
Hey everyone. Through all the myriad of changes at AT&T since John Stanks reign of incompetence he is still underperforming terribly. His ego has him delusional and he speaks like he is the smartest person to walk the earth. The company will... — read more
Management structure at T is a complete disaster
Too many layers and way too many people who think they're important but don't actually contribute anything. We spend our days in pointless meetings, dealing with endless back-and-forth, and watching people fight over territory instead of actually... — read more

I wonder if AT&T is using CoPilot Plus PC?
It allows MS to take screen shots of your computer every so often and store them on the PC.
A few thoughts 3,5 years after leaving ATT (RTO)
First I'll say that I genuinely enjoyed my small team at AT&T with whom I worked the last 20 years of my career there. I have no resentment to the time I spent there, so this isn't a complaining post, just some perspective after some time away. I was... — read more
When is the next surplus?
The people that sit behind me were told to be prepared for an October notification. The impacted headcount would mirror the June surplus. No way to verify the accuracy of this report. My manager said she hasn't heard any speculation coming down... — read more
Handling uncertainty
Asked to relocate to save job. I have interviewed many places but unfortunately didn’t land any job. So it is evident to relocate. However I keep procrastinating that move, as I am being told multiple times here, that I will be cut after moving. Time... — read more
If Money is Tight Then Maybe we Should Stop Wasting Money on Sh!t We Don’t Want or Need!
AT&T “leadership” needs to wake up and start making hard decisions about where capital is actually creating value and stop wasting it on nonsense. Starlink and SpaceX are no longer just interesting companies to watch and laugh about. They represent... — read more

AT&T is going nowhere, they had something with
Time Warner and should have left it alone. That was a gem of an asset that could have had significant growth but the SBC blockheads had to get their grubby paws into it and dirty up the punch bowl. You think about all the M&A over the years and what... — read more
Who hates relocation?
All my young life we used to move every 3 years. Now I despise doing the same thing again after 10 years of not moving. Though it is progress and might be good for me, but I am unable to be motivated enough to move for T. Don’t have a second job or... — read more
Starlink Is Coming. We’re Counting Badge Swipes.
While Starlink is pushing the industry forward and Wall Street is raising concerns about what that could mean for AT&T, we’re still consumed by RTO, presence reports, and building a new headquarters. That’s the only focus here and it feels completely... — read more

Learn to detach
Things will not improve, they will not learn, there is no greener grass elsewhere. The best you can do is learn to detach from all this - accept and embrace the sh-t show.
Mid-year review in Abraham/Press org
I was told by an AD yesterday that they were asked “to do something they don’t typically do for midyear reviews and when asked why the Director said they don’t know why.” Any idea what this is and if it’s specific to this org or something happening... — read more

Where is the Survey???
We was told the annual employee survey was supposed to happen in June. Still nothing. I have to wonder why… Are they worried the results will look like they did last time? Because the feedback has been pretty clear… Employees have been saying the... — read more
