Wondering WHAT really goes into the decision making regarding which work location or center gets the work and thus workers. And what level really makes those decisions. Who decides which office is going to close. Most likely all the logical... — read more

T-Mobile deal to buy U.S. Cellular strikes nail in coffin for AT&T Wireless
https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/t-mobile-buy-uscellulars-wireless-operations-44-billion-2024-05-28/ AT&T was already struggling to attract the consumer to its wireless products. T-Mobile has now made that even harder.
Enough Already!
Why is everyone on this site so mean? Why can’t you take your grievances to your manager? Why do you swear and disparage others? Why do you spread falsehoods? Why not just zip it already? No one wants to hear from you. Shame on each of you who make... — read more
Been retired for a minute…
How are all of the offshore jobs and various centers performing? Any chance any of those jobs could be coming back stateside?
Move timeframes
If one is told they have to move to Dallas or Atlanta… what is the normal time given to move in months? If you say no, how much time until you’re off the payroll? Probably every org is different but is there a general guideline?
Let's start a pool...
OK, what year and month will AT&T shrink down to the point where someone scoops it up at salvage prices? Bonus question: Will they keep the AT&T name, or will it be so tarnished that they throw it away?
OK Let's try one last time - regarding L3 & L4 layoffs
I agree this place is terrible, but we need to have honest and reliable comments - can anyone validate that a L4 or L3 was let go based on below? Provide location, level, and function. Then let's here from other folks who can verify. There have been... — read more

I'm tired of the "do more with less" mentality
I'm at the point where I'm considering leaving due to unrealistic requests and requirements. You can't do more with less ad infinitum. At some point, we'll be expected to do more with nothing. I'm not waiting around for that moment to happen, that's... — read more
I heard from my ARSM that something is “Launching this Summer Nationwide?”
Lemme guess, Digital Life 2.0? Wireless Home Phones? Can’t wait to see how AT&Fee will sc--w up something else & go in Debt again!
Nothing changed
I was resentful when I got transferred out xx years ago but looking at this channel, it seems I was saved. I wish my former colleagues all the best for the future.
Nothing but the best…
Midwest Directors = legacy hire, DEI hire, nepotism hire, friend hire, and a person that was the only person left after a bunch of people got fired for doing bad stuff. Wowza what a leadership team!
If your job is not quantifiable
Then you are just an empty suit. These are jobs T should be eliminating.
Sad state…
Ever notice how most AVPs and above have so little field knowledge. Yet they all act like this place would implode without them. Hard to be a leader when you don’t understand the basics. Where do they find these clowns?
Mid-Market Slau-hterhouse Continues

AT&T CEO: Focused on Always-On Connectivity
Pure genius. A telecom company that connects its customers, always. Mr. Stank knocked it out of the park in his Bloomberg interview. Yet, as much as the average Joe or Jane (or average CEO like John) likes to stay connected through satellites while... — read more

Well Now You Are Surplussed, I bet you wish you released the Stankey Tape now
Still can't believe that not one of you released the Stankey gaffe when he said AT&T was too old. You basically had hope you would not be let go, so you wished somebody else would. But it's not if it's when, and now you see that
Internet Problems for the last week

Nobody here cares how hard you work anymore
