I’m on an engineering team for tenants and have many friends in BAT. Most are all gone for silly reasons, the rest are suspended. It’s just sad that the company has went after people this way.
Thank you for having a backbone and not being in the office every day.
I don’t know what everyones RTO policy is but wanted to thank you for ignoring it. I can find a parking space and desk now to waste time for my few hours once a month. I haven’t seen any collaboration in the dirty COVID spreading office since we... — read more
April cuts—- any updates?
I seen the surplus for last Thursday was delayed until Friday— did anyone hear or get anything? This one seems to not have happened or is incredibly tight lipped.
Sunday work
Cable tech in southwest . We have 4people scheduled on Sundays with zero jobs. We sit all day getting time and a half. Has been this way for a long time . Management knows but does NOTHING about it . You can’t even take vacation on the weekend... — read more
This place needs new management
All AT&T management does is lie, gaslight, and lead people on. There isn't an honest person among them. Maybe they were at one point but this company makes you into a liar if you want to advance up the ladder, so by the time they make it, they fit... — read more
Tempus Fugit - District 9
Few more hours and it will be 13 days till expiration of the West D9 contract, Tick Tock. Bad faith bargaining is continuing to happen, all the company wants is regressive proposals and to say no on any union proposals, 0-34 last count. Appears they... — read more

AT&T Long-Term Care Insurance Program
Got a notice in the mail today that the Long Care Insurance program is being terminated effective May 31, 2024. Then it says that coverage will continue through a direct relationship with your insurer. What does that mean? I was paying $595 every 6... — read more

Serious Question
Why is it that anything ATT touches turns to sh!t? DirectTv is now pure garbage.
Vacation Paid after Retirement
I am an exempt manager and I get 28 days PTO per year. By July, I will have earned only 17 of those days, leaving 11 days "unearned". If I take all 28 days by June 30th, then retire in July, do I need to pay back the 11 days I have not yet earned? ... — read more
A real theory!
It seems like the party is over for the union and core employees. Att does not want to spend money on wireline anymore. It was ironic for the southeast to get a 5 year contract to put them the same renewal schedule as the southwest. In every area of... — read more
Anyone get a notice today?
Layoffs happening today, supposedly .. anyone get the letter today yet?
LOL@WORK
It's rather funny indeed to work in a center where half the people are gone every day - and most of us actually hope to be laid off. As you can imagine, actual work production is purposefully low and it seems most people don't care. It's kind of... — read more

offshoring
Have you noticed that every meeting that they brink up the lack of hiring they throw in "except Indian" and every single manager uses the same phrasing about "these are your fellow employees and are in it just as you are." They can try to justify it... — read more

D9 Bargaining. Do not be fooled.
If us Union "slugs" as the good people we work with call us, were so unimportant then they wouldn't comment at all. Yet they do. We should just be bugs on their windshield, not relevant, not needed, not worthy of comment. Yet they do. They shouldn't... — read more
Mid-Market platinum West
I am a CSE based in northern California and I keep seeing a disappearance of individuals almost weekly. One here or two there. Practically a whole team that was broken up has now been let go is this related to layoffs or something else?
Fiber sales layoffs?
Are there going to be layoffs in fiber sales? Has anyone heard of any big changes happening soon?
Layoffs happening this week!
I hear layoffs happening every 3rd full week of the month until they hit their target number. Notices supposedly go out on Thursday, then you get 2 weeks before you're out, so April 4th? I'm on that surplus list so I may be gone this week, or be... — read more
SIPP is being offered today! Take it!
For the entitled group who complain how things were, please fill out the paperwork. Some of us still have young families to support and want to work and learn for our paycheck. Go to house and stop hiding behind seniority!
Layoff CEC Issues
Just a heads up, many folks off payroll Q1 were not automatically enrolled in CEC. If you were impacted, call to enroll - you have 65 days after date of termination. On March 1, there were changes to CEC and seems to be some confusion if your CEC... — read more
