Do people like working in fiber? Is it an attainable job? Considering moving over, any input is welcome.

Anyone have any insight??? What's it looking like?

Are the internal job board salary ranges accurate, or are most folks on the higher end or above the ranges? Has anyone received a salary increase or other compensation adjustment since being forced from "remote" designation to RTO?

Rumor has it that CS&O gets it this Thursday. People are supposed to getting their letters to move to a hub city otherwise they are off payroll on March 5th. Can anyone corroborate this?

Single man, no kids.. been here 15 years. Got no ties to the city I’m in.. thinking about leveling up

Just another reminder of how they scr*wed a lot of people out of a week of vacation, including myself, for a day in February that I have no reason to want to have off.

How has this process changed as to where it is financially viable? Remember years ago when this was attempted. Busted duct runs where the cable couldn’t be pulled out, incorrect records where customers were put out of service, etc. Understand a lot... — read more

Does anyone know how many call centers the company recently opened in Africa and what type of calls they are taking?

Knowing they might get laid off a year or even less after they make such a major move? I can't figure out why a single person would be considering it. Honestly.

I posted this as a comment the other day, but it should probably be a thread. There are notices at the office from Tech Mahindra on the bulletin board in the office of notice to bring in H1B workers. How? They are laying off people left and right... — read more

Seems as pretty big change will happen after 3/1 within the org. Lot of gossips, but anybody know something tangible?

It's liberating to see the company shedding all the dead weight. It's my guess there will be some top execs on the chopping block soon. Pure incompetence to unneccesarily carry so many extra unneeded employees.

At one time AT&T was a good place to work and you were not afraid to hold any AT&T stock .

Sounded like a street festival in the background with scooters buzzing by and a swinging screen door ba----g periodically. Guptah Rameer on the other end didn't care at all.

So I will be surplus, with severance- but no one can tell me when. The letter said the coming weeks/months. Any insight how things being rolled out?

Whoever signed off on giving that company millions of dollars to create simplified ticketing systems should be fired. That company ServiceNow is the biggest ripoff I’ve ever seen.
