Honestly

Does anyone really care anymore? When you go into the office doesn't it look like an episode of The Walking Dead? RTO su-ks - that's a given, but it's much more than that. For the folks that have been here a while, we've endured year-after-year of... — read more

What’s the point of RTO, again?

This pretty much sums it all: And seriously, as much as I don't like RTO and the office consolidation, if there any real chance of local teams and in person collaboration, it would make sense. But there's no plan for that. For crying out loud, my... — read more

I find it laughable that our Leadership still

Likes to pitch the notion that ATT is a premium brand of some sorts. TMobile is not inferior and in most cases they provide a faster product due to their strategic moves. I just see ATT with no identity and simply existing. They really didn't even... — read more

You’re a fool if you actually move.

The long term goal is head count reduction. The offices they want us to move too are already over crowded with tons of spacing, network, and accommodation issues. Tell them no on February 9th, buy your time to get your severance package, and find... — read more
