I get a chuckle out of the VPs and bootlickers
That try and chastize people for mailing it in in ATT. They must have had a chip out in their heads that erased the fiascos by their cult leader that were Tmobile, DTV, and TWX. I got no problem setting my gears in neutral and cashing the check as... — read more

VP Mike Leff has his managers training Accenture employees their jobs. The assumption is that most if not all will be laid off but the leadership is keeping it hush hush. By hush hush, they have communicated absolutely nothing moving forward. US... — read more
Dealing with AT&T will give me a heart attack
First as a corporate employee, they screwed us for half a year (I understand some received less notice) with taking your job away because you won't uproot your whole family and move to another state where you won't get a pay raise or relocation... — read more

Culture is getting worse by the year
T doesn't just have a layoffs problem, but a culture problem as well. This place is becoming more toxic every day. No need to call it dog eat dog-eat-dog world, we are now fully in a man-eat-man world because that's the kind of behavior that is... — read more

This place is filled with bad managers with hidden agendas
Instead of making our work easier, they're making it harder and I can't figure out why. It can't be just incompetence. There's gotta be something else going on with this.
Hasta La vista ATT
Finally made the decision to pack it in. Figured I would get payed off anyway at some point with no severance and that would be sooner than later. Seeing massive panic and commotion from above and it all runs downhill. Lots of yes people just... — read more

RTO, is more like RTnoO
How is that not sitting in my office and meander my way around the building will be better than having my own dedicated space? What a bunch of dummies running this "do nothing company" RTO, is more like RTnoO

Seems like most of the posts on this page are from one entitled downer? Every post kind of reads the same.
Company is for sale
Just doing the bare bones minimum to keep things running and then be offloaded. They need to shed as many heads as cheaply as possible before the big sale. It's the best way for C Suite to jettison this dumpster fire with bags of cash. Shareholders... — read more
Company being prepped for Sale
No doubt about it. Just a big wide open highway where anyone and everyone can ride and simply pay the toll for access. It's the easiest way for C Suite to walk away from this mess with boatloads of cash. Everyone else, employees, shareholders, will... — read more

Do not fall victim to Balckrock and ATT. Roll that pensions over and place into dividend focused portfolio and dust the pensions returns 2-3X annually.
ATT attendance policy using the POINT SYSTEM
Is anyone working using the ATT attendance policy based on the point system? I believe some of mobility and some customer reps are using this policy. Basically you get 8 points a year, if your late or absence you lose a point or 1/2 point. One you... — read more
