AT&T insider. John (yet again) in his pajamas.

Att buy back warners

Told you all they would do a role up of paramount and Comcast. Att should be involved in that. A fine way to make back their money and an excuse for mass purges. With all those companies together they couldn't be truffled.

Being in office next couple weeks .. What a JOKE

I would love someone to explain why I need to drive to the office just to speak to NO ONE as most people are now on vacation. I didn’t speak to a soul today. Obnoxious waste of gas and time.

Inconsistent Guidelines?

I’m noticing folks with same/similar titles and job function having different guidelines for the Occupancy Indicator status and RTO requirements. Do SVPs have a quota for the percent of Telecommute workers and RTO, or do they have the flexibility to... — read more

I Feel Bad For What AT&T Has Become

Going back to the days when AT&T was the parent company of The Bell System with its focus on public service and service excellence to now where it's really a daughter company spinoff (AKA Southwestern Bell) that's riddled with debt, decades of poor... — read more

It is funny, or ironic - maybe even pathetic or at least some kind of a joke - that so many of us want to be laid off. Most of us know that sooner or later we'll get the termination package because each component or piece of our work is being... — read more

Rivian EV

Sounds like some of the techs are getting some cool rides. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/att-buy-rivian-electric-vehicles-pilot-deal-cut-cost-emissions-2023-12-14/

AT&T and Rivian

Sure AT&T would buy cars that don’t exist, for workers that won’t exist. Aha I get it they want to cut cost and carbon emissions. That’s why they are asking 200000 people to drive their gas fueled vehicles to their offices. Such hypocrisy — read more
