Topics regarding layoffs at AT&T

Topics regarding layoffs at AT&T

We were simply told 3 days per week

And figure it out. No ground rules for days off and how that counts, half day in the office. I think Leadership wanted to nail whoever they could with any kind of technicality. That's the kind of dirty pool ATT plays with employees, shareholders, and... — read more 

The office is completely dead today

And has been a ghost town most of the week. People are definitely checking out of work and not caring is setting in. I guess you all with eff around and find out. They can't fire everyone who is violating RTO but those complying with still see the... — read more

RTO

Return to the office people. AT&T pays you and directed you to RTO. Otherwise, you could be next on the surplus list.

Our Leadership doesn't even check RTO

Reports. No one is going into the office any longer. It spiked at first but people have gone back to not giving a concern due to no enforcement. ATT will get their number of heads no matter what. Good people will be shown the door. Fat Sloth will... — read more 

ATT Leadership has gone into their own

Tunnels, vanished, disappeared, cowardly waiting and afraid to be amongst the people. They are disconnected from the working folks looking to save their own skin under this brutal regime. I have gone rogue and recommend Verizon, TMobile, Metro PCS... — read more

For all you Pious Good Little ATT Soldiers

Stankey says

Stankey said the best talent comes from CA because that’s where he’s from. Nowhere can you find someone more capable of placing AT&T into the level of debt that Stankey has done. It requires special level of, well I'm at a loss for words at this... — read more 

Good Article from Business Insider

Here's my favorite part: "And if, as some have suggested, the return-to-office push is an attempt at a "soft layoff" — instituting unreasonable policies to make people quit (or accept severance) — it's corporate cowardice. It's restructuring a... — read more

RTO is dead

That didn’t take long. Majority aren’t coming in and the rest leave after swiping. This place is a clown show.

AT&T can't fail

That's the tragedy of it all. No matter how badly Stankey and his cohort sc--w up, there will still be a company left. It might not be as big, or as good, or as popular, but there will still be a company standing. That's why they're so confident even... — read more

I don't know why some of you get so invested

Most of you won't be with AT&T within a year. Some will be fired, some will be laid off, and some will leave on their own, but I'm guaranteeing you that the majority will be gone. There's no point in getting invested in what's happening with the... — read more

How did you find out about this site?

A coworker sent it to me over the summer. I passed it on to two other coworkers. How did you find out? Google search? Coworker? Word of mouth? Water cooler?

Wave 2

Hearing wave 2 letters coming in March. Anyone else? That seems a bit off from the 18-24 month timeline given last year.

T's L3 and Above Bonuses Seem To Be Blood Money

Basically, it's leadership's bounty on the livelihoods of the heads they cut. They dug AT&T into a very deep financial hole and they need the hits to keep on comin' so they can bail themselves out. Or maybe I'm being a bit negative.

Cost per employee versus competition

Basically talking Verizon and know Tmob is not Union (and they are still cutting people) but would still be interested if that information is available. Perhaps this isn’t the proper phrasing of the question but wondering how we compare on a cost... — read more 

How much longer?

Will we have to wait for Stankey to leave? Why is he hangin' around? He can always come back as a consultant for $1M per year like Stephenson. I just don't understand why he stays on, perhaps it's the toturing of the rank and file that he enjoys. I... — read more

Nobody cares anymore

People are no longer even pretending they're doing anything. Nobody cares anymore. And why would we? Most of us won't be with T within a year and we know it. So why bother?
