The Plan Is In Motion
There will continue to be layoffs under Stankey. And when they stop he will retire. Then a new knight in shining armor will come in and turn everything around. They can then all agree that Randall and Stankey caused this but now we can start again... — read more

Isn't it about time?
Big dogs at at&t just got a big pay adjustment. What about us? The managers L1 - L3, we deserve at least a 15% bump now. We've earned it by carrying out Stankey's poor and failing processes and tasks. Rank and file are well cared for, now it's time... — read more

60 day Warn Act
Does anyone know why AT&T didn’t grant the WARN act to employees surplussed? Has anyone had success in getting it? I read that we should get paid for 60 days if more than 100 employees were laid off. Any advice??
Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate you.
Dear Layoff Site People, after being referred to this site, I popped in now and again to see who’s getting laid off. When I saw a post about my business unit, things started becoming real. I started interviewing outside (a frustrating process), then... — read more

Surpluses, rightsizing, spreading the peanut butter, increase span & control, etc…
Euphemism’s for layoffs to help the C-suite sleep better while at the same time giving themselves bigger bonuses while laying off thousands. What morality, ethics and humanity! Of course, it’s for the “Needs of the business”. It couldn’t be because... — read more

Just curious I have seen several post that have been removed from here? Who monitors and removes these? Just curious how I see some way of topics stick and others that are removed.
Why is Stankey so arrogant?
I just don't get it, he has nothing to boast about, proven failure at business many times over. Bald, abusive, dictator, blames everyone else for his failures. What is it that makes him feel more important and better than everyone else? He needs to... — read more

The Days of buying political protection are over
For ATT. It's a more level playing field and ATT is clearly showing it's sloth and incompetence. In 3 short years Verizon and T-Mobile have acquired 7M fixed wireless subs while ATT in it's petty fashion said it can't compete with fiber. Now ATT does... — read more
