Returning to the office, from my perspective as an employee, is a welcomed change. It means reuniting with my colleagues, which I've missed during remote work. Those face-to-face interactions can't be replaced, fostering a stronger sense of... — read more

AT&Tto give GM cash bonus
How wonderful that the GMs are going to get a cash bonus for enduring the cr-ppy stock price and doing such a bang up job downsizing the workforce of level 1 & 2 managers…bonus starts at around 30k for a level 3 and higher for level 4 and 5! What a... — read more
Notices being sent out today 10/23/2023
Please post in here if you are affected, been hearing a lot of chatter in the office about notices sent out today
There isn't enough meat on the bone in the marketplace for ATT to thrive without
a transformational change. ATT and Transformational just mean re-organizing and firing and Stankey clenching his fists and jumping up and down throwing things at the minions. In Atlanta and Dallas you have $300K VP's camped out at desks next to Betty... — read more
OUT OF REGION states are in good shape with very
little worry of layoffs if at all! Seems to me that those areas of the country are growing their business with new hires occurring all the time. I know why this is happening and it just doesn't seem fair for employees that are IN REGION!
Awful business practices with no accountability
How long can this last before it completely destroys the company?
Layoffs guaranteed for the next three years

How will the J's and M's work together at ATT without
Letting their feeling affect one another? One side of the aisle is feasting on one another in cannibalistic behavior. America would be better well served putting high priced bounties on the pythons in Florida than providing more mass we-pons of... — read more

Arlington heights location
Those of us in Arlington heights Illinois have been told to not worry about going in the office, the building needs 200+ more work stations to hold the number of employees that are supposed to report to that location. What a joke.
Executive Leadership Conference
All the top executives are at the Ritz Carlton in Lakeway Texas . Should the name be changed to Stankeyfest .
Exogenous John
I had no idea of this thing called streaming. These things were out of my control. There is no way as an CEO of a fortune 500 company I could foresee the trends. Hey Wall Street, you under value our stock price because I know it should be higher.

Has Stankey declared war on boomers?
It sure seems that way. Most boomers haven't really done anything wrong but they pay a heavy price. We all know there is a percentage of boomers that are completely unproductive. I'm just not sure how you go about separating the wheat from the... — read more

Layoffs will continue and ageism is real
Now for some good news, 3rd quarter was mostly positive one, growth, better revenue and free cash flow. Doing better despite the incompetence at the top. Of course, omissions speak loudly too.
Smoke and Mirrors?
I don't know why we're all so concerned; AT&T appears strong and profitable. :| "Best-Ever Mobility Services operating income" for Q3 and nearly half a million postpaid phone net adds. Things are going so well that free cash projections have been... — read more
Many getting their RTO Marching Orders
I’m aware of 6 people in different orgs (HR, RAN, MCAC) being told they must report to Atlanta or Dallas by end of year or March 1 2024. All 6 rejected it and will be exiting the company 12/1. The number of people actually accepting forced relocation... — read more

Earnings nice, what about debt?
Nice to have solid quarter, but didn’t see anything re: current debt level? Anyone catch it?
Flip the RTO Script
Then it dawned on me. Stankey’s May letter said “WFH keeps up with status quo” but fails to deliver on growth. But, people WFH remotely are far more productive than the “I manage better by walking around bullpen collaborating on personal matters with... — read more
