I’ve been coming to the office for a month and today suddenly it’s crowded. Like 5 people most days and 100 today. Did something happen?

Has anyone decided not to relocate and start working a second job while waiting for your last day on payroll and severance check from AT&T?

Does any dept or position in AT&T offer formal training? All I see is sink or swim as the customer suffers.

Never looking ahead or saying then what? I was never a yes man but kept my head down, laid low, had side action going but ATT was the foundation with pay and benefits. Now 30 years later this is just something I spend at most 10 hours a week on... — read more 

With a likely chance that I will not have a job within a few months, I've lost all motivation to do anything but what I absolutely have to. The way T is handling this seems designed to ruin morale and get people to give up and quit. I'm sad to say... — read more

If the company is trying to get people to quit by forcing RTO, you would have been given TW status if they wanted to keep you. If you got FTO, no bonuses are offered to "keep" you at the company. That is BS. Once we get to wave two, relocation... — read more 

I have been an employee since 2000. 23 years. 23 years of wasted life. I can't take it anymore and have reached the point to where I just don't care anymore. I'm here to collect a check, do the bare minimum, while I just await my death sentence. Yes... — read more

I'm thinking about taking money from my 401k early but I have heard some horror stories. What do you guys think?

We all agree that JS should be fired. But what's next? His "old school" DRs like Lee, Arroyo, Mcefresh, share his same mindset. Who should stay and who should leave? Legg, Kellyn, perhaps? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.

Yes, of course this is a psychological experiment. AT&T invented the Hawthorne experiment over 70 years ago. Just google "Hawthorne Effect".

I guess RTO is awesome for the gym rats that include their daily workouts as part of their business day and not relief periods. The gym door swipes during non lunch hours would be an enlightening query.

Any idea when is the next cut?

Cautionary tale! Had a friend with 20+ years svc. as occupational (awesome employee) that back in the early 2000’s, took a management position. Within a year 1/2 they surplussed/laid him off right before he became MR75 retirement eligible. It took a... — read more
