Can someone fill me in on EXACTLY what he said ? And how does this not get recorded to watch ?. Show the video
Is the Board so out of touch that they are fanning the flames of
A massive employee gone postal moment? It is beyond surreal how Stankey insults long tenured employees as if Betty Boop at age 23 out of UCLA can replace someone. Does he not consult with Legal?
RTO
If you don't meet RTO completely, what happens next, layoff? do you get severance?
When Layoffs Can Lead to Age Discrimination: What You Should Know
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. Layoffs are sticky situations across the board. It's a stressful time for everyone involved. Many employees believe that organizations... — read more
This is no longer a job I once enjoyed
I think that many of those who are now looking for a way out because they can no longer bear this place, at some point in the past actually really enjoyed working here. I am definitely one of them. How did they manage to turn this into a place... — read more
Let's see if Stanks thoughts on the age of his workforce makes the official recorded replay.
Guarantee you someone in legal sh-t themselves as he was waxing poetic on the need for a younger workforce when talking about layoffs. To those of you ninny's just dismissing this....IT'S ILLEGAL. You can think this, you can plan it covertly... — read more

A loaded question!
So, based on your personal experience and observation and discussions with peers, what is the ratio of male to female HC reductions, minority vs. non-minority HC reductions? Age demographics of HC reductions? Are those HC reductions significantly... — read more
Predictions?
Anyone have predictions for what's gonna happen soon? Re-org announcements are coming. More cuts necessary.
What is worse?
When the street punishes shareholders for anemic/ poor financials or basically just stops paying attention to you altogether? Asking for a friend.
Recommendations to newly hires
Any recommendations to those who have been in the company for 1-2 years?
COVID making comeback with RTO?
We passed it between each other with earlier RTO. With overcrowding now the norm I suspect we’ll do the same again?
Credit & Collection call center closures
Any news on when call centers will be surplused?
Leave on your own terms
My opinion/advice: if you feel vulnerable to what is happening, starts looking and interviewing for outside positions. As a former manager, I saw the writing on the wall in November. I got to work on networking and found a position externally I had a... — read more

you are counted by accountants and your number has been called to be cut like a fa-t in the wind while your screams meaninglessly echo through canyons of whispering widgets of unending digits
Is it time. Stephenson in a Forbes article stated the plan was to put all of us on Obama care!
Randell stated the company intended to put all employees on Obama care once the kinks were out of it. Isn’t that wonder boy still on our payroll?
CNBC Cramer weighs in..
“Walk away from it. That company is as poorly managed as any company I've ever seen in my lifetime." Ouch. But more layoffs and RTO will fix it, yes?
Folks you don't rebound from 3 Colossal Strategic
M&A's that occurred during a decade. There is far too much debt and still a company, brand, and captain that are toxic. The Telco SBC Boys always thought they were the smartest in the room. The most dangerous leaders are those who don't know what... — read more
A cure for low morale
I don't think the management has much interest in raising morale here, but I still wonder if it would be possible to do something about it and how, considering how much the company has degenerated?
Most of the Pro RTO Posts are from Paid Social Media Influencers
ATT employs these people the same way a political campaign does to spin and mold opinion. They are all over this website every single day spinning a web of lies and half-truths. Keep that in-mind when you read stuff that smells like a big stinky pile... — read more
Jeremy with his bachelor in arts
Jeremy with his bachelor in arts will improve this company 100 perc. He says now he was a coder. Yes he coded "hello" message in Basic.
Growing revenues
Sometimes I wonder if the leadership's forgotten what that means…..
It's not about results
Beyond RTO badge swipes, what I've seen is a company culture revolving around being #1 on a scorecard, not on results that help the business. There's been too many hyper focus items (beyond the disastrous acquisitions) that just don't really make... — read more
2nd quarter results will meet expectations
Of the banks and Wall St. This is why layoffs were delayed for some. Next quarter will have layoffs, only we will meet 3rd quarter expectations. This will continue for the next year at least.

You heard it here first folks.
2 weeks notice?
Does anyone have any experience directly or knows someone who left AT&T? Did they give 2 week’s notice? I know that I don’t have to but am wondering if there are any cons. I think the worst AT&T could do is say that I can’t be rehired. — read more
Occupancy Indicator "CC"
What does this stand for and mean?
Is a buyout the same as a layoff?
When somebody says they hope T will offer them a buyout, isn't that the same thing as being laid off? Or is it something else that comes with better terms? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've been reading and hearing both terms and I... — read more
AskAT&T Ai is going to put a lot more of you out of a job.
How many jobs can this Ask AT&T Ai do? AT&T has sent out emails to workers encouraging everyone to use it. Those of you who don't will probably be surplussed while your workmate, who learned how to use it will do the work of 3 and put you on the... — read more
Mad Money Host Jim Cramer says,
AT&T: "Walk away from it. That company is as poorly managed as any company I've ever seen in my lifetime." Not really news, reduced stock, dividends, market cap, benefits and quarterly layoffs are all the proof one needs.
Wednesday Call
You have to know Stankey’s earnings call script has already been typed, run by tens of lawyers, Investor Relations, CFO, and PR teams before being shared with him. When he took the first run at it, does he really think he can sell this to the... — read more
