The question isn’t why they’re leaving. The question is… what do they know that you don’t? Morale is collapsing. Talent is walking out the door. People spend more time worrying about where their job might be moved next than how to grow the business... — read more 

Need a bit of math help here - What's larger: -23% or +76%? For example, if one company grew in value about 76% and the other grew negative 23% in value, who grew more? To make it a bit easier, you chose some fixed time fame and let's keep it in the... — read more 

Fairly new to the company. How do surpluses work and what sort of roles are they targetting

Give them a few more months and the rate will be back to 7% like it was 14 years ago. Of course, the stock price will be 50% lower than it was 14 years ago, but Stank will spin the win and the board will do nothing.

AT&T: $29.58 → $22.75 (-23%) T-Mobile: $102.53 → $180.40 (+76%) S&P 500: 3,115.86 → 7,465 (+140%) Nearly six years later, AT&T’s answer to every problem seems to be more RTO, more presence tracking, and more control. Meanwhile, T-Mobile... — read more 

People will make sacrifices for a company with upside momentum. A company growing fast. A company where employees share in the upside growth. That’s usually how the deal works, you give more, and you get more. Maybe it’s equity. Maybe it’s stock... — read more 

Fresh 1-year lows on the stock. Morale at all time lows. Employee trust at multi-year lows. Yet somehow we’re still talking about badge swipes, presence reports, and where people are sitting. The market is asking for execution. Leadership keeps... — read more 

Those changes tend to drop out of nowhere but they matter too much to only find out when cuts actually happen.

Gas prices keep climbing, yet we’re still pretending there’s a business case for forcing people to drive to an office five days a week to do work that happens on a laptop. Every increase at the pump is another pay cut for employees. More money... — read more

Can we have just a full month without layoffs? Just one?

Hearing folks are off payroll 7/1. Right or wrong?

I’m being asked to relocate as part of RTO to a location where my current skillset does not have long-term scope in ATT, so I chose to go to HQ that may offer more internal opportunities and some extended family support. Now I’m second-guessing the... — read more

If you are forced to relocate, which one would you choose to relocate and why?

Yes, that's right. Stankey & Stephensen paid top dollar to acquire Warner Media, then sell it to Zaslov @ WBD for pennies on the dollar, then WBD is acquired for more than at&t purchase price. You can't make this stuff up, Stankey is the laughing... — read more

VTPs incoming! 104 weeks! Low guys are getting a job offer guarantee 1-7 states away to fill the gaps after VTPers leave. Word coming down next week. Have fun with allllll that.

It’s 2:30 here at HQ. I’ve met my 40 hour requirement for the week so it’s time to head home. Man I love Summer Fridays!

Of course, they have to ki-l the stock to get the dividend rate back to the 7% of 2012. However, Stank will claim it is a victory and the useless board will reward him.

Price on July 1, 2020 $23.40 Price on June 4, 2026 $22.66 (intraday) Cumulative price return -3.2% Annualized price return -0.5%

The culture is trash , no flexibility , no happy employees , no performance ,you run a company like it's 1980 ...this is what u get ..get this loser ceo out now !!!!

What a load of sh!t this all is. You don’t care about any of us. If you did you would have respected our survey feedback last year. People want flexibility, none of the other BS does anything for anyone.

How can you mess up a company so badly and never answer for any of it? Are we in a TV show and they have plot armor? What is it that's keeping them untouchable despite so many failures?

Just wondering if anyone was asked to move this year?

Another quarter another canvas for VSB candidates here in the west with no surplus ever being declared. F you HR people. Just offer ESRO across the board.

Why does management say presence reports aren’t really scrutinized anymore? Bull, if anything they are used even more. Why do you claim we have flexibility? Bull, we need approval in advance for Caregiver & WFH if we’re sick- that’s babysitting, not... — read more 

John is hosting a Dallas ONLY (sorry non HQ people) open mic today. Highest rated question from the chat I will stand up and ask.

I was diagnosed with shingles a week ago. I've been going to the office all along and plan to keep going in and using shared space. I'm not going to waste a sick day being actually sick. I'm trying to use a different spot every day. Enjoy.

I really hope I get selected this layoff wave otherwise I’m thinking of quitting. Anyone else feel the same? I was planning on waiting till next year but I don’t think I can make it.

Stank tried to spin the metric that 79% of the employees that did respond felt committed and engaged and used that number as support for his policies. He did not share the next metric that if only 79% of those who responded felt engaged/committed... — read more

When will virtual employees be asked to move to a hub?

Major layoff rounds don't scare me. Those come and go and by the end of them we know where we stand. It's the constant silent layoffs that are destroying me. They can happen at any moment to any of us. That's the real problem with T. That's what's... — read more
