We recently noted that T-Mobile has closed 300+ stores over the past six months. Over the same period, AT&T has increased its store count by eight. Example? What about this shiny new AT&T store in Dumas, TX, opened by AT&T dealer Optimum Wireless?

I don't know anyone in ATS who has received "the letter" yet. But in an ATS FAQ which was just modified today, there is a link for a "preview" of where jobs are likely to be located so that people can start "contemplating their decisions". (Direct... — read more

Numbers are dwindling across the board and management is getting nervous. Anybody have any info on what is coming down the pipeline for us? Hearing rumors that none of the nearby centers or our own had their leases renewed. Anyone hearing anything?

Our leadership call today asked we don’t steal someone else’s seat when we are forced to move to where they are forcing you to move. It reminded me of the game we played in kindergarten, when the music stops you hopefully will have a chair. All... — read more 

Saw a cool demo of the Ask AT&T artificial intelligence tool. User: “Ask AT&T, how can we drive growth and profit in 2023?” Ask AT&T: “Fire John Stankey and the board of directors and focus on basic business principles.”

Anyone received instructions to report to San Ramon location? All the people I know who received the letter so far was to report to Dallas

The bombshell was dropped and no credible follow up info for the workforce. No motivation, production has taken a nosedive, and all the focus is on trying to learn when letters will go out.

I absolutely agree that it's become very difficult to make it trough the week here. I don't think it was ever harder than it is now?

Someone stated this in another post, and I believe in it's simplicity, it 100% nails the current situation. The perpetual follower issued the edict from on high...fancying himself of Musk level intelligence and importance. Absolutely ZERO regard or... — read more 

In case we get axed or not wanting to relocate to hubs, can we apply to work at Verizon or tmobile ?

Move for this company unless leadership was completely overhauled. Until then I will punch your RTO clock, cash checks, and collect benefits. Anyone who moves for this company is a fool. I had friends who uprooted to Southern California with their... — read more

I’m shocked how tight lipped the RTO timeline is. Usually there’s some sort of idea or leak. My director and AVP seem to be totally in the dark. Anyone else?

Hi - I want to send a note to the mods to see if we can get AT&T subforums on TheLayoff... I wanted to see if others have ideas on how to organize things or how to break things down. I was going to go with: Services, Mobility, Stores (not sure)... — read more 

They are already trying to get in the game in our industry but instead of working with all the carriers, why not buy T that has a ton of the infrastructure already in place? I’ll give it 5-10 years max.

We were told yesterday that emails will be out with our assigned hub on June 30. We'll see. Too many dates floating around here - but that was from an AVP.
