Haven't heard anything yet. How bout y'all?

ATO round two. Notified June 22nd and off books on July 6th for management. Non-management will be notified based on union contract.

My group was originally told that we would be RTO 5x per month and this would start in September. We were just told we will report to a temporarily location (non hub city), 3x a week starting in July.

Can anyone recommend a good solution provider that hires ex-AT&T sales reps? And also wouldn’t care if it was a termination for fraudulent sales practices? Asking for a friend.

This idea deserves its own thread. Discuss.

T minus 2 weeks. I still don't believe this will happen, at least for some groups. There have been rumors of "by June 30" (45 days). This being very much like other Stankey brainchilds, implementation will at best be inconsistent, maybe get fully... — read more
