https://www.influencewatch.org/person/john-stankey/ We are AT&T, not John. My guess is he’s a complete failure & this is a “Like” Vladimir Puttin war tactic in attempt to regain control. Every investor should REALIZE they are loosing money because... — read more
AT&T Split
Is AT&T going to split as we once did. We owe 170billions.
RTO and DEI = Layoffs
Not waiting, looking for another opportunity now, don’t trust current leadership. I don’t fit their discriminatory DEI policy, a layoff is possible any day. Not relocating either other WFH opportunities are available, I’ll take my knowledge and... — read more
5 Days a week in the office coming next
Folks, here is an article that talks about tech companies ending remote work. We are going to 5 days a week after 3. 3 days is the start. Hold on to you seats, because it’s going to get rough. Article: “Tech CEOs threaten to end remote work... — read more
Layoffs before the forced move the hubs?
Which comes first?
Bad timing for Moms !
Was it run by DEI that this probably punishes moms the worst? Kids are about to be out of school (who doesn't like paying for unplanned daycare? $$$$) .....and are now freaking out about where they will be in Sept. I'm a dude, so it actually make... — read more
The best people are leaving
If you’re smart, you will too.
I always said ATT could never recover from
TMUS Failed Acquisition DTV Purchase TWX Purchase And the Cherry.....Somehow Stankey still has power??? You have stepped on the workforce like we are ants. Those who are still around I would say 95/100 simply don't care and won't follow you on... — read more
How is "In a Hub' Defined?
Does anyone know how they are defining if you are "in a hub"? I suspect that there are many people whose current Webphone "location" is in one of the hubs, but are actually quite a distance a way (not acceptable commuting distance). Would these... — read more
Is this just another.....
One of those initiatives that starts out like a house a fire, then peters out? I can see this happening with Stankey's RTO policy. The Stankey regime has developed a serious reputation for not fully completing projects, yet calling them complete. Its... — read more
It's almost like.....
Stankey threw a handful of rocks at a hornets nest! Don't enable him, just quit and get a real job somewhere else.
Where are the bootlickers now?
All you adorable Stankey defenders, where did you disappear to? Come out, come out, wherever you are. Looks like you got caught in the mousetrap too! That's a shame, I wonder if you will rethink your allegiance to ole Stankey now? Probably not!
Told You So!
This message is brought to you by the early retirees from 2921 who left to retain medical benefit coverage.
Stankey may have been able to shed DTV and TWX and claim some version of a
victory there but he was a part of giving a near mortally wounded TMobile $6B in cash and spectrum who then proceeded to rebound and cost ATT and Verizon at least $100B in revenues each over the past decade. They then went out and got Sprint on the... — read more
I doubt they have even calculated the space options in Atlanta and Dallas
It's going to be like working at an overcrowded zoo. Prior to Covid the collaboration zone in Atlanta was slummy and filthy. Sometimes there was no place to sit down and there was definitely no place to have a confidential call if you needed to... — read more
Workplace about to go into extreme overdrive with Chaos and Finger Pointing
The sycophants will be scrambling around trying to get who's left to do things. Those with a brain will do the bare minimum. SBC in it's acquisition spree has always been a disaster to be under and this is just the total manifestation of it. It's... — read more
AT&T- Gaslighting
Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic in which a person(in this case company), to gain power and control of another individual, plants seeds of uncertainty in another person’s mind. The self-doubt and constant questioning slowly cause the individual... — read more
Stankey is shrude, very shrude.
He doesn't even care what anyone thinks. Once he makes a plan it's full steam ahead. I honestly think he enjoys creating chaos is other people's lives. I think at&t is running out of cash. Stankey is desperate, nothing of any value left to sell. I've... — read more
I'm quitting and proud of it.
I could care less about Stankey's severance. I will not work for a company with no moral values. AT&T has got to be the worst company in the world to work for.
Fiber Deployment
AT&T is ten years behind in fiber deployment due to the fiasco of wasted time and resources of the TW and DTV mergers. Ed Whitacre had started fiber with Project Pronto before he retired. Whitacre built a strong wireless presence, had little debt... — read more
RTO policy is a clever way of indirect layoffs
Let's be honest , this is nothing more than a clever (albeit shady) way at culling the herd in terms of employees. By forcing everyone with few exceptions into the hub locations, it means your basically forcing the resignation or termination for... — read more
Union employees. Take notice and learn, your retirement depends on this.
Read these post to see what AT&T is about. Tell anyone you can to read these posts. Of course we have been though surpluses for decades but this is something way different. Save your money, don't make any large purchases and pay down as much debt as... — read more
Going to suck for those left.
Same amount of work if not more with way less people. Sad
Will be alot of domestic fighting this weekend.
You bet, husband or wife spills the beans about relocation to Dallas or Atlanta. Stinky stuff will hit the spinning thing. I will guarantee many devices will come of this, talk about anarchy in the domicile. It's gonna get ugly.
Level three and above management
Does anyone know how many third levels and above positions are outside the 9 hub locations? That would be non-customer facing positions who would potentially be required to relocate. Are there any VP positions that would need to relocate? Just... — read more
Slums of ATT. Will Atlanta and Dallas locations be like Lord of The Flies?
There simply isn't enough parking and space to handle all the people being called into those campuses. Is the point simply to make everyone as miserable as possible and cast their nets to get people to quit? How can one work in literally such a slum... — read more
How does....
Stankey sleep at night? I can't imagine what it must be like being in his position.
It's always stuff likes this.....
That brings out the worst in people. I heard Stankey had to put on additional security forces for his own well being. I can't think of any reason why anyone would want to bring harm to him.
What about Stankey's friends and family?
Will they get an exemption? How does this work?
AT&T needs a booster vax
AT&T needs an immediate infusion of cash, cold hard cash, NOW! Stankey has financially crippled this company. Just a few short weeks ago at the Masters, all was right with the world, now this! Please Mr. President hear our prayers. We need an... — read more
This is more than RTO: What we really know
There's a lot of confusion and misinformation going around. Stankey rolled out this policy in such a chaotic manner that everything is being passed down in random leadership calls and meetings. This is more than just return to office. This is a... — read more
Anyone in Sales Been Told to Relocate?
I have friends in Sales and nobody k owns what’s going on. I can’t imagine sales would be required to move. I guess it’s good not to be on sales right now.
AT&T’s CEO: Workforce to keep shrinking (15,000), managers must come back to office
https://wraltechwire.com/2023/05/17/atts-ceo-workforce-to-keep-shrinking-15000-managers-must-come-back-to-office/
big red flag
big red flag. if you are not already in a hub location better start looking for employment somewhere else.hub cities are already overtacked with managers. there are not enough places in hub cities for 50k+ managers to relocate.
Let's put this RTO policy aside for now.
Let's focus on our jobs. I don't know about you but I'm sick of hearing about it. Let Stankey focus on the RTO policy, let's get back to running this business. Nothing you or I can do to change the trajectory of the company.
