Open mike call with Fin VP. Listened to concerns from underlings wanting work-life balance by instituting no meetings after 3pm on Fridays, no more weekend work unless he specifically requests…could hear sigh of relief from everyone. Making other... — read more
Yesterday’s ACE call - thoughts?
Did it add value to your day?
Question about layoff process at call center
What do layoffs look like in call centers? Are you notified by the top brass, an email? What kind of timeline, severance does that look like?
San Antonio rumors?
So rumors are going around that the 1010 N St Marys office is closing. The main customer service departments there have a lot of changes. Credit and collections are having calls routed to other centers and attendance is horrible. Channel support has... — read more
As if we should be happy to have a job at all
This is how my manager behaves, very arrogantly, as if I should be happy to have a job at all. I guess he's no exception? This company will not get better as long as they continue to act like this.
Silencing Harassment Mandatory Class
If you gave a 1* review to this pompous class with a comment, check to see if your comment was deleted. Mine was. I objected to the content and said so. Originally my comment was edited (deleted) by someone else with the 1* rating retained. I... — read more

Salary Negotiation
Has anyone received a salary job offer and been able to negotiate the salary?
How many?
How many employees does it take to run at&t? 75K? Maybe much less.
April Layoffs
Any new information or rumors? Unfortunate but we aren’t informed until long afterwards. There have been layoffs every month this year and I’m sure the trend will only continue.
RTO outside of Dallas
is a joke. quit talking about policies that nobody is going to follow or enforce.
Danessa Lambdin Retirement
Danessa announced her retirement from AT&T Cybersecurity…. Thoughts?
San Antonio c&c call center
Does anyone know why the calls are so slow in SA. What’s really going on
Why bother
Unless you are applying for entry pay IHX or one of the hundred business mobility positions of death, you won’t be considered for any of the decent positions because they are handed to friends of higher ups. You can be over qualified, and they will... — read more

Amarillo Loyalty office is fed up
I work in the loyalty department in Amarillo. They took away our night differential tours and are removing our Sunday tours (time and a half pay) starting in May. Morale is absolutely horrible. Every month that we finally exceed numbers the next... — read more
Leadership Doesn’t Respect or Trust Employees
This isn’t a company or leadership that respects or that’s it’s people. For the better part of 2-3 years many worked from home and were highly productive. There was not only a high level of productivity maintained but employees saw a much better work... — read more
There are more construction engineering layoffs in the near future
More budget cuts coming in 2024 so more layoffs coming
Uverse Transport and Reliability Center closing?
I heard a rumor that the Uverse TRC center is closing, any truth to that?
ATT is not the only show in town
It's a part of life these days to have to look for a job several times or more throughout a professional career. It's extremely rare for anyone to stay with the same employer their whole career anymore. Younger employees jump companies... — read more
Stankey making his rounds in CA?
I haven't seen anything posted about this, but there is an open mic / social in San Ramon tomorrow with the Stank leg himself. Is anybody planning on attending?
When Middletown, NJ location going away? Any rumors?
When Middletown, NJ location going away? Any rumors?
Not sure what to do
Is anyone else feeling like they're not being given enough work to do, only to be told to train new employees to perform the same tasks? It's making me incredibly anxious and worried. Could it be that I'm being replaced by these new trainees? The... — read more

Wouldn’t it be great if OT counted towards years of service:)
Have you received Annual Bonus (Y2022)
Sorry this isn't about layoff. For mgmt folks who retired last year, have you gotten your annual bonus check (paid every March 5th) in the mail yet? I'm still waiting for mine.
Spend $100M to come up with AIO Wireless Name and Branding.
Then just go with Cricket. Go Phone? Sure $.25 a minute while everyone else is a nickel. Inside the walls of ATT they have fooled themselves into thinking they are somehow premium.
Return to The Office, Get Vaccinated, Monitor PC Time, Monitor Badges etc... are all signs
of a very weak Corporate Culture. Stankey could spray some perfume on his poor reputation and disastrous M&A record with a move to acquire TDS and US Cellular. Add $2B in cash flow and 4M Postpaid Subs. Far superior than puking all over yourself with... — read more

US Cellular Market Cap per Postpaid Sub $400 TMobile Market Cap per Postpaid Sub $1800
IFP and Legal Mandate
Carve out groups in design engineering? Workloads are extremely low and these groups are unnecessary. Most of the engineers just hangout and talk all day.
Mario Gabelli Urging a Sale
Gabelli’s firm thought it was close to persuading Chairman LeRoy Carlson Jr. to sell a few weeks ago when it took him on a road show to meet hedge funds, two sources with direct knowledge of the road show said. The optimism was outlined in a March... — read more
Job search frustration
How did you manage to keep your head on straight and not completely lose your mind while looking for a new job after being shown the door? It's not exactly a walk in the park, so what did you have to do to stay focused and not totally fall apart... — read more
Which group(s) are to be impacted for the bi-monthly layoffs?
So far this year, every 2 weeks there seems to be layoffs. Though the company only announces internally the quarterly craft numbers, per the contract. Most other layoffs I’ve heard about have been posted on this site.
Is the only thing NOT getting cut DEI?
It's interesting to see the people that add the least amount of value to the company get to keep their jobs while everyone else gets cut. Heaven forbid we hire based on skill set rather than arbitrary characteristics.
Surplused on 2/17/23 and eligible to retire but haven't received your Med options yet?
This is more of an FYI to anyone who has not received their med package to make selections... I called to check on the status of my med options since i can receive retiree benefits and discovered the benefits center hadn't received the "file" update... — read more

TDS/US Cellular another StraightPath Communications

Brokerage Firm Jackson Steinem and Larry Wildman
