Got to check out the new comp portal only to find most of my sales were yanked and given to the new “platinum team”. This was after we were explicitly told that this would not happen if we had opportunities logged in SF. Everyone in SMB is looking to... — read more

Legg sure has drank the ATT leadership attitude koolaid. Some really insightful things he said during his townhall today: “John (and I) are fed up with people not coming into work”. In reference to zero women at Level 6 “I am not going to fire Jon... — read more 

Looks like IHX is going to get hit hard soon. Over 2,500 vehicles are in surplus status in California alone.

Stankey has effectively dismantled Randall Stephenson’s legacy. Stephenson’s time as CEO was essentially a waste of time and money. AT&T is in a $100 billion sinkhole that will take the remainder of the decade to recover from.

AT&T = Ocean Tu-d

Very interesting. Wonder how long it’ll take.

Empire Building on castles made of sand with no results. Acquisitions on castles made of sand with poor results ending with ten's of billions in losses. Once wireless starts eroding it is over. The stock price reflects it is over. Sears Roebuck.

Senior Management can't manage. They want butts in the seats. I don't even know where to report to at this point. I was in Atlanta but moved to the Florida Coast over 2 years ago. I felt like Andy Dufrane slithering out of that sewage pipe into the... — read more 

I heard there is another round of wave coming in 3 months. Well, this time.. I will be prepare! Will apply one job per day!

next announcement date per CWA/AT&T contract - any guesses or hunches?

I'm curious what makes people think that many more should be cut. Any thoughts on that? Maybe they think that their job would be safer or that this would be a better workplace if the company were to cut more people. Anyway, that sounds very... — read more 

Cuts happening at break next speed. All will be settled for 2024. But a long and painful road ahead for anyone left.

Does a state help if you are a victim of layoffs by retraining in jobs that are in high demand?

Work from home people need to get laid off first. They don't care about our company.

Half of the overbuild group were let go in my area, also several engineers and none were voluntarily. Contractors can only absorb so many with more layoffs to come this summer, just don’t know which group(s) yet.

Think of the layoffs in terms of the German V2 rockets in Gravity's Rainbow: Everyone knows they are launched and aimed at London, but nobody knows for certain where they will fall or what buildings they will hit. It's the same with layoffs at T... — read more 

Unfortunately, those are the same people who survive every single round of layoffs despite their incompetence and laziness. I'm starting to think that the only way to have job security at T is to learn how to kiss the right butts. It doesn't matter... — read more 

I'm tired of picking up the slack for colleagues who are no longer here. It is very obvious that the managers make maximum use of our fear of being left without a source of income. More is expected of me than ever, I just wonder if they know when... — read more 

To lunch. This has been going on for 10 months and I have simply been collecting checks. I have not heard from my direct boss in over 6 months. No phone,no email, no texts nothing. It's as if I don't exist to him. Is this common at ATT with other... — read more 

You know sh*t is getting real when the automotive department has a meeting about all the surplus vehicles happening this year.

Although I was not affected, as I look at those in my peer group who were laid off, they all are talented, very hard workers and stressed. The layoffs were NOT solely directed at underperformers. Prayers to the ones who lost their jobs. I wish you... — read more 

I try to work under the radar and avoid being perceived as a troublemaker by the manager. What do you do to reduce the likelihood of ending up on the cut list, if that's even possible? What is your strategy to avoid losing your job?

Anyone know when the Total Rewards letter comes out? I'm guessing this coming week

Can those of you who got laid off or know someone who got the axe post their demographics (race, gender, age, education, etc.) and any other factors that may be related to why thy were chosen so we can get a sense of what they are targeting?

Not going to get paid for all of your vacation time. It’s going to be prorated to March. So if you get 28 days annually you’ll only get paid for 7. If you get 23 days annually you’ll only get paid for 6.

Stankey likes to keep the turmoil needle pegged at at&t all the time. Most employees just want the dust settled for a while. Is that too much to ask?

At one time I had hope that the sinking would stop, but now it has become clear to me that this is a dying company. At the same time, I'm wondering which of the many reasons contributed to that the most.

For those not impacted this round? Wondering if this is standard? Haven't heard a peep from either all day. Would have thought we'd have seen a meeting invite or an email by now (Eastern Time).

Understand that your workload will not be light. You will have to take on the roles of those surplused, without the pay. I hope you are ready.
