So demoralizing to work for a management consultant pretending to be a technologist. All this mo--n does is pay 20 contractors to do the work of 1 competent employee and outsource. Don’t get me started on saas contracts
Home Alone Skit
I finally brought myself to watch the executive suite’s home alone parody. It was appalling to say the least. You’re not funny and you’re not even close to being likable. So stop it. You are embarrassing yourself. This is why the company lost... — read more
Serious question: does anyone know where to hire some Greta Thunberger–style climate activists to protest outside HQ?
Because RTO just put 100,000 extra cars back on the road every single day. That’s millions of unnecessary commute miles, burned fuel, congestion, and emissions just so we can sit in offices on Teams calls. For a company that loves to talk about... — read more
Dallas or gone
Looks like everything outside is planned to be shut except critical localized people now new office is being built. Notices are going out to Bothell and LA for some groups but not all yet. Seems like the days of anywhere but Dallas is coming to an... — read more
#PlanoBound
Atlanta is in the beginning phases of planning mass relocation letters to Plano once the new campus is open. It may make sense to start looking for a house ahead of the forced relocation!
Hissim Roundtable
100+ person roundtable discussion to look for issues and examples on calls for retaining customers. No this absolutely make sense and isnt genuinely re--rded. No it will go well and won't devolve into confusion.
BAU Engineering
Looks like ASE service installs have come to a crawl thanks to GPON. Has anyone heard rumor of surplus in Engineering? We have very little work. Scary ! 😱
Additional effort to make employees leave
I received a warning because the only place to park at 10 AM is designated as a fire lane. It's well over 100 ft from any structure. There were 9 other vehicles parked in the same area but only 2 of us were tagged. Too many people assigned here. How... — read more
Stinky hates boomers, millenials hate Stinky
Not sure where Stinky wants to get his future employees from. Based on this article, no millenial would want to work at AT&T. Then again, who would? “So many millennials are realizing that the version of success we were told would be there for us... — read more
Feb 1 changes coming down the pipe.
Boss said Feb 1 big changes.
If you could go back in time to the day you accepted AT&T's offer
What would you tell your excited and full-of-hope self?
Are there Att cyber security jobs in Charlotte NC?
Att Cyber security Jobs were and are still being posted but are they being filled? I recall a rename of att cyber security group to “level blue “ last ear before the vacancy postings. Any insights?
IS THIS TRUE?
Hey guys, I’m hearing that around some time this year AT&T will be hiring for premier service consultant work from home again. Has anyone heard this same info on customer service jobs continuing work from home ?
The Fabulous Freebird Fans have something to say
To ATT Execs about closing down Atlanta. Nobody told them about Badstreet USA!

Has anyone in any other markets gotten better direction from their management than we got on our internal call this week regarding selecting "NO" and what that means for having to stay to get severance? It was flat out asked that if/when I select... — read more

WHATS GOING ON?
I noticed on Att careers there’s so many job postings for associate directors In several states! Did something happen for this to occur? It’s like 8 job postings they got rid of everyone?
Network virtual workers
Can anyone confirm if virtual workers in Network org were surplus notified?
The “market” isn’t buying it
Since the notorious August 1st email, the “market” has delivered a clear verdict on T. While the S&P 500 has climbed roughly 10 %, AT&T stock has fallen almost 20 % since that day, wiping out billions in value. Whatever leadership thought this... — read more
AI tranformation will be a flop
AI transformation with LLMs integrated even into toilet seats will be a huge flop and one he-l of an expensive experiment. All the cash thrown at Palantir, Snowflake, AI APIs, AI engineers, LangGraph and the rest of it is going to deliver zero ROI... — read more

I beard today that we are planning to hand r&d to H1B and offshore. is it true that we are basically done with innovation? My director is always talking about moving people from tech rolls into account mgmt and sales. He says that being technical... — read more
Shareholder Value
Over the last 30 days our stock has lost just under $5B in value. Clearly the market can see through the smoke screen that is being throwing up! Sadly, the layoffs aren’t starting where they should…with Stinkey!
To all got the letter - WFH
Can you WFH for now until you wait and start reporting to the new location? Is there any chances you will get terminated since you answer “YES”
Search “Executive” in askAT&T Prompt Catalog
All bootlickers - Go check out askAT&T’s prompt catalog and put “Executive” in the search bar. Here, you can see how the executives you worship & believe should be paid so much, actually do nothing. The executive update you received, was just a GenAI... — read more
Business Services to AFO in Southeast
Does anyone know when the DTs are merging into AFO? I hate to see this because we will be treated like Wiretechs.
Layoff updates !
What can we expect this week for layoffs? If the big boss is watching please surplus me ! I can’t say who I am on here because of my colleagues. But being ATT you should be able to figure it out.
2nd, 3rd levels are unnecessary……
They have no authority to do anything. Many came up from craft years ago. But things have changed. There’s a lot of room to cut payroll. The irony is that the azz hole that created the problem is now the CEO. When is John Stankey going to be held... — read more
Management layoff Atlanta
Director and AVP layoffs in Atlanta by end of January. All directors and AVP's that have fewer than 8 directs will be surplussed. Get ready this one is going to be deep!
Stankey thinks he is a leprechaun that hass a pot o'gold at the end of the rainbow.
He blows cash as he damn well pleases. This new Plano fiasco is a prime example. When will he ever learn that he is a born loser, and as such, he will never do the thing for at&t. Please leave at&t now, you've done more than enough damage.
Don’t let AT&T take advantage
AT&T doesn’t really care if you grow or improve, they just use your work to make a profit. Once your skills aren’t the hottest thing, they move on. Focusing on your own development and opportunities outside the company makes a lot more sense.
Relocation letter in NJ
Don’t forget the law in NJ protects you from mass layoffs of 50 or more employing a 90 day period. The off made by the company to choose to move to another location and forgo severance is not legal in the state of Nj. If they offer you 18 months... — read more

Moved to Texas then get laid off scenario (Unemployment Benefits options)
What if you get laid off a few months after moving to the new location? Will you be eligible for unemployment benefits based on new location (e.g. Texas) or is there a required minimum Texas employment period?
