No communication
This is not about poor communication, this is about no communication at all with the manager. I have never experienced this in any of the companies I have worked for so far. The absolute lack of communication for some time now. Is anyone else... — read more
A slight bump won't help
There has been a slight uptick in the stock price in the past few weeks (and I mean slight quite literally) but the fact remains that AT&T has lost 40 percent of its value in the past five years. How much more does it have to lose before there's a... — read more

Santone needs to go
Three hour wait times on employee benefit call line. Many calling to fix HR mess ups associated with her efforts to get older employees to leave. Why can’t they lay her off for incompetence?
Multiple layers of management
Clearly, this has become a big problem here because management is cumbersome, inefficient and costly. Will ATT ever rethink the top-heavy management and get rid of unnecessary managers? My opinion is that this would be the best way for this company... — read more
"Santa kicked out of AT&T Stadium after putting Cowboys fan in headlock"
Sorry, I know this is not really AT&T-related, but I laughed so hard when I first read it. It's not an Onion article, as much as it might sound like one. I find it appropriate that even when an article is not about AT&T but the company is still named... — read more
Gotta love the "they owe me" nonsense from union employee leeches and dividend investors of AT&T
How did that rug pull by DISNEY work out for your dividends? How are the APPLE employees doing with their benefits...in China. (assuming they are not committing su----e). How are the union employees of FANG doing? They are all in nice union jobs... — read more
Is AT&T the most dysfunctional company to ever exist?
No doubt about it.
Stupid feeling
ATT makes hard workers feel stupid for working hard, because those who do nothing do better here. For all my hard work I have been rewarded with more work and that’s it. A colleague who does almost nothing is paid better, always in a great mood, and... — read more

Retail
The new word for the "ABC" process in Retail is "SORRY"! Sorry for your long wait time! Sorry your tv has gone up! Sorry for the internet increase! Sorry we dont have the inventory! And on and on... Boy, what a mess they have created!
Hundreds of Customer Service Reps to be declared surplus in San Diego? Anyone have the facts?

Why people are still joining AT&T
New grads need to get that 1st job on the resume so they can't be turned down for no experience. Being at AT&T 2 or 3 years in entry level is not a ki---r like having 15 years at AT&T know for lack of good experience That's it in a nutshell. And... — read more

Can I switch to Xandr?
I know some will probably be laid off after the sale goes through but the rest will get to work for Microsoft, one of the most desirable employers currently. Good pay, great benefits, and most importantly, management that knows what they're doing. I... — read more
Lump Sum Pension in 2022
In hindsight, the 11/21 pension segment rates didn’t increase dramatically from the 11/20 rates, thus the lump sum drop had to be less than 5%. However I’m anticipating a lot more departures in 2022 if the rates increase by 11/22 and lump sums drop... — read more

Like Microsoft or Amazon or anyone. Anyone else could manage att better than the current CEO and board. No one will ever buy our garbage company though

Egg Nog
all day long in Grand Prairie. Just got home, I was so buzzed I drove 60 miles the wrong direction before I realized it. Ahhhh, life of a NDS Tech. I'm overworking my elbow. Gulp, Gulp, Guzzle.
Not everybody is unhappy here
It’s a fallacy to believe that everyone at ATT is unhappy and no one enjoys their position. Perhaps you’ve not found the right spot for your skills, ability, and goals. It’s a big company with lots of opportunities if you have the right skills. If... — read more

Anyone Making A Resolution To Get Vaxxed For Stankey?
Me neither. What are they going to do? Fire a large part of their workforce? It's not like they can find anyone who wants to work here any way.
