Defined pension benefit plan.

Happy to be leaving EOY. Worked 38 years, most with the exception of the past ten years, have been good. I realize how fortunate I am to have a pension when I leave. I just can't imagine working 30 plus years and not having a pension. All you receive... — read more

Nearly three decades in the industry

In all those years, I'm yet to see a leadership this bad and the company's direction so all over the place - here or at any of my previous companies. I'm a few years away from retirement and I can't wait to be out of this mess. I just hope they don't... — read more

Covid Shots

So with todays decisions, will AT&T mandate this to subcontractors? Those who come in and out of our buildings? Over seas call centers, authorized AR offices etc?

60 days unpaid leave

I didn’t quite understand the whole story with the possibility of 60 days of unpaid leave so those who haven’t been vaccinated could think about it. Is that true? Why does everyone mention it? I can’t believe T would be open to such a possibility. — read more 

TIME TO FIGHT THE UNION

The union rolled over with the vax mandate. There is no fight in the union, and as long as we keep quiet, they will continue to work against us. If they will not fight the mandate, then demand a part of your dues back. What is the point of this... — read more
