If they knew what they could be making at T now with access to the company jet when retired ....sort of like how old football players who played 30 years ago feel today with knee problems .

About layoffs at AT&T from the leadership team .
After 30 Years investing on AT&T, I am out
As a long time investor ( I have never worked for AT&T), I am out.. I will explain why below. I bought into AT&T concept back in late 80's and early 90's when I was in university. I took a class on history of telecommunication (thought to make... — read more
AT&T Long Term
Clearly the 3rd quarter earnings did not move the stock upwards. AT&T most likely be broken up into its components and absorbed by its competitors. Wireless is the prize and could be taken over by Apple and the fiber picked up by Verizon. Stankey... — read more
As an Investor but not in ATT
Stankey still remains aling with a legacy base of lemming executives. The talent pool in the middle ranjs has been decimated over the years. The threat still remains that with a little wind in its sails, improvement in the balance sheet, that there... — read more
Stop being negative ninnys
The results are good. They beat expectations. There is growth in demand. Everything we've heard was good things. I've said this before and I'll say it again - take one day off from constant complaining and gloom-and-dooming and enjoy the fact that... — read more
Regarding the earnings report. J.P Morgan told Stanley “investors don’t believe you”.
No one fell for it and it’s just a further race to the bottom from here on. https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/att-stock-earnings-51634813994 Even the analysts on Thursday morning’s earnings call, normally a supportive group—“great quarter... — read more
Pension question
If you happen to get terminated for not getting the jab do you lose your pension? I’m bargained for and our union rep. Says you will but not I’m not 100% sure that is accurate and curious if anyone else happens to know. I am also pressing the... — read more
Quarterly earnings
Well with numbers reported this morning, doesn't look like bankruptcy anytime soon. Consolidated revenues of $39.9 billion Diluted EPS of $0.82 compared to $0.39 in the year-ago quarter Adjusted EPS of $0.87 compared to $0.76 in the year-ago... — read more
Former (not retired) employee plan discount?
As the title says... but can't find it easily on the site. Can anyone fill me in? I heard there was 25% but not sure. Thanks.
Hiring event in Atlanta
Does anybody know how this went? Did anybody show up? Or let me rephrase that, did anybody who could be considered a possible asset to the company show up? I firmly believe that we're at the point where anybody who has a choice will pick anything... — read more

Union mandate exemption question
Hello, I recently put in my own exemption request in about a week ago . I just wanted to know had any union person received an approval for an exemption request as of yet.
Helpful Notice or Targetting?
Just received an "educational" email from HR about the impact interest rates can have on your pension. Most already know this if you are anywhere near retirement age or passed Math 101 so guessing this was intended to incent anyone still on the... — read more
Hanging Up On AT&T
AT&T stock looks as cheap as ever, but there are no catalysts to bring out the value in the near term. The media spinoff will still lack the scale to compete with giants like Netflix and Disney+. Supply chain issues are slowing phone sales... — read more
Open enrollment
Must be saving money by getting a website that doesn’t work. Got far enough to know that costs are going up.
Vacation changes for 2022
Anyone heard of any vacation/time off changes coming next year? Friend on another team/org said they heard it’s changing again.
Stock would have been higher without WMD
Stock would haven higher, if WM was let go instead of the WMD merger.
Stock continues to plummet so layoffs and cost cutting can't be far behind
I am starting to see some older people leaving to make sure they are out as to not get hit with losing healthcare subsidy loss, etc. As the dust settles it seems logical (although T mgmt rarely does anything logical) Stankey will follow through on... — read more
Bonus / the new Quantam Immediate bonus structure
Not sure what it is really called, as I have yet to know of anyone receiving. Curious if ANYONE received a bonus throughout the year for the immediate recognition of a job well done - that is how it was sold to us at the beginning of the year... — read more
Gee, what a shocker: The Opensignal report on 5G - T is a looser
And I Quote: The Opensignal report states that, in testing between June 14th and September 11th, T-Mobile averages a whopping 118.7 Mbps in download speeds when connected to its 5th generation mobile network. That’s more than double the second-place... — read more
Can Stankey and Kilar save Holloywood?
It looks like much of Hollywood could shut down due to a strike. The actors union is looking to adjust or shorten the hours for filming. The union is also very unhappy with record studio profits and would like the studios to share a portion of those... — read more
Digital Life partnership with Brinks
Since ATT will sunset 3G in early 2022, DL will likely become inactive shortly after that, though it may function for a bit on wifi for monthly monitoring. Rather than transferring to Brinks, will there be a way to keep DL "active" locally without... — read more
Thank you for IRS 55 rule
My deepest gratitude to whomever posted the IRS rule 55 info. I am now able to fill the gap and withdraw from my 401k without the 10% penalty when I retire. It would have been nice to know this in my retirement planning earlier but at least now the... — read more
Market Value versus Debt
A debt load of a $180 billion, and a market value of $184 billion. Stephenson and Stankey really put the company in a ho-e. They will have to borrow even more money for spectrum auctions and fiber build out. Meanwhile Stephenson is home with $200... — read more
The solution is simple
How do we fix AT&T? We need to cut either half of the C-suite or cut the entire C-suit's salaries in half. Then we reduce the dividend some more and stop share buybacks altogether. We'll solve all of our financial issues quickly and painlessly -... — read more
October 11 is in the rearview. Anyone hear of COBC violations, due to vaccine?
For management, our drop dead date was 11October. We had to be fully vaxed and "die papieres" loaded into the portal. I know several who filed for and received the job accommodation. In fact, I don't know anyone who didn't get approved? Just curious... — read more
Anyone get their exemption approved?
I put in for exemption over two weeks ago and haven’t heard anything? Anyone get approval? If so, what are the new requirements for the exemption?
At what age did you run into age discrimination?
The age limit seems to be shifting and now much younger people become victims of age discrimination here. Unfortunately, we seem powerless to do anything and stop the age discrimination. The only hope is that karma will hit them back.
Strike
Wondering why in the Contract for Mobility in District 3, its has a no strike clause! Wondering why?
Pension Question

termination question concerning vacation time
Hello. What is the process for left over vacation time after a separation from the company? Do they place it on your final check after separation?

Here's how AT&T really saves money
Grant employees millions of stock options and require that they hold them for 3 years before they can be exercised. I don't know anyone that ever made a dime off options unless of course your an executive and the options are/were repriced. Take away... — read more
Is there any reason why anyone would advise me to take ATT PPO?
I’m still a little undecided whether to take it or not.
Mandate would be easier to consider if the company treated its employees right!
To even think of risking my life for a company that doesn't treat its employees right , or give job security is obsurd!
