So last week or so Facebook mandated the vaccine but yesterday they are saying they wont return to the office no earlier than January. I thought the whole point of mandating the vaccine was to get everyone back to the office? What am I missing... — read more

I'm hoping people are going to have the courage of their convictions and quit rather than get the vaccine they so adamantly opposed. Judging by the people posting here, there'll be a sizable group that'll walk away over this. This means T will... — read more 

I gave notice because I can't take it anymore. It turned out that it was not too difficult to find a new opportunity. Since I’ve been working hard so far, I wouldn’t like to leave a bad impression at the end, but on the other hand, I have no... — read more 

Sooooo…..there are at least 8 groups in CNIO who are exempt from the 10/11 directive. Mine is one of them. If it was that important for the health of our employees and customers to get the shot, why isn’t every group included?? Why mandate at all... — read more

Any information on what and how FMP (forced management plan) works? How often, who gets it, any information is valuable.

T doesn’t always make the right decisions, but they do deserve credit where credit is do. Making the Vax mandatory was the right move. I feel much more comfortable now going forward that my workplace will be safe.

Just watching many the comments and posting disappear.

The company is being ran like the federal government now and we have managers at T who are no benefit to society ............ and the people around them .

I was told that an announcement will be sent tomorrow related to vaccination, face masks, etc. and the insinuation was that it may be employees being required to vaccinate. That this was going to be a significant policy chance, not just another off... — read more 

There is a lot of rumors about this date. I hope there will be no layoffs because rumors never appear just like that without there being at least a little truth in them. Does anyone have verified info?

I’m no longer as engaged as I used to be because I’ve been convinced many times that ATT doesn’t value my efforts but I’m still working pretty hard and I hope to be able to stay here for as long as I feel like it. The company is no longer what it... — read more

I used to dream of leaving AT&T behind for Tesla, but I got disillusioned quickly when it comes to that place. My priorities changed as well. Now my dream job has to have job security, so Apple has jumped high on my list (although a software engineer... — read more 

As employees with near 50% off I still pay more than comparable plans with Cricket and Metro PCS. T-Mobile plans are far more reasonable and no junk fees. If I wasn't subsidized I would go straight to another provider. How can they continue to charge... — read more

I’m an active employee with a nice lump sum pension coming my way when I terminate employment (and also eligible for subsidized health care premiums). What are the chances that AT&T will eliminate the lump sum option in 2022 and go back to the... — read more

Personally, I don't see or sense that there's going to be any kind of Incentive Package to leave in 2021. If so, you'll hear in October. Good luck!

I left a little over 6 months ago. My situation has improved, but not as much as I had hoped. Sometimes I do think of what could have been if I had stayed, but I am reminded of why I left in the first place after reading the posts here. I guess this... — read more 

This was on AT&T insider today. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/05/business/media/cnn-vaccine-mandate.html CNN fired 3 employees for coming into the office unvaccinated. Pretty clear AT&T approves of this.

I’ve seen no benefit to working in office in office vs WFH. We have proven to be as or more productive due to avoidance of commuting, a bit more sleep, opportunity to take meaning exercise breaks and actually working more hours productively. If AT&T... — read more 

Yesterday, August 3rd, 2021 Anne Chow and team announced that there are currently no plans for a Layoff Package in 2021. It will be so interesting to see if that remains or is added to the corporate playbook.

Would you really be willing to quit if you have to return to the office? I know many are currently talking a big game, but when push comes to shove, I think the majority if not all will follow the rules and start coming in without too much fuss. If... — read more

Can it get worse at all? This company has hit rock bottom and it’s really hard for me to imagine a worse situation here. Although leadership always surprises in that regard.
