RTO changes nothing. If anything it’s made productivity plummet.
I show up at the office. I sit there for 8 hours to the exact minute. All I do is hang out, talk to people around the office, scroll on my phone and watch Netflix on my iPad. The best part is with this new 8&skate culture there’s really no pressure... — read more

Wow -- I received notification that the AT&T Guarantee is working!
AT&T sent me an email that I will be receiving a $0.33 credit for multi-hour internet outage earlier this week. AT&T, in the kindness of their heart, rounded up to make sure I was fully compensated for the outage. And to make it even better, I only... — read more
Salesforce - the nail in the coffin

Company laid off the engineers and now forcing techs doing the zero pen.
Company laid off a bunch of engineers , and now is forcing techs to do the zero pen jobs that fell to them. The union is so stupid , they didn’t even argue for a differential pay for its members. Company is saving millions making techs do the... — read more
AT&T stepped in it now with RTO
Don’t look now, but it looks like the first shoe dropped . A major federal case on telework just found that RTO for telework was uncovered as illegal and exposed for its real intention of a way to force workers off payroll. Since being laid off a... — read more

EG Conference
LOL. They got tired of planting employee questions from the audience. Playing Jeopardy - made up their own questions to answer. Too funny.
There’s no question that AT&t is completely a mess
Stankey is a sociopath. I took an offer in July after 45 years. The company treated me fairly and their benefits and support are above average imo. The problem is that this company has no idea of what’s going on. I believe that they’ll be acquired... — read more

Easy way to remove excess fat.
Catch me up to speed on AT&T
I got laid off last year which was the best thing that has ever happened to me. What has been happening since then? Is RTO still strict 5 days a week? Are they still tracking hours?
