Rumors flying around Dallas about VTP happening soon in Leg T union contract after ratification.. Voluntary Termination Pay up to 104 weeks pay will be happening.

Leadership seems to need a decoder to comprehend the results, so here it is. The negative survey results are not about healthcare perks or wellness programs no one uses, they are only about RTO and the lack of flexibility. “I am proud to work at... — read more

Someone mentioned there were gonna be Level 3 & 4 layoffs. What happened to this rumor?

OK, who did it? There is a new sign up in our breakroom stating it is against company policy to microwave fish. Well played. I mean, I'm a rule follower. So I am going to microwave some asparagus and broccoli tomorrow, but not fish.

Public sector employees were told on Monday "don't get sick, don't take care giver days, don't take bereavement days, especially don't need surgery that will require an extended absense. Basically just work anyway.". Apparently they need to... — read more 

When? Which department?

Wonder how this will impact jobs?

If I am chosen and plan to retire instead of move, what happens to my annual bonus for 2026? Is it prorated or nonexistent? In past years, it was prorated, but since the packages have changed, they don't address the topic. I could ask my AVP, but... — read more 

Literally in the Deep South after a major hit of an Ice Storm, AT&T not sending any equipment or accessories! Shelves are bare and nothing to sell, but no quota relief!

Up 16% since the earnings dropped. Silly haters.

Yes I know HD has nothing to do with our business and what we do. Just FYI, they announced mandatory 5-Day RTO. This may have already been posted, if so, my apologies.

How can this position be labeled hybrid if we’re required to be in the office five days a week? Isn’t that misleading and discriminatory? I’m really frustrated that this exists in our company. "This position is hybrid, and you may be expected to go... — read more

Increases shared with mgrs today and they SU-KKKK! Get ready for 2% or less boys and girls

Every one of the leaders should ask THEMSELVES this question and think about the “deposits” they’re making with the employee base. You have no “money in the bank” with the employees since you fuxed everyone over with 5 day RTO.

Potential employee here. I know 5 days per week in office is the official policy, but is it actually enforced across 100% of teams? I know a lot of similar companies have RTO policies on paper, but they aren't policed. Thanks in advance;

In the corner cubicle, shadows my throne,
Forgotten by bosses, left well alone.

Dodging the axe that felled my foes.
Now retired, with... — read more 

Why would anyone vote no to ratify the Leg T CWA TA? It looks really good for all of us in it.

Start looking for your next role today, but do not quit. The market is absolutely awful, worse than it looks from the inside. I was laid off and with twenty years in the field, it still took me forever to land something new. Being unemployed puts you... — read more
