Will the retail layoffs come in phases? If so when were the first stores notified? I’m only asking because we keep hearing about the possibility of layoffs but nothing has been confirmed. Also will RSCs get an opportunity to migrate to a virtual... — read more
Ditch the name AT&T
Just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Employee's hide their badges, don't wear corporate gear, and don't recommend the products. Just far too much negative connotations associated with the name.

John Oliver
I don't agree with everything the guy is about, but he is smart, funny, and entertaining as hell. I am wondering how long he will last, as he loves to eviscerate big T (now his employer) at every opportunity. Check out this last Sunday 6/14 show... — read more

AT&T bad for Fiona's personal brand.
Fiona Carter was one of the few AT&T execs I had any respect for. The last time she spoke at a town hall she told the others the truth. They didn't listen and things got worse. Her sudden departure tells me that she concluded that AT&T was harming... — read more
Its time for us to Organize to win!!
WARN Act clearly states the 60 day notice can be bypassed given unforseeable business circumstances and if its violated, there's a 500/day penalty for the employer. It also states that we must be told why the 60 day notice is being bypassed. In... — read more
Don't get too comfortable
I see there are people who think we are done for now, and I believe they couldn't be more wrong. For a company the size of AT&T 5K employees is nothing. It's barely 2 percent of the entire workforce. Do you really think they consider that enough? I... — read more
Florida CWA SE Surplus Hit Hard
How was Florida hit so hard when there are so many people moving in??
Targeted Surplus
They kept saying this is going to be a targeted surplus, but then at the same time said it's going to be across the whole company. Basically it's targeted the whole company. Then what the phuck about "targeted" ? just drop that word "targeted".
John Stankey Wants Us To All Stand Up And Fight For Justice And Equality
That means every American worker of this company that isn't an overpaid executive needs to walk out and picket for their job security and working conditions. Thanks Stankey, that's a really good idea you came up with!
Who is getting 100k?

People managers will be hit harder than non-managers
An interesting thing is that these reductions will be blamed on COVID when it is really all about high dept (thanks Stinky) and the Elliot Management Group demanding better efficiencies. After all, how many people do you think really turned in their... — read more
People managers will be hit harder than non-managers
There are two directives. First is the overall reduction in headcount of 40% and then there is the increase in span of control for all people managers. If all you did was cut 40% of people and 40% of managers, the span of control would remain the... — read more

WTF was that? Mcelfresh recorded town hall
What was that? A bunch of nothing. I thought it was supposed to give details and info. Not a "we are doing this because' and "no mistakes, it's a good thing". What the actual F.

DEG leaving AFO-Business. Moving over to NEO-Core Network Operations with Central Office
Found out on Director call this AM. Business Field Services gets screwed again. It's been a roller coaster of good and bad (mostly bad) since 2005 when T SILO'd everything up. Guess this will free up "Business" Field Services to work even more... — read more

Anyone know how McElfresh is able to bypass the 60 day WARN Act?
It’s been said there is a new 14 day off the books notification happening. That goes against the WARN Act ... even TMOs layoffs yesterday mention 60 days in accordance with WARN. How is AT&T planning on getting around this law?
Expect 14k layoffs,
My source laughed when the official announcement was made, she told me to "Multiply the PR campaign reported announcement x3"
CWA puts the cumulative number of job cuts at 41,128 over the last nine quarters.
If cuts were spread evenly across all salary bands, that would imply about 10,000 layoffs, a much higher number of job losses than the CWA's figure. Cuts of that magnitude would come as little surprise, however: AT&T slashed about 3,310 jobs in... — read more
Is it 3,400 or 4,700?
Half of the articles I'm reading say AT&T is laying off 3,400 employees and the other half is saying 4,700? Which is it?
