So AT&T calls this their main and flagship office location. This office is a pathetic excuse for an office. I feel like I am in a 3rd world country. There is no parking. Cars park illegally everywhere and drive over the speed limit. The parking... — read more
Bridging the Digital Divide - the good old days
“Bridging the digital divide” “No job is so important, and no service is so urgent, that we cannot take the time to perform our work safely.” I miss the good old days when it felt like AT&T served a higher purpose. Now that I know it’s all a facade... — read more
Someone is reaching out to Business Insider about the layoffs, right?
Seems the RTO slow march towards getting people to quit without severance was a little too slow and AT&T did things the traditional way yesterday. Anyone have the contact details of the Business Insider folks? Gotta name and shame!
Stop Bleeding Money and Talent – End 5-Day RTO
If this company is truly serious about cutting costs and improving performance, the most effective step is to end the five-day RTO mandate. AT&T spends enormous amounts each year maintaining office space through real estate, utilities, maintenance... — read more
Last chance to change RTO before the point of no return
I’ve been here just over 10 years since graduating college, and in that time I’ve seen it all. The broken promises, the bad decisions, and the constant spin from leadership. Through it all, I stayed because I truly like my job, the work I do, and the... — read more
Enough Already.
Stop! Just Stop! We are all just complaining way too much about friggin’ everything. Hug your spouse or partner. Hug your child. Sh1t, hug a stranger and you should feel better about it. RTO - I know many of you were f&ck3d, but you gotta get... — read more
Stankey continues to implement his buy high, sell low philosophy . . .
Even with stock buy backs!
Remember the $20Bn buybacks?
The stock buyback plan seems to be working in reverse. Instead of creating shareholder value or paying down debt, billions have been poured into buybacks with nothing to show for it. The stock is sliding, the debt remains sky-high, and the company... — read more

Anybody in Milwaukee area get hit?
Lame Anti-TMO spot
This is how we’re hitting back? I don’t think this is making the TMO leadership sh!t their pants. The cellphone equivalent of Wi---e Horton this is most definitely not.
How are people getting severance?
Did I miss a layoff round, or are they quietly letting a few people go here and there to keep it under the radar?
11/6 layoffs
Any additional updates? Organizations impacted: Legg, Engineering Ops, Arnoldi. Who else?
AT&T is a "Value Trap"
Share price continues to decline after earnings and sales misses. Fiber deployment might be necessary for survival but its not a growth strategy. Fiber is mostly business related - with the economy slowing expect less growth or decline in fiber... — read more
Our Stock is down nearly 10% this week
And we’re over paying a C list actor and someone in marketing to call out T-Mobile? A competitor whose stock price is 10x ours. We’re doomed. WTF!
A year into 5x RTO… and for what?
We’re a full year into mandatory 5-day RTO and what exactly has it accomplished? The stock is tanking, morale is gone, and the “culture” they promised doesn’t exist. Wasn’t RTO supposed to be part of some grand plan to save the company? To drive... — read more

141k Employees v. 13 Board Members
One board member’s vote represents the opinion of 10,846 T employees. Do they represent your thoughts about the current state of the company?
Stock below $25
Next stop: sub $20. RTO isn’t working… time to adjust plans and policy in order to save this sinking ship
Stank warns of bonus impact from cashflow miss
Loved how on yesterday’s internal earnings call Stank opened up with T missing its cashflow plan so bonuses may be impacted. Seriously? You can’t manage cashflow so make the employees pay? Also loved the comment about using corporate tax reductions... — read more

How did Stankey earn his position?
Amdocs was founded in Israel in 1982, and partially acquired by SBC in 1985. What they don’t tell you, is the project that led them to being acquired so fast, was actually the first android project in the world, called Project Stank. It’s not... — read more
567 - 875 - with a stock price under $30
RTO is really working! “If you don’t like it leave” is apparently the same thing baldy said to our customers, and they’re leaving.
AT&T: The Company That Sells “Connection” but Can’t Connect With Anyone
AT&T loves to talk about connectivity. The “AT&T Guarantee,” the shiny ads about “bringing people together.” But the only thing they seem to connect is frustration and disappointment. Check the reviews — 1 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot. One star. For... — read more

Hurry up and quit to people not in Dallas
I am getting so sick of my Teams calls, meetings, and emails getting hijacked by team mates not in Dallas and literally talking so much that no one else has a chance. You guys aren’t the only ones who are working. We have to give our updates too and... — read more
Q3 Earnings Call Summary
No bonuses because you didn’t do Stankey’s job for him Pascal and Stankey should be in a home The AT&T Guarantee cures cancer RTO works but doesn’t work because of employees and we’re starting new hubs Be mad at T-Mobile ads, not us
Growth
Welp sounds like work will be moving
Did this mo--n really blame the crackdown on illegals for slow growth?
That's just some next level stupidity.
“Normalize not backfilling”
I understand tools like Copilot help pick up the pieces. But, That’s insane to say.
Why do they think the AT&T Guarantee is this groundbreaking idea?
They keep shoving this down our throat like we're the only ones who don't understand why it's valuable? No one cares if they get $5.37 refunded to them when their internet was out for an hour. Also, customers expect to be compensated for your service... — read more
Is there somewhere an official RTO Policy & Procedure Document?
I see so many exceptions, I just want to read the whole thing. Where to look for this RTO document? I am not asking for sharing it publicly, just tell me where to look and I will find it.
Please, please stop complaining about RTO!!!!!!
Yep, commuting is a major pain. But... Location is part of the job. Management decides based collaboration, and customers.... Also, some roles will always stay hybrid. All other will alwasy be 5 days in the office. THere is no discrimination here, it... — read more
Please be sure to be recording
during the ATG “live only” event this afternoon. You never know what illegal / immoral/ offensive stuff will come out of the CEOs mouth. And that stuff needs to be shared.
3Q Earnings
Stankey tried to put lipstick on a pig but wallstreet isn’t falling for it. Down another 5% at the open. When will the dysfunction end?!?!?
When you show up to the miserable employee competition and your opponent is a T employee
If you think we are a telecom company, think again. BlackRock owns ~75% of T, VZ, and TMUS. How is it possible Stankey is still CEO after the historic TMUS, DTV, and TWD blunders? Because Stankey doesn’t work for T, he works for BlackRock (“the... — read more
“If we want to lead…
it’s critically important that we stay focused on growing the right way and removing costs from our business”. From Stank hole email this AM. Guess what “cost” largely is. Got a mirror?
RTO: a massive failure
Well, we have dropped like a rock since the initial RTO 3x and are plumbing new lows with 5x. All the academics and studies are saying it’s a failure. The future workplace is remote. This is just the last gasps of a dying high cost business model. I... — read more
