Junior Tech Thoughts
I am a SE ST with just shy of 20 years. I have been through numerous surplus processes, had the gut wrenching worries and the long hours of suspense working at my brain. Believe me it will eat at you until no end. The bad part is you can’t really... — read more
After you get surplussed, grab your pension and run
I am surprised that ATT has not already halted the pension lumpsum? Interest rates are basically zero, which means your pension value is at its max payout. Realize that pension payouts change drastically, based on interest rates. You are... — read more

Whistleblowers
Can someone please leak this c-ap to Tucker Carlson again? Or any other news outlet, willing to expose this horrid company and unethical drawn out excuse for layoffs? This is getting ridiculous. Again, how much in tax cuts did they get?... — read more
What's planned for EMEA?
Does somebody know what's planned for EMEA (UK, Germany, France ..) and how many jobs are affected?
There are so many better ways to do this
ATT is one of THE most profitable businesses in the US, has no need for a 7% dividend, and has a massive amount of debt to pay back. Stop or cut the dividend! Pay back the debt faster! They could cut salaries of those over $150K/year 15% and save... — read more
This would be funny if it wasn't so pathetically sad
AT&T turned HBO Max into a superhero with a comic book I don’t know why either I don’t think of streaming services as heroes, mostly because streaming services are not real people, and most of them are owned by multibillion-dollar conglomerates... — read more
Job security
Can somebody name a company that offers job security most of the time? Not always, I know that's not realistic, but most of the time? I'm sick and tired of having to worry about having a job every single day. It's exhausting. There's gotta be a... — read more
We are stuck with this for months?
Did I get it right that somebody in the know said yesterday notifications will take place this week, this month, and even after that? So now we are stuck with this nerve-wrecking suspense for months? Well, I guess AT&T never fails to disappoint in... — read more

How many total stores are closing?
And do we know if more will be added to the list any time soon?
Employee in Mississippi test positive for covid
ATT in store employee tested positive for covid-19 and store hasn’t closed. How pathetic for customers and employees safety
HBO MAX will never be able to compete with Netflix
Seriously what arrogance to try to compete with netflix in their domain where they excel and they are experts and not only that, but wait for it....charge more than netflix does with an inferior product. HBO MAX should charge no more than $8.99 per... — read more
SE voluntary offers 685 outside techs
Anyone taking the offer? My I&R FT buddy is taking it, has 40+ years service but he’s only 63 yrs old. Said he can’t take this madness anymore, AT&T current leadership is incompetent and should have been fired a long time ago. Now the employees... — read more

Why att want out of Telephony
AT&T wants to be a wireless, content driven company with a fiber footprint. Period, end of story. It does not want the following: Dial tone - they don't want to deal with it anymore. Data networking, it failed at SDWAN as it was too late and... — read more
Retail Closings *What You Need To Know*
Looks like a lot of stores that are closing were just recently opened or not performing. You can look at MyResults and see what locations are still not open post COVID to get an idea. Run historical on their numbers - it makes sense. RSCs - get... — read more

What was the point?
The Power of “I’m Sorry”
After sitting on numerous conference calls, watching town halls, etc. I have to come to an important conclusion. As a 20 year employee who has spent time in both non-management and management, I just want to hear “I’m sorry”. None of us can change... — read more
at&t mgmt can even manage to F up a massive layoff process
inept at every turn
NEO Open Mic.....
going on right now. Most likely another useless call discussing changes that are occurring due to layoffs/reductions. Layout is always the same regardless of org. We are facing difficult challenges. Change is needed. Restructuring is... — read more
Have there been any calls/information within the Arroyo Org?
Just wondering. So far nobody I've spoken with has heard anything or seen a meeting invite. WTH? I'm not nearly naive enough to believe the layoffs won't hit anywhere in that group. But this silence is just ridiculous. All it does is k–l... — read more
