It's not as bad as I thought it would be...
Not good, either, though. AT&T Inc. posted a 4.5% drop in revenue from a year ago and withdrew its forecast of 2% revenue growth for the year, saying it can’t provide a financial forecast for 2020 due to the coronavirus... — read more

Earnings report in and in a quarter that Netflix showed record gains, we lost about 900,000 more TV customers. And the spin "focus on long-term value customer base". Do we have any of those left?

What other channels are being laid off?
Has anyone received a culture survey?
Supposedly there’s a random culture survey for non-essential employees gauging thoughts on return to work.
Tomorrow's the day...
Not long before we find out what's the newest thing Randy and Stankey managed to mess up...
VP of East Business forced retirement
Announced today, very shady
Will there be cuts this week?
AT&T has a perfect opportunity to adjust the employee number and cut costs under the guise of coronavirus pandemic. Whatever the earnings report says, I'm thinking right after they'll use that opportunity. If not this week, then before the end of... — read more
Where is HBO MAX When you need it?
It would be nice if they could boost revenue with Early release of HBO MAX. Considering the exhausted amount of money put in it, as well as the licenses they kept instead of renew with other companies. So what's the hold up?
Illinois Manager Positive

IHX during Quarentine

CWA D3 1Q Surplus
For those who were announced to be surplused and off payroll late March, were you informed of a new off payroll date and able to jump into the job pool?
AVP - now that's a waste. WHO NEEDS AN ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT?
that position will be the first to go.
Office Space-2nd Largest Corporate Expense
In this era of extreme expense cutting do you think AT&T will be smart enough to recognize that bringing everyone into offices is an expensive mistake?
this web site deletes posts that it does not agree with
I ought to report this site to the SEC to investigate for insider trading. It would be an interesting case. The legal fees would run into the millions of dollars.
12 layers of management
think about that for just a bit. That's absolutely crazy considering the budgets available. I don't want anyone to lose their job, but we all know there is major overhead here.
Minimum value segment rates for March
The segment rates for March went up considerably from Feb. I’m a little confused why this happened . I’m aware it’s somewhat tied to corporate bond rates but interest rates have not Changed. I’m guessing there’s other market forces at work? Can... — read more
Earnings report on Wednesday
How do you think it'll go?
executives donate salary
Many ceos are donating some of their salary to help offset costs to the company they work for. Just disappointed.
don't get too comfortable
we might be safe for now but wait until this is over, that's when we'll see the worst of it. if you think outsourcing was bad before, just wait until they realize how many jobs can be done at home. and when they realize that, they'll realize they can... — read more
I honestly don't know why you stay.
Left 4 months ago. Best decision ever!! I honestly feel bad for anyone that works for that garbage company. I would hope anyone who is rule of 75 gets out ASAP. They are stealing from you at this point. Time, life, energy, etc. .. — read more

Transforming Our Business - An Update on Progress
Check your inbox. Video sent out from Stankey with him, McElfresh and the Angel of Death himself, Bill Morrow. Expecting Bill Morrow to gleefully outline the carnage headed our way.
Any chance work from home will stick after this?
There are plenty of us who are not allowed to work from home otherwise, unlike tech support, but we are now doing that and there's nothing that's impeding us in our work. We are as productive as when in the office, if not more. And frankly, I prefer... — read more
AT&T struggling to be heard in Washington DC?
On Tuesday, Trump announced a list of CEOs that will be advising him on when and how to reopen the country’s economy. AT&T was NOT on the list, but Verizon, T-Mobile, Comcast were. Also, last week AT&T announced former RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie... — read more
Another Great Ratty Decision - TW Pension
If you management, you probably just got an innocuous email about T's Annual Pension Funding Notice. Read it if you are legacy T Management, or TW. I thought the Legacy T management pension plan was in bad shape, it is, but TW is REALLY in bad... — read more
Layoffs in Illinois construction/I&R
Can anyone confirm that layoffs are coming to Illinois's I&R and Linemen groups? Chicago seems to be the area with any significant work.
Is this guy for real?
How delusional do you have to be to think AT&T management is making smart decisions? Honestly, other than a few "feel-good" moves made to garner some positive coverage in the last month or so, I can't think of one smart thing AT&T has done in the... — read more
Don't WE own CNN?
Watching Chris Cuomo rant tonight and a CNN commercial comes on "thanking" front line workers. Okay so far. Images of the hero Doctors and Nurses - good. Images of EMTs and Firefighters and Cops - still good. Images of a Postal Worker flinging a... — read more
Any word on IHX ( in home experts )
Im currently working from home which means cold calling 8 hours a day. They guaranteed our pay for March and April both salary and a target commission but there is no way they continue this without doing layoffs. We are more profitable and yes more... — read more
Job titles for Managers
Has anyone heard rumors of HR working on a job title restructuring project? I heard they are evaluating the different managers titles and pay scales and streamlining. Not sure what that means or if it will impact pay.
Is it possible?
Today is the first day in a long while that I have googled AT&T and only received positive coverage on the first page. Mind you, it's all the same subject just covered by different media, but still! I'm so used to seeing negative coverage that this... — read more
Collaboration zones, work place 2020, work places period!
How will social distancing be practiced? Hiw will the workplace look? Will all employees wear masks and gloves to work ? Hum! I would expect sick people coming in the office and not staying home. What are your thoughts?
AT&T is a telecom company. Period!
Is it just me or does anyone agree that AT&T just needs to get back to the basics here. Yes, size this company. Dump all of the Hollywood bs and let’s build a true superior internet network that’s none other and people will pay for a quality service... — read more
Is it too early to call AT&T TV an unmitigated disaster?
And with that, the whole Warner Media deal?
