I know there has been a number of comments regarding the FBO transition to Accenture and that it appears to be temporarily on hold. I'm retired now (L2) but was in that organization for a number of years. Can anyone tell me what the original timeline... — read more
The $6B TMobile Breakup Fee all told
Cost ATT more than $100B. The spectrum they lost they had to go back out and reacquire at a premium and what TMobile did with that cash and spectrum has cost ATT far more than $80B in lost profits over the past decade. TMobile's growth % after that... — read more

Finally done with AT&T
Yesterday was one of the happiest days of my life, I filed my last tax return with an AT&T W2. I was laid off October ‘18, and it was the best thing to happen. Don’t believe the BS randy preaches, opportunities are abundant outside the Death Star.
TMobile and Sprint are going to eat
ATT Wireless Lunch morning, noon, and night. They won't set their cross hairs on Verizon bit it will be open season on ATTs subscriber base. They can barely maintain it now.
Trying to bring Mobility back after they destroyed it years ago
When AT&T took over Cingular in 2008, Mobility was the growth engine for the growth and margins to offset loses on the wire-line side. Every year growth was a net negative 2% or something. in 2013 to 14 they began to reduce sellers on mobility only... — read more

Pay Raise or lack of
My team was notified today that we will be going over our yearly evals and told what our pay increases are but our Director told us to not expect much if any this year. Has anyone heard of them not giving pay raises this year? He said just because... — read more
What’s up with the FBO transition to Accenture
It’s been going on 2 weeks management is radio silent, saying leadership has concerns? What????
AT&T is now #3 officially. LMAO
have randy and john done anything right? this is unreal and forget about HBOmax and the streaming strategy, they are dead last too. WHAT A CLOWN SHOW
For the younger guys LEAVE!! AT&T is a career dead end
I am seeing a lot of people 5 years in with the company desperately trying to leave or got surplus and can't find a job. You are not learning anything worthwhile!!! The key is to look at what you are doing now. If you are doing anything you can't... — read more
Calling it quits and found another job.
More secure and more rewarding. The stress and waiting for the axe had me drinking more, sleeping less, and just not feeling it. 16 years, some good, some bad, but the past 3-4 have been just no man's land with no progression or good feelings about... — read more
They wanted me to go to India for
2 Weeks to train. I asked if there were incentives for me to go to India and the response I got was "A Better Transition". I nearly laughed in their face and declined. They really thought they could get people being shown the door to go to India to... — read more
there used to be an att employee only reddit community. Anyone know if it gem still exists? If not, who’s down to start it back up?
Pension balance over $100K
If I leave should I simply roll to IRA? There is no extra kicker on it if they force me out?
Cell Service has been out for periods
Lately and data is slow. Anyone else lost cell service for hours at a time? Has happened several times in the past few months.
Will there be layoffs this week?
Heard some rumors, I hope they were false.
Are there spies and agents on this board
Or just trolls? Other companies have had executives post in sites under aliases. Is there cyber posting of aggressive moves from both sides?
Offshoring Billing seems like a recipe
For disaster. Not the same standards in India.
Will they still carry the NFL package?
Did they lose it be for 2020?
Like a pack of African Wild Dogs working a Buffalo
They just nip and pick at the legs non stop. Little by little but very quickly until the buffalo can't stand any longer and goes down. They literally eat the buffalo while he is still alive. All long he was just too slow and meaty for the dogs who... — read more
Benefit of retirement?
I’m almost 40, and am about 13 years from retirement. I guess I’ve made it a little over 1/2 way. I’m not currently surplussed, but am so tired of being stressed that any day could be that call. I see a lot of companies are hiring, and I’m so... — read more
ATT TV Now
More like ATT TV Never. DOA!
Non commutable job offers and unemployment
Lets say you are surplussed and decline a non-commutable job offer. You "leave the service of the companies" and collect severance based on years of service. Can you also collect unemployment since technically the company let you go or is death... — read more
Stankey and Stevenson handed a
Gatling Gun to TMobile along with lots of bullets. TMobile didn't hesitate and they didn't miss. Who does this? The same crew that buys Direct TV on the brink of massive cord cutting. You can't make this stuff up. Ten plus years of buffoonery and... — read more
DIRECTTV is a JOKE, biggest drag on AT&T by far
Easily the biggest thing wrong with this place and the largest laggard in the collection of sub groups under the giant umbrella. Most employees in this vertical are terrible, being a loyal sycophant is rewarded more then trying to do any... — read more
What happened?
Most companies have layoffs, and some bad leaders mixed it. It’s just the nature of corporations. I think most who sign up to work at a large corporation expect that going in. But something is different here. It’s not just BAU corporate America... — read more
ATT overpaid into an era of Content
Saturation. So many shows being pumped out now like a geyser of mediocre content. ATT always overpays for the asset in decline and brings on a boatload of debt to do so. Wireless and Fiber has been neglected so they could chase their Hollywood's... — read more
Severance Check
For those who took the management voluntary offer.. is there a line item on your pay check that says "Severance Management Involuntary?" As if they did a switcheroo
Your Feedback on PI
Most of the PIs that I have been to are such a waste of time and company $s. What happened to the idea of controlling travel to save some $s to company? Hosts of these PIs seems like event managers but paid salaries at Principal levels. Several... — read more
AT&T's Stephenson stands by promise to remain CEO through 2020 but refuses to look beyond that

Fat Cat
I hope someone figures out that AT&T is extremely top heavy. Why do they need 5 levels of Vice Presidents? If they would just eliminate 2 layers it would save millions.
Mair Town Hall

Who actually decides to put people on surplus
I'm from ATO and I'm hearing such a thing from my supervisor that it's up to HR/Upper Mngt/other BS Mngt that selecting people to be surplused it's NOT up to direct supervisors. Is it really true? How do they know which people need to place on... — read more
