After much editing Burt Reynolds face has been replaced with Stankey. "Stankey's Machine" is coming out Spring 2020.

At this point, AT&T still looks good on a resume. If it's not a positive (and for many companies it is) at least it's not a negative either. But with everything that's been going on, I think that might change soon. And I don't want to be still around... — read more

Applying for other jobs while still employed is much less stressful than waiting til the final hour. AT&T employees have great reputations in other industries, so use it to your advantage.

Jon summers had a unplugged session in St. Louis this afternoon, anyone who was able to attend let us know if he said anything of substance about layoffs or outsourcing please?

I think enough time has passed to sum up how these people were treated at work, from their superiors, after the strike. Did any face any sort of direct or indirect retaliation? I would like to get some experiences?

Is there anyone out there who took all the WF2020, AGILE and nano-degree training and then wound up in a well budgeted, stable, productive project; or was it just JD's pipe dream?

Been working for this company since I graduated high school so I don’t know how it feels to work for a better company. But I know this isn’t what life is supposed to be like. Over worked, exhausted and forever on a surplus list.

Or are we done with that at least for now? Can a company like At&t eve afford to outsource its operations at this tempo?

I was present when Randall made his announcement about the 2020 plan. People keep misquoting what he said. He did NOT say 30% of the workforce could be let go. He said T could “GET BY on 30%” of the workforce. That means he was looking at a 70%... — read more
