Oh, was that not motivating enough? Well what if we completely fu---d you over and made you commute for 2 hours a day? Oh well, I tried. I cannot figure out why the employees are not happy or motivated. Time to give myself a 5 million dollar... — read more
Took a year to explain "market-based culture"
...and it's still hilariously vague and meaningless. Our execs are an absolute clown show. These people just throw buzz words around like r.e.t.a.r.d.s. and expect us to be amazed with their genius. I guess they've been up at night trying to figure... — read more
Important market based culture update
From Darcie Henry in your inboxes this AM. I won’t read whatever nonsense this is, but hoping someone can just translate for us whatever new intentional misery this will be bringing to being employed here?
Thanks Darcie
These market based behaviors are a game changer.
Plano
Wow... Went to plano for the first time in a long time. PRESS chief of staff has a reserved parking spot and office.... Nutty
AI keystroke monitoring???
Anyone from IT Security here? Are they monitoring keystrokes and applying AI to it? How much is activity on your computers surveilled?
We are #1
A quick search asking which companies on Layoff.com has the most activity….. these are the results. Not sure if this says more about the company or its employees. AT&T Accenture Bank of America Amazon Comcast Cisco Cognizant 8... — read more
Survey Results Decoder for “Leadership”
Leadership seems to need a decoder to comprehend the results, so here it is. The negative survey results are not about healthcare perks or wellness programs no one uses, they are only about RTO and the lack of flexibility. *“I am proud to work at... — read more

Commuting to the Office to Work Remotely From the Office
There are absolutely times when people should be together, but in reality those times are few and far between. If the work actually benefits from being face to face, great. Get everyone in the room and get your sh-t done. But that’s not what 5x RTO... — read more
Plano still 3 days week RTO?
When is Plano going to 5 days week in office?
Time given to report to Dallas
How much time is given to relocate to Dallas? Do you get a choice of Dallas or Atlanta?
I joined AT&T excited to grow
Instead, I got no training, no mentoring, and assignments outside my skill set. So much for my expectations.
Legg "Training"
Wow.. For someone who went to Brown..... It's funny to thing that Legg thinks he is the next CEO
Hayes IAM All Employee Meeting on 16-Sept
3hr end-of-day call for his entire org plus the legal AVP and HR Principal that are usually "optional" invitees. There's already a 1hr Town Hall on 26-Aug, and three weeks notice for the invitation seems like an awfully long warning for a "you're... — read more
Parking at Ross
Waiting as long as 15/20 mins for a shuttle. One elevator at a time calls. Weak ACs on bus. Hot hallway and elevators. When are they going to fix this???
Less pay, more peace
Traded the AT&T chaos for a warehouse gig. Yes, I get less money, but I actually sleep at night now.
Finance department
How is 308 s akard st building. Is the office older than whitacre tower?
WFH = sc--wing off
Change my mind.
It's happening. 5x RTO mandate is about to crack.
Enough people around Stankey have finally gotten in his ear and policy changes are in the works. Senior HR leadership is preparing to roll it out in the next 6-12 months. It will be presented as a "change to presence report requirements." It will... — read more
Reduce pay for remote workers
Why isn't AT&T cutting the pay for all remote workers? Guarantee you 90% would stay even with a 10 to 20% pay cut. Make it happen and stop torturing the rest of us. The expense and inconvenience of commuting 5 days a week is outrageous.
AT&T Guarantee
How do executives think the AT&T guarantee is a good thing? If anything, it’s a complete middle finger to the customer when their internet is out for a day, and they get $2.32 refunded 30 days later. Are they just THIS out of touch with normal... — read more
ACS nightmare
That was one heck of a call today. We are going to lose 50% of IOT customers and new leadership doesn’t care. Who’s ready for this wild ride?
Pro-rated Bonus paid in 2027
If I leave in the 4th qtr, say Nov 1 would I get 100% of the bonus next March? Is it pro-rated quarterly?
Labor(less) Day
First week of Sept - next mass announcement. Strap in.
Seriously, why John Stankey?
What are the benefits of having him represent AT&T?
AT&T Is Being Propped Up by a Bad Job Market
Let’s be honest, most people aren’t staying because they’re happy here. They’re staying because the job market hasn’t given them a good enough reason to jump ship yet and they still need income to survive. But also be honest about what that means... — read more
RTO
Anyone moved to Dallas this summer?
Adios
Just stopped by to thank the current employees for keeping the ship afloat long enough for my pension to clear and hit my IRA. I wish you all the best. Severance is a great thing after hitting the MR75. Good luck to you all!
He-l on Earth
He-l would be better than working for this boomer dinosaur company compromised by contractor corruption and Israel. Come in the office 5 days a week to talk to Indians on teams, so Stankey makes more money when . Soul su-king.
You can tell things are truly broken when people have two competing fears
The first one is getting laid off. The second, and more revealing one, is not getting laid off because that means staying in a place we hate, watching the ship slowly sink while we're still on it. And I know of more and more folks who feel this way... — read more
“I was there.”
Average hours report is broken and they apparently can’t fix it. So enjoy WFH for the rest of August. If anyone asks why you weren’t in the office, just point to the inaccurate report. All you need to say is “I was there.” Can’t argue with the bad... — read more
Recent COBC Finance Layoffs
What’s going on with all the surprising layoffs in Finance that are being attributed to Code of Business Conduct violations? Is there a broader issue or trend that AT&T employees should be aware of?
Layoff notice
Got the layoff notice today which was originally suppose to be 7/1. Got paid for 12 weeks of maternity leave and never been MORE glad to get the Surplus Letter. Another job lined up + a huge severance and PTO payout. Starts have aligned and will... — read more

Is RTO Finally Starting to Crack?
Rumor around HQ today is that easing the 5x RTO policy is actually being discussed and could be on the horizon. If true, it would be about damn time. The employee feedback has been clear. The commute is draining, morale is in the toilet... — read more
