The number of layoffs this week alone are all the proof you need of what is looming. Massive subscriber losses and piss poor mergers and acquisitions are taking their toll. Bankruptcy is coming and will be Randy's legacy.
How does bumping work in district 3
Can anyone explain how bumping works in the southeast , district 3? And does it matter if the surplus is “economical” vs “technological “ ? Also, where does it end. Can a tech who’s been bumped then go bump someone else ?
Why is there no news coverage?
I tried to give my family a heads up about the surplus event on Friday. That if they heard anything on the news, this is what is going on. But there was no news event. How does At&t keep this layoff out of the news headlines?

Plans after ATT? Time for a career.
Been on the surplus list several times and honestly, I’m tired of the instability and so is my wife. You can’t plan a family around this, there is no way. But I’m optimistic. What are you guys plans for the future? I’m eager to hear.

Believe Chicago! Believe in Layoffs!
AT&T is helping so many communities with their Believe Chicago social program by laying off the people that live in them. What a pathetic corporation full of phonies. To all the techs that volunteered to help them look good, got you s---ers!
