Work load
Not that long ago when a Mgr was expected to work 9-10 hours a day. (Outside Mgrs that was the baseline regardless. Duty weeks were hellacious when you might get a couple of hours sleep a night but still expected to show up at the yard at 7am.) With... — read more
Fraudulent Downvotes
If the sudden increase in downvotes are in fact a fraudulent attempt at skewing an overall truthful perspective, then it is most appropriate that the perpetrators are too stupid to write a script to just downvote for them. Classic T. It’s like OM... — read more
Layoffs confirmed in socal Rancho
Techs and managers from the Rancho AM. He's been here a long time, he wouldn't lie to me.
Stress could be a synonym for AT&T
In the last three or so years, everything regarding working at AT&T has become stressful. Stressing about constant layoffs. Stressing about incompetent managers who are either looking for a way to take credit for your work or blame you for their... — read more
AT&T loses in age discrimination case

The Ducky Boys showed up Today
It wasn't pretty. Raided vending machines, hit all the elevator buttons, parked in reserved exec spots, used nothing but change in cafeteria, and used politically incorrect terms. One even wore a "Diversity is A Sham" tee shirt.
Manager announcement Cleveland

Just asking...
The maximum views on this site for any post is 2,500. There are 255,000 AT&T employees, so does that mean 252,500 either don't know thelayoff exists, or if aware, care less?. Could it be the vast majority are satisfied with the status quo?
Oh and in case I don’t see ya,...
Good afternoon! Good Evening! And Good Night! I became fully vested after 3 years with the company and I put in my two weeks notice the next day. Own your life. AT&T means NOTHING. We will all return to dust. You live a single mortal life. Carpe... — read more

The Dow Tumbles 599 Points Because the Market Wasn’t Ready for Trade Talks to Fall Apart, or maybe because Stephenson is a fuking_Idyot
Collaboration Zone Mayhem
It's like Warriors, Longest Yard, Oz, Lord of Flies, Stallag 17 all wrapped up into one. Fighting for a piece of turf every day. Mean Streets Day in and Day out. Maybe Scorcese will direct a new film...."Collaboration Zone".
What degree of surplusing are we talking about?
Given that the speculations about mid-May layoffs are, in fact true,I would like to know does anyone have any idea on how big of a wave of layoffs are we talking about and in what orgs will the layoffs be conducted? I imagine the folks that claim to... — read more
Upcoming Surplus Information
I've seen a date of 6/15 being tossed around with an off the books date of 9/15. Also some information appears to be more generic and is based on quarters instead of specific dates. Surpluses are spread across multiple regions / unions. Field... — read more
CNN impacted layoffs to follow
The only problem with that spin is that buyouts are layoffs with some compensation attached. In other words, “voluntary buyout” is corporatespeak for “layoff.” Generally, if “buyouts” aren’t accepted by enough employees, layoffs follow. For all we... — read more
RANDALL mastered the art of BS to a new level

Business call centers very slow!
Are all business call centers slow? We haven’t been getting a lot of calls for over a month now.
Stop talking about collaboration zones
Stop talking about collaboration zones (they are "engagement zones" now, by the way). It has nothing to do with anything. Was used as an excuse to get rid of some people, and that's all. And was hardly representative of all people laid off (those... — read more
What should we do after being laid off at T?
I’m not looking for answers like: start looking for a new job. Of course , that’s implied. What I mean by this question is should we try to apply at other companies it the telecom sector, or should we try to look to change the industry and seek our... — read more
Congratulations on your new 5gE network
I have to admit I was a little skeptical about your 5gE network at first but after trying it on my iPhone 5 it works great. I wonder when you will build your 10g network so that I can try it with my iPhone X
LDP (Leadership Development Program) vs College Hire Program
As I was laid off recently, I saw many new college hires (start date of June/July). Are these college hires the same as the Leadership Development Program or is this something different? I would hate to imagine how many LDPs were hiring every year. I... — read more
What orgs are on the chopping block next week?
This question , of course, stands only if the rumors about cuts in the following week are true. If they are, in fact, true, what orgs could bi the object of cuts. Has anybody noticed any symptoms that cuts could come at their location and what... — read more
Update: San Diego Premise Tech Lay Off Mess
FACTS: AT&Ts plan was to lay off PTs by inverse seniority, by yard, in Santee, Carrol Rd, Ruffin, Mira Este and Midway. (Otay was not in AT&T's list). The union insisted to AT&T to instead pool all the PTs in the local in one list and lay the off by... — read more

Does AT&T still have to abide by the section 272 compliance mandate?
This is all about the pension plan
It's been my belief since the layoffs began that the company is targeting those who are grandfathered into the pension plan. The whole " Collaboration Zone " b---s--- is merely the smokescreen they're using to do so because the EEOC would crucify... — read more
The true purpose of this site...
is comedy relief. There’s nothing useful being posted anymore other than a few funny troll posts to get me laughing. The majority of posts are just stupid questions only the executives would know or people (including non-employees) complaining about... — read more
The day after lay-off
So what do you do the day after a lay-off? I counted my blessings I woke up. Thousands around the world don’t. The automatic coffee maker had coffee ready so I counted my blessings I had money for coffee. Wife and kids are up as well. All in good... — read more
A funny thing happened on the way to layoffs
Long story short, my org lost about 15% of a specific title (I can't say the title because it would give the org away to the director level and I can't risk that). All were older, eligible for retirement (though not by much for several of them). The... — read more
stop bashing att. its the best job you would have ever hoped for

If the layoffs didn’t happen on Friday are they gonna happen next Week?
I mean layoffs in a larger, organized manner, not “a few here, a few there” what we’re seeing almost every day. Has anybody heard any solid info . What could be the targets if such a wave happens? If layoffs don’t happen next week should we dismiss... — read more
What is it with all these class actions against AT&T?
There is close to a dozen crying securities fraud. Now if it was 1 or 2, I say ambulance chasers. But, with many more than that onboard, obviously there is something and if it does pan out, it's gonna cost a lot.
Confirmed downsizing today?
If the layoffs posted today at At&T are true, I’m glad my group didn’t get hit. Sounds like it’s another day of rib-eyes and sweet tea to celebrate continued employment!
Finally pulled out of AT&T
Sold my last batch of stock today. Maybe it was a good idea or maybe it wasn't but there is so much negativity and dishonesty surrounding this company and with their debt load I honestly see them imploding sooner rather than later. My guess is the... — read more
Downvoting of comments negative to att
Management must be paying trolls to do that. It’s getting more and more prevalent as this company gets worse and worse. It’s really starting to tick me off.
