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!

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 

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.

I am NOT naming names. I am just saying that ATO is one giant cesspool. I have never seen such callousness at the AVP level. And I have worked in many different silos in this company. ATO is by far the worst. These AVPs almost seem GLEEFUL when they... — read more

Just got notice that all OOR connected communities AM and ARSM were surplussed effective June 1st. Whitrock already ruining people’s lives..... didn’t take long

Has anyone heard rumors of this? I truly would not mind if this happened. I don’t trust my AVP...

101 San Diego premises technicians are going to get surplus and need to be off of payroll by 5/23.

Think how many employees have DTV only because of the $10 a month deal. No sense in paying orders of magnitude more for the same sub-par content and stupid infomercials.

Any one know the numbers yet? It should of been leak right?

Wonder what they are offering... heard its raises and nothing else but 4 more years of last contract.

Out VP told us the SVP we are under committed to outsourcing 500 jobs to Mexico over the next year and we will hear of letter coming out for voluntary layoffs in about 2 weeks. Target is to have them off the books early July.
