Our F2 Engineers are c-ap anymore!
I know our engineers have never been anything to brag about but, lately it’s like some of them can’t even write out a cable count on the print. Not typos but, down right wrong and this s..t is put out there on job prints for the techs to straighten... — read more
Florida regional manager stepped down
So I guess all the supposed “gaming” finally caught up to Florida. Heard the regional manager for Florida stepped down before getting canned due to all the gaming in the field. Anybody know if there’s any truth to this?
I think Randy will pull this off
It is not about customer satisfaction. It is about profit. Shareholder value. Those of us that have always prided ourselves in taking care of each and every customer really have no place in the modern At&t, WE are dinosaurs, We have so many customers... — read more

Are we really the worst big company in the business?

Cost saving measures now leaves first responders at risk. If Firstnet sectors that go down after normal hours they are now left off air to save overtime for on call techs!!! So for example if X sector covers a fire station and the sector fails on... — read more

We need better products and services

Why don’t they just decide what are they gonna do with DirecTV?
One thing is for sure, things can’t stay the way they are now, not with this kind of decline of business and the decline of customers to this degree. There are many options, the selloff of DTV, a reorganization, merging it with WM, dismantling it... — read more

Adopting the Warner Media culture?
Warner media looks to have been doing fine before AT&T bought it, and AT&T seems to be a broken company in so many ways. Is it possible that AT&T adopts the Warner Media culture and the way to conduct business, instead of taking a perfectly good... — read more
ATT's long slow death?
I have disagreed with many posts here lambasting ATT CEO. however I guess like a broken clock that is right twice a day, the criticism of ATT management is spot on. How can Jeff Zucker not be fired yet? how can Randall still have a job? WTF is the... — read more
Are layoffs quarterly?
Layoffs are generally quarterly, mid March, June, Sept and Dec. Is this true? I'm new to AT&T and I'm still trying to figure out how things work here. I didn't expect I'd have to start worrying about being laid off so soon after starting, but here we... — read more
If T wants to succeed they need to do the following:
1) Slash their wireless prices to be on par with European pricing models. Won't make as much per customer, but will greatly increase the customer base. Akin to selling one Ferrari at $100k or two dozen of them at $10k each. ( A lot more folks out... — read more

Signing Off
Was hoping to view this site in order to pick up on professional tips regarding surplus information and legitimate leaks regarding reduction announcements.
based on 2019 budgets, how is there not a 30-40% reduction in headcount?
will they really allow people to sit around again waiting to do work? this is bizarre and why i cant stand being here waiting for the hammer to drop. just stuck in limbo, dont want to leave but knowing this cant go on.
The wave is coming
Watch career path. Anytime you see an obscene increase in job openings know there is going to be a layoff.
No one is picking up the pieces
The bloodbath of layoffs basically wiped out entire teams of people who maintained entire networks within the company. Since their departure, no one is picking up the pieces. Requests for service come in and there is no one left who even KNOWS that... — read more

Will we ever have a good company culture again?
My guess is no. It takes only a second to destroy what was built for years , if not decades. For me it’s not just a question anymore of whether I get to stay at T or get cut. An equal punishment for me at this point will be staying at a company with... — read more
