Does AT&T still have to abide by the section 272 compliance mandate?

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

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 

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

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.

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 

West director announced a 8% reduction for managers. Target day to be off the books is June.

8% reduction targeted. Initial volunteer emails to go out today. It is for this quarter with June timeframes. Network managers with crews part of this. Inside (CO) and outside.

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...

Everyone is too busy back stabbing one another to try and safe themselves from the sinking ship

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.

My manager was hinting that a notice of surplus will be announced tomorrow for us Premise Technicians. Is there any one else that had heard similar?

did you guys from the 3/29 layoff got your severance money yet, i know the documentation says up to 45 days, just wondering if i did something wrong or checked the wrong box on the MESA website.

Fill it out... they track it. Just tell them how amazing this place is. This is yet another metric they use. Be smart folks! :-). You are a happy employee. You LOVE working here. :-)

99.9% of the employees at AT&T have no input into the vision of their company. So for that reason it makes complete sense to set your own course - for your life, career, health, family, and future. This is true if you are an entry level employee or a... — read more
