New structure will be announced this week along with surplus announcement. New leadership/way of doing things takes place towards end of week. Advisory Council announced Friday is just the start.
Keeping the employees at status quo
Not sure why people want promotions when a 5-10% raise comes with a 50%+ increase in the amount of work and responsibility. AT&T's salary bands have effectively become a salary cap for most L2's. Raises are cancelled out by inflation and increases in... — read more

Going down
T is going down. The executive team is completely lost.
The ‘AT&T’ business model
The future is contractors to design it, contractors to build it, eventually contractors to splice it and turn it up. Contract with the low bidder, greatly reduce overhead slashing jobs and ruining families, no liability, no giving a damn, reward... — read more
Are raises and promotions a thing of the past?
It’s not just that we have to be fearful of getting laid off, but we also have to make piece with the fact that it is nearly impossible to progress at this company. Of course, how could we when regular workers are getting cut and the number of... — read more

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

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

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?
