How dangerous is to accept working from home in this moment?
I was an office worker but last week my manager offered me to continue doing my job working from home. Even though he stated it was absolutely my choice, from his tone I could tell that for some reason he would be more satisfied if I accepted the... — read more

Why the Boomers Don’t Leave Voluntarily - The Age Ceiling
I replied, in an earlier post, “The Age Ceiling is a very real, silent, invisible ceiling.” Invisible because any hiring manager, with half a wit, can read a résumé and determine your approx. age by your job experience....they won’t and, by law... — read more

Age a liability
Is it just me, or has age become a liability at AT&T?
Is it worth the risk?
I got an offer from a startup - good job that fits my interest perfectly with good pay - but I'm still hesitant to accept it because it's a startup. As bad as AT&T is with layoffs, at least I know it will still be standing ten years from now, which I... — read more

Wire techs to get shafted and moving FT’s over to cut down on dispatches.
Management Concessions
For those management employees that were surplussed, how long did it take for them to remove the concessions and go back to paying retail pricing? Was it in the first month, two?
Did AT&T make any obligation not to fire WM employees within the acquisition deal?
To tell you the truth I’m not familiar with any technicalities regarding the specifics of the acquisition deal so forgive me if this is a question that most of zou know the answer to. Did AT&T make a promise to keep the worker headcount at Warner... — read more
Warner is not financially ill
They've said they want the content producing parts of Warner to get bigger, to go head-to-head with firms like Netflix. Only place I see any cutbacks is areas like payroll and HR, where there would be duplication with the parent company. And many of... — read more

A blind man can see where the layoffs are going to come from, and it is going to be from segments that don't contribute to earnings.
On the last earnings report, WM was not part of the Entertainment Group. On the other hand, landline telephone was part of the Entertainment Group. I'm hoping going forward, that Warner Media continues to be reported separately, so it is easier to... — read more
