Laid off beginning 2018, retired instead. Some of the laid off techs were higher in seniority due to a performance evaluation they now do so longevity is no longer protection. Used to get DTv at a employee discounted cost but AT&T raised it over 400... — read more

I've had enough. Customer service has only seemed to step of the lies to customers and we techs have been directed to do the same which I want no part of it. Been a tech for 7 years and will be out if I have to say "you want fries with that?" Am so... — read more 

Any idea why they are providing this listing of how many are eligible/ineligible by job title and age?

Network is no long core to AT&T now that it's become Hollywood. ATO is being run by an accounting beancounter with no Tech or IT background for a reason. She just is there to cut and clean it up and it'll be sold off. Take the package and run. This... — read more

Lets call a two-day STRIKE and really show them that we mean business.. We didn't get the "surplus" numbers that we have been rumoring about. So we will take 2 days off and show them we really mean it this time...

2 weeks for every year, so in my case thats 72 weeks. Plus get the full-ride medical insurance. Also in my case an age + service kicker, which in my case is $500/yr for a nice kitty of $47,000. One more thing: negotiated additional $5,000 to go for... — read more

Does anyone have some concrete information to share?

Anyone in ATO actually receive the offer letter yet? Or likely by end of day?

Are the people who get the offers mostly the only ones being considered for termination? If enough don't volunteer, do the remaining people who had offers lose their jobs anyway, or is there a different 'cut list' if there are not enough volunteers?... — read more 

No numbers but yeah west DTV techs getting hit hard today.

Just received heads-up email from Melissa Arnoldi that "many of the ATO US based management team will receive offers today".

Small business would be taken over by BAT!!! Layoff begins for small business team. #Go4Growth doesn’t mean Layoff people!!! Smh!

Brage organization. Nothing to do and can't wait to get package.

Please enter location and how many tech have been surpluses in the comments below. Let’s utilize this as a tool to see what is happening to the field we work in. Thanks all and God’s speed to those effected.

Layoffs are going to be common place for the next few years. Anyone who's been paying attention to the transition from a TDM based network to an IP based network knew this day of reckoning was inevitable, particularly when the end game is 5G wireless... — read more

If at$t did not buy Time Warner Cable (it was bought by Charter Communications) then why are we seeing Charter Spectrum. employees installing at out Call centers? puzzling

So much speculation, but do we actually know something concrete about today? What can we expect?

Was in a meeting discussing news from upper management and it was said there will be an offer, meaning managers will be offered a year severance package. This is not an early buy-out. It was stated that this offer is wide open and that if an entire... — read more 

Gotta pay for it somehow!

All we see here is this is gonna happen or this is gonna happen and nobody ever backs up what they speak. No evidence or proof!

So it’s been said the Phoenix call center is closing their last day 8/17 and 30 surplused in Austin Texas by now a lot have been told who else out there has info

The field has some many unethical secrets that should come to light. It goes way beyond jamming up msoc numbers . It's constant harassment and intimidation towards employees which caused techs and managers to commit suicide. We turned a blind eye on... — read more 

It appears to be an increased monitoring and targeting of people to attempt to lay folks off. Just don't get out of character because they are looking for any reason to lay people off

So now there is NO NEWS. This has been in the works for years. The time is right. This SITE S---S. No one really knows a damn thing but they put 💩 on here.

Promote positive thinking. No layoff announcement. We here at att do not like that language. It is so negative and we are trying to promote a happy hip young culture. We prefer to refer to them as a force balancing surplus situation. The surplus... — read more
