Long story short: Worked for AT&T for a long time They paid for my BA degree They paid for my MBA They eliminated my job They paid me severance to now take customers away from them Sometime the grass is greener......

Well looks like all device support centers will be closing their doors in February 3rd. Thanks for the 30 days notice ATT. Losing 600+ people and no explanation. The customers are already feeling it and are not happy.

Remember when your parents forbade you from seeing your high school sweetheart, and you responded petulantly, “You can’t stop me”? If so, you may get a case of deja vu from the latest drama between AT&T and the FCC. Insisting that it has a plan to... — read more

All I here is retail store layoffs, what is going to happen with IEFS techs?

Has anyone heard a number around how many will be cut?

The ARSM role will slightly expand. Only teacher's pets will get those jobs. The ASM role layoffs was stage 1 of 2 just as it was for the RAES in 2016 and then all fired in 2017. The next round you be sitting around happy about being selected as the... — read more

Latest reorg (layoff) announcement for retail - would someone tell me which positions are affected...from this site I see ASM and RAE - did it go higher than 1st level?

AT&T is way too top heavy with high paid managers that contribute nothing meaningful to the company. your thoughts?

Company says pivot, complete this self development training, watch and execute these leadership videos, go to MMDP, etc. and many of us do. What happens? Boom, RAE position gone.

Does anyone have any insight as to how all of the past year's upper exec move:departures are related? Curious as to the implications for what the new org will look? (Upper exec e.g. De La Vega, Ciccione, Kent Mathy, Cathy Martine)

I know its probably kind of early to be posting this but since AT&T has announced the ASM layoffs and offered for people to "opt in" has anyone actually done so yet? If you have share any insight you may have. Pros cons ect.

Being that they just eliminated all ATT RAEs, how long until they do the same on the Cricket side?

During the announcement call for RAEs yesterday the HR person spoke of "new opportunities " rolling out for RAEs in the near future, but was very cryptic. Now my ARSM is treating us as BAU, and telling us that "how we conduct ourselves and the... — read more 

I'm just wondering how many of you also were expected to do unrealistic amount of daily documentation and had to take it home with you unpaid? If I requested OT then I was coached to not prioritizing my time while on the clock.

I know most RAE really don't like the idea of going back onto a retail sales floor however upward progression is seriously there. With the acquisition of cell world and red Skye there are a ton of DM's and even RD's that are struggling with the scope... — read more
