Charlotte vs Dallas
If you are forced to relocate, which one would you choose to relocate and why?
WBD have eaten Stankey's lunch!
Yes, that's right. Stankey & Stephensen paid top dollar to acquire Warner Media, then sell it to Zaslov @ WBD for pennies on the dollar, then WBD is acquired for more than at&t purchase price. You can't make this stuff up, Stankey is the laughing... — read more
RTO woes
We are a family of 4, with 2 in elementary school assigned to go to ATL but I asked for Dallas and manager and VP were ok to Dallas with no confirmation from HR or ATS. I don’t have a choice except to move as I have single income. I am super scared... — read more
they need 20% of Leg T techs gone
VTPs incoming! 104 weeks! Low guys are getting a job offer guarantee 1-7 states away to fill the gaps after VTPers leave. Word coming down next week. Have fun with allllll that.
Whelp
It’s 2:30 here at HQ. I’ve met my 40 hour requirement for the week so it’s time to head home. Man I love Summer Fridays!
Stankey, the Board, and C-Team driving the dividend rate up again . . .
Of course, they have to ki-l the stock to get the dividend rate back to the 7% of 2012. However, Stank will claim it is a victory and the useless board will reward him.

Get this loser stankey out (stock cratering)
The culture is trash , no flexibility , no happy employees , no performance ,you run a company like it's 1980 ...this is what u get ..get this loser ceo out now !!!!
Executive Fireside Chat
What a load of sh!t this all is. You don’t care about any of us. If you did you would have respected our survey feedback last year. People want flexibility, none of the other BS does anything for anyone.
Lack of accountability from executives
How can you mess up a company so badly and never answer for any of it? Are we in a TV show and they have plot armor? What is it that's keeping them untouchable despite so many failures?
Anyone here moved to Dallas this year?
Just wondering if anyone was asked to move this year?
VSB canvas again
Another quarter another canvas for VSB candidates here in the west with no surplus ever being declared. F you HR people. Just offer ESRO across the board.
Why Are Lies Necessary?
Why does management say presence reports aren’t really scrutinized anymore? Bull, if anything they are used even more. Why do you claim we have flexibility? Bull, we need approval in advance for Caregiver & WFH if we’re sick- that’s babysitting, not... — read more
John Stankey Open Mic
John is hosting a Dallas ONLY (sorry non HQ people) open mic today. Highest rated question from the chat I will stand up and ask.
Shared workspace.
I was diagnosed with shingles a week ago. I've been going to the office all along and plan to keep going in and using shared space. I'm not going to waste a sick day being actually sick. I'm trying to use a different spot every day. Enjoy.
Anyone else thinking of quitting?
I really hope I get selected this layoff wave otherwise I’m thinking of quitting. Anyone else feel the same? I was planning on waiting till next year but I don’t think I can make it.
As we move into survey season, remember only 73% of the employees responded . . .
Stank tried to spin the metric that 79% of the employees that did respond felt committed and engaged and used that number as support for his policies. He did not share the next metric that if only 79% of those who responded felt engaged/committed... — read more
We would have benefited from staying in our lane
T is like an enormous dinosaur lumbering through the telecom space. Had we cared for the aging dinosaur by making sure our fiber footprint and customer service were robust, we could have survived the times we are in now. Instead we tried to weave... — read more
AT&T downgraded ahead of SpaceX IPO on coming broadband competition

Virtual
When will virtual employees be asked to move to a hub?
Silent layoffs
Major layoff rounds don't scare me. Those come and go and by the end of them we know where we stand. It's the constant silent layoffs that are destroying me. They can happen at any moment to any of us. That's the real problem with T. That's what's... — read more
It’s over!
I need to relocate my family of 4 to hub in 2 months. My spouse has lost her job recently and going through tough time emotionally. Anxiety is taking a very big toll on us and I don’t even know where to start with the move. So much to do to in terms... — read more
Bloomington closure
Planning is underway at this time for first quarter closing of the Bloomington Minnesota center and building.
Network - Wireline/Landline Reqs
Mobility build de-emphasized in capital allocation. Fiber build emphasized in capital allocation. So, where are all the REQs for wireline positions to manage the fiber build? There ain’t sh-t on workday.
Survey Decoder for “Leadership”
Leadership seems to need a decoder to comprehend the results, so here it is. The negative survey results are not about healthcare perks or wellness programs no one uses, they are only about RTO and the lack of flexibility. “I am proud to work at... — read more
Lost direction
I joined this company as a young blood years ago. Worked hard, built successful products aimed to grow and still doing the best I can. However I got busy with life, siloed to a Specific area where I am unable to land another job even after 3 years of... — read more
Workplace culture is dead
Along with pretty much all of the company's institutional knowledge - both gone with all the key employees who either left or (most often) were forced out.
10 percent over next 5 Years
10% over next 5, wireline craft starts Q4 2027.
When do notices this month go out?
Is it 6/12 or 6/15?
I couldn't care less about this job or this company
I gave up hoping it would ever get better, or that my role would see any meaningful improvement or progression. I just hope the job market improves in the foreseeable future so we can all find better options. One thing I'm sure of - I will never work... — read more
6/15 lists turned in?
Have decisions already been made for notifications later this month?
Don’t Forget
The damage caused by the Stinky 8/1/25 email can never be undone. For most employees, the message was loud and clear: your concerns don’t matter. Your feedback doesn’t matter. Your time, family, commute, and quality of life don’t matter. Whether... — read more
The only question these days is when, not if
I've accepted that my time at AT&T is finite, and that the end will probably come sooner rather than later. I have to tell you, that realization's actually been freeing in a way. I don't feel the need to give any extra effort or sacrifice my evenings... — read more
Would ATT eye Charter or Comcast for Acquisition
Stankey is licking his chops looking to make some moves on the streets.
