So I understand. Survey results will likely bash RTO and management will likely stand firm. So what exactly is the point of survey if you don’t want to listen to employees and what they want. This isn’t a debate about RTO, it’s a glaring example of... — read more 

Poking around in webphone, pulled some reports, there are 223 AVP’s and above that have no direct reports. Giving away the big $$ for nothing. Perhaps HR should put some focus in that direction.

At least ATT got the wrong information out on time this week! That is an improvement, right?

In NJ all I see is Indians in their Tesla, after a six months tech online course AT&T gives them a full badge of employee. Dept of labor counts them as jobs but really they are hired in India and AT&T will not hire a USA college graduate.

This place needs term limits or the ability to demote mgrs. If you have a dud mgr nothing ever happens to them.

How in the world does Korte's organization get away with 300+ staff managers working remote & non-hub? They have them tagged as "market support" which is total bullsh-t. They sit behind a desk all day. They aren't in the field.

AT&T sounds the alarm on falling customer numbers https://finance.yahoo.com/news/t-sounds-alarm-why-customers-163300570.html

But he expects the employees to trust the leadership if/when they deliver the results of the employee survey. I know . . . They Don't Care!

Just stop. I'd rather be short-staffed than keep training people who don’t care. It's exhausting doing your job, their job, and then repeating the same thing when they quit a month later. I've had enough of it.

Any Legacy T old timers out there who remember the Job Aid 9?
