Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth commence.
I just got a new supervisor based a few states away.
One that has no idea what we do. The former supervisor was just moved into a Level 3 position because that's basically where he was with AT&T. He's a micro-managing jerk who talks out of both sides of his mouth. Guess that's why he was welcomed by... — read more

Corrupted to the core
Successful companies put their employees first, they hire and retain employees based on their "Strengths" which "Makes For a Stronger company" At AT&T initiatives such as Pathway 20/20" , and "pivot your skills", illustrates incompetence at the... — read more

When will the axe come down on Indirect/Authorized Retail for good?
Will Indirect Authorized Retail support end on 09.15.2016? 11.15.2016? 04.01.2017? No reasons for these jobs anymore. NR is a joke. AEs leaving in other markets I heard. Some idiot AEs working super hard to get promoted. Good luck with that one... — read more

Are managers allowed to tell
Are our managers allowed to tell us they have been surplused? Do the surplused managers have to pretend they wanted retirement or that they choose to be transferred? Several of our managers were (we were told) offered jobs elsewhere. Our trainer was... — read more
Center storage
I feel like the center I work for is being used for storage from closed centers. We just keep accruing junk. Boxes and boxes of worthless junk. The center is dirty they never vacuum and from the crap they are storing there we now have bugs it is... — read more
Like, did anyone get a job internally after surplus?
You heard, "we're gonna do everything in our power to help you find a new position" "this isn't your fault it was territory based" "you get priority for interviews as a surplused employee" WHAT A JOKE!!! I'm sure that was the ARSM and Director script... — read more

A View from Above
As I near the end of my career with AT&T I'd like to use this forum as a way to reflect and possibly provide some guidance to those just starting theirs. I have been with AT&T for over 25 years and have been surplussed a few times but as I've... — read more

4Q Surplus Round
Have these been announced? Do we know the date and scope of who will get the middle finger from AT&T next?
Severance and working for Authorized Retailer
Does anyone know if you can still take your severance policy if you take a job with an Authorized Retailer (like Spring)? I figure they aren't an AT&T subsidiary.
Lay offs
10 years with company and I was in the first group to go. Several hundred were in group 1 from vps all the way down to staffing people. ABC noted 10,000 announced over next 3 years.
More Layoffs in the Works
I can tell you that 70-75 management level (not necessarily management) positions are being eliminated and the news will be released very soon. This is just phase 2 as this happened this time last year as well. We can expect more of this every year... — read more

AT&T New Mission Statement
This one never gets old....... We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.
Indirect Layoffs...
Be prepared for another indirect layoff in November...it's coming. This is not going to stop until indirect internal employees are just about gone. 2020 people, the writing is on the wall.
Hiring
We have. Two new classes in central Florida. I guess they are keeping my center. What a relief I was very worried.
Severance pay?
Anybody who chose option 2 received their severance pay yet?
Bottom Line Only
ATT does not concern it's self with the details. All they are concerned with is the bottom line. Dumping senior people( employees over 10 years ) via downsizing then hiring contractors allows them to save 401 k and health costs. Think about it, why... — read more
