Debt and more deb
What’s changed at ATT? They no longer even try to invent the Next Big Thing. Instead, they buy it, using their multi-billion-dollar cash hoards, to increase the next quarter’s profits, and the bonus payouts, layoffs, and cheap labor. When interest... — read more
CSR
I saw on the CWA website the surplus, and there were some CSR last quarter and this quarter, so, no one is really safe.
Who else is looking forward to Monday?
I don't know about you but I see this as a great opportunity to build a better future.
Store closing?
We have been told our COR store is up for review at the first of the month, and now on real time sales is showing all of the RSCs AND "Shop and Go ####." Is this a sign that we are going agent?
You will find a way!
Relax folks... it's not the end of the world. Millions before you have survived this very same thing, including me. I had 22 years at Nortel and was laid off with no severance because they filed bankruptcy. Top level management was as corrupt as the... — read more

Security
Why did AT&T hire more security guards? We were notified via a meeting today.
Oh, well...
On the nonmgmt end the worst part is seeing people sitting up there with 40-50 years service who won't retire because they are taking care of grown kids & grandkids The people that have less than 15 years are being let go. It's sad that I am 45 and... — read more

Class Action Lawsuit
As poorly as this Surplus has been handled, a Class Action Lawsuit is very winnable. Its not too late to pull the plug on this thing and limit the damage. The Lawsuit could end up costing the company ten times the savings they could get from the... — read more
How do notifications come for non-Call Center folks
I wonder how affected folks working in corporate offices get notified if they are chosen for termination. Is it with a phone call? Email? Does a faceless HR drone summon you into an office with other victims for a mass killing, or is it a one-on-one... — read more

WE are their biggest customer base ....how about a survey on Willingness to Recommend now ?
This is the most horrific thing I have experienced and for them to send a promotional email out with the SAME verbiage as the surplus calls just goes to show the lack of concern, appreciation and does NOT follow their preached KEY BEHAVIOURS. How... — read more
Frustrating Situation

Denver, Tulsa, and Missoula O&Os
Is anyone still hiring at the Denver, Tulsa, and Missoula O&Os? This is some shady stuff going on. No one in L&D knows what is going on and are being told to travel or get fired. Morale at the center is as low as it can get. I went to a meeting where... — read more
Retail Markets Merging
It's comin! Your market may not exist soon and you all become one with surrounding ones
Any news about the Bradley org? Lots of rumors coming out of Atlanta and Seattle about the device team, service integration and marketing team.
Wondering if overlap areas like advertising, finance, communications and sales ops will be impacted and non overlap teams like device and app marketing are in the clear. Anyone have news about it?

I know my time is coming i just wish they would just get it over with. I don't know why they are putting it off. I have been told it would happen before the 27th. Just trying to find out when I should be expecting it to happen.
