Don’t forget to do the employee survey!!
Let your frustrations be known! They asked for it.
Slashing jobs to cut costs isn’t strategy
It's failure. And T keeps doing it. Wall Street might not see it yet, but morale and quality are tanking. How does leadership - or more likely, the main culprit Stankey - keep missing the long-term damage these layoffs cause?
Hybrid 3 days RTO is coming back
Hearing it from multiple reliable sources.
Decaying Relay Sites Need To Go

Severance for May surplus employees
Did anyone that got laid off last month get their severance yet?
Interesting comments from Jeremy Legg today in the 1057 ribbon cutting . . .
He actually mentioned that occupation levels in 2018 for AT&T were around 60%. He failed to mention that we were a 3x hybrid company in 2018 so 60% would be the maximum occupation on average for most groups. Either he is an idjut or the biggest... — read more
