Couldn’t be more proud of my coworkers who gave honest opinions on the employee satisfaction survey. You clearly hit a nerve and triggered a historic response. He fell for it and went viral. Next step. We no longer participate in your surveys.

Retirement age soon. I don't need the severance but it would be sweet karma if I asked to get layed off after decades of ducking it. How do you ask? Our org is hiring. Could it still happen? Real advice please. Sarcasm doesn't help. Thanks in... — read more

All the 1B managers for customer support desk have gotten their walking papers!

Our manager met with us to go over their survey results. They weren’t good. Now they are asking us (their direct reports) to write their action plan on being a better manager - this is exactly what a manager does and not a leader.

It’s been gone for so long, I don’t get why it’s still a topic. I guess we all had to pretend for a while, until it stopped being sustainable and no amount of corpo fluff could cover it up anymore. Our workplaces became theaters of cruelty and... — read more

So do we now sell potatoes at AT&T?

It's not every day that a CEO's 2,500-word response to an employee engagement survey goes viral. But that's exactly what happened last weekend, after AT&T CEO John Stankey sent a memo to his managers that my colleagues Dominick Reuter and Katherine... — read more 

Never take another survey again, of any kind. If participation is below 50% it’s invalidated. That’s the only way to fight back now. You’ll never see the results of this survey, just like the last one.

Stank is hilarious. Two years ago eating hot peppers in flannel jammies, now touting the tough grandpa image to get back to work. What a lump of play dough! Retire and chase kids off your lawn already.

It’s only been 2-3 years. When will we finally get it right?

AT&T CEO John Stankey's viral memo says the quiet part out loud about the broken state of the corporate workplace. https://www.businessinsider.com/att-ceo-memo-workplace-loyalty-dead-employees-job-security-2025-8

I’m glad we’re putting an end to the AT&T welfare system. Y'all can go work security on the night shift and sit around doing nothing or move back in with your parents and do as much WFH as you did previously.

For those of us who are no longer with T but still want to stay in the loop? Thanks!
