Anyone able to get unemployment benefits when voluntarily quitting?
Cancelled my Family Plan with Cricket
Had 5 lines with Cricket $160 on their unilimited plan with only 15 gbs of hotspot. Went with an MVNO, 6 lines, $140 or so and 100 gbs of hotspot. No brainer. While Cricket is solid their offers and price were very stale compared to the marketplace. — read more
Give us assigned seats
Why would any company requiring people to be in the office 5 days a week NOT have assigned seating? It makes no sense.
Make it make sense
Our new manager asked me to explain what our team actually does during his third week on the job. The kicker is that he came from a completely unrelated industry with zero relevant experience. Meanwhile, three qualified internal candidates got passed... — read more
Writings on the wall
The ASM surplus + the “Events team” are only suppose to send events and new fiber events to authorized retail + increased head counts in authorized retail + 3 new authorized retails locations(at least in my market) = RIP retail Mobile event teams... — read more
What is going on with Firstbet?
June 16 notice and 30 off payroll. Is it true that their severance is doubled if they sign a noncompete with T-Mobile and Verizon? How long are they bound to it? What makes them special? My source had no percent or flat number.
ASM lay offs in Oklahoma
Lay off here in OKC. Good luck to my other oklahomies. I am supposedly being moved down to RSC. I’ll be danged if they ask me to be a MoD or check in inventory or any other ASM duty. Good luck guys in other markets
Safe but for how long?
Our Org had an all hands yesterday. The Director said he thinks we are safe after the cuts that were made on Thursday, Only people who were "in office" for Bedminster and Alpharetta under Toretta got let go, and all of us virtual office and Dallas... — read more
Best Part of AI
Besides the look on Stankey’s stupid face when he realizes that it isn’t a magic pill that cuts all of your costs… the best part of AI is that it could replace Stankey and Legg’s jobs far easier than the actual engineers that build the... — read more
Stop sending people in to change sim / imei in COR stores
Cust care and sales support needs to stop sending people into COR locations to make changes. We can no longer help them. The new verification pin code / drivers license verification method does not work when a change has been made on the account. We... — read more
Layoffs
Cricket layoffs announced yesterday, 8% reduction cricket corporate- have to leave business by June 12th
People don’t know wtf is going on
Half the people I talk to nowadays either 1. Don’t know how to perform the job task assigned to them since the person had been fired or left for RTO or 2. Don’t know how to perform the job because they simply can’t and don’t actually possess the... — read more
3 Body Problem
I love that show on Netflix. Too bad T bought TW and not Netflix. Can you imagine having a real CTO from Netflix running T instead of the HBO Bozo Legg.
Asst manager COR
Did COR asst managers get axed today? If so was it all over or selected states?
Interesting meme popped up in my FB feed today that perfectly fits AT&T . . .
Challenging work will rarely drive hard working employees to resign…But poor leadership and unbearable workplace cultures will always have people walking out in droves
AI is going to eliminate at least half of the jobs at T
Even if that is proves to be wrong, it's still a great story for Wall Street. C'mon Stank, offer a voluntary severance of 3 weeks pay for every year of service. The stock price will double and most us will jump off the good ship T.
June Surplus Date?
Has the notification date been announced for summer Wave 3 layoffs?
Be grateful if you're laid off
Enough with the weeping and hand-wringing. You’re getting paid to walk away from a place that probably drained the life out of you. That’s not a tragedy. That’s a win. Some of us would ki-l for that kind of exit. So take the check, take a breath, and... — read more
5/29 Surplus notifications going out today
San Ramon office, various orgs received surplus notifications. Any idea on which groups were affected?
How large is this round?
It su-ks how little info there always is when layoffs are happening. It'd be nice to at least know what's being targeted. But I guess all we can do is guess and pray it's not going to affect us, because we certainly aren't going to hear anything... — read more
Can we please stop the greenwashing BS?
I see a number of posts internally and on LinkedIn etc. where the company touts its ‘environmental’ efforts. Saw one recently on LinkedIn about some recycling thing. What they DON’T say is how all these things are offset and then some by all the... — read more
Presence Report is wrong, again . . .
I was shorted 5 hours over 2 days last week. I checked the Presence report against the system log that is on my computer, as well as the records I keep on my own. I match up with the computer syslog. The presence report is way off. Everyone needs... — read more
Layoffs 5/29
Just got the call. Looks like some sort of management layoffs will be announced tomorrow
ASM Surplus and More Impacts to Regional Teams
It just doesn't end, this round is one of the biggest impacting ASM's and Regional Ops teams, jump ship now!
Stankey- DEI
"We don't have to roll back anything," Stankey told Yahoo Finance "Our policies and our approach at AT&T have always been that we progress people on merit” Not what he said when he announced after the summer of 2020 that AT&T would focus on... — read more
Same Old, Same Old…
Just as AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) rallied back to multi-year highs on repaying debt, the company made a small cash transaction to reverse the gains of the last year. The telecom has long struggled to produce solid investor returns due to attempting to build... — read more
Layoff Documentation
TP usage is being monitored and documented to confirm your p00p is stanky.
Stankey Legg & The Homewreckers
End the RTO B.S. and stop tearing families apart. What if we all just didn’t go?
When are we getting a new CTO?
Legg has failed to meet expectations. DEI nonsense and RTO avoidance, little Jerry cant face the music!
Q2 Earnings report in a month
This will be the first quarter of full RTO shown in the earnings report, how will Stankey and Legg justify the poor numbers?
When will Stankey retire?
I hope Stank retires soon and McElfresh doesn't replace him as CEO. We need someone who is okay with reducing all the waste (like corporate real estate) and can get us back to working like a tech company that sells connectivity instead of factory... — read more
What will the total employee HC be at year end?
Last count was approximately 141,000. They are ramping up labor reductions again so that number could fall faster than the last few years. Of course some of the numbers will be hidden with the Lumen acquisition.
Boohoo StankPot
Stank got his pa-ties in a twist last Friday afternoon because EXEMPT MANAGERS were leaving at 3:30 pm. Lol!!! Sent out memo demanding reports are triple checked to be sure hub managers aren't skipping out too early. But the 45% of his employees... — read more
Wrongfully spending
Why oh why? Dropping billions on an infrastructure that Lumen doesn't even want. Stock will be driven lower and lower. Only way out, pay off most of the debt. One thing you don't have to worry about is someone buying AT&T. Stankeys revenue... — read more
SE Power
Was told today there are talks of getting rid of Power group in SE and moving responsibilities and techs back under 4 wall management to reduce inefficiencies. Anyone got any info on this?
AT&T buys Lumen
It’s just a matter of time before they start giving out finger traps and having waffles parties as incentives. Oh wait, that’s been happening for years. All hail Lumen!
Legg Visit Middletown
Was great hearing from our CTO today at the TDP space on the 5th floor. Lots of wisdom imparted on us

Brutal
When will the brutality end 😢 I don’t mind RTO but to force managers 40 miles one way and keep the others who were supposed to move 200plus miles put, it doesn’t seem fair. I thought we were going to head back to our original locations but our... — read more
The betrayal cuts deep
The betrayal is deep for those of us that moved to a hub. I am not bagging on those that did not move -- more power to you but STFU on this post cuz you can not possibly resonate. I moved my family here because of our personal situation. AGAIN -... — read more
