Dear John. We would like some market based accountability on your dismal performance as Chief Ego Officer. All your inflated projections that don’t make a dent in your very poor performance. If we are treating talent based on performance you should... — read more

Once again, left 1/2 day, might even telecommute tomorrow, didn't update MOOSE, but my boss won't know, because they aren't here. I won't get in trouble but still getting paid. People get mad, but it's just because they are jealous that I am one of... — read more

D9 techs are safe
They just backfilled more comm techs in D9. We are safe and have a long career ahead of us.
Change is coming …
I can smell it in the air…. What are you hearing? Something big? What does ATT look like in 12 months?
Remote work is better. The “leaders” fighting it are just fighting reality.
The biggest thing leadership still doesn’t understand is that “the office” never created any value. The employees did. Remote work existed long before Covid and for good reason. No wasted commute time and cost. More time with family. More... — read more
NJ Surplus
Why are directors getting axed? I thought hubs were safe. Why are they surprising folks? Did T target all pensioners or did they surplus non-pensioners too?
John Stinks famous ….
John Stinks famous phrase is { If you think about ……. } and it’s blah blah blah tacked on to that phrase. All the C Suite execs say the same phrase. News flash. Stop thinking John. It’s not going well for you. The company would be far better off if... — read more
Are virtuals getting an unfair pickleball advantage?

5 million subscribers to 10.3 and accelerating ...
Don't look now but in order to keep EBITDA in line, more and more layoffs in the future. The SPCX call painted a clear picture that subscriber base is just at the beginning of taking off like a rocket. 5 million to 10.3 in ONE YEAR ...
Stick a fork in the trade in tool
Really ? This trade in tool is what our company put out there ? It has outdated promo's. Even if you select the promo you want - it will trade in the device for the lesser value - not bad huh, nice way to rip off customers. And who types this stuff... — read more
Dear John Stinky
For Gods sake please leave John. Nothing you will do will brighten AT&T’s future. The damage you are doing will lead to the company being bought out. Your ego has you frozen in place. You are the reason not the employees that the company is going... — read more
UHC Medicare Advantage PPO question
I got surplused 7/31, meet the MR75 and am eligible for Medicare. Retirees can sign up for company sponsored Medicare advantage PPO with $150 deductible and $900 out of pocket max for free. Seems like a great deal. Anybody else doing it, or are there... — read more
I’ve never seen so much open distrust, criticism, and disengagement from work as in the new generation of corporate workers
Why do the newer generation of corporate employees (<30) seem to have little connection to this company and view it as a paycheck? I’ve heard the most insane criticisms of management and antipathy towards the firm in the halls of Akard. Was it always... — read more

What Type Of Career Path Do You Have With AT&T
Considering an offer for a sales job selling firstnet, fiber and other services to government accounts for those of you that have been with AT&T for more than 5 years what type of job do you have and do you see a career path for advancement?
AT&T shut off my POTS line
Well Att did it. They turned my phone off. Worked for them for 34 years. When I retired in 1993 I think it was. They said free Ld and phone for the rest of your life. Well guess what I’m still alive. They lied
They say they want a market-based culture. The market has been speaking for years.
AT&T used to compete for the best talent in the country. Today, it feels like we’re competing for the best talent willing to relocate to a handful of hub cities and accept five-day RTO. The people walking out the door aren’t just headcount. They’re... — read more

The more I think about layoffs, the less they make sense
Managers know who's dependable, who consistently delivers, and who the team relies on. Yet some of the people who get let go are exactly those employees. It makes me wonder whether the decisions are made by people looking at spreadsheets instead of... — read more

Every year the "top" contributors get to go (with a plus one) to the Diamond Club event. Waste of $$$$. Always, a 5 star place. Top entertainment. Stop the Waste. They have to have 1 person from each group nominated.

CTX - Worst org at T
CTX is the worst. I don’t know anyone, other than a handful of a$$ kissers that don’t do any real work, that are happy. One of you leaders with some b@lls needs to step up and make some positive changes before all of the good people are gone or too... — read more
Finance WFH
The finance folks under Ed Claure are WFM. Why do I have to move when the dead weight ADs with a handful of reports get to WFH? Dead weight dialer managers and collection strategy clowns sitting pretty at home.
Next layoffs?
Anyone have inside on when the next cut will be?
