Many of us in the Leg T contract hope to be surplussed on the next announcement date of June 13th. We'll gladly take our up to 104 weeks pay and just move on. Everyone knows the phoney watermark number is meaningless and the company can and will do... — read more

Tax break
Remember when Trump was in office first time and reduced corporates taxes! AT&T WORDS we will hire more!!! ………
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
Are they finally going to sell those ancient telephone relays or what? Everybody I talk to in OSWF says almost all of them are just sitting and rotting and have been for years. There is zero legitimate use for them besides dumping fiber spools and... — read more
AT&T Legacy Pension Plan
Not many people have a legacy pension (ATT) version. Question to those that do Is the bump after 30 yrs are do you see bumps along the way "Modified Rule of 75" is this still a rule ?
Will leadership punish the ones who are truthful on the survey?
I told the truth and my peers gasped that my comments were so accurate. How much time before they place a bullseye on me?
CNIO org, DEG DT and ET severance
How many received the call and were told by HR that the company accepted their voluntary MOA severance form and would be retired on June 13? Heard of at least 5 ET’s and 2 DT’s in GA, not all were from the targeted areas. It appears they are... — read more
Backfilling Leg T ?
Anyone know what’s taking so long to back fill these NTS guys that are retiring? Our work is backing up and we are missing commitments. Excuse after excuse

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
Survey’s out
Here we go…
They’re starting to notice us on here
A lot of bot downvotes lately, I wonder if Stankey has started to realize how many hate him
Cannot ask my manager
What happens to my retirement benefits if I’m taken off payroll before I become eligible?
When does the survey come out?
Anxious to hammer the company and the “leadership”
Petition for Stankey to Resign
Upvote to show your disgust
Surprising fact
Many people who have decided to leave T have landed jobs in most admirable companies. It appeared as though they knew nothing when you worked with them, but it is shocking to see how they beat the competition and landed awesome roles. Kudos to their... — read more
People are too harsh on Stankey
I am not oblivious, I know that there are real complaints about the decisions that have been made. However, the language of the posts here are lacking in grace and frankly come across as mean-spirited.
Announcements coming
June 13th
A lot of activity at Lenox today . . .
I guess they are getting everything spiffed up for the grand opening of the minimal, cr-ppy work spaces. But, the community spaces will be AWESOME! The desks, not so much. Marble and granite kitchen counters and formica 3x5 desks with cardboard... — read more

Unemployment Benefits When Quitting
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

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?

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

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.
