What are your opinions when this releases and what will be its impact on cybersecurity in T?
AT&T will be forced into more layoffs
Starlink is GLOBAL revenue and its subscriber numbers will continue to surpass T. There is ZERO chance that T's fiber investment will be able to compete. That is the hard truth and layoffs WILL continue. You can NOT compete with a global market after... — read more
John Stank. Where is …
John can you please tell us why the pensions rarely see an increase. Social security receives increases, teachers pensions and many others get good increases but no not with you John. You line your pockets while not giving a dam about anyone else... — read more
Job Market Unfreezing
Uh oh. Time to start applying for jobs again. I turned down offers in 2021/22 and regretted it. I’m not missing the boat this time. ATT is about to have a major problem with talent retention. Source: https://wsj.visitlink.me/BrNZ0- America’s... — read more
July 1 graduates - have you received your severance?
I signed the general release on July 5 but up to this day no severance yet.
19 Years of Stephenson & Stankey
On July 1, 2007 , Stephenson's first day as CEO, AT&T's share price was $37.62. Keep patting yourselves on the back.
Another paid day off work
It's fun and funny to be off work while still getting paid and receiving benefits. I just wanted to thank everyone for funding my life of leisure.
Who's still standing?
It feels like most of the people who could get out have gotten out. The ones still here are either too scared, too stuck, or still looking. I admit, I'm in the first group. Anybody still here because they genuinely want to be?
Forced in office 5 days without a desk
We just got moved to a different floor In HQ, and there's not enough desks for the number of people. But they require us to be in office 5 days a week sitting on this floor. We can't leave stuff on our desks because it's supposed to be flex seating... — read more
Dark humor central
To keep our mental health intact, our team meetings have turned into stand-up comedy about how broken everything is. The only time people perk up is to trash leadership or joke about organizing. Morale is so low that laughing at the chaos is the only... — read more
Relocation this year
Comment if you are relocating to HQ this year.
Orange Contract - VTP and Pension
Question for the Orange book wireless techs if there are any on here. If they offer VTP, does one keep their pension? Thanks
Good To Great
Book by Jim Collins. If you know, you know.. Somehow, seemingly NOT ONE of our “leaders” have read the book, or understand, or care to understand the importance of ‘Getting the right people on the Bus’. To me, this is a direct acknowledgment that T... — read more
What did Sk--k say about bonuses.
I skipped the last blow hard circlej--kAnyone care to give a short autopsy?
Here’s what Market-Based actually means, Stink.
You can’t have a “market-based culture” unless you’re actually willing to compete in the market for talent. Stinky keeps talking about building a market-based culture, but what exactly is market-based about AT&T? Companies with true high-performance... — read more
I’ve changed my mind. I’m taking the employee survey.
What he said in the ATG live really pi---d me off and changed my mind. I wasn’t going to take it, but now I will. I’d rather blast leadership in the survey again than sit it out. If nothing else, it’ll force them to confront the exact same feedback... — read more

ATT surplussses employees and then celebrates mediocre quarterly performance
ATT is like a seller on Marketplace trying offload a rusted out hulk of a vehicle. They photograph a dime sized shiny spot. The prospective buyer sees the Con and balks. ATT just grins and says But look at the shiny spot. Look how shiny it is.
AT&T's Fiber and Convergence Strategy Creates Enduring Value at an Attractive Valuation.
AT&T stock gains 5% today due to increased RTO and confidence in CEO Stankey's leadership going forward
Severance and Vacation Time
Question 1 - Is there the option to defer severance to the next calendar year? Question 2 - Is remaining vacation paid with normal paycheck or with the severance?
Slogans A'plenty
At&t loves a good slogan they can jam down everyone's throats as if that's going to change anything with how terrible the company actually is. Stinkeys "Marketbased Culture" is the latest. "Fast. Friendly. Fixed" is the other and both couldn't be... — read more
Charlotte or Dallas
Which would you have picked if you had the option? Charlotte would make sense only for commute to work and cost of living. Dallas on the other hand has lots of companies if T lays you off a year later. Both cities are new to family and kids are still... — read more
Miami relocation?
Heard Miami is becoming a main hub and they are renovating the building for incoming departments for the next couple of years. Anyone heard anything?
Yes or No….Is CEO great if….
If they cut heads and get another $5B in free cash flow? Personally, doesn’t mean you’re smart to just cut heads, anyone could do it. Where are the new products, the innovation, the “I wanna work there” moments? I still fail to understand how Board... — read more
Too far gone
In the last 15+ years, we've had two incompetent CEOs, countless reorgs, several acquisitions where we bought for premium prices and sold for cheap, and a complete erosion of culture. I think the rot is so deep at this point that any new leadership... — read more
Manager saw my open browser with job listings
She walked by and clearly saw the job posting on my screen. When she asked about it, I lied and said I was looking at salary benchmarks for a friend. The look on her face told me she didn't buy it. Can I be fired over this?
Investigation in Stankey.
Thanks DJT.
Dallas brunt
I am a fool. I underestimated Dallas commute, Parking and the 8 hour requirement. What a mess. Door to door is 11 hours for 5 days a week. What the he-l? How are my fellow 50 year olds taking it?
RTO Question
Assigned to go to Bothell through RTO email. Requested Atlanta and management and HR approved it. However HR isn't willing to send an email future location will be Atlanta. Did anyone face this?
employee benefits at T
I retired from T and I got a better deal on a cell phone from mint mobile. I went looking ...................... before they cut me off my copper land line .
The paranoia is real
When your manager's manager bails without warning, the gossip mill goes into overdrive. We've already got a betting pool going on whether it's a coming layoff or just bad culture. Either way, I've updated my resume and started casually browsing. Call... — read more
We need real employees to perform the work. CwA CRAFT TYPES!
We instead surplus CO and outside workforces to be replaced with made up titles that just send us emails of no value. Nonsense over and over.

Market-Based Hoax
In John’s Q2 results email he said, “We’ll need to embrace a market-based culture and continue executing against our 2026 priorities.” That got me thinking… what exactly does “market-based” mean? A market-based system generally means rewards and... — read more
John you’re embarrassing yourself!
Stankey seemed awfully confident during today’s ATG Live. After one solid quarter in a six-year tenure, the tone came across as more smug than self-aware, and the comments about employees didn’t exactly help. Let’s see what next week brings after... — read more
Wake up call
All of you gloating over the 2% increase in stock price today, just keep in mind that the stock is still 33% lower than it was 15 years ago and pays out only 70% of the dividend. The stock has grown $1.50 since Stank became CEO and dividend has gone... — read more
