is getting ridiculous. Not because there isn’t enough, but because my fellow coworkers love to park in the pedestrian crosswalks and fire lines. There is parking across the street on both sides of the building and also at the other AT&T property up... — read more

Stank is pitching softballs to his successor
The next guy/gal can return to hybrid work schedule and immediately have the workforce on their side. Not to mention a great PR talking point "on my first day, we reduced CO2 emissions by 40%" They say you never want to be the one to replace a... — read more
Business Insider Article about VZ recruiting AT&T employees . . . .
and using the RTO policy as the kicker. It is on the MSN page of our edge browser and otherwise sits behind a pay wall.
Bedminster
Keep hearing this location is closing by the end of the year, but thats not what it looks like. The building is over capacity and there are still groups that are not reporting 5 days. They can’t send them to Dallas or Atlanta because they are out... — read more
ATT Pennywise Pound Foolish
Inability to do precision cutting and God forbid they pay severance. Could have all been executed in 12-18 months but combination of inability to assess workforce along with over indexing with DEI sludge all throughout the company.
Fiber Territory
Those who are still left, what are you waiting on to leave? They've consolidated one team in Dallas, and now have enough to consolidate another. They cut your base $10,000 and said "we're raising your at risk". Now, they're raising the ADI quota to 5... — read more
Former T Employees
are funny coming on this site to rub us about why their life is so much better now that they left, yet they still come back here, like as if they do really miss us and T. Through the years I've seen numerous people come back to work at T and most... — read more
Get to the Office
If I have to come in you do. John Stankey ordered us to come into the office. Does it take Elon Musk to get you into the office?
YTR statements?
Any idea when they come out this year? Should be soon, I'd think.
What's the status of San Ramon CA, Closing?
I'm doing 2-3 days RTO a week, nobody is tracking here in San Ramon. When I'm in the office it's basically checking in with others and discussing leadership failures and getting lunch. People openly discuss their lack of motivation and have... — read more
GA - Severance and Unemployment Benefits
Has anyone been laid off from AT&T, received severance, and been denied unemployment benefits in the state of Georgia? I’m having the worst time getting in touch with the Department of Labor for clarification. I’ve applied for several weeks of... — read more
John have the guts to step down!!!
Dear John Stankbottom. You are despised and you are replaceable. Your booming voice is tired and we are tired. Everything has been turned upside down and yet you are still at the helm. What is wrong with you? Refresh yourself and look up the... — read more
What kind of leave is available?
What kind of leave am I eligible for without a doctor's note or documentation? I am getting laid off this year (haven't been notified of the date yet) but I would prefer to just not have to RTO in the meantime bc I am eligible for the max severance... — read more

At&t RETIRED now have Spectrum Mobile

Stankey in NJ this week
Heard Stankey will be in NJ this week. Anyone know what’s going on?
10% Force reduction by mid-year
Org leaders are being told to hit their headcount reduction by middle of this year...10% is the number being pushed. I'm sure they're hoping the RTO/Presence tracking will play a role in hitting the goal.
I got in at 7am this morning . . .
and the cube beside me had already been claimed -- a backpack and a computer placed on the desk. No one in the cube so far and it has been 3+ hours.

"Average Hours" component of the Presence Reporting
The far majority of folks had no visibility to this until last week, hence the big uproar everywhere once people realized the report was nowhere near accurate. It was taken down late Thu/ early Fri and has not been restored as of yet. In townhalls... — read more
The decision to move from 3x a week to 5x a week RTO
Was made based on the broken presence report. Notice how they finally rolled it out for you to see thinking it was 100% accurate. Unfortunately for them it’s still not even close. Unfortunately for you, decisions to move from 3 days to 5 days were... — read more
Verizon targeting 30M Fixed Wireless Customers
Stankey knows what is best though.Even though the customers want a Honda Accord we will send you a Ferrari and charge you for that Ferrari. Stankey is so obtuse. I want to drop a hot steaming deuce right on that stupid chrome dome of his.
Jay D & the broken presence report
The broken presence report was used to enforce the change from 3x8 to 5x8 RTO. That was about a year ago. Imagine how inaccurate it was then when used to make that decision. Since then they think the report has improved enough to share it out with... — read more
What does leadership do when they have lost the trust of the employee base?
Nobody is buying in anymore, nobody believes in them. This train is slowly but surely headed off a cliff. There is nothing happening here besides play pretend RTO and check if the report looks good.
Off to prison for the week, again.
Monday’s are depressing. Really hard to convince myself that I want to keep doing this and living this way. This company has no respect for its employees. There is no long term future here. RTO is a death mark on the company and screams financial... — read more

RTO su-ks — the world is changing
Just because you used to work in an office everyday from 1908-2008 doesn’t mean it’s the best way to work anymore. It’s totally unnecessary in this day and age when we have (and sell) the ability to work from anywhere. We are a “tele-communications”... — read more
AT&T Culture - DO NOT WORK HERE
RTO has made this place a misery. Everyone couldn’t be more unhappy and employee morale has never been lower. This is probably the most toxic company in existence. Everyone either has one foot out the door looking for real opportunities where they... — read more
RTO has made this place unbearable
I used to like working here, now I hate it. I dread everyday that I wake up and have to drive over an hour to get to the loud, crowded, unclean, unsafe office. All because the leadership hopes people quit. What kind of a company has this become? This... — read more

My life has gotten so much worse since RTO

Average Hours Report - why for exempt roles only?

I love it when the Stankey sycophants down vote the truth about AT&T
It let's me know I have hit a nerve with the truth. So, please keep down voting those truths. It is just too bad the site moderator does not have the intestinal fortitude to leave the post up.
If my YTR su-ks I’m out.
Tired of being at the bottom of the barrel with this company.
