Not an AT&T employee, but I'm curious about your directive that you have to be in-office for a certain amount of hours before it counts as an in-office day. How many hours do you have to be there? How are they tracking this? Are you using badge-in... — read more
Tightening the sc--ws!
AT&T, along with many other major companies keep tightening the sc--ws. I just don't know how much more I can take. Yes, I know they are trying to weed out all the non-performers, but it's having a horrible impact on my mental health. I'm a top... — read more
Clown town
An organization received an email stating how production was low and the very next day an email comes out offering overtime to the same low performing organization. Maybe try setting meaningful goals and performance metrics. Then exit your low... — read more
Move on already
You have to be deeply, deeply unhappy with your job to post some of the things I see here. I can't wrap my head around letting it get to that point without doing something about it. Why stay in a job that makes you bitter, jaded, and unpleasant... — read more

Customer at fault if you get laid off.
This, according to T leadership. Yes. T cited that changes in consumer behavior as a reason for layoffs. 🤡
Just got Laid off
My last day was yesterday, and I just filed for unemployment today. The why me? question has been weighing heavily on me. I worked hard, delivered results, and got along with everyone, yet I was one of the three people let go from my team. I know... — read more

Demand clawback of Executives Compensations Demand Transparency of Funding and where it’s being Spent Demand…
DEI & Accenture
Hmmm, Accenture announces they are dropping all corporate DEI policies. Yay!! Come on Mr. Stankey, do the right thing.
Don't Be Fooled
You have eyes in your head. You can see what all this RTO garbage is about. It's not just AT&T. Big Corp all got together and decided (at about the same time) that they were all going to do the same thing. It was also going to fall in line with new... — read more
5 Day RTO is a layoff
5 Day RTO is a layoff in disguise. If you don't recognize that you are stupid.
Let’s say
Let’s say you’re the CEO and one day during a town hall you split and tell the entire company that that they’re too old and we need younger employees. Next you perform layoffs targeting your older employees. It’s easy to do if you simply say the... — read more
It was always illegal
DEl was always illegal Imagine working for a corporation that has a long standing history of discrimination. Yup, that's our company. One big stupid racist corporate mess. Our leaders are so stupid they don't understand that everyone should be... — read more
Why is Stankey so arrogant?
He is a bald, abusive dictator. He has a long track record of poor decisions and bad leadership. Everyone who has worked closely with him has said he believes his own hype and thinks somehow the failures were not his fault.

Variance in RTO hours per Org
What has your Org advised (if anything) about minimum hours you need to be in the office per day? Have heard: 4 hours, 6 hours and some 8.
ATT needs to buy us out.
20,000 workers have taken the buy out from govt. T should follow suit and buy those out that are the fence.
I miss pots
I am a fiber seller and let me tell you I miss green space, migrations, pots flipping. It was so easy and I made good money. Now I have to look for real business and it affects my mental health. Now it is a stressful environment in my sales org.
Scale of 1 to 10 Rank Stankey's performance as CEO
Take into account leadership, people skills, business vision, and overall aura.

Get em
A corporation can do almost anything they want to an employee, except fire them for being too white or too old. That's discrimination and it's illegal. The new AG Pam Bondi just announced she will be criminally investigating corporations that use DEl... — read more
No severance if we can’t RTO 5 days a week?
I should’ve left when they closed my office and forced us to Dallas 3x/week but offered severance at the time.
Layoff
This a Layoff Site. It is not a RTO site. RTO is standard in most Fortune 500 companies and in Federal Offices.
Hypocrisy of a “Mighty” “leadership” team
It’s been sleeting for a few hours here in the Mid Atlantic/Northeast and will continue. “Mighty” “leadership” cancelled all their travels for the day, but expect all their workers to travel and be on time. This all while it continues to come down... — read more
Fork in the road email coming after RTO...

Big Announcement on 2/7?
Rumors on the internets abound regarding AT&T big announcements on Friday. Is it a layoff? Is it Starlink compatibility? Is it Stankey retirement? People here must know. Spill the T tea!
Think about this …
… AT&T is selling services to consumers and businesses at a premium price with an iron clad guarantee (sarcasm) that are not good enough for employees to use to do their jobs. So to lay it out there another way … T: Mr/Mrs Customer you need these... — read more

Salary band position
What is your level, salary band, and current salary? Either real numbers or percentage? For example, if your salary band is 1-100/yr and you are at 70/yr, you'd be at 70%.
Any knowledge of when the layoffs are coming? And if so, what are the chances for severance packages?
Our org's SVP was nice enough to let us know, during his EOY meeting, that there will be fewer of us still working at T in 2025 than there were in 2024. So the surpluses are coming. Just curious what the likelihood of a severance package would be... — read more
"Retired" Last Sept / Question on Team Award
Forced to retire after 28 years as a second line management employee. Am I receiving a team award on March 6th? Or is that thrown out since I had to "retire"? Thanks
I hate RTO and so does everyone else, and we’ll never shut up about it until it changes
Title says it all.
John Stankey to leave by year end replaced by
TPG Private Equity Fund Telecom Guy. The barbarians are at the gates. 90% of current jobs will either be gone or offshored to India.
Is there anything brewing on the occupational side
in terms of layoffs or VTP offers in March? Is T going to follow the lead of the federal government and other companies offering their employees a chance to leave on their own terms with a sizable check in-hand? I would love to see this cuz there... — read more
