Should folks in both midmarket and enterprise be worried about job stability after this merger has been announced?

Why is IHX not participating in MDP this year? Every organization except IHX is included don't come to IHX if you want a future with this company apparently. Time to go back to retail!

Yay this is promising. Seems like c level is finally realizing what horrible leadership we have had in Mid Markets. It only took years but progress is progress. Since she is comped on payroll, hopefully she got a big commission check before she left... — read more 

Depression setting in… Another week in RTO he-l. The TV show severance is starting to feel all too real.

Can I work from Alpharetta instead of Lenox 2-3 times a month, given that it’s closer to my home? My manager is in Dallas, and I don’t have any team members here. As long as I maintain my work hours (7.5-8 hours per day) and productivity, my manager... — read more 

AVP here and could not divulge this rumor until now. Since I was given a friendly heads up that I’m going to be let go in the near future I’ve decided to let go of some rumors. 6 day RTO is coming to Atlanta in June. You will begin hearing about... — read more

I quit last year, should I still expect a bonus for the months I worked in 2024? It has not come yet.

Does anyone know is there a requirement for number of direct reports to be a GM? I have been seeing directors with 1 or no direct reports. I have even seen AVP reporting to AVP. Im wandering if we will see more reductions coming.

It’s hilarious the comments praising getting rid of DEI. Meanwhile, ageism is causing AT&T to get rid of older workers. Worried about the wrong thing. You want diversity in your workplace because it ensures you’ll be treated fairly as an older... — read more

AVP down have no control, just a puppet with their own jobs hanging over their heads. C Suite needs to wake up that perhaps the cuts need to be at their level forfeit their bonus and deny a pay raise. Let’s share the pain.

I've heard this, or a slight variation, several times over the years. Can anyone shed a little light on what this actually means? Is this a revenue producing effort, or just more busy work? Anyone ever hear a customer say they love AT&T for their... — read more

Hey T, Why have you been asking technicians in the west for the past two years to submit a form for VSB when you haven't offered any the past two years? At this pointJust go directly to everyone who submitted their forms and ask if they want ESB... — read more 

Stop blaming everyone else for everything wrong with your lives. It’s so frigg1n’ tiring. Just try to be nicer. You’ll feel better and so will others. It ain’t that difficult.

Well that’s that. End of “employee appreciation week” not a word from John. Where’s the acknowledgment from the “leadership”? He really hates us all. E&O brothers and sisters, do you feel appreciated?

No more Chief Diversity Officer, no more race based scholarships and career opportunities, no more corporate sponsorships that don't align with core business strategies, Turn Up the Love campaign terminated, no more DEI trainings, pronoun pins... — read more 

Wonder if the poor January will put more people on the chopping block in order to meet the 2.5 debt ratio that was promised.

Because it has proven to be a fact that the company can get away with having worker numbers lower than "the watermark", the company will continue downsizing the Leg T union workforce on the next announcement date which is March 14th per contract and... — read more

Why do they keep emailing us about this stuff? Why have an appreciation week when you’re in the middle of planning on laying of 10-20% of employees?

Someone didnt watch their own video

Watch out for folks who steal your credit and climb the ladder off your hard work. Be wary of managers who make empty promises. Watch for those who point fingers at you when they’ve messed things up themselves. Avoid leaders who can’t lead. Beware... — read more 

A lot of talk this week about people living personal sh*t permanently at drop in open desks and everyone wanting to avoid conflict. I purposely picked a spot this morning where someone left pictures and personal items and threw them in the trash and... — read more 

If you’re virtual or not near a job, you’re at risk.

Happening in next month. What would you ask?

The company has made it very clear that we only get credit for working when we are in the office - AiS (A-s in Seat). After being in the office for 8+ hours, why is anyone going home and working when you are not receiving credit for this work? If... — read more 

Just give or offer severance package. I will gladly take it and bounce!!! Otherwise I ain’t leaving!

Engineering & ops just received word that there will be relocation letters to meet quota. After relo letters, forced reductions will take place a month or two afterwards. This will have major impact on our network and stability. These changes DO NOT... — read more 

about people leaving stuff on desks to “save” or “claim” a seat, you are a big part of the problem. Understood, most rational people want to avoid conflict. But when you say nothing, and do not challenge or report this, you are enabling the practice... — read more

It solidifies our opinion of that post being a high quality post. Downvote guy is just helping us find the truth. Thank you.

We need assigned seats. This is boiling to a head. Utterly ridiculous that the requirement is 5 days but there are no assigned seats. I just want to go to work, do my job, have a consistent place to sit and work while I do my job, and then go home... — read more 

Outside or top level sales performers, who really get special dispensation from RTO , everyone's attendance will be a factor when layoffs happen after Q1 results..

My AVP is so stupid, and probably only got the job by kissing people's a-s. His only skill is cracking stupid jokes and using corny phrases. Also avoided RTO for a year.
