Fortunately I was surplused on 7/1 after 28 years at Att. I’ve seen this company go from, a great place to work to a Stanky hole. Anyways, when should I expect my last paycheck or severance payment. I haven’t seen anything so far. Knowing the... — read more 

It has been a couple of weeks now. Where are the posts about Virtuals getting relocation letters? Have the few people who kept perpetuating these fabricated rumors every few days gone?

Hope in one hand and relieve yourself in the other and see which one fills up first. And repeat the mantra "I am a close personal friend of John Donovan".

I heard that most of the experienced people we laid off recently were immediately snapped up by a competitor at a much higher salary. If that doesn't show how clueless our leadership is, nothing will.

Everyone is burned out. Not just from the work, but from the endless layoff anxiety. Management doesn't care. They'd love it if we all just left.

I think AT&T is looking at WFH completely backwards. Instead of fighting it, why not use it as a competitive advantage? Why limit hiring to a few expensive hub cities when you could recruit the best talent anywhere in the country? Why spend billions... — read more
