Any news on Townes org surpluss layoffs.

About 20% of Zeilers org got surplus notices today…he has about 1,000 under his org so that’s roughly 200 people. Not a great day.

Crickets around here today. I wonder if many of the RTO whiners where being laid off today.

can we go home? Guess they surplussed too many people!

Just wanted to let you know I got my two week notice. Yay! I'm getting paid to leave!

If you are in platinum and not in the top 50% in the ranking, you have a strong chance of getting let go. If you are in the 4th quartile, they might term you in under 30 days. They need to lower headcount drastically. If you are in this segment... — read more

I know everyone is up in arms about RTO right now - and for good reason, to be clear - but the same thing that always happens will happen. People will huff and puff, but within six months, they’ll get used to it and forget all about it. They’ll just... — read more 

I think we abandoned physical tokens like 10+ years ago and i already need a phone to access a computer (wtf?). So what purpose does this forced physical security key have other than gps tracking my paid and unpaid bowel movements?

Without any clear and specific words from our leaders, perhaps there is an AD, Director, or higher that reads this board and can provide some insight as to how presence is being measured. What is a "full day" in the office? I am not referring how... — read more 

Wonder how long it will take T to comply? It's been years of nepotism, doubt it can change.

Heard rumors of a mid-year date for MGO to afford time for building/space improvements so today’s announcement was yet another disappointing fail in an RTO fiasco I didn’t think could get worse. Sending sympathy to my fellow supercommuters. — read more 

Anyone have true intel on which orgs will be impacted?

Anyone else find it funny that the big entry swipe lane in the lobby has been broken since week 1 of RTO? They still haven't fixed it. The elevator algorithms are messed up, takes over 5 mins to even get one. All of HQ is freezing with barely any... — read more

People aren’t looking at the bigger picture. T's future workforce will be burned out and lack motivation. That’s going to hit their results hard, and I can’t see it doing anything good for the company’s financials.

What can be done to change the culture to toward pushing for better benefits for employees (WFH, better raises and pay, etc.) and moving away from employees policing each other? It seems half the posts here are employees fighting each other rather... — read more 

Is there nothing else happening at AT&T right now? Seriously?

I know some people are still refusing to RTO full time. I envy them. I wish I could take that risk, because I absolutely hate my job now, but I have to play it safe to avoid being laid off. If you’re still WFH, have there been any repercussions so... — read more

I’m hearing RTO is working as intended.

It’s too dangerous for non-union employees to come in to work but not too dangerous for union folks to come in. A lot of union employees work in a noc and could and have worked from home no problem. UNION LIVES MATTER! GO CWA! Let’s practice unity... — read more

What are the financial gains and losses since the RTO initiative started? We should push leadership to release clear financial metrics.

RTO and reducing employee headcount is all in preparation for Stankey to retire. He needs to boost the stock price so he can retire, get his "golden parachute", and then cash out of the stock before it tanks because of the "brain drain" he caused. .. — read more 

Who is the NARC on this board? Is it Melissa Ness?

Welcome to week 3. So far 5,268 employees have been eliminated. Congratulations on making it this far. Let week 3 begin and Happy Hubger Games!

C suite knows it’s going to be bad and are trying to get ahead of it with 5 days RTO to pretend like they’re doing something about it. Let’s see if my IQ is as high as they say it is.
