Seems like there’s 1 person creating all of the posts on here lately. It’s all RTO/Stankey stuff. Does anyone else have actual information on anything?

This just in… The government watchdog group WTF (Wasn't Too Frugal) reported that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) should reach out to T to inquire about using their business data models as a template to rapidly identify wasteful... — read more 

Resign!

The buffoons in Lastnet who freeload off real technical talent should prepare for a pointed boot up the tailpipe. They are lucky that they have enough crusty curmudgeons who are volunteering for layoffs in the coming months but then the hammer drops... — read more 

Whether a corporation with $130 billion in debt should perform a stock buyback depends on several key factors, including its financial health, cash flow, debt structure, and overall strategic goals. Here are the considerations: Financial Health... — read more 

Even if it’s attrition, it still doesn’t make sense. It’s such a mess.

Now that RTO will be phased in during the start of the year, you can bet the next corporate trend will be mandatory productivity measurements using a wide range or vendor tools. You can expect to be measured on GtiHub commits, backlog handling... — read more 

I was surprised by how many remote jobs are available. I’m guessing each one has hundreds, if not thousands, of applicants, but they’re out there. I guess not all ELTs are packed with id--ts who prioritize commercial real estate and micromanagement... — read more 

Yet have no opportunities comparable where you are? I anticipate getting a part time job of some sorts at a tiny fraction of my ATT salary and trying to find anything remote. At 53 I just can't deplete my 401K and IRA to live and support family... — read more 

We were just notified that enhanced Sipp offers coming this month. Not VSipp. Location: Michigan

They came out with a recent analysis that all ATT employees should have bought stock in TDS Telecom and TMobile.

To get to the numbers and far better for long term health of all entities and persons. But ATT manages quarter to quarter and has no ability to be a visionary long term thinker.

I heard a rumor that AT&T is going to offer severance pay for people to leave in February. Has anyone else heard of this?

What are the actual rules/laws regarding distance from the office?

Check it out. Mike really knows how to run an organization and calls into question if Stankey really knows where the industry is headed.

Who wants to make a stink?

So long from the Class of Dec ‘24. Hoping for the best for you all (even the poster who’s gonna says “we’re not an airport so no need to announce departures” or “don’t let the door hit you on the way out” or “about time Boomer”). You all should... — read more 

We keep our customers happy….. what they don’t know won’t hurt them and if we make ourselves and the company money then what’s the problem? Zero usage…. More like I zero sh*t about a stupid report. I can’t help my customers don’t use their... — read more 

there's a 35%/50% chance of snow Thurs/Fri. Can't make this up. So let me guess employees will magically be able to work remotely this week because last time it snowed it shut the city down 🤣

Tomorrow will be the last “free day” WFH Friday before the start of 5x8. How is everyone marking the occasion?

That’s the goal that has been communicated to them in presentations. I tend to beleive it

I retired in September and I got a notice from MetLife that my spouse's life insurance ends 12/31 and was told mine will drop to $15k. The letter said call Barnum Financial Group with questions. I called and they explained the letter then said I am... — read more 

Why use tactics like this? Because they can, because there's no laws protecting employees against deception. HR also calls office workers "supervisors" and "managers", despite a large portion of L1/L2 workers not falling under NLRA's... — read more 

Which would you choose? Personally, I’d gladly give up 10% of my pay to keep WFH.

Word on the street is leadership in total panic today as the tracking report is broken with no fix because the lead developer has left the company.

By far this company has the worst attitude and morale of any place I have ever worked. Only been here a month and I want out. Have already started sending out resumes again. They lied and/or misrepresented a lot of things during the hiring: .. — read more 

Funny email in my inbox this morning

They use RTO to mean Return to Office from a WFH position, but they also use it when they move your job from one state to another and essentially displace you from them, giving you the ultimatum. Move your entire life to where the job went, or you’re... — read more 

Will we have to be in an office?

Grateful to have met the M75 rule and it sure would be nice to use that monthly pension benefit to supplement a lower paying role (and avoid a move) as I transition into retirement but worry about the long-term viability of the plan. Curious what... — read more 

Stankey was behind every bad decision made at T. He caused $150 billion debt. RTO is another failure like DTV and Warner Media. This guy should be prosecuted.

I can’t believe there are still some people who believe that was the reasoning behind RTO. It’s the attrition tactic, plain and simple. It’s about making as many people leave on their own, so it costs T nothing to get rid of them. It’s about pushing... — read more 

You all need to start thinking like a business. Don’t work for free. Will a plumber or mechanic work for free? Of course not, neither should you. I am a former contractor they converted to perm. Been in multiple industries & roles. First off T... — read more 

Feels like 99% of the employee base is not happy, and actually despises the current leadership. I’ve never seen it this bad before. This isn’t gonna end well.

They haven’t been updated since the 70s and look like they are straight out of a SAW movie, I have to 5x8 here? Surely this can’t be legal..

Want younger talent? This is NOT how you keep them. In fact, it’s the exact opposite, they’ll be the first to leave. You’ll be left with the 55+ crowd, and in 5 years when they retire you’ll have nobody. Good luck getting college hires to 5 days RTO... — read more 

That date will be the date they layoff everyone in that building but not later than the date of closing. Keep an eye on warn act notices for your state gov site. Google it. If Att breaks the law and you don’t get your 60 days notice , Att owes you... — read more 

RTO is here- it is happening….. It was not on any of our 2025 Bingo cards! I am not happy about it but we all have a choice! However, the biggest dread is sitting beside all you bitter employees that contribute nothing to what you’re paid to do!... — read more
