It’s affecting my health in ways I didn’t expect, and it’s not just me. Good people are quitting left and right. And I know this is not just our problem. Customers are also ditching AT&T in droves, and it’s no surprise. People don’t respect this... — read more

I’m outta here. Company treated me well for 30+ years and I did treated them well too. Just hoping the company finds its way back to respecting employees vs what I’ve seen lately. Not really asking much to have your own desk and an office... — read more

Sorry guys, know this is the layoff sight however I can’t get the answer from management. So there use to be a sight we could go to and file a complaint on customer service reps (the 800) people or the *AID number. I work in Company retail store and... — read more
Amazon RTO hiccups - AT&T will follow
I would not be surprised if Amazon spends millions of dollars building new offices just to put people in them who don’t want to be there. You’re doing more damage to your brand, your employee engagement, and your own self respect by sitting there... — read more
AT&T to become IT&T?
More employees positions are being offshored nearly every month to India so the A (American) in AT&T will need to be changed to I (India) for accuracy. Some positions are going to Eastern European nations too. Does the US and the government we really... — read more

Mismanaged RTO
Don’t ever fall for a fairy tale about WFH people abusing the “privilege” being the reason for the introduction of RTO. Sure, some were not working as hard. Some people in the offices don’t work hard either. The only real reason is attrition... — read more
2025
I hear from several very “in-the-know” credible L3/L4 friends that 2025 will be the wildest ride. Rumors of 50% reductions/expense across multiple orgs. Attrition from RTO and normal surplus will certainly help with this, but where else will they be... — read more
Luncheon and gathering- Observation

If you can’t find a desk…
Plop into Stink’s office or another VP/Exec of your choosing. Ask them how it feels to not have a dedicated space anymore.

Party City is going out of business…
… so we should claim the name. With RTO and everyone back for 5 days a week, it will feel like a non-stop party.
I wonder how many people would leave if the Medicare Bridge for early retirees was still in place?
I think there would be a lot of people willing to leave without the severance if that benefit were still around!
If they really wanted you in the office, they would just shut down the VPN.
Since they are not even considering that, I am wondering if trying to terminate people for cause for not RTO is a tenable position in a wrongful termination lawsuit. The existence of the VPN access is arguably condoning remote work and if terminated... — read more
Kick Back & Relax - They Are Going To Lay You Off Anyway

Working at AT&T feels like being in a toxic relationship
I’ve been working for AT&T for several years now, and honestly, it feels a lot like being in an emotionally abusive relationship. It’s a constant cycle: they beat you down with unrealistic expectations, endless reorganizations, layoffs, and... — read more

You gotta take care of you. AT&T wouldn’t care if you were under a bridge tomorrow.
Sobering moment for many of us the last month. If we had a better opportunity out, we’d take it in a heartbeat now. Even severance - rather them rip off bandaid with some dignity to us. That won’t happen. You will have some leave, your work load will... — read more

RTO Protest
Which day are we all calling out sick to protest the RTO policy? It’s time for some solidarity. Should it be Jan 6? I’m sure there will be naysayers but let’s not be discouraged by corporate sycophants.
