It's unclear how many employees could be impacted. Before the merger with Cincinnati-based Fifth Third was officially approved, data from Downtown Dallas Inc. showed Comerica as one of 19 Fortune 1000 companies based in Dallas.

Did you rent first to get a feel of the neighborhood or did you buy out of state and move?
Anybody relocated to Dallas with kids in school? How is Richardson for commute?
Jeremy said the next wave is us sitting next in the same office as supervisor otherwise we are fired even if we are in a designated different hub. Heard anything different?
What if we are designated Dallas but supervisor in ATL? Are we sc--wed?
Received a letter stating you are not required to relocate at this time but at some point in future your role will be filled in Dallas. Does this mean it is virtual forever or will I be let go at some point?
Anybody in this situation relocated to save your primary job, sell your home, sacrificing your spouse’s job and moved kids to Dallas?
Is this place still a dumpster fire that creates a lot of work and pushes a lot of paper but doesn’t create any innovation?
Discussing a potential offer with a recruiter for a 3 days in office role. It is in Dallas. Can this role eventually become 5 days ? That’s a deal breaker.
Job searcher here! Are any of your departments hiring? I have a MBA from Duke so I should be a preferred candidate for management jobs. I can relocate to Dallas if needed, but preferably would like to work remotely.
If Dallas is 5 x 8, how are you managing kids pickup and drop off at schools. Don’t your spouses work or are you having to cut short work? At this time I am thinking ATL is better as it is still 3 x 8

The Dallas Morning News is in a new wave of layoffs under its new owner.
Staff worry about the impact on local news coverage, it'll be less of it.
Everyone loses here. I guess someone makes moeny too.
Heard from a valid source that we officially are moving to the north suburbs at the end of the lease. Deal is signed. Goodbye downtown.
Dallas gives you big-city energy without the chaos: a booming job market, no state income tax, modern high-rise living, elite restaurants, endless shopping, and a huge, diverse social scene. You get clean, well-maintained neighborhoods, wide roads, quick commutes, and easy access to airports that make national travel effortless.
The city blends Southern hospitality with a fast-growing, entrepreneurial vibe, offering major sports teams, arts districts, lakes, and year-round events—while still being far more affordable than NYC, LA, or SF.
It’s a place where you can actually build wealth, enjoy space, and still feel plugged into a major metropolitan lifestyle.
I heard from our AVP and SVP today that all of our department’s roles in El Segundo are being made redundant and backfilled to Dallas. So it’s either pack up your bags and join the herd in Downtown Dallas or leave.
Exactly how bad is it down there in Dallas. I hear the commute, parking, and desks are an issue. How does a Fortune 50 company have such major real estate problems?
Hi former non tech but tech adjacent Verizon employee here, left four years ago. Can anyone shed light on what roles were impacted? I'm with an insurance company now and we are looking for talent in dallas area.
since he thinks co-location with the supervisor is so important.
Growing up I would always hear colleagues in college and my first few jobs talk about their aspirations and dreams. I would always hear something along the lines of: I want to one day move to LA, New York, Seattle, Austin, or Miami. If international, I would hear London, Paris, Dubai. Never once had I ever heard someone mention: I want to one day aspire to move to Dallas.
Younger folks are often more ambitious as they are in the earlier part of their career. I have never once heard one of them mention Dallas being a part of their dream or ambition. Dallas is the place where people who fall short of their aspirations end up and their dreams die.
I don’t get all the hate for Downtown Dallas. Our HQ is right in the heart of the city. Literally on some of the first streets built in Dallas itself. There is so much history in this area. We have had many presidents and British royalty visit this street and stay at The Adolphus. Additionally, there is a lot of night life and activities to do that you just don’t get elsewhere. I understand there are some cons like homelessness and paid parking, but yall have a negative filter and just forget about the positives and hold onto the negatives.
It will be run out of Dallas and India with very little talent. When things go wrong it will get fixed when it gets fixed. The just figure it out and do 5X more with 2X less will catch up with SBC Nougat Heads who haven't had a visionary thought in decades. The amount of fraud and theft that will originate in India will be immense. Dallas will simply be a giant call center like environment run by metrics and PowerPoints.
My AVP team just hired from the outside a month ago and just surplused two others (without performance or attendance issues) -- both in Dallas.
Yes... both surplused employees over 50.
Make it make sense!
I know our leadership has made poor decisions in the past such as the failed acquisitions and debt accumulation. But, we have now sold our stake in anything we don’t have business being in. We have doubled down on the path forward towards convergency and Wall Street has rewarded as accordingly.
We run a dynamic, customer-focused business tackling difficult problems. That is why we work together, in-person, during common working hours in Dallas. Employees have no control over compensation, designation, or work locations. Those are all at the discretion of our business. As leadership has communicated, If a self-directed work environment is important to you, you will have a difficult time aligning your priorities with that of ours.
Lenox and Northpoint massive layoffs and transition to Dallas and India contractors. Stankey should be more furious over data leaks of consumer information. Georgia migration set to be complete by Q2 2028 with more aggressive timetable in the works. We all knew this was coming so not sure why Stankey thinks he is in the sly. I mean he did aid TMobile to a massive stock price and give away shareholder wealth of $100B along with Direct TV and Time Warner Synergies. Stankey is synergystic at vaporizing shareholder money.
There were rumors earlier this year but I am unsure... Please let me know.
I work in the BU in Dallas and last week we had hundreds of people laid off but I haven’t seen any exact numbers or big news outlets talking about this at all… I feel like this was a very dramatic cut but I’m confused why the media isn’t talking about that and instead they’re talking about the much smaller December layoffs…
We need to finish this headcount reduction that Stankey wants quicker rather than dragging it out. It’s like peeling a bandage quickly vs peeling it slowly and feeling the pain of arm hairs getting pulled.
Once the headcount is where it needs to be, then there will be less of a focus on a 5 day RTO and we will get the flexible schedule back. It is just the people that are working hard out of non-hub cities - anything outside of Dallas, Atlanta, NJ to be honest - that are holding us back at this point. Either relocate to Dallas, Atlanta, NJ or leave as Stankey is mentioning. Yet yall stay and we all get punished by Stankey for it.

Maybe I’m just completely out of the loop, but there are some job postings on the external career site that are in random locations. One in Dallas, one in Salt Lake City Utah (assuming that one is the bank), and the third in West Palm Beach, FL? What’s with this?
There was a layoff in the Dallas office today. Not sure how many were affected or if more offices outside of Dallas were affected. Anyone hear anything else on this?
As I recall the survey results from two years ago were kept from us. Now they want to discuss why the results are worse than the 2023 results we never got to see??
How do we know they are worse than?
We are just supposed to blindly believe a company that has no loyalty to us and lies to us everyday?
Tell us again how Director and above are supposed to be in Dallas or Atlanta?
Tell us how many “hubs” we have?
Stankey can’t even motivate his “yes men” to follow policy, what makes him think he has any real power?
Sounds like AT&T is ask us to show our loyalty to the company, by asking us to improve the culture they destroyed.
The way it’s going now the status quo will be the demise of the company before the next survey.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that FTW was completed months ago! I pulled the WebPhone directory, in my off time, for each of the SVP teams and it appears that if you're an AVP or above and you don't currently live in the Dallas or Atlanta area, you don't have to move with your team! Example - the overall IOT team had to relocate to Atlanta and Dallas, but their VP stayed in Missouri, which I don't believe is even one of the previously approved hubs! L4's should all be located in Dallas per the FTW policy as well!
"alpharetta, better be getting retta for #Dallas bound"
Dallas is full right now. Head count cuts are more likely than forcing people to move (understanding that Follow the Work is a hidden head count cut).
alpharetta, better be getting retta for #Dallas bound or your job is moving to dallas and you are not following the work. writing has been on the wall for years.
Is this any relation to #FirstGuarantyLayoffs?

When Lori Buckley of Euless logged onto work for her job at #FirstGuarantyMortgage Corp. on June 24, she wasn’t expecting it to be the last time.
While demand for mortgage loans was soaring from record-low interest rates, Buckley joined First Guaranty in spring 2021, pursuing an opportunity to work for a previous boss and be a senior credit policy analyst. Although she lived in the #Dallas-FortWorth area, she was hired as a remote employee and said only senior managers actually worked in the company’s #Plano headquarters.
