Building Closures?

I've heard conflicting information on building closures that may be moving forward.
Does anyone have a list of locations, or information on how they're selecting buildings/campuses that are going to be closed? Does anyone know what that means for employees in those locations?
I've heard some locations, and then also heard that some changes in what locations are affected have taken place.
If anyone knows anything they can share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Rumors of an announcement date of 4/20, but I'm not sure if that's accurate, either.


Albuquerque Office

Everyone is focused on the closures in Texas and Illinois offices, but Albuquerque’s situation is interesting. They closed one office within the last few months but shifted everyone to Alexander, does that mean Albuquerque is actually safe, or is that just a temporary pit stop?

Temple Terrace is closing

This will be my last post about temple terrace but it is 100% closing so just get ready. The ASI 3 auction is few days ago and they have Desktop, monitors and security cameras listed. The monitors listed have a unique 10 digit V asset ID so you know they’re Verizon assets. The fact they haven’t announced anything yet is kind of ridiculous and just shows you how little they actually care for their employees. I work in sales, I know a lot of you who report to that building don’t work in sales. Not sure what they’re going to have you do. I heard they’re working on rebadging most you guys though.

They’re also moving superheadend to Macdill Air Force base. This is known as Macdill relo project VZW.119.20. If you aren’t familiar with that Superheadend is, it’s basically the Brains of Verizon FIOS.

Do whatever you want with this information I don’t care. You can even deny it and tell me I’m wrong, but the amount of evidence I have is indisputable.


Blitz

Just received an email for a sales blitz for Alpharetta, Irving and Temple Terrace. I'm not sure about Alpharetta, but I know for a fact Temple Terrace is being decommissioned within the next two weeks. Items are already being auctioned on ASI 3 auction catalog lmao. This is how bad our leadership is. They sent an email for a sales blitz for a building that won't even have any furniture within the next few weeks lol


Tulsa

Do we know anything about Tulsa and whether it’s being chopped? Huge cavernous and dated building with a couple hundred people huddling on 2/4 floors in 1/5 wings. I guess we own the big tu-d but been trying to get rid of it for years. Odd that it don’t come up in these conversations about what offices are closing because it seems like the first one I’d get rid of


Help

If you are wondering if your office will be closing soon let me help you figure that out.

  1. Go to workday.
  2. Go to your organizations
  3. Find organization that list all of the employees who report to your building or office.
  4. Write that number down.
  5. Figure out the capacity of your building(Google search or gemini)
  6. Now do some quick math and divide the employees of that org over buildings capacity and times that by 100.
  7. If your number is below 65% capacity, your office is almost certainly closing.

Remeber Q2 starts in a few days and they have a strategic plan to save 5billion on opex spending. Without closing a ton of offices, how else would you think they would get there?


You miss me yet!

So about 12-13 years ago I told everyone I was the bridge to something else. I told you we had the best claims workforce in the industry, without exception, but the cost of this was too expensive and we didn't need to be that good, but just good enough. I told everyone the days of working at SF for 35 years and retiring was over. I told you most people will never finish their careers at SF and it will just be a place for you to get some work experience and move on to something else. I told you to stop questioning decisions because the people that designed the future state model are much smarter than you. I conned everyone to move to a Hub City or long term growth facility just to turn around and close more offices. I told you our systems could never support a WFH workforce and oops we did it in a matter of days. I artificially lowered rates, bought tons of horrible policies and proceed to loose $27 billion in two years. I then gave myself record bonuses of $20 million and $24 million, the highest of any CEO in America. I cried a lot telling you I had to prove my business model worked and completely trashed the company before I retired. I effectively replaced the entire workforce with burger flippers and the 2040 crew. To cover my tracks and all the horrible things I did, I just "good ole boy'd it" and hired my long time buddy to finish the destruction. You miss me yet? It only get's better from here! Dang it hold on...my secretary if pregnant again....


Is anyone left at the (old) Midtown ATL HQ?

Former employee here, I drove past the 8th Street HQ the other day, what a sad sight. The tech bar and demo space on the ground floor (along 8th) have been vacated and it looks like most floors in the north tower are empty, too. I guess Atleos employees are not long for this world -- will they move to Brinks? -- and the stock market seems to have given up on Voyix. I'm guessing Fun Thursdays left with Mike and Owen. (And nobody should give those guys a pass on what happened to NCR -- a lot of this could've been avoided if they'd acted sooner.)

Anyway, that's a lovely carcass of an HQ. I hope it finds a worth tenant soon.


Main Street Sports Group Plans St. Louis Office Closure

Main Street Sports Group expects to close its St. Louis office. This action will result in 25 permanent layoffs. The company issued a WARN notice to state officials. Layoffs are anticipated by April 14 across various departments. This follows the St. Louis Cardinals' shift in broadcast rights.

Whitacre Tower will be missed

Once we move out of here and into the new Plano HQ we will truly miss what we had down here in the heart of historic downtown. It was a very cool place to be, lots of great restaurants, and the connections made here working over the years. When you visit the AT&T Discovery District you feel as if you have teleported back into the 1990s when people used to dress up and go to work. It feels like such a cultural and historical place. There is so much nostalgia and that makes me a little sad.


The End of Bothell

Our leader, Jeremy (Give Me Some) Legg announced a fews weeks ago while here in Bothell, that we would be moving from 7 & 8, to some other location. This was proceeded a couple months earlier with a survey asking if we would like to have an office closer to amenities and a would be willing to drive extra for it.

Now we are faced with moving to a new location , possibly 30+ minutes further away. This might be ok for some but not for those who live close by or west of Bothell.

The bigger question is: why would at&t do this? The NTC is in the same complex as 7 & 8, we own the buildings, and we have plenty of desk space (newly upgraded). The parking su-ks if you arrive after 10 am but food options are not that far away if you like to eat out every day. We recently got out of all the leased building in Bothell and Redmond and moved everyone here.

So, when they move us out to a new leased building, what happens to 7 & 8? Do they get sold or leased to another company?

In the mean time, ~2000 Bothell employees get displaced and moved to a leased (temporary) location. It is only a matter of time we are told that since we don't have a permanent office space, our jobs have moved to Dallas. Bye bye Washington employees.


What's happening with 220?

It's clear they're either going to gut it or tear it down, it's just a matter of time. Why else would they have only like 3 (above ground) floors in service? It's weird hearing about how some functions don't have desks but we've got 10 empty floors in 220. This feels like a metaphor for... something.


what is even the point of this rebranding exercise?

no , like seriously , what is even the point of this rebranding exercise? the company is already in a huge loss , like legit 75% down this year , and upon all this loss , they wanna spend on the already existing office infra to "change" the logo , what is even the point of this? also i love the fact that they alligned this EXACTLY with the layoff week and shut downt the office globally .GG.
