Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Measuring the employee’s output.

There are people that install, provision and maintain the telephone network and then there are 7 levels of people that measure the pace of that work being done and talk about it on conference calls all day. Each level getting a bigger bonus than the last all based on the work of the lowest level employees output. I know that’s a bit oversimplified but really it’s pretty close.

ahh yes the noble craftperson: ‘I’m the one doing the work, therefore I’m the business.

You only have work because many people support YOU. Someone still has to sell the service, provision the service, schedule the dispatch, order the materials, buy your fuel and tools, invoice the customer, pay the bills, make the interconnect agreements, purchase the building to place the equipment and make sure the government doesn’t come looking for everyone.

It doesn't even cost you when you sc--w up like in the normal trades, the company just sends another person to fix it and you get a little mark on an imaginary performance metric.

Wake up! That’s the way this world work. If you can, you can climb the top of The food chains.

There is no climbing to the the top of the food chain these days at T as it is riding some friend or family members coat tails or kissing enough butt to get there.

Replace people that install provision and maintain the network with Sales, (CSE, SALs) and you have the same thing..layers upon layers , sales manager, a few directors, usually multiple AVPs & VPs then C-levels, oh and don’t forget the support and overlay roles and that same repetitive hierarchy that all get a piece..

I keep my output up with a daily dose of fiber. And I’m not talking about the glass you boys pull

Copilot summary: There are people that thought “life is too short” and there are people who went to college.

And we will be doing it with another 25000 of us off payroll for the bonus to be larger. Very very sad!
