AT&T stock is down roughly 20% in two months

This isn’t working. RTO isn’t working.

The conversation internally is still focused only on badge swipes, presence reports, five-day mandates and 10% sweeping layoffs while the stock slides, morale stays low, and leadership takes new debt and pushes expensive long-term office bets nobody wants.

Markets don’t care about the unnecessary and expensive RTO facade. It just destroys value by forcing out top talent and plummeting productivity.

They don’t care about micromanaging badge data.
They don’t care about forced commutes that reduce available working hours.
They don’t care who sat in a chair 5 days this week while watching Netflix at their desk.

They care about execution. Growth. Costs. Talent retention. Confidence in leadership. All the things we aren’t focused on right now.

At some point the board has to ask hard questions and decide to make some real changes to turn things around.

Because the falling stock price, disengaged employees, and doubling down on unpopular policies isn’t a strategy. It’s self inflicted destruction.

Why let the cry babies RTO? Just get rid of them

Buy high. Sell low. A few more months and I’ll be selling.

The master of destruction is just doing what he’s good at…destroying corporate value! Just look at his history… He’s like the grim reaper or better yet a Death Eater! In his presence the life is su-ked out of everything!

@cf Thanks. I was a tibute and found out ahead of the 6/17 notification.

Trump doesn't care about us either.

@b6 ...congrats. it will all be fine.

No one cares

@b9 get a life. Maybe they should realize the problem is this whole “strategy” is id--tic. The fact that a fu--ing telecom company deems it necessary for people to move all over the country for work when the entire stated purpose of the company is to connect people from anywhere is beyond insane.

@az get your own schtick

It's actually typical. layoff profit bumps are always short lived, on top of that several groups on wall street are going back over data to see which companies used A.I. as a cover story, and these groups are now putting in massive short positions on those companies. I spoke to several people at Goldman and shorting those companies is the safe move right now.

More layoffs ahead- JS

It's official. I am out of here 7/1.

And you think the stock is down because of RTO. What a tool....Go back to work.

Stank doesn’t care and sadly the board doesn’t care either. Of course the board is driven by Stank. A fine example the fox watching the hen house.

Clearly the market driven culture is not working.

@ay and yet you stay on this site. Get back to your truck and harness up.

Layoffs should fix that for a month or two.

@OP 100% this. They're trying to reduce headcount to 'save costs' yet they have to spend big money on infrastructure, maintenance, & monitoring equipment as well as pay their army of auditors. Hypocrisy at its finest.

@a4 If it is AI, I am impressed. Dead on. Hire that AI as a SVP.

@ae RTO is going to be great for MY golf game with the new golf center they have planned for the new Plano office. So I’m not sure what you mean?

RTO in't working for my golf game.

@a6 keep that same energy next time to stock price goes up 1% and everyone says “We are on the right path, RTO is working”

2031 : RTO isn’t working. 🥱

RTO has been in place for two years. There is no correlation to the stick price.

The damage caused by the 8/1/25 email can never be undone. Stinks response to his employee base was “You don’t matter”. He doesn’t care about your social, emotional, or mental well-being. The lack of understanding, recognition, and value has fully contributed to the disengagement, anxiety, and fragmentation.

AI slop, but it’s still true.
