Are there any departments/areas more stable?
From my experience, at one time CSO(Chief Security Office) had more(though not complete) stability but that is no longer true.
Any areas exist today that are more stable? departments, sometimes better VPs in some areas.
@ag Yes, I'm sure you are the glue holding everything together
@ke downvotes from the worried managers or nah?
Nope.
@ag Yeah buddy! Mobility tech here. Probably the ultimate safe role if there is one at all.
@c0 ACS and IoT are only hiring family friends. Laying off everyone else.
"No one is safe". "It's going to be spread like peanut butter".
Baich is no leader, he's an arrogant bully. He's not respected by any veterans
Not just veterans. A new guy from Charlotte , no less, asked me what his problem is. Told him, we're not sure but he does have an ego problem.
When you have someone unstable at the top, nothing is stable
HR is very stable. Our workload with all the terminations and surpluses of all you su-kers is off the charts! Come on over we are hiring!
Is ACS/IoT team positions SAFE? I don't see any movement since 2024
Baich is no leader, he's an arrogant bully. He's not respected by any veterans of The CSO, those that remain.
What is CTX? I bet it is under Legg.
CEO, C-Suite
Historically, Stankey has said to "follow the capital" to keep yourself employed long term. you'll need insight into where the new hot areas are going to be for the following 3 years. The executive teams produce a roadmap and that's been relatively stable from a priority perspective. Get in on the early phases and get out before it fails or needs to cut to profit. There are departments that will always exist, like finance, HR, security and Network, but they all go through leadership changes. CSO is an example where they had some connected leadership but when leadership started cleaning house, CSO had issues and they cleaned house brought in new people. ABS was very much the same. Bottom line is that no department is really going to be safe for T, they are back into the buying other companies to continue the layoff machine. It'll get more difficult as satellites and T-Mobile continue to eat up the growth. FirstNet was protected for a while but that's a maturing business unit.
Usually if you are in a role directly responsible for revenue that is safer but who knows. Anything “strategic” or the like that isn’t critical to the day-to-day could be deemed unnecessary whenever they feel like. It’s not easy to give a blanket answer.
I'm in mobility and we carry the company. Your welcome.
@a7 Since you're asking opinions, it highly depends on your role. Generically, I feel it's stable short term, but you will be facing org downsizing in the not so distant future. With DriveNets taking over at some point and AI developing better and better code, I don't think it's "safe" after maybe 3-5 yrs. Which may work depending on how long you got till retirement.
Don't forget pickle ball. Since all these are all in open space, no will have to get there early to get a spot.
ex AIG and Wells Fargo employees because baich thinks
Of course Legg is as much a part of this as Baich as he has to know this is going on but is too weak to do anything about it. You don't just create a "new hub" without your boss knowing what's going on.
Also, "Baich thinks" is a paradox.
@a8 the golf and tennis club meaning the new Plano HQ?
Any area at all?
The golf and tennis club.
So any opinion of CTX or maybe groups involved in AI or our new platforms like git hub ?
Unfortunately, the Office of The Chairman is “stable”…relatively speaking. However, it is the department where there is an immediate need for new (non-AT&T) talent. Time to clean house at the top!
CSO is only stable for ex AIG and Wells Fargo employees because baich thinks they can leak data better than anyone given they've been doing it longer.
Yes.
