Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Living your designation, unless weather won't allow, then we NEED you to work from home.

Great news, team!

After months of being told that our jobs absolutely require us to be in the office five days a week, we’ve now discovered a groundbreaking truth: remote work magically becomes possible the moment a storm named Fern shows up.

To keep things consistent with the company’s logic, I propose a simple standard:

  • If we can physically get to the office: we work.
  • If we can’t: that’s a company problem, not an employee problem.
  • And since remote work “isn’t viable,” we obviously won’t be doing any work from home.
    After all, if flexibility only exists when it benefits the company, then employees should follow the same rule. No work from home. No exceptions. Just honoring the policy, we were told was non‑negotiable.

Speak for yourself. For us it’s get to the office or die trying. There are no weather days except maybe for management other than my group.

@ad - The RTO posts are so annoying. Work for AT&T or don't. It is simple.

"Now, with RTO, I barely have time for anything other than work."

It is unfortunate that you cannot find a better job than at AT&T. It just proves you are the employee that needs to be let go.

Wait, WFH was always possible?!?! Why didn't anyone tell me????
So does this mean that the elusive, mythical WFH is actually real??

I'm sure now that know of its existence, it will become an option for us all instead of cramping up the space in Stinky Dallas, and we can all go to better areas where we want to actually be?!
Surely this is a win for all! I have full faith that with this newfound knowledge, upper management will realize that we can all actually want to work here if we're happy! Who knew!
I'm also sure the old-heads and pensioners have enough ambition to go out and live their lives or try out another company! Give it a go!

@a1

Glad you accomplished those, as you certainly didn't invest any RTO time in your intellect or wit.

Agree with OP. We are back in the 80’s, must be in the office every day. Inclement weather (unsafe) where you cannot get to the office means you don’t work.

I agree with @OP .. what’s funny is I actually got rid of my home internet because of RTO, so I can’t work anywhere but in the office now… wanted to follow suit since we’re living in 1969 and all…

@a1 show us on the doll where Stankey touched you and tell us what he promised you in return for carrying his water. It’s actually pathetic.

Just the same old boring stale post in every thread from the same one person who thinks they’re successfully paining a false narrative

RTO has really put a damper on my productivity.

With WFH, I was actually able to focus for once. I was getting SO MUCH done. I was running errands. I was spending time with the neighbors wife. And I really started perfecting my golf game at the country club.

Now, with RTO, I barely have time for anything other than work.
