Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

I guess the NEO folks got excluded again.

Many of these "events" ARE organizaton dependent. Yet another way they divide the company.

Be happy for your ice cream. We didn't get any and we also don't have desks we can count on from day to day even though we are 5x8. Absolutely worst company to work for...

self respect for yourself

The department of redundancy department is here. Look sharp.

Traffic around here starts at 5am and I already have a 45 mile commute so I leave for work at 3:30am. Real good “collaboration” going on at 4:30am even though the office is actually 45 miles further away from India than the house I worked from for 13 years. At least I get to WFH for the 9pm launches. Nothing beats working till midnight when you have to get up at 2:30am to drive back again.

Do you have any self respect for yourself by staying if you feel you are treated so badly?

Come on now… just live your designation.

Spoke with a coworker in a hub who shared she gets to work at 0600 to get a desk after an hour + one way commute. I understand we will never aspire to be a great place to work but something is wrong with such acceptable requirements. Sc--w family time, got to find a desk and parking space.

I think ice cream is a wonderful idea! What is your favorite flavor? I like pistachio myself but I'm sure you all have your favorites as well and I can't wait to hear what they are! I may discover a flavor I never knew existed, and for that, I'm excited 😋

What can you expect from a fourth world country leader ?

We were told ice cream catering is too expensive. We only get $6 per employee per year. I guess the funds are spent on anything but employees.

“ You shouldn't be shocked at how many of these su-kers run for that ice cream, or a bag of chips, and think this makes the culture FUN! Bunch of dorks.”

LOL! Bunch of freeloading hogs!

They man.......you can't have your ice cream and eat it too.

Again, I guess the NEO folks got excluded again.

IDK. It was a Friday, and we're still 3 days a week, so nobody from my group is there on Fridays.

“I guess the NEO folks got excluded again. Didnt see a single person her talk about it.”

Ice cream didn’t fit in with NEO leadership’s #maha campaign.

Legg celebrated something by giving us the cr-ppy cafeteria pizza. What a joke.

"Have you tried taking the lead and organizing an event? FFS."

Yes, I have. The only options are to wait until we have some type of milestone anniversary and use our own awards for the entire group, or maybe the holiday potluck where everyone has to bring something and we might get a main course contribution. Of course, the awards amount have not been adjusted for inflation so it is getting harder to find something that is cheap enough to include the entire team.

“ Lenox is where the ice cream is.”

Was the ice cream even good? What type of ice cream was it? Breyers? Dairy Queen?

At Lenox, we got nothing.

Lenox is where the ice cream is.

@a1
What a pr--k thing to say. We are all adjusting our lives & schedules to accommodate this RTO bullsh-t.

Perhaps OP has children at home that need supervision to get on the bus. If perhaps they have physical therapy at 7am.

@a4 Appreciate the input, but let’s apply a little logic:
People leaving doesn’t increase morale—it’s a symptom of low morale.
Just like showing up earlier doesn’t magically create more seating—it just makes us compete harder for space that should’ve been properly assigned in the first place.

Telling people “no one’s forcing you to stay” isn’t a flex—it’s a lazy deflection. If the only solution is to leave, that says more about the company than the employee.

Another patronizing waste of $. 👎🏻

Resign, please resign

“At Lenox, we got nothing.”

Have you tried taking the lead and organizing an event? FFS.

At Lenox, we got nothing. Ever. In my group we get to watch cricket, sales and marketing throw events, our group - nothing. They don’t even let us observe the festivities. Some animals are more equal than others.

No one is making you stay here. Leave and improve general morale, please.

At least you got ice cream

“at 8AM”

Come in at 7 and you will be able to get a desk. Will also let you work an additional hour.
