Our focus is on badge swipes for RTO and building a new campus no one wants because nobody really needs an office anymore. We even sell the service that enables WFH. But don’t worry it’ll be loaded with a bunch of junk that nobody will use because it hasn’t been cool for nearly 25 years. We are always way too late to the game. Starlink isn’t a real threat when you have a multibillion dollar office like this.

@fj all RTO does is get the Millennials and Gen Z to quit and go somewhere else with flexibility. The boomers will stick it out for the 5 years or less they have until retirement.
Say for a second that everyone is 100% compliant with RTO. How is that making us a successful company? How is that going to raise the stock price? Where are the metrics that show RTO is solving all Ts problems?
@dv I still do this. Just drop the laptop off at the office first. It’s actually better because now I get full credit since I am “at the office”.
RTO has solved my addiction to Costco shopping on weekday work hours. Thank you
@dc They can declare what they want. That doesn’t make it so.
Op, fwiw Starlink has a very strict RTO policy. So T and starlink are equals there.
The Wall Street Journal has declared that RTO has become the universal standard
Seems to me doing a good job or having success in our endeavors. None of that is important. Fixing stuff making the network more reliable never mentioned. All that matters is WORK FROM HOME. I think we’ve found the problem. Nobody cares about what they’re doing only where they do it which doesn’t help the network.
Working from home has virtually no negative impact on the customer experience or the company's stock price. Meanwhile, data breaches continue to damage the company's reputation, hurt customers, and negatively impact shareholder value. Yet Stank keeps focusing on non-essential issues instead of addressing the problems that actually matter. The priorities are completely backwards.
This company has real issues to work thru. WFH is not one of them. That was a thing a few years ago.
I think complaining about RTO is great. Keep it up while so many other companies are doing the same thing. We are a bunch of followers, not leaders.
Don't forget we have active defense. So full of false positives that customers get to override all the blocks.
RTO has been essential to getting the majority of employees back to schedules resembling anything close to full-time hours. RTO has nothing to do with new products and services being introduced. There is no innovation at T whether RTO of WFH is in place and hasn’t been for over 2 decades.
