When are they finally going to adjust the market rating for Atlanta from an N2 to an N3? They reclassified Dallas an N3 market, yet Atlanta is more expensive to live in and pay has gone up significantly from what I can see on LinkedIn. I know they cited market pay last time, yet T mobile and Verizon have major offices here and their pay bands are significantly higher than ATT, plus they are hybrid and remote still. When is ATT going to change our market indicator?

Go work at Verizon or T-Mobile then. Nobody’s forcing you to work at T.
@e1 Yep, NJ is outrageous has some of the highest real estate and property taxes to match yet stays N3.
Ga is not the market for att. No more a s. I. An. This ain't the west coast. The rest of the good old usa is not the west coasr
"Sorry, but $5K-$7K per year property taxes on 1M homes"
Unincorporated DeKalb County is over $10K for a house around valued at $800K. I am guessing that City of Decatur or Fulton Co/Atlanta is pretty damn close to $15k, whichi is why most people working for ATT in Atlanta live outside the perimeter.
Look for Charlotte to get an N3 upgrade with the new cyber hub.
Cost of labor is cheaper so it’s N2.
Try paying NJ property taxes.
@b2 labor rates in Atlanta have always been higher than Dallas. We have a lot of competition here with tech jobs, we have Amazon, Google, Microsoft, T mobile, Verizon, and many many others in Atlanta. They all pay significantly more than ATT. ATT is currently one of the lower paid companies around now. Whoever said the property taxes here are low, hasn’t looked in a while, they have gone up considerably in the metro as the movie industry moved here and drove up property values. Mine has more than doubled the last 5 years.
Ratings aren’t set based on cost of living but cost of labor.
Sorry, but $5K-$7K per year property taxes on 1M homes is pretty cheap and doesn’t need an N3 indicator. The tech salaries are too high for that cost of living.
When you guys pay $20K property taxes like Chicago.
When are they going to stop paying new employees more than the experienced employees who have to train them?
"They" don't care...
Changing the market rating to a higher level doesn’t mean raises were handed out. I suspect ATL and DAL employees make a similar salary.
The Stank doesn’t care about ATL and the salaries there. He sees it as yet another opportunity to drive people to leave on their own and not shell out severance.
