Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Why doesn't ATT have enough seating for employees and not address the problem?

The company webphone tool indicates my work address has more than 1900 employees assigned yet there are only about 730 desks available. It doesn't math. Clearly a lot of employees are already not required to RTO, so why not reduce the mandatory in office presence requirement to 4 days per week or possibly 3 days for some work addresses until you figure out the logistics so the customers can have our dedicated attention? This is not rocket science ATT. Why is ATT leadership incapable of understanding this extremely simple concept?

These dopes still have signs and call it Drop In Space. If your requires to show up 5x8 that’s not drop in that’s permanent.

not everyone is at work, some are sick

HR themselves said they don't buld out to 100%. I think they claimed 80%.
Whatever the number, even if you do get the same seat every day, it's demeaning for a company to say that you aren't even worth having an assigned seat so pack up every night and take everything home.

We told our management there wasn't enough seats or parking. Their soltuion was to bring the construction crews in to cram more people in the space. People responded, how does that fix the parking problem? And needless to say, they had no answer.

Perhaps, they'll make the spots narrower as well?

@ey the seats are assigned in the same we our phone system used to work. Time Division Multiplexing. Make an Excel and figure it out. You can make the math be mathing or whatever the Chiefs of Staff say.

you lack basic math skills, arrival time does not equal and increase in seating capacity

Officers and VPs have dedicated space, that is all that matters to them

And they are also taking shared "drop in spaces" and reserving it specifically for directors. They just don't care about the people who do the work.

"Where do you have reserved desks?"

Neighborhoods. We have 16 desks assigned to us.

I don't see how parking is a problem. Are you not smart and collaborative enough to organize a basic carpool? How do you run a technical company with employees like this?

Leave if you go into the office and there is no open seating. Go find an open spot on another floor or at a coffee shop nearby and notify your manager.

This whole post is d-mb. HWWW and RTO have nothing to do with productivity or collaboration. I don’t know how many f-c**** times that has to be repeated here.

For domestic US managers, They want you miserable, they want you upset, they want you gone. That’s the endgame.

People in India are used to be crammed together. And that's where they want the jobs.

Officers and VPs have dedicated space, that is all that matters to them, the rest of you, fend for yourselves. Also, their big brother monitoring is beyond anything imaginable.

In their minds, your misery can go a long way and save them the trouble if you quit.

Cmon now. My site has hundreds of contractors listed in web phone too. They often are vendors that work for the company and they use a main address in the same state to build them into web phone. Never even step foot in our location.

“ We have reserved desks but no parking.“

Where do you have reserved desks? “Real” reserved desks, or ones that you pretend are “yours”? Because there are not supposed to be any. Makes me want to go and sit in “your” seat.

Every day 3 or more people in our "neighborhood" will be late due to the lack of parking. On premise but driving around the lot waiting for a parking space to open. We have reserved desks but no parking.

The intent of ATT is to make you miserable so you will quit.
