Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Off Topic - what is this Empower BS???

Anyone under Marachel in ATO is either volunteering for this EMPOWER bs? Like we already don't have a lot of work to do after series of layoffs and being dumped more work towards our already skeleton crew? Who the fooocks think of this stupidity???

Blaming us again for not being empowered coz we gave them -13 enps? Well that will be -100 next yr if this bs continues.

Second this comment: "The "change agents" or whatever they're called who volunteered to roll this out to everyone don't know anything more about it than anyone else."

In reality: Don't shoot the messengers, we will show you the website and how it works, we don't know anything about the content or roll out or what's required. Good luck with that.

"Boycott 2020 eNPS! Having 0% participation rate will send a message. "

I gotta say, I am one that always fills it out and there was some satisfaction this time seeing leadership squirm discussing how thoroughly poorly the minions view their leadership abilities.

That said, you're right. If no one filled this out it would send a much stronger message. I just don't think that it's realistic unfortunately. most people will continue to fill it out.

More complete and utter nonsense. The "change agents" or whatever they're called who volunteered to roll this out to everyone don't know anything more about it than anyone else. Quite possibly the worst rollout of any mandatory training/ initiative I've seen over 20 + years. And that's saying something.

Width 44 inches

11 x 11 6

  1. 24 2 feet

2 6x66 4
2 6x64 4
4 2.5x50.5 6

24 + 24 + 15 = 63 5 feet, 3 inches

Misguided attempt so the sudo leadership team can claim credit for doing something. Most level 1 and 2 are team players who will work together and solve problems. What they are not empowered to solve: structural org problems, turf wars, self serving metrics junkies, weak vendor management. Root cause goes way beyond the folks who are strongly encouraged to participate. Ironic, first module was about getting to root cause.

It’s punishment for the bad scores we all gave leadership on the survey earlier this year... basically bunch of BS

Obviously we were right there JD?! 😂

" Don't take it at all and they're going to get beat up and they won't have anything to point to to say they're fixing it. "

Can confirm. Numbers show our eNPS organizational participation rate @ ~70% and man did upper management have a cow about it.

Personally, unless something positive changes for next year, those numbers are likely to be quite a bit lower I think.

More propaganda...how can you feel empowered when you are so buried in work and subjected to micromanagement to no end?

This is why you don't fill out the enps - you score them high, they all pat each other on the back and hand out bonuses to the directors and vps - score it bad and they come up with some bs like this to address everyone's complaints.

Don't take it at all and they're going to get beat up and they won't have anything to point to to say they're fixing it.

Don't take the enps, dummies.

We were told it was strictly voluntary BUT strongly recommended that we do it. It is stupid as hell.

At least you have a job and we’re not surplused. Coming here for sympathy because your job sux because t decided to surplus people is pretty cold and shows the kind of people t is keeping.

But I am sure it is just another bs program t is coming up with just so some vote can put it on their a and d and get more stock options or whatever they give the vps.
