I would really love to see the employee numbers for AT&T, compared to the numerals from the same time last year ( the real ones, not the ones presented in the media). Think that we would all be shocked to see how many people lost their job at AT&T, in one way or the other. Given that we are such a big company, with locations laid out at different parts of the country, I think that most of us aren't aware of how much people are losing their jobs on a daily basis.

I have been running an SQL query on webphone ever since the first surplus back on January 21, 2019. As of today 10/29 we have dropped 13,470 employees. From 261,764 on 1/21 to 248,294 on 10/29.
Losses by mgt level (1/21-10/29):
NM lost 8409
1st lost 2568
2nd lost 2369
3rd lost 69
4th lost 11
5th lost 40
6th lost 4

Do a find on employees. 251,840
What we don't see is the number of contractors. There has been this outsourcing to IBM and others. Without the contractor numbers, we can't get any idea whether they are doing things more efficiently or not.
This place has turned into such a complete clusterf#ck nobody knows what's going on anymore.
Page 16 of the financial statements. 9 month period. Total Employees. 2018—269,280 2019—251,840.
From the quarterly reports they are only down about 5000 from 1 year ago.
Yep , they don’t count those that are re-badged as surplused so right there the numbers are skewed.
Yep probably will never know and will continue as standard operating procedure.
