AT&T/Accenture - November 4th 2019

November 4th 2019 they will be coming into our Bedminster NJ and Atlanta locations to have the AT&T FBO employees train them how to work in our systems and how we do everything.

No bigger slap in the face than we are letting you go and don’t care if u have a family oh and do us one last favor train them how to do your job!!!

I thought AT&T was better than this well I thought wrong...

Accenture must be able to perform all assigned tasks by early 2nd quarter 2051. AT&T FBO will need to complete training by late 1st quarter 2051. This will allow adequate training of replacement personnel.

2 PM est was notification call and 3 PM est was all clear call. 3Q written notice to be off payroll in 60 days with November being the target for off payroll. Accenture employees, once hired, will company to a few collab centers and employees flown their to train them and this will be done in waves. Very poorly communicated and planned by a poor leadership team who keep repeating that them (AVPs) and the VP don't agree with this and believe it will fail - which makes this even more frustrating to comprehend the logic.

They can go ahead and try to deny severance or team award... and win prizes like bad publicity with age discrimination and national origin discrimination suits. Severance is given in exchange for a written promise not to sue. I suspect that's some director or AVP trying to look and sound tough... has that been run past HR and Legal?

How can they prove a bad handoff? All you have to do is be polite and show them how to look up app contacts in MOTS, give them the link to the almost empty team sharepoint, and talk about how you analyse the bills and decide what to do... They won't be able to do sh$t with that! They can record conference calls and key strokes all day and still be useless.

Folks in Jersey were told if the company feels they didn't "knowledge share" enough they'd be denied their severance pay. Nothing like intimidation and threats !

I would never train my replacement! Feed them babble, delay, make excuses, blow them off and spend you real time finding a new job.

My 1st level manager did. Apparently there are 2 calls. One at 2pm ET and one at 3pm ET. Either it's the good call and the bad call or one for 1st levels and another for 2nd level and above. Not sure at this point.

Why would at&t care if you have a family, they only care about the bottom line. People don't matter, only EBIAT and the c-suite padding their golden parachutes.
