Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

I’m not surprised by this mentality. This was the way it was from most of my teammates. The few who did help others should be commended not criticized.

Can you spell collaboration?

Be professional as long as you are being paid. Look for opportunities inside and out. Look for good references and impress them in your final days.

Terrible advice...

What a loser union like idea. It always surprises me when fools spew this kind of non-sense.
Reminds me of the day when a union rep said to the group, mark out the bar codes on the envelopes addressed the company so that a mail sorter machine can't do it and a human will be needed.

Seriously, if you think that will save your job, you really haven't been paying attention. Like the other said, your just facts on a spreadsheet, age/service/salary/gender/etc.

Last job I had, I literally worked myself out of the job. I saw that and applied for other jobs. I was fortunate, I found another job somewhat quickly. My co-workers, all three of them transitioned into other jobs in the BU. Worked out well for all of us.

Nah fam, not sharing your knowledge will NOT save your job, ask the multiple people on my team who tried that strategy and were either surplussed or fired how that worked out for them. Besides that, do not for one nanosecond believe that the people making decisions on who to cut remotely consider whether you have unique knowledge or not. You're just a number in a spreadsheet and you'll be more attractive to your next hiring manager by showing you can work yourself out of a job by knowledge sharing.
