Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Any opinions on how this will affect hiring with AT&T?

More craft jobs? Wire/Prem tech hirings? Digital, electronic or systems technician hirings? Since currently we are deemed essential and basically are doing BAU.

They may have to hire more ATO frontline installer/repair techs due to some getting infected with COVID-19.

Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio and Michigan so far that we know, probably more but no safety flashes advising anyone. Top secret, too many techs may take LOA if they knew the numbers that are climbing.
Areas could be notified of cases for safety of others, no names have to be mentioned. Guess the Safety Creed only matters when discipline is involved.

What's the point of working only to be laid off later? Might as well go for walks and watch netflix.

COVID-19 will inflict significant damage to our economy. Some experts are projecting upwards of 30% unemployment. We’re still in the beginning of this thing. I’m hearing suggestions that there will be another wave in the fall and that we’ll be dealing with this pandemic for 18-24 months. Dallas County just extended their stay at home through May 20 IIRC. There will be significant layoffs as people start to fail to pay their bills.

The customer facing tech jobs were already in the plan state of surplus. The Xi Pooh Flu has only paused them. The restructuring Management has already game planned which will result in a significant head count reduction is only on hold.
The optics of force reductions is the only reason they were not implemented. Optics only ...as always ..from the boardroom.
