Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

When pension is no longer worth waiting for.

17 years with the business, still far from meeting the MR 75.
I had an honest conversation with my L3 this morning about my future with T. I told her that after a decade of being fully remote and exceeding performance expectations, I can’t see myself punching the clock and sitting behind a desk with my head down for the next 8 years. The answer? “Your call, this is the new directive”. I really think the time has come. I can’t blame my immediate leadership either, but boy is 2025 starting off on the wrong foot.

leave you will be much happier. mr75 does not mean much anymore. leave and get the pension buyout and make yourself more money than what you would had with the pension.

I would not trust att with my pension left on my own took the buyout and have not regretted it. when you get hired by a great company you realize how badly run att is. att is a horrible company no matter how low stankey talks.

A lot of people are planning to move on. Yes that is the plan by “leadership” to cut people. It’s working, but it’s backfiring like all their other plans. they are cutting the wrong people (younger workers, best talent) as those are the first to move and most mobile. They will realize it soon enough when the resignations start pouring in. Folks already retirement eligible and waiting on severance won’t budge.

I retired young after achieving the MR with 27 yrs and it's the best thing that has happened to me since the pre sliced bread invention.
There are no benefits worth staying and retiring. Everything from the competition is as good or better and for sure the pricing for same is much more competitive.
Cell Phone = Mint Mobile $10mo
Internet = $30 Cox or Spectrum (just ask)
VOIP = OOMA $6.00 mo.
Streaming TV = $35 Sling

This is the exact type of mindset the C suite hopes to stoke. That is, folks on their last nerve looking to “voluntarily” leave.

If physically working in an office is that much of an issue, you should leave. You are not the type of employee T needs.

MR75 gets you continued dental and vision which isn’t worth much and they can cancel at any time. It gets you meager discounts. The only thing worth it is if you have a specific pension that has a sizable bump at the end. Other than that take the money and run.

I also am starting the foot wrong on 2025.
I and team have many of feet which cannot agree on such RTO punch of clock.
Each of the time we take turn with feet, punching, punching and still more punching but still the feets cannot make fist. Unless or until the clock can break with big feet we must still do more of the punching.

What did you think she was going to say?

She has the same amount of influence to affect any change in policy that you do. Which is to say , none.

MR 75 gets you very little. Invest in your mental health and determine what is truly “worth it”. There is life outside ATT
