ATT is not the only one where RTO is affecting those who were previously WFH, even before rhe pandemic.

"Inside Amazon’s Messy Push to Bring Everyone Back to the Office"

"The five-day policy dials back flexibility that predated the pandemic; employees are returning to find they have no desks, not enough parking and still endless virtual meetings."

"A group of employees in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Amazon has 18 offices, submitted a plan to Amazon’s facilities team asking for a new location in the vicinity. The company is short by at least 800 desks in the region."

“If it’s not for you, then that’s OK. You can go and find another company if you want to,” Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman said at a Wall Street Journal event in October. “But for us, that’s what we’ve decided is the best way to operate our company.”

Just you wait, Stankey will double down on RTO for all T employees. Ain't nobody gettin' over on Ole Stankey!

The main difference is that some of these companies are actually places where people want to work and now are leaving for being miserable. But someone the Stank thinks AT&T is some elite place that people even want to come to in the first place anymore.

"RTO (5X9) is better than WFH. Enough said."

You are truly a piece of sh-t. Hope you catch norovirus the next time your pathetic a-s touches one of the disgusting Bedminster toilet seats.

Fun fact. You may work for a terrible company but you don't have to remain their customer. Switch your services to any of the MVNOs from Verizon or T Mobile. Best way to fight back is to hit them in the wallet.

That's a mistake. It's 5X8. At lunch I collaborate! Be careful what you ask for!

RTO (5X9) is better than WFH. Enough said.

Whoa, these companies don't care about employees at all, these companies su-k!

TLDR

Until they do

Yawn.

Nobody cares about your low quality post.

The article goes on to say:

"Jeff Ferris, who has worked at Amazon Web Services for over a decade in Austin, Texas, said he scrambled to find parking on Jan. 6, his first day back full-time. “Got turned away by security at the garage,” he wrote on X. “2,000 people, 900 parking spaces.'"

"Elizabeth Robillard, who works for AWS in Portland, Ore., recently chronicled on LinkedIn what her first week back in the office full-time was like: She posted that she sat in three different desks, had no direct co-workers working from the same location, and she had to store her belongings in a locker overnight or bring them home."

“As productive as before? Nope. Riffing, community, culture, buzzing with creativity? Nope.” she wrote in a post she has since taken down. “Worth it? Nope.”

"Leala Smith, a senior technical writer, left Amazon after 10 years in December. She’d been classified as a virtual employee for seven years but was told she couldn’t keep working on a remote basis."

Sounds just like AT&T!
