Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

New guys in Atlanta

There must have been another group of folks that had to start reporting today. Noticed a few more wandering around looking slightly lost and rather unable to find seating. One thought he'd found a place to start working and was quickly told he wasn't allowed to sit there. He looked so defeated.

I will not lie; I would have been one of those people if a colleague hadn't given me a heads up a couple weeks ago. My boss didn't give any guidance that some of this needed to be done. Just reminded me that I need to be reporting there on the given date.

Even more amusing is the number of freshies who don't have access to anything--some couldn't even get in the parking deck to go parking space hunting. Their bosses never told them they had to get all sorts of permissions/access added.

Meanwhile some animals are more equal than others and have assigned desks. Newsflash if you are 5x8 and have been since at least Jan you are in an org targeted for reduction.

He would hit the floor so fast that he would not realize he'd been struck.

“ Gotta ask the supervisor if the desk is available first“

No, you don’t. There is no assigned seating. It’s hard to fathom what colossal pu----s some of you seem to be.

The seats open, I’m sitting in it. That’s it.

Sounds like he failed the first test of dominance in the AT&T hunger games. He better learn quick that unless they have the power to fire you, they don't get to tell you where you can and can't sit in the drop-in call center Thunderdome. I recommend raising your voice immediately and make it a spectacle. Ask for documentation on who owns what office space.
