Who’s going to ask the tough questions?
Where do you feel the company culture and employee satisfaction are at today?
Where’s the McKinsey survey results?
Employee morale is at an all time low. What’s leaderships plan to change that?
Post questions you want asked below
ok sorry but it was so obviously scripted by ALL Jeff McKrapfish, Jennifer and Melissa. I wouldn't have even doubted for a millisecond the
"open mic answers were on teleprompter"
The topping on the fcking cake was at the end, his indignant bs about how we have to care about the field techs! I have over 30 years in the company and I fully respect the field guys as they are vital, so is he saying MY department which is a revenue center along with its employees are lowly pieces of subservient schtt??? sure sounded like it. The managers who are EXEMPT and work under me are technically 24x7 they get paid no more or less if I call out of hours. The craft folks through their arrangement get OT and Double OT.. so we now need to cater to them?.. well it was so obvious it was a scripted response, total sham. He responded to a question about RTO that wasn't even asked that was so obvious. so to you all, John Stinky included. you are ALL dishonest lying untrustworth pieces of dog ofal worthy of being scorned publicly.
Mcselfish will always choose wrong..fck him and fck his customer base if he thinks employees arent part of this so called customer base of him. We are the 3rd lowest subscribers, we are behind in 5g behind Tmobile and we dont offer any streaming subscriptions on our phone plans and who the fock cares about active armor??? Its pathetic.
Jeff you are a pathetic s-b, u know it, we all know it. Your rto with no assigned seats "patience" is not just cruel but hostile. You pos have assigned cubicles and parking, meanwhile we get towed here in Alpharetta.
That’s it. I am never joining another Town Hall from anyone other than my direct supervisor team meeting. If they are not in my office collaborating with me, then they obviously aren’t important to my in office agenda.
I am going on a Town Hall strike.
What a cluster f u c k. Wtf did I watch.
His RTO answer felt like how the billionaire class wants all of us fighting each other instead of fighting them. "Don't you care about the techs? Then you can't complain about RTO!" Like... no. Our company should care about the dignity, safety, and comfort of ALL of the workers. Everyone should have the resources they need to do their job. For techs that includes safe, clean buildings and vehicles. For managers that includes safe, clean buildings and office space.
As far as him saying we don't have enough money to do both... no, the company CHOOSES to use its money for other things and over many years of neglect you chose this for your employees.
Seriously, don't pit us all against each other. We're all in this together.
Not sure why he seemed so bitter. I put in 10 hour days WFH for years. So many lives have been upended for RTO. A little understanding and flexibility like 6 hours some days or 3-4 days a week instead of 5 would help while we adjust to this completely new way of life.
What a colossal waste of time. Don’t “feed” the megalomaniacs.
He is definitely NOT trust worthy!
The last several minutes were saved for his seething contempt he holds for the audience.
McElfresh clearly hates the managers who are assigned to offices. His attitude was boiling over.
Not at all impressed by him. Hopefully he quits or gets fired
Open Mic? I think Putin and Kim Jung-un are more welcoming to the audience/ opposition.
Pathetic and I don’t appreciate the level of hatred directed towards managers.
Thank God I’m a wireless tech. There’s absolutely no way in h*ll I’d work for this company as ANY type of manager. I feel for you people. I really do. I’ve personally experienced how miserable you are here in having to interface with the inside. For me, it’s either MOBILITY tech or another company. I’m not trying to be a wide guy here. I know very well what you’re going through.
“Obligation”
The last time I checked, frontline employees are NOT 24x7 employees like MANY managers are.
What a nasty, shameful performance.
How many times did he rehearse that RTO speech in the mirror this morning?
Hi. I’m a millionaire leader at AT&T and I host town halls. I lack the confidence and fortitude to take on real questions posed to me by lowly employees. Instead I will cherry pick, evade and eat up time because I think nobody will be able to tell. Lunatic fringe.
1 hour wasted
It's not "perfect".
You have nowhere to park or sit, and the reporting is stating you're not working your 8 hours when you in fact are.
Thank you to those 3 places..the rest of you STFU , your time is ending, soon.
What no survey on the town hall!
The answer in a nutshell - “Shame on YOU for asking about RTO. Blah blah, not everyone could work from home. You aren’t putting in effort unless you are in the office. Being in the office is a privilege. You are on OUR time. Your family should take a backseat to being in the office so we can make decisions faster. We are OBLIGATED to be in the office. We owe it to the techs in the field to line up with THEIR schedule.”
Nutshell nutshell - “We only want techs to be happy. Learn to love roaches and rat fe--s. But have empathy, and give grace. Just remember - you don’t get any grace.”
So give me a tech salary and benefits.
Why can’t I get a freaking assigned desk? Instead I sit in broken chairs with cr-p equipment.
Jeff is a great example of saying a lot, while saying nothing
Shhhh!
Everyone listen up.
The guy with a private office, parking space and a driver is talking about why RTO is no big deal.
hit the record button
Worse townhall ever. And that’s an accomplishment.
Now don’t be condescending Jeff
Has anyone asked the operative question, 'aren't we just managing decline"? Anyone?
overall.. how many AT&T people put this into their TOP questions to ask Jeff that they think about this daily..
"is AT&T getting out of the copper business by 2029"
the F#%@$ ???? who asks that?
They really just want sheep working here.
“Join a town hall and listen to us not address your concerns”.
Did Susan just say DSL is a 50 year old product???
curated questions - what a joke
The nerd McElfresh can not even dribble a ball. Poor guy probably had 3 Ultras and is just getting over his hangover. What a pompous buthead.
45min into a 1 hour call and they are just starting with the 3rd question in Q&A….dragging these questions out.
1 question needing to be answered by multiple people, just to take up time and AVOID the real questions people want answered!
Almost time to start closing it out.
Really saved time for all the important questions.
After this worthless open mic is Jeff going outside to help direct RTO parking traffic?
such bullsheet. the TOP 3 questions are all about RTO. Jeff picks 1 obscure question to which three Jennnifer, Melissa and Jeff launch into a 30 minute diatribe about every bs you can imagine. UNREAL.. 2nd question is so lame, about the age children should have a cell phone and what Jeffs thoughts are about it..
Top 4 questions on the video board are ALL RTO.. with thousands of upvotes.. he picks "tariffs" how many employees put that in their TOP.. I gotta worry about that for ATT
ok Im done
OK, and the poorly worded and spelled question from the guy with 2 years in a call center, stating that he does not have a college degree and no interest in getting one, but what should he do to move up in the company (does not believe a degree is needed to perform at a high level but is just looking for some "insite")
"Not crackles ……again."
Pam from The Office... Like a cardboard cutout.
NOOOOOOOOOO
Not crackles ……again.
