Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Rumors there may be some targeted offers in SE soon

Union titles of DT and ET in the CNIO org, anyone else have more information? The offer for System Techs back in February was SIPP plus 50k, 7 more years and I’ll put my hand up. I remember when they offered the same back in 2020 for FT & ST titles.

Negotiating, yeah sure, we know how that goes! It takes forever and accomplishes nothing! Seems like the discussions are in passing, nothing serious!

Many of us in the Leg T contract are sure wanting what we call, the VTP, similar to your SIPP, but we have the bitter/sweet "watermark" which is the supposed minimum number of workers, so that blocks layoffs thus the VTP, although they're negotiating a workaround now so hopefully we'll get the VTP. Good luck to you all getting the SIPP.

It’s so funny reading all of the posts of those that said that it will never happen. They look like such fools now 🤣🤣🤣

The never gonna get an offer crowd’s projections, didn’t so age well. I couldn’t print out the form fast enough to sign and return it, it’s my opportunity to leave with a nice going away present. Thanks to Stankey and the Union for making this MOA, Wohoo! 🙌

A nice little 15% bump in SIPP with new contract, paying off now. It’s been real but not fun anymore, time to retire and enjoy the Golden Age. Making more most days in the markets than working.

If free beer is offered, many of us would leave.

They’ll surely keep any SIPP $ for C suite bonuses. They’ll just continue to toxify the environment and put the $crews to us worker bees.

I'm in District 9 (California) and they made offers to almost 400 MSTs and Specials techs, and I think they got enough volunteers to take all the spots! MSTs were offered $25k plus a year of pay and Specials were offered $50k and a year of pay. The ones that took the offer will be out of the company by this Friday.

We are hearing that there will be an offer for Comm Techs and DEG Techs next. The number we are hearing is that they will want up to 300 employees gone.

Sorry for all you Debbie Downers but the offer is real and will be officially announced tomorrow. Stay tuned! My co-worker took the same offer in 2020, SE. Also as OP mentioned they just offered System Techs the same offer in February, not enough accepted so a layoff ensued.

I really wish they would give you all a final offer so we can quit hearing all the bs rumors. Won’t be an offer now or in the future. They’ve already said that in just about every townhall for the past 10 years. Those days are long gone. Retire already.

Stop the rumors, never gonna happen! You union members are wishful thinking out loud! T doesn't have $50k to give away to its employees! I'm a union member and would love nothing more than for you to get a SIPP, but it's over! The days of those types of offers are behind us!

The company is also adding $100k into each of our pensions plus 1000 shares of stock along with free wireless service for life and a free phone every year. And last but not least, the stank will be required to visit every work group and receive public flogging.

Yes, and extra incentives will be thrown in as well, such as season tickets for Dallas Cowboy suites, retired work trucks, and tracks of unused lands formerly used by Long Lines shall be divided up into 10 acre lots and given to those with over 30 years of service as a thank you gift. Also, all those accepting the package will get 5 years pay, tax free.
