Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

The betrayal cuts deep

The betrayal is deep for those of us that moved to a hub. I am not bagging on those that did not move -- more power to you but STFU on this post cuz you can not possibly resonate.

I moved my family here because of our personal situation. AGAIN - if you didn't move for your job, consider yourself blessed and STFU!

My family moved to the "red state of he-l" to keep a bread winner in the family. My work experience has been anything but positive in TX but our home life has been tolerable due to flextime. We were the ones that complied by moving but are now facing the greatest betrayal of all time. Exempt managers should not be required to use vacation time because their doctor appointment is at 10:30am. They should be allowed to work remote before the appointment & get to their "mandatory" office afterwards -- nope; it's not the closest to my home. 😉 And I happen to have a condition that requires 2 appointments per week. I previously scheduled these appointments first thing in the morning so I could work my full day at home but now my AVP thinks I should drive 1 hour each way using my vacation time before & after my appointment.

And btw, the trolls on the site are disgusting. I am embarrassed for you, sorry for your family & disgusted you may be my peer.

Posting because I feel so betrayed by leadership. I used to have so much pride working here.

Use sick time for dr appointments.

every day in the office might as well be a colonoscopy exam at the doctor's office.

The policy for doctor’s appointments states that sick time is able to be used for these appointments. I would think that the travel to and from the doctor’s office is included in that as well.

Sorry you moved for this Dumpster fire of a company. I truly understand how hard that decision was. Just start looking for something else man. Find something at another company before they surplus you. They are certainly going to surplus you. We were reorged just before the last round of layoffs and tons of people in Atlanta were let go. You're not safe there, find another role at another company before the inevitable happens.

I resonate with this post. I’ve been finding my self using PTO to cover doctors appointments too. This job has turned into a major disappointment and I don’t wish it on anybody.

The trolls on this site have nothing better to do with their lives. More than half of them probably agree with the fact that AT&T is a sh-tshow but wanna make jokes and say stupid things to get people riled up, which btw is working lolol. Sorry to hear about your situation OP, hope it gets better over time!!!
