Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Is there anything you're grateful about working at T?

In the spirit of the day, put down one thing you're grateful about working here. For me it's my pay. When I joined five years ago, I got a nice pay bump and it's kept up over the years. It's not enough to make up for all the other issues, like subpar benefits and toxic culture among many other issues, but at least there's something.

Working at T is easy. 8 and out not a worry in the world. To be honest I only work like 2 hours a day at best. Show up go to breakfast then surf the internet for a couple hours then off to lunch. After lunch surf the internet a little more then head home. Being in management is simple becasue you have people under you that do all the work. Its a joke!

Great money for no degree. Funny how a guy with no degree makes as much as a guy with a masters here.

Grateful to T for supporting through thick and thin through out these years. Shame on me for not utilizing the free time to upskill and jump ship.

Grateful I started at Pacific Bell and had a 7 figure pension (lump sum) when I walked out the door to add to a very healthy portfolio .... and can watch the mo--ns (aka Sr Leadership) and grin with leaving on my terms and warm my hands to the dumpster fire lit by Stanley.....

I am grateful that we have so many possible ways to not work but still get paid and be able to laugh about it while staying active with a fun and healthy lifestyle.
