Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@cs you write this in every post, yet you keep coming back to this site. all the time. it's weird how much you come to this site if we're honest.

if this hurts you so much, then get back to your work and do mine as well.

i need you to keep doing it all. i'm going to 8 and skate. thanks for taking on my workload brutha!!

You cry and moan every day
and yet you stay
You curse RTO and Stankey every day
and yet you stay

If the majority of your team is gone, chances are your work is about to be shipped overseas. Just watch. They have likely already started another team elsewhere. You’ll be slammed initially, then the work will slowly change to where you only get things that are “one-offs.” Then, you discover that another team has talent your work and you’re being cut.

@a9

About as many as the bootlicking posts like yours.

They do not care about morale. We just had a 47% cut in our organization. In one roll alone, 17 were age 50 or over, and six were under 50..

Leadership in one organization did not even know what people were talking about when they asked about people stepping up to retire before the layoff. She said that would not be taken into consideration.

“Nothing has changed, and the total number of employees continues to decrease drastically year over year.”
A fact at all major tech corporations.

Sadly 10% which possibly 10 were pos bosses, managers that are boot lickers.
90% are good producers now anet with the great line “wish you nothing but the best “

@a5 agreed. It’s a slow death.. and sadly this is actually occurring with people stress, heart attacks, panic attacks and sadly sui-idal.
Disgraceful group of sl--e dictatorship

70% of my group was effected

@a9 "look at all the “8 and Skate”

Yeah, interestingly enough that attitude did not exist until Stank drove the culture into the curb. The "8 & Skate" culture is a direct result of employees realizing that their time outside 8 hours was worth more than T was willing to pay for the extra hours. Stank told us numerous times how unimportant we really are to his company. That we are too old even though he is older than most of his "target" audience. I am one who quit in place because Stank said that I am not that valuable to the company. Well, those hours after 8 are a lot more valuable to me doing other things then working for AT&T.

A guy asked C. Anthony about morale during the town hall last week. He responded in so many words, all companies stink right now - pick your poison.
It’s all part of the plan.

T has been bloated forever. Rightsizing has been needed for decades. Just look at all the “8 and Skate” posts made on here nonstop.

OP-

100% correct, but T has been a circus for YEARS now.
Nothing has changed, and the total number of employees continues to decrease drastically year over year.

Morale??

You’re funny.

Like that’s been a “thing” for more than a decade now.

I was also told that the estimate was about a 10% RIF across all of T, my partner said that the number of managers on the Monday pre announcement notification call was staggering, and that we should expect continued smaller targeted layoffs ongoing and then another larger 10%++ layoff around Sept-Oct of this year, then a reset and some right-sizing going into Q1/27 with the overall vision to drop the current workforce as of Monday's headcount by 30%. Good Luck Everyone

Stank is most hated of all time, any company. Never met anyone who agrees with a single thing he attempts. Sad!

Big stink and “RTO” ruined the company. That’s his legacy now.

I'm hearing estimates of around 10% which if true means 10k+ were impacted.
