Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Why do “leadership” hate the employees?

We’re all adults here with careers, families, mortgages, and kids.

Yet we’re being treated like toddlers who need constant supervision, or maybe Stink just thinks we’re his prisoners.

Presence reports. Badge tracking. Attendance monitoring. Endless RTO enforcement. Isn’t it a bit much?.. All of it sends the same message, leadership doesn’t trust its employees, and once trust is gone, disengagement follows.

Seriously, why would anyone want to work in an environment like this?

The company talks endlessly about “culture” while implementing policies that actively destroy it.

The result is exactly what you’d expect, lower morale, higher turnover, and employees spending more time worrying about presence reports, FTW letters, and layoffs than innovation or growth.

When professionals are treated like they’re one badge swipe away from detention, it’s hard to feel respected or motivated. Especially when they’re blaming the masses for the faults of 1% who are no longer here.

You can mandate attendance, but you can’t mandate trust, engagement, or hard work & dedication. Loyalty and trust go hand in hand, and this CEO said “loyalty is dead”.

Stank called employees human capital. Simply a line item in a spreadsheet. Nothing more to think about than that as to why they treat people as they do.

Stank has always been a hardnosed leader. Thats what he knows, so thats the expectation of his staff. His leadership style is more 1980’s, but he’s at the top so everyone deals with it.
Dont think upper mgmt is any happier about his leadership than regular employees.

They hate those that are underperforming and always complaining. You act like a baby, you get treated like a baby.

They would not be in leadership at AT&T if they had any empathy or love in their heart whatsoever. These people would just as soon stand you and everyone you know up next to a nice big hole in the ground and cap you in the back of the head and let your carcass fall into the hole. Every one of them would have made the SS recoil with their callousness. Real leadership is putting your team's needs BEFORE your own. I have not see that a single time since AT&T took my company over.

I don’t think they hate us. I believe their perspective is wrong. They view us as expenses and liabilities when they should view us as assets. Any company worth its salt should realize that their workforce makes the company - not technology, not hardware or software or AI - but the people who, with aligned values, make their company what it is. But from their 35,000 foot level, they only see us as headcount that is costing them money.
