AT&T Inc. is reducing its office footprint and requiring managers to show up in person at least three days a week, a move that could prompt some people to quit, Chief Executive Officer John Stankey said in an interview with Matt Miller on Bloomberg Radio.
The largest US telecommunications company, which has operations in all 50 states, will consolidate into nine core offices with two main hubs in Dallas and Atlanta. The other locations are Los Angeles; Seattle; Washington; San Ramon, California; St. Louis and two New Jersey locations Middletown and Bedminster.
The return-to-office mandate, which starts in July in Dallas and Atlanta and will be implemented everywhere else by Sept. 4, will apply to more than 60,000 managers. Stankey said that 85% of those people live near one of the offices. As for the remaining 15%, "many will make decisions that are appropriate to their lives," he said. "If they want to be a part of building a great culture and environment they'll come along on these adjustments and changes.
Others may decide, given the station of life they are in, that they want to move in a different direction.

“ I received relo and know two others who also did.“
No you didn’t, and no you don’t.
I received relo and know two others who also did.
“ The only way to determine if they actually planned to keep you or wanted to get rid of you was how much of a relo package you got.“
You got no relo package. Shaddup.
@ef The only way to determine if they actually planned to keep you or wanted to get rid of you was how much of a relo package you got.
“ Employees with skills in demand have been offered relo money.“
No.
OP what year are you in? !!!
however, while on hubs topics what is JS saying official “hun cities” are now?
how many?
Everyone will be massaged with oil and laid to rest.
Employees with skills in demand have been offered relo money.
Don’t forget:
“…Stankey said employees were offered "generous" relocation services…”
LOL. Baldfaced unadulterated lie.
Yes, several year old interview but also interesting how much they also lied in it. Seattle was Redmond and Bothell. Redmond already gone and Bothell to follow. Middletown has been gutted from 5 buildings to 1 and official town plan has "affordable housing" going in that lot to replace the 4 so wouldn't count on that lasting in the long term. Bedminter and LA offices already moved. Several st louis buildings closed up and many orgs told to move to Dallas. Even Dallas hub itself won't remain in Dallas.
So that's just old hubs. Then there are invented new hubs like Baich's charlotte to eventually move CSO out of mostly the NJ "claimed hubs".
And of course individual exceptions everywhere.
@b5 , the sooner the better.
Doing your best of posts.
Soon the world will end.
Every center shall eventually be closed and everyone ultimately should assume that they'll be laid off.
Old, recycled click bait. Relevancy nor fact based content has never been a thing on this board.
Who is posting old recycled shyt from 2023?
@ab quiet please.
Welcome to 2025
This reads like it came out in 2025
Also why is this board obsessed with bringing up Bloomington? Not relevant!
Stanky quote “building a great culture and environment”. Good Lord. Seriously? I’ll have whatever he’s having.
@a2 I’m 100% on board with Bloomington closing and every one of those people chopped hard. That building is loaded with lazy, rude people. Especially the RAN folks. Incompetence runs very high.
Rumors going around between Dallas and Atlanta about Bloomington Minnesota closing by end of 1st quarter next year due to unfriendly business environment and labor issues.
