Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

The company “probably be down 15,000 employees from last year to this year, when its all said and done”

They expect to lose 15K people with RTO and relocation to Hubs, by design.

There are timelines indicating final hubs will be in 4 locations. 5 secondary locations like St Louis, MO will be going away in 2024.

Dallas hub includes Plano.

Atlanta hub includes Alpharetta.

Think I remember these right:

Los Angeles hub includes San Ramon

NJ hub includes Brunswick(?)

There has been a drive to hire contractors in India as permanent employees.

Immediately after force relocations in 2018, people who relocated were surplused before home purchases in new locations closed.

Leadership consistently repeats the mantra to remeber that these are jobs not people.

Los Angeles and San Ramon are hundreds of miles apart, I wouldn't consider them to be the same hub (5 hour drive).

NJ = Bedminster and Middletown

Everything else is same as I've heard and read.

I personally know someone who was surplused after a move from Atlanta to Dallas.

"Hubs" rotate around a single point. Multiple hubs means everyone in one hub is remote from everyone in the other—a glaring and obvious truth. This is not about productivity or culture, it's about getting people to leave.
