Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Many of us were remote pre-Covid. I was a remote worker for 18 years. My entire group was eliminated and our jobs were outsourced. This will continue to happen into next year.

every company does this. u look at nvda/msft/amzn. god this forum is filled with useless topics everyday, level 0 employees or fired 1A id--ts that have nothing else to do than go here and spam

maybe they bought dtv to take them down with them

The Article is a bit misleading. Head count and revenue was going to go down due to divesting all those parts of the business. To know where we stand for sure, we need to know head counts and revenue pre Directv and WB buys.

History repeating itself, went through it with the real AT&T (not knockoff SW Bell) in the 1980's & 1990's.

Make no mistake….the cr00ked BoD is totally complicit in this (intentional) destruction.

Stankey knows arrogance, incompetence,idiocy , debt, layoffs and negative shareholder value

The Stank created many problems and destruction over the years. The devastation started with the Strategic EVP / COO reign (lost track of reorgs). Yet he is there 'fixing' the problems ? His tenure is one of worst in corporate history. Never should have been promoted 2 rungs let alone to the top. HOLE KEEPS GETTING DEEPER. Where is the BOD?

I know all kinds of people in the Southeast not included in the nine. Were they exempt? Especially the contractors.

AT&T has the MOST expensive executives in ANY business.

This is not new news. Leadership has been very transparent that HC will be less than 100K by EOY 2025. A decision was made just to be a service provider (wireless & fiber) has impacts.

Down to 9??? There’s people all over the place outside the 9…. What’s up with that?

For the majority of this number of jobs in this post, they spun off or sold the businesses containing the jobs, but the jobs continue under the new management or owner.

There is a big difference between a spin off and a layoff.

“ this is a way way way WORSE way of doing workplace reductions.”

You people don’t understand. A company has 2 choices to improve financial performance. Increase revenue or reduce expense. T has absolutely zero intellect left to increase revenue, so they continue to cut their way to profitability. It’s going to crash , and crash very hard for every employee sooner than later. Continue to ignore how sick this company is and you’re going to get caught scrambling to find a job. A smarter angle would be to plan your exit.

” Got rid of unneeded workers. Right sizing the company.”

This is how outsiders and investors view this but the reality is that cutting this way doesn’t get rid of unneeded workers, it gets rid of ones who won’t relocate. The Venn diagram of those groups is not the same, this is a way way way WORSE way of doing workplace reductions.

With a layoff managers could cut the bottom X% of performers and actually improve the company. With this, good people doing good work will be lost for no reason. This is really smooth brain stuff from leadership.

Only 70k left to go….will be done by 2025.

9 offices? They blew off about 80% of this or didn’t do it yet. From my vantage point people did not move and did not RTO. No layoffs either. Granted this is just what I see I know others did not fair so well.

Got rid of unneeded workers. Right sizing the company.

If you take out all the stupid acquisitions that were made and then jettisoned, what are the numbers?

“get the right people doing similar functions in the right places.”

Does anyone believe this?

It's a cover story for forcing a large layoff that's not subject to scrutiny. "We moved the work!" No, ya didn't, you just created constructive discharge conditions for thousands of now or soon-to-be former employees.

The only need is for the shareholders to get off their stupid @sses and vote out the BoD that keeps the Stink - then replace the Stink!

Nothing will improve until that occurs.

The Stink thinks he can get down to a head count of 1 - himself!

T needs only about 60,000 employees only to keep up with operations and maintenance
100,000 more to go in the next 3 years

This has been a good start.
