Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Stankey needs to go for corporate culture change

Stankey stated that company's corporate culture needs to change. Yes, it does but you do realize YOU were the one that changed it. Since you became CEO here are just a few of the changes that led to the culture of today:

taking away of vacation time

taking away of medical in retirement for those pre-65

increasingly more expensive, less coverage medical options

major reductions in pension contributions

taking away 96,000 employees pension and transferring it to a life insurance company

taken away all company product discounts for those that retired after 2021

allow everyone to work from home when it benefited the company and then force everyone not only to come back into the office (including all of us who were deemed TW prior to 2020) but also make employees move on their own dime to a hub location

continuous employees firings (lets not call it 'right-sizing, surpluses, or even layoffs or 'rebadging'. it's getting rid of employees: it's the firement of employees)

reducing company medical coverage after these firings from 12 months to 6 months (as of Jan. 1, 2024 )

Corporate culture is at an all-time low because you, John Stankey, have made it so. Morale is at an all-time low and will continue to be low until you are gone. Stock will be low until you are gone. You keep stressing you want the boomer generation to be gone -please leave Boomer.

Wonder what Stanley is taking away from us this year. There is ALWAYS something new to shaft the employees each year since he became CEO

Stankey's idea of "unlocking value" is similar to a rancher's kid "unlocking value" by leaving the gate to the corral open and letting the horses run away.

The biz-speak phrase "Corporate culture has to change, blah, blah, blah..." really means "BOHICA" (Bend over, here it comes again)!

You can’t have a culture change when people are WFH.

To actually change culture at AT&T would require termination of all C levels and the next two reporting levels. Maybe around 5K generals that must go. Otherwise the cancer culture will continue.

It’s always a morale booster when senior leadership constantly unsettles employees with, If they don’t like it then, leave. Mission, Culture, Empowerment, Goals all start at the top, look in the mirror Mr. Stankey you will find your answer to the problem.

True except for people coming in to the office. Many are still not doing this and almost none do this 5 days a week

I’ve worked hard to make this a great place to work. I hate reading this board everyday watching you all pile on the complaints. I’m trying to save this place from all you inept workers that are so hard to motivate.

If you give me 5 more years, you’ll all see what I am building and you’ll be begging me to stay on till I’m 75 years old. The stock is going to sky rocket when I’m done firing all of you and cleaning house. Give it time.
