Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

What’s the point of RTO, again?

This pretty much sums it all:

And seriously, as much as I don't like RTO and the office consolidation, if there any real chance of local teams and in person collaboration, it would make sense. But there's no plan for that. For crying out loud, my leadership (and I use that term very very loosely) is in Israel. My development team is in all 4 of the ATS hubs. There's no face to face. Every meeting is still going to be on Teams. Nothing is going to change except Stankey gets to pretend he's the happy little tyrant that gets his way, with Legg sitting in front of him licking his boots.

Yesterday was my first collaboration in the two plus years we’ve been in the office. Both were 45+ years with the company who were complaining they had to come to the office once a month. Most the rest RTO types I use to see in the office 2 to 3 times a week aren’t doing the same in a month. Im grateful since I can find parking and a desk now and less sick senior types who feel a business owes them for being around so long. Instead of dragging morale and productivity down att needs to offer them anything to leave.

If your group all sites remotely and works through Teams, then your group is a good potential for outsourcing. Its good remote work.

“If there any real chance of local teams and in person collaboration”
Create your own opportunity by engaging with local coworkers. RTO now gives employees two sets of coworkers.

It doesn’t matter. We were told to RTO. Quit your whining and RTO. Y’all cry more than a three year old.

This is really easy and simple. AT&T has to cut headcount of almost any non low cost center personnel. A fiber and mobility strategy at best can support 75k employees and a lot of that needs to be low cost overseas employees. Mobility will never overtake Verizon or T-mobile. The fiber strategy is almost 20 years too late if you want to be market dominant and truly profitable. This is going to be a very average company that will trudge along with the stock permanently under twenty bucks due to the massive debt.
