Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Customer Service & Operations (CS&O) is going to get it ..

Rumor has it that CS&O gets it this Thursday. People are supposed to getting their letters to move to a hub city otherwise they are off payroll on March 5th.

Can anyone corroborate this?

Please give techs in cwa letters, so many don’t want to be here and ready to leave this mess of a company.

Off payroll by the day before bonus payday? I could not ask for better timing than that!

Chicago isn't a hub. It's a "spoke"

I asked my boss earlier. He said CS&O might be, but not under our VP.

Townes the overacheiver, the king a ss kisser has already been enforcing 5 days / week since the original mandate. He is really full of himself too.

"If he officially forces 5 days in the office, I’ll make sure to follow the rules to a tee and he won’t get flexibility from me in return."

Flexibility? You're crying about having to work from an office. Sounds like you are already inflexible.

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Townes announces 5 days in the office. He’s been moving in that direction for the last couple of months and making mention on Town Hall that he wants to be first and everybody else can follow his lead. He should realize of course that will have a negative impact on productivity from his salaried staff. Removing flexibility and not aligning with the corporate policy of 3 mandatory and more optional will not go over well.

Flexibility is a two way street. If he officially forces 5 days in the office, I’ll make sure to follow the rules to a tee and he won’t get flexibility from me in return. In the door at 8am and out the door at 5pm, no exceptions, no extra work, no working thru lunch, nada. If you want your salaried managers to act like union type occupational employees, I’m happy to accommodate.

Supposedly, layoff announcements happen on the 3rd Friday of every month. While 2/22 is on a Thursday, Friday the 23rd is a 3rd Friday so that kinda tracks.

Please give me my notice on March 15th cuz I'm ready and more than willing to leave AT&T employment! I'm collective bargaining, but would gladly give my job in place of someone that needs to be employed for the sake of supporting his/her family!

the L3's and L4's in this org should go immediately, talk about drain on the budget, my L3's only claim to fame was being a manager in the GCSC. I was always on contracts that didn't even use the GCSC as it was chock full of id--ts and totally useless. I have more skills in my little finger than my LE Engineering L3.

Some of us who are ready to retire will hopefully get the VTP on March 15th.

Hub cities on my list are Seattle, New Jersey, Dallas and Atlanta.
Spokes are San Ramon, Austin, Chicago, Tampa...

This was from that call Legg had a couple of weeks ago.

Outside of Dallas and Atlanta what locations are considered a Hub/Spoke? That’s never been clear and seems to always change but I’ve seen nothing in writing

Less than 2 week notice seems suspect

So they're being given two weeks to sell their house and move? Their previous notifiers were tight, but not two weeks.
