I've been with the company only a few years and I'm looking to move up in management. I know company at times su-ks but I'm willing to stay around. The question, when you promote, and they submit a a offer, how much more can you negotiate it? Or is it set in stone?

If there is such a thing as negotiable salary at ATT, it is reserved for upper echelons of managment.
Take it or leave is their attitude
There’s no negotiation. You get what they offer.
It’s not worth it to go from occupational to management. You’ll get a 5% bump over what you are currently making and HR will absolutely not negotiate with you. You’ll get less benefits, less vacation and likely no OT to go along with more work and more responsibility.
they are laying off a ton of people in july for wave 2. tons of wave 3 layoffs in december. if you are in Dallas, you could become an AVP in a day. I heard they hired a 16 year old to be an AVP the other day, there's really no background needed.
also, you can definitely negotiate. when you get promoted, immediately ask for a 20% raise. If you ask it quick enough before they submit the req, you'll get it. and 20% is the max. Some have gotten 25% increases, but its rare. demand 2nd line at least. 1st line hiring is for high schoolers.
in the end, you are sitting at a perfect time to pick over the corpses of thousands of att careers. someday the company will do it to you too. so, embrace your moment and get yours.
If it is a level jump the standard is 10%. If it is a mid-tier jump you will be lucky to get 5%. I look at it as a work to pay ratio. Is a 5-10% pay increase (you'll lose half to taxes) worth an increase of x% in work load?
Waiting for a promotion? You are N U T s.
Leave now, Toxic-T will only get a lot worse.
If you want more than the standard 10% you need to leave the business and be keyed eligible for re-hire. Take the 6-month break in service, and bid on a job and come back and negotiate a good salary
Depends on where your current salary is in the pay band. Typically it’s a 10% or so bump. If you’re below the minimum, they will give you the minimum.
It’s usually a 15% bump. If that total would be less than the new position’s minimum pay you’d be bumped to that minimum. If it exceeds the max you’d be reduced to that max.
Exceptions are rare but possible usually to adjust toward the median salary if you’re tenured and have performed exceptionally consistently but paid less than a majority of your peers in your current role.
