Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

"Are some locations better work environments than others?"

There, fixed it for ya

Why are so many from the same locations crossing the line? Are some locations better work environments better than others?

"sitting on the curb all day like you homeless?"

LMAO!! Got me. I needed that this morning.

can drop off a couple of costco pizzas while shopping at costco during work hours.

I have an idea since sycophant bothers his sensitive feelings. Renewed the word of the day, it’s now Su-kophants maybe that will give him some variety.

“ FTLOG...please renew your subscription to Word of the Day because you've overused sycophant. Using the same 'big' word all the time doesn't make you look smart”

It’s the weekend coming up, might only see 1 striker at each location until Monday. Family time and R&R till next week. It was my scheduled weekend, loving the time off. Woohoo!

Love it!

“FTLOG...please renew your subscription to Word of the Day because you've overused sycophant”

Sorry but it’s the best definition for company butt kissers, not changing. The only thing incorrect is “great men”. The last 3 CEO’s have been “great failures”

Sycophant: A base parasite; a mean or servile flatterer; especially, a flatterer of princes and great men.

If you haven't tried Blues Hog, you don't know what you're missing. :)

FTLOG...please renew your subscription to Word of the Day because you've overused sycophant. Using the same 'big' word all the time doesn't make you look smart; it just makes you look like you have a limited vocabulary. And quit using superfluous commas!

Bringing an iced down watermelon for tomorrow’s picket line, it’s good on a hot summer day. Cheeseburgers and chips for lunch.

Always gonna be haters and trolls on here. They used to say we wouldn’t strike but now that it’s happened the sycophants quickly changed to other tactics. If we only had one striker there for the day that’s ok, it’s not a 24/7 job, it’s about Unity, not crossing the line and staying out on strike until, the company bargains in good faith. We are in it, to win it!

Keep working your CP assignment, you know Stankey appreciates it and is gonna reward you for all the extra work. He might even allow you to RTO within 30 miles of your home.

D3: We should pay less for healthcare, because we don't cost as much.

Also D3: We had burgers, and nitrate dogs, and sausage, and chips, sodas, and cookies, and pizzas, and fried chicken fingers.

My favorite was personally the one who stood out there smoking. If you want to pay less for healthcare...stop smoking. It will save you the additional premium charge and probably prolong your life.

A picket site doesn’t require every member out there every day

Two...our site had 2...all day long. Whew! I can feel the power and unity from here.

Don’t blow your strike reserves on food.

Loving the food vibe and Unity being shown by members here.

A picket site doesn’t require every member out there every day, nor do they have to march around in a silly line all day, it’s a picket line not a marching line. The main thing is informing the public, not crossing the line and watching for scabs. There is a weekly minimum of hours each member has to attain for strike pay, anything else is extra and shows Unity. People also follow and video managers to show the incompetence from their poor training, to show the company how much they need us before someone gets hurt or they damage the plant worse. Not every site has grills but main thing is to stay strong, in Unity. Not a problem, nobody has crossed in our local.

“Weird. Our sites are down to about 10% of the strikers that were there earlier this week. No grilling; most just sitting under a tent. Not even waving, picketing, and marching.”

“ The smart money has been in index funds the last few years. 😎”

That’s a long term play, we are talking about readily accessible liquid assets which would be CD’s, 🙄. I can withdraw money from a CD at a moments notice in case of an emergency. Use the ladder method so, one is always maturing, 😎

“ Grasshopper, the smart money put it into CD’s and has interest to use, house money my friend. 😜”

....What?..You been sitting on the curb all day like you homeless? A real man provides for his family. Mr Mabry done come by twice looking for his rent money. What I gone tell him? My man ain't got no paycheck? My man don't care bout his 2 kids? This ain't no ****ing game! People laughing at us. That money I'm putting away is for a real house. How we eva gonna have a house wit no wheels if you too lazy to work? You been cussin that union for 3 years and now you say wait wait wait cuz the big money is coming. You been said that for 9 years.....

To quote a phrase, “an army marches on its stomach”

Eat More in ‘24

Any managers are welcome to come out, enjoy some food and take some pictures with us. Nah! On the other hand, Mr. Stankey would throw a pajama party on you, if he saw those pictures. We wouldn’t want that on our conscience.

We are going to do grilled Mexican street corn and grilled street tacos one day, next week. Can’t wait for that!

Those were great days, whether it was for holidays, team building, or charity work. Plus, we kept the Network in better condition then too. Service was a higher priority. Post-merger we are just trying to remain afloat despite the decisions from Dallas.

Feels like the old Southern Bell/Bellsouth days when we the company provided and managers or techs grilled out for various reasons, was like family.

“ On a side note, there should be a BMI test given beforehand. The OP is probably over 50% (just guessing by the way he is carrying on about food). Shouldn't be served. Major cardiac event imminent, no doubt.”

LOL! Are you insinuating the OP is a gluttonous gourmand of sorts? What of the other “menu” posters?

“ Congrats. You're all enjoying your lunch. Quite an accomplishment.”

Yawn, time for a nap. It’s five o’clock somewhere!

“I have plenty of personal reserves.

Last time I checked, drawing down reserves was still losing money.“

Grasshopper, the smart money put it into CD’s and has interest to use, house money my friend. 😜

“ The party will be over soon enough and we’ll drag you through the wringer with forced OT (and weekend scheduling) shortly to catch the load up. I personally cannot wait!!!”

We can’t wait either, OT has been constrained for a while. Go ahead and force, we know what we are doing and double time will be awesome meanwhile, enjoying some downtime and 🏖️ 🍻 🥩.

“ Then you were the grasshopper and not like the ant who stores up for winter. Nice try troll but most have prepared for this, the company has created a pattern so, who wouldn’t put a little back? At AT&T, one never knows when a layoff is going to happen so, it’s prudent for all to have an emergency fund. It’s been happening monthly for a long time now.”

Fried chicken and malt liq-or here.

Trying to get the ingredients together for a low country boil next week, ohh whee! That’s some lip smacking food!

“ I’ve been on strike. It’s all fun and games until the checks stop coming.”

I’ve been on strike. It’s all fun and games until the checks stop coming.

We had the all the ingredients and different breads to make sub sandwiches 🥖 at our location plus the usual refreshments. Where is the grilling going on? We want in because we are at a downtown location so, we can’t grill.

Oh, we are getting paid upon return. 3 paydays month and plenty of OT upon return. Not a shock to have company ULP issues this time since, same thin happened the last contract. Union needs to sue for back pay when contract is settled. Wagner Act 1935. Look it up.

Sounds great!! Everything except a paycheck.

“ Hard tack & potted meat.”

We don’t want the CP menu posted on this thread.
