Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Relo is just another layoff strategy

I mean, who would accept to relocate for a company which is badly managed, chaotic, and where leadership does nothing to generate revenue but excels at cuts just so stock value isn’t shot down? You relocate, pay for it, move your whole family, sc--w everyone up, and then you get booted six months later anyway.

“It is illegal to lay off based on age. However, it is perfectly legal to force people to move or leave, which, as it turns out, has the exact same effect. Legalized age discrimination. You have to hand it to the sc-mbags. They did their homework.”

No. They got a D- on their homework and they will be sued.
They relocated people that accepted the move and THEN took the job away when the employee called their bluff.
They also lied in their surplus letter for the people that decided not to move. (the verbiage said the job was terminated, which was false). Why do this? To cover their tracks so as not to correlate the 1 to 1 discriminatory nature of the replacement posted in Workday.

It will catch up to them.

Relo mandates are an important step to shed employees who have been on their own program and in a different station of life for decades.

The Company is paying people MORE to work in Dallas as an N3 than most other places. I've seen many (I'm sure not all) jobs get backfilled in Dallas or Atlanta, just look at Workday. There is absolutely a loss in skills/knowledge in this process, favoring location over value.

“If Stankey went to jail I’d rent out an entire hotel on the water and throw a party for everyone on here who talked sh-t and had to deal with his bullsh-t.”

If there was true justice, the complicit BoD & C suite accomplices would join him on the perp walk & to “club fed”.

“What do you expect from Stankey? The worst CEO and leader of the wall of shame. He should be prosecuted with Stephenson for his action of corporate negligence. Like CEO of Enron he should go to jail. I hope one day he will.”

All the talented people with prospects are leaving, all the folks with no marketable skills are already in hubs or are following the work. This is institutionalized brain drain.

When they delevel all the L3 Individual Contributors who stay, there will be literally no career path for new hire tech talent, they start from day one near the last progression for level 2.

I'm also seeing conservations from the hub TDPs that get wined and dined to come work for AT&T, they are quiet quitting en masse looking for other jobs. These gen Zers are smart and don't put up with cr-p.

Doesn't matter, every knowledge job in this company is going offshore.

Profits, not people. We have enough people. Layoffs and surpluses are innovation. Up is down, left is right, water is dry. Try and keep up.
