I hate this company and everything about it. I hate being stuck here due to a cr-ppy job market. The only thing I like is that there are always layoffs so there's always a chance that I'll be able to walk away with severance. That's it. That's the only positive about working at T.

Don’t blame the job market, you are just not good enough
You're probably the same troll posting this on all the threads. Can you project any harder? Just because you weren't good enough to leave AT&T doesn't mean everyone else isn't.

24 year employee here... I've seen the good, bad and ugly. Where we are know is the worst its ever been! Leadership does a bunch of talking and not enough walking.
Sick of the BS excuses and lack of transparency. Especially when we can all see through it. The RTO and 5 days in office mandate is a BS exercise to get rid of employees without having to surplus and pay severance to as many. We are losing excellent talent with tons of experience in important roles. Which of course leaves the rest of us to try to pick up the pieces and work in a poor culture where employees are simply thought of as a chess piece. ATT leadership does not care one bit about their employees.

I’m gonna quit as soon as Stankey gets canned. I wanna be around for that.
Unfortunately, I hate my job and I hate my life. I keep trying to hang on every day, but it's getting to be impossible.
And yet you stay.
If you are listening to any thought leader who is in anyway associated with HR then you’re too far gone.

was there 15 years and still come to read however I miss some fo the coworkers but the "JOB" nahh The overall management certainly and will continue to deserve worst CEO in America.
Keep looking OP there are other "Options" and if need be pivot to something else.
Their RTO is just a layoff without the layoff.
It was a great place to work, everyone loved being here and doing their jobs, but that all changed once SBC took over AT&T!
Oh please. Your AT&T leadership nosedived your company into the ground allowing its purchase and survival. The biggest mistake was keeping any AT&T leadership and adopting any AT&T policies.
We often womdered who bought who.
“You all sound like the biggest bunch of freaking crybabies. I mean, I can’t believe you’re grown men. The fact that all of you stayed around this long, this miserable says everything about you don’t blame this company or the world for the fact that you never had the gumption to actually go out there and stake your claim in the world. My Lord, y’all are pathetic.”
Used word “gumption” confirmed boomer.

I hate being stuck here due to a cr-ppy job market.
If you're management, you were given an invitation on a silver platter more than 18 months ago to find a different job. The job market has not been cr-ppy that entire time. If you hate your job, be honest and blame it on your own lack of motivation, or fear of change, or lack of marketable skills to change your lot in life.
I started at SBC 20+ years ago. Even under Randall, I didn't mind working here. It's been since Stankey took over that's it's gotten so bad.
SBC brought its culture here via J. Stankey and J. McElfresh and really turned this company on its head! It was a great place to work, everyone loved being here and doing their jobs, but that all changed once SBC took over AT&T! Now, it's a culture of employees hanging by a thread not knowing if they'll have a job from one day to the next!
Sure, T had its fair share of layoffs back in the day, but at least they were more compassionate about it!
Agree with all the above. Give me severance and I’m gladly gone.
I will always care about the integrity of my work. I am dealing with a clueless leadership & watching good, hard working people shown the door because of RTO only to then to find out the work has been off shored. The motivation to do better simply doesn't exist anymore because there is no reason to.
Went from awesome job and place to work to really bad in about 10 years. The last few years especially the last 2 have been the worst. The few coworkers left are great. Only thing that makes me want to do better or work harder are them so that I don’t let them down. Everyone else, they could care less, boss could care less (only interested in his next career step).
I’ll miss the people the most. My colleagues are the best.
It’s a shame what leaders have done to this business over the last few years.
Going on twenty years and like the other person said, the last five have been the worst ever. Demoralizing, demotivating, condescending, aimless, haphazard decisions and strategy, incompetence and wasteful spending.
This company has no clue. For example, are they aware that every project and feature that we pay for, the offshore “employees” in India turn around and re-use that code to bill another company for? They are literally taking our deliverables, setting them aside, and doing side hustle consulting. As for the big vendors? Fogett-a-bou-it. Laughing all the way to the bank.
It wasn't always like that but yea. My last 5 years (out of 20) was simply awful.
Leadership su-ks ba--s.
A result of the worst leadership team in corporate America.
