Which group from DTV @ El Segundo got 2 of 13 surplused?

Just found out about our group in the DTV corporate office in El Segudno. Out of 13, two got "surplussed" (I hate that term). It's a hard day, and it really sucks. It's almost easier if half our team was gassed rather than just two. It just seems arbitrary.

Well, now DTV is officially AT&T.

If you have a scheduled call yes you are being retained and random call you are surplus.

That's how it's working here. Looks like they are only retaining about 34% of the RAE/NDAE in the west.

It sounds like if you have a scheduled call today you are going to be retained. If you are getting a random call from your DOS you are being surplussed. Can anyone else confirm?

With AT&T owning around 2200 retail stores I can see how 20000 - 40000 folks could be losing their jobs. What a shame. Best if luck to everyone.

So the calls today are being told they are surplussed or what their new role is?

The person I know was notified by a director located in his location. I think it will vary depending on your group/location.

I have a couple of questions, and hopefully can get some info from here (since upper management seems to be mute).

How are the calls scheduled? Do you get verbal notification, a call, or an email? Also, if someone doesn't have a call scheduled does that mean they got spared? Last, is this the process for all parts of the organization? Are notifications handled identically in call centers, retail locations, and corporate offices in Denver, LA, and Dallas?

Good luck to everyone, whatever the news.

Meaning running fire drills for the ARSM and taking on tasks they can't otherwise get to. They may delegate issues or they may delegate a fire drill having you go into an NR account for a table day. If they need info on a store, you will be sent to go see the store and report what's going on with it. On demand delivery basically

Main job will be merchandising, selling and supporting in National Retail.
