It's business, not personal

I have been with the company for almost 18 years. Believe it or not there are also managers who are being held accountable for their teams not selling or performing Demos. If you are not doing what has been asked of you; we have to move forward. Not demoing or not selling Entertainment services brings negative attention therefore requiring management to complete more observations. As far as getting rid of people who are "seasoned employees" because of money is just not true. What I have seen in my career is most of those RSCs simply stop doing their job/haven't adapted to the change within the company. As managers we can't give our ARSM or DOS the excuses that are used on a daily basis. We are sales people working for an Entertainment company---you complete demos with everyone until you close a sale then start all over again each and every day. It is business and not personal.

That work is being outsourced to India and eastern Europe, outsourced to companies that hire people usually fresh from school who are paid a pittance.

Internally the company barely functions and almost feels like it is grinding to a halt waiting for the TW deal to close.

Marketing is going full bore, HR is processing churn at a tremendous level and customers are bailing out.

Randy gets $28,000,000 per year and Stankey gets $13,000,000.

I would love to hear why talented software and network architecture engineers are being laid off - regardless of age - and being replaced by people who can only do data entry.

Thanks, I am a developer and finally doing what my new company it is paying me to do, at AT&T you had to please everyone but yourself, the constant kissing a--, and management in the wrong role killed many good projects

important to do your job correctly, with enthusiasm and do what is asked of you. for sure. the problem is that there are many people who worked hard and were laid off, demoted etc just because of their age or that they didn't play superficial games correctly. if the company didn't provide a severance check that required you to sign away your legal rights, there would be age discrimination lawsuits all over the place. good thing for those laid off is that you get to utilize your talents and skills out there with new companies that appreciate you.

Assuming you are referring to retail stores, there are many other parts of the company. I suspect retail sales is actually a very small part.

If you ran a business would you lie, treat people like crap,threaten,manipulate micromanage, consistently changing the numbers your accountable to? It's just a business right ? I won't even go into all the unethical things the T does to customers!!

he/she does have a point. you are either performing and making money.. for yourself and the company.. or you aren't... and if you're a mid to bottom performer.. you are taking up valuable real estate for someone who can do the job better. nothing personal.. again.. just business. if the business was yours?.. would you employe people who can't get the job done?.. or who refuse to?.. of course not..you'd send them on their way and hire someone else.

Pass me the kool aid please....lol

LMAO
