AT&T end of August RIFs?

So in Business Sales the Global Group-(formerly Signature) was told a couple of weeks ago that a RIF was forthcoming and that they would receive a letter by 8/31/17. Last week the USM's were given notice and many that were mobility centric were given their walking papers -out the door in 21 days and take your severance, or stay on for 2 months -look for a job and take 50% of your severance-with the 2 months you stayed on counting towards the 50%. Have heard that AT&T wants the RIF employees off the books by the first week of November, so one would expect that with the 60 day notice required by the WARN act that more notices should go out in the next couple of weeks. Previous RIF notices were given in September and employees had 90 days to find a job and were gone by December 31st, Also heard that today the maximum severance you can get is 6 months-based on tenure, and that in 2018 AT&T is looking to drop the maximum severance to 3 months. I'm seeing the subtle signs of the reorganization in my group taking shape, but would rather not comment on those particulars. Good Luck All

Some of the provisioning team in northern Virginia got one too.

So funny, now the severance is 50% if you stay the 60 days? If this is true affected employees are so screwed after working a lifetime. And don't forget to sign the release waiver f you want that Money
