Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

AT&T has changed dramatically

This company has changed dramatically. There is no concern for the employee. I do understand that really is not their job, but people get jerked around. I have seen people take a new job, and then that job declared surplus within a week! I have seen people move out of state for an open position. sell their house and uproot their family only to be declared surplus within a couple months. I have seen people outside of the company quit a good job to go to work for AT&T as a temp, being told that they will likely become permanent, only to be let go after 6 months. The field techs have no life. They have cut too many of them. They never know when they are going home at night. They are forced on a daily basis to pick up more jobs. They are forced to work on their scheduled days off. There is simply no regard for the employee. Under Randall, the legacy part of this company has gone to hell. The customers are treated no better. No regard for our business or residential POTS and DSL customers. I have seen businesses left unable to function with 8 or 9 lines down for a week or more. Dispatches 7-10 days out or more are common. AT&T wants to be an entertainment company. Good luck with that Randy.

You can thank the GREAT CWA ( CAN'T WIN ARGUMENT ) for the way you get treated by the company! AT&T is like any other business. They out to make as much money as possible with as less overhead as possible . It's the cwa that keeps selling out your jobs every 3 years with there crapy contracts ! It's sad when the cwa thinks a employee who has a job should have presidenc over a open position than a employee who is involved with a surplus and is losing there job ! It's called article 10 in the contract ! Look it up that's right the cwa screwed the members with that article ! But hey that's what you get when you send 20 year old service tech's to the bargaining table to go up against the company lawyers !!!!!

I left after the 2016 Surplus,I was asked to train my replacement, & gave the company 2 weeks, and was hired the day I left the company, and I have accomplished more in a short year than 21years with AT&T, I can say with confidence ,it is not the employee the problem it is the culture and bad management.

I was in corporate engineering and it was the same. We were expected to work 7 days a week and answer e-mails 24 hours a day. The pay was super low and the stress and responsibilities were super high. We almost never got to use our PTO.

Every day, I'm so happy I'm gone.

Stop posting this crap. If being a field tech is so tough find another job.
