Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Volunteers for Layoff Needed, Involuntary Separation to Follow

I can confirm that calls are happening all over the company in Donovan's organizations today.

First they will be asking for volunteers and then it will move to involuntary.

Each group will be reorganized to achieve the proper spans of control and headcount goals.

This is the big one.

There will be sad days ahead for many, relief for some, and anxiety for all.

Yes every department under Donavan’s org is being effected.

The funny thing in my department all employees are impacted except for the associate director.

How does that work?

I was in sh--ting on retail. It was more a commentary that it seems every post a retail person comes in and relates it to retail. L2s exist outside of retail.

Retail employees losing their jobs aren't any less important than other groups. The sh--iest part of people emerges in these situations, for Christ's sake have compassion...you're fellow coworkers aren't your enemy..it's insatiable corporate greed that is... ATO is affected: TSMs, BAs, Engineers, PMs, Associate Directors, Solutions Architects, have all been hit. The goal is a 30% redux across the enterprise.

You know there is more to AT&T than retail right?

What do you mean by L2s ranked their team? RSMs aren't being impacted so why would level 2s be ranking them?

Yes. The question is how far in advance. I know of some L2s that were directed to rank their teams last week.

Would the L5s have known if their teams are impacted by this time?

Managers who are spineless will always have a job at AT&T. That is AT&T’s culture unfortunately.

If you can, take the severance package. AT&T is not the place you want to be if you care about your high tech career. I am learning this the hard way.

Yes it is happening. Will know who got effected on Friday. Good luck everyone. AT&T is becoming a ghost town.
