Too bad they don't cut Randy's every day of the year rate of $78,000.
My friend in EG who is a contractor got laid off due to what AT&T is saying high rates. AT&T wants to pay 50% less.
"The EG/Digital management layoff meeting took place last week. 200-300 are in the affected group."
Any idea out of how many?
One of my team members was cut. Someone will have to do another persons job with a skeleton crew as it is.
On the comment about AT if you took advantage of it, even if you're still caught up in a surplus, you're MUCH more marketable externally and will land on your feet.
The social contract between employers and employees is being rewritten. We each need to be laser focused on the value we create as an individuals and be vigilant about investing in the skills needed to deliver it.
so far, 3 from my group was let go. And we still have the reorg to go thru for eom. Also, i was told that I need to get ready to start on commuting to collaboration zone. Im thankful but at&t use to be a family company now it is all about the bottom line and make the bean counters happy.
you need to be in a location with at least 150 techdev people to avoid layoff. if your location has less than that, your job will be cut either now or very soon.

You are confused if you think Randy has a strategy beyond his next bonus. The long term success of this company is something that only the people who do the actual work care about.
Wouldn’t these be the internal people who would make our products work as we vertically integrate into content delivery via dtv now and move our customers to sdn, or am I missing the function?
Information Technology positions such as Application Developers.
Just to understand the impact, what does tech dev do?
Is it confirmed that meeting notices for 10/16 AM already went out to those being surplused?
The question was wether you want to volunteer to early separation. Meeting is set around 10 am depending on location
What type of questions where on this survey? -Thanks.
What time 10/16 meeting?
Were you folks part of the call from 9/25 or is this a new batch? I understand if you were on the 9/25 call and received a survey, you would have received a meeting invite by now for a Monday AM (9/16) meeting if you are going to be surplused.
Yep, gonna be a long anxious weekend.
