Managers are the new targets for headcount reductions ranging anywhere from 5 percent all the way to 20 percent in some areas of the company (I bet DSL and wireline will be hardest hit tomorrow). When asked about layoffs our director. Said “Regarding headcount, at this time, we have no specific plans for workforce changes related to this new organizational structure.” The typical robot BS, we all hear, Of course, it's only a matter of time

Couple of AVPs are already cut in Dallas...
some have been asked to keep quiet about it.
I for 1 would very much like to see some of the level 2 & 3 managers get their own package to meet the 3rd revenue for their division/department. SO many in management $$$$ --- time for upper management to tighten their own belt and leave.
AT&T 3rd Qtr... makes it numbers by cutting personnel. I think they can cut some AVP to start

Hi, I am one of the managers that was on this last layoff. It was not a fair selection. I was overworked with a lot of Programs. Some the people that did not get selected have very little work to do.(?) I am Satisfied with the Severance Package and that's the only thing!
Management loves to threaten people's Livelihood every day. They don't understand that we have families to support and cause massive amounts of fraud. I've been told on many occasions that i will not have a job if i didn't sell a digital life even though the next closest sales person had $10,000 less gross profit but 1 digital life. That digital life turned out to be fraud and digital life is a non topic now. I hope when these scumbags get canned their former employees are allowed to throw tomatoes at them as they are escorted out of the building.
Welcome to our world ATT management, here you get treated like trash
Bahahahaha ... Hey 1hfw, if you have to ask such a question then there is no way you will ever understand the answer.
