They only way they are going to get customers back is by being more competitive with pricing. At&t has been and will always be a reactive company.
Lets be honest here, back room deals with verizon to make sure that doesn't happen is the real reason.
I’m sure the main topic of your call was how many entertainment do you have out & are you coaching/documenting each rep at length. Having Saturday morning training classes for those not on target for the month. Watching overtime because you are not selling enough entertainment to keep your boss & the bosses boss off the radar. BLAH BLAH BLAH. What happened with 2020 and closing 80% of the sorry stores because they can’t sell enough entertainment. Oh wait that was before T-Mobile starting bleeding our wireless customers like crazy. But wait aren’t we supposed to be selling entertainment?
Or was it let’s get back to scandals and crisis control?
Just got off a call and none of this was mentioned.
SSRs really aren’t needed anymore. They only existed because lazy managers couldn’t do the job. What they need to do is fire all the managers and let the SSRs do it all and get paid like managers!
IHX may have a hiring freeze but its because they aren’t selling enough to justify their sorry union busting jobs
I would like to know 1 RSC OR ASM jealous of my position on the days I’ve been on the door for 7 hours STRAIGHT with out a piss break-or the fact that I make 37K vs even the sorriest RSC who makes more. If they want it then take it & the huge pay cut that comes with it. We are the least paid Union Represented group & in all my years experience each & every rep has had an opportunity to “step down” to SSR at one time somewhere local but has declined BECAUSE of the pay cut. JEALOUS OF SSRs!!!!
NOW THAT IS A FAKE POST
Retail & IHX hiring freeze. That’s is hysterical. In Texas there currently 40 Full/Part-time including bilingual RSC postings in ALL of Texas. They are opening 4 or 5 new IHX units in North Texas, but they also want to bring headcount down from the 20+ at the existing units then disburse among the new units. That’s a hand full of Support people & honestly a IHX Manager would not want an SSR without sales experience. But heah they did take a few PREM TECHS.
But even with all that we are talking 120 positions.
I guess you will know if your mailbox gets blown up with new part-time RSCs for every COR store in all the lands.
I tend to believe it’s fake news;
Generally it’s rscs or asms that are jealous of the position that make these type of threads.
This is all annonymous BS
is it full layoff or head count lowered?
Regardless new contract promises them a new job in mobility
They are doing a hiring freeze in retail and ihx starting next week to allow SSRs a chance to apply for positions
Ssr are Union, but last time it was in June we found out.
AT&T has all this weird “Universe” selection round 1, then Universe selection round 2, then OUTSIDE Universe round 1 & 2. Takes awhile. This has got to be something from telephone operators from 1940. 1 step forward 80 years back.
Most confused and convoluted company ever. Aging dinosaurs who should just die gracefully or up and coming MASTERS of ALL THING ENTERTAINMENT! Even p--n- well you guys decide.
Hey come back “heard it here first”. What is it we are going to hear exactly? The moon is made of cheese? The sky is falling? Or are we finally losing our jobs? Fun thing - we just did a “take over reset”, I’ve been wondering take over from what? Or who? SSRs?
And by the way in 2013 they gave OSRs 6 months to find another job- June until end of year.
That doesn't follow the pattern of the ~2 weeks of ranking before the 60 day notice at the beginning of a quarter (where you are let go at the end of a quarter). Doesn't mean you are wrong though, and I hope you are for the SSRs sake. Also Verizon gave 30 days notice to their "SSRs" and we tend to copy each other.
