work is tight and the number of resources is still large. you know who you are. there was word that certain ATO leaders didn't want to surplus in 4Q, but our numbers aren't making sense to the bean counters

Surplused in 2016 within 21 months of "full retirement"
age 63 + 18 years service
6 months severance
six months unemployment comp
6 months co-paid COBRA then
12 months reg COBRA then
2 months ACA then
@age 65 Medicare + Social Security + ATT Pension
Never looked back
The "full retirement" carrot isn't worth much to one eligible for Medicare

if you have a login to any type of server it means you are lay off bait and off-shoreable. if all you know is excel and pass around to other managers then you might be able to stay as part of "the network."
Haha, people over 50 updating skills? You are a riot, I love it! Post ID: @UVTEmE9-4iqo
You have no idea how the network works. You think you enter some code and the connections to customers magically happen. Wow, it must be nice to live in that bubble.
Hey Rhandi, I see another "coder" that can be outsourced. Go get those synergies!
They gave them badges .........smh
Yes, they are updating the following: AI, Robotics, Ruby, Python, & process automation out of their job , lol

People over 50 may have updated skills if they plan to keep their skills updated and go to school & tech user groups & certification tracks. If people aren't into it then they will fall behind So sorry. I've done every decade of my own working life and never felt obsolete and never fired It's no guarantee against inept leadership s--- as is rife at AT&T but it it makes one more makertabke. People build their own career coffins
@UVTEmE9-1qld Wrong you are. That description doesn't exclude people over 50. It excludes anyone over 35.
Do you think is bad now? AT&T is including phrases like “new or recent graduates with multi code language degrees”, and seek ing applicants who are “digital natives in emerging technologies,” a category that excludes anyone over 50. How close are you?
India have all the emplyees the company needs. Keep dreaming,about T's change of heart , no one can compete with those salaries, Ecom9mics 101 for a cash strapped conglomerate
Unlikely this often, use your brain instead of spill the rumors
Remember most Lvl 2 mgrs in ATO have no direct reports and are in technical positions. They have been getting cuts for yrs.
The company needs to incorporate product knowledge with the 2020 training so we can all help sell and make the numbers we need!
who cares about Lv 2 and above, get the backstabbers out asap
It rotates to shore up consolidation and span of control
4Q18 is Level 3 and 4
1Q19 is Level 1 and 2
A lot of director-level meetings going on right now, every time that happens, layoffs follow. I think this is accurate.
i've heard some banter with the new ato prez -there could be integration of business and consumer areas. which would make sense, there is a duplication of each position and budgets are limited at best with the heavy debt burden. i'm not sure how the "business" side is surviving at all...they must be planning a surplus as well
Need to clear some desks and get some extra laptops for the H1B experts for 2019, that will work for less.
Its actually not less, most of the H1B staffing companies are someones brother or uncle in the C suite working as a middle man. Think about that
That is not rumor,INDIANS are celebrating non stop since 2012,
File under: Unfounded rumor and innuendo. And @UVTEmE9-tyc ---I am quite sure you don't work in ATO because you don't know of what you speak. There is a great deal of work. I would provide more detail, but I am sure it would just be a bunch of acronyms and technology terms that you don't understand.
They can easily get rid of half of ATO in Q4. No one is busy.
probably more like the first quarter next year
