Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

No future in ATO except for Indian contractors

ATO management is all about outsourcing to a handful of Indian offshoring firms. Indian employees have their own employee resource groups to encourage promoting within. Indian upper management chooses to promote their own country-men and replaces Americans with even more offshored staff.

American employees in ATO have only layoffs and increased low morale to look forward to. The contractor/employee ratio in many organizations is already around 90/10.

Lol at the casual racism in this post, but yeah, these guys pretty much take care if their own and think American workers are dumb and lazy because they expect a decent salary and won't work 80 hours a week.

2lft - when one of my family members passed away last year, my manager from India never said a word, not I'm sorry-nothing. They have zero social skills towards American workers. It's really a sad situation.

I work with these groups and the sponsored workers a good bit. I don’t fault them for wanting to better their lives and all that. However, what you say is the truth. They are only promoting and advancing their own. I see Indian directors and associate directors with no staff, while others are told they need min of 10. I hear from folks at other companies experiencing the same thing. There is definitely discrimination going on.

The off shore contractors are just doing what we would do in their place, trying to make better lives for themselves and their families.

It is Randy and his gang who are responsible for the off shoring, cuts to benefits, lay offs and poor working conditions. Be clear, if the company was paying to $1 an hour to work, Randy would be looking to replace you with someone who they could pay 50 cents an hour.

And let us not forget how Randy's bad management decisions are driving a once good company in to the ditch for the sake of short term profits.

The corporate logo represents the customers not the workers. If it did represent the workers ATT would select the most talented and trustworthy people from every country Germany, Poland, Ireland, England, Mexico, Canada, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Africa, ... and have world class tech division. Anyone with one functional eye and a few brain cells can see that not what ATT is about. It is about lowest cost, lowest acceptable quality. The supervisors are there to ensure proper behavior and must guard against fraud, theft of intellectual property, theft of customer data and the like.

They must also deal with curtailing undesirable office behaviors that have unfortunately become prevalent. Caste cliques, Sabotaging coworkers, lack of teamwork, and the like.

While ATT may be cheap and greedy, they are not foolish. They know they need true ATTers to do the supervision, management and direction setting and engineering specs.
