On this forum, there's a lot of complaining about management and their style of managing people. Looking back at C&E, we have a lot of personnel from the military where they bring forth excellent technical skills but poor interpersonal skills causing a horrible work environment. Ruling by an iron fist doesn't work in the "New" T culture.
T is striving to become the new google or amazon but it's falling short by having weirdos running this place as if we're in the military.
I have to disagree with poster saying military vets don’t have interpersonal skills to deal with customers....that’s simply not true! I’m a veteran myself work with many other veterans in the field dealing with customers every day... I think we’re very professional and have no problems dealing with customers on their level. So next time you open your mouth maybe go troll some other site Please.....
so the crazy military weirdos must be the same people on these threads calling people crybabies and advocating not repairing cut cables.Where do they find these people?
I'm not sure why so many people on this site think that 1st levels decide how things are run. When I was at AT&T we had to do things a certain way for audits. I was an engineer and there is a "set" way for things to be done. I was one of the ones that didn't always do them this way, but was more concerned with getting it done and the customer getting their service. Everything is "top down" in this company.
The 2nd levels are concerned about work being performed to do good on audits or they get called out by their 3rd level....and so on. I told my 2nd level to lay me off if our group was going to be effected. I was just done with the way things were so I retired. But for so many on this site to think that 1st levels decide how to run the place is ridiculous.
shut up and get back to work...damn cry babies...
... time for your Capri Sun and Snack?
Have another Cupcake... ... Don’t hug the trees to hard
An entrenched culture is hard to change.
BTW this people don’t want to let the younger folks progress and take leadership positions. They simply don’t want to let go power and control... for fear of incompetence!!!
Maybe it's not the military thing alone. I think it is more of a age-generational thing that don’t let the culture change from a slow bureaucratic white elephant to a more agile and productive mindset. Simply put there are managers and supervisors 25+ tenure that don’t know any other way of thinking... stuck in the 80’s 90’s “this is for 30 years”. Lol
