I wish things will be over today. But, the agony will be prolonged – pain, anxiety and anger will linger across AT&T. I am part of a ~40 people team and people are exhausted and they want to be and feel safe and have some sense of order in their professional environment. With layoffs lingering, this will be impossible. It’s not cool and I think the executives are not approaching this the way layoffs should be handled – swift, quick and resolute. Rip off the band aid and move on.
We all know layoffs need to happen from time to time but nothing justifies a prolonged approach to executing them. Honestly, this is a major executive management blunder.
