Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Heads in the sand... As the World turns...

I know it's more fun to blame Randy and "evil corporate greed," but as the World turns... the new technology is coming for your job.

CORE gets 24 more months --- TOPS --- before StarLink takes your wage scale 32 a d turns it into $15 an hour as a Wal-Mart greeter! LMAO 🤣 😂

"I won't tell you how many months I actually "worked" since quiting (single digits) or how close to a million dollars (3/4's of the way there😮 and rising!) my residence is worth currently.. believe what you like."

On today's episode of "Prem Tech Millionaire" We will explore how one Prem tech who lasted just a few years before getting chit canned had the insight to quit before he got fired. Furthermore we will have an exclusive inside look into his forward and earth shattering thoughts on the future of telecommunications.

Join us as he learns about latency, satellites, and here lately, 5G. Listen in as how he speaks of the lower frequencies being able to travel vast distances. Gain! Allow him to share his vast knowledge of such things as port forwarding.

This is a must not miss episode. Tune in or miss out!

Ex premtech, please, with all the gloom and doom that is on the website, with talented and skilled people getting surplussed, only to leave the rest of us to pick up the work, never leave us. We need the comedic relief that only someone of your caliber can provide.

S---s to be in your crew then. I’m also in the SE , had the same manager for 25 years. Not once were we told we couldn’t grab something thru the drive thru. Now if you’re in a bucket truck , that makes sense lol. Not surprised though. Every crew seems to have its own ideas about the rules.

Yes... Miserable... If it makes you feel better.

I won't tell you how many months I actually "worked" since quiting (single digits) or how close to a million dollars (3/4's of the way there😮 and rising!) my residence is worth currently.. believe what you like.

Actually, that's the core of the problem you guys have: you believe whatever your CWA "brothers" tell you.. and whatever other crazy sh¡T y'all convince yourselves of..

Yes! Yes! Believe anything and ignore all the facts flying in front of your face for years now.

Isn't that how y'all got here? Believing..? In the "Hope and Change" y'all got sold on... I forgot Obama went to advise the CWA😂😂😂

Nothing like facts to get in your way... Oh,... and kill the messengers too! We not like what he tell us!!

Off with his head!!

I'm still laughing 😂😆 at you ostriches.. No matter what you call me or convince yourselves of.😂😘

Don’t you see guys. He’s just another “I didn’t get fired, I quit” guy who got fired 😂

He is obviously miserable with his existence and his current job (if he even found one) and so coming to this board and attacking his former co-workers gives him a small if not temporary sense of satisfaction. He’s here trying to validate his own poor decisions in life; making himself feel better and convince himself that his bad decisions were actually good ones. He hopes you all get laid off so he can convince himself that it was inevitable that he’d lose his job anyway. No happy and successful person would otherwise come to this board to take joy in folks getting laid off. He’s really quite sad and pathetic. Take pity on him. His life must be truly miserable and empty. Clearly he misses his job at at&t and would probably kill to get it back. If he really did quit , then it’s obvious he regrets that decision.

Bitter? Quite the contrary... I haven't laughed this hard in years. I haven't blamed a single soul here for anything in my life. I left years ago when I realized that boot that's kicking you all in the arse now was headed my way. It doesn't take a genius to see what was coming. And it surely didn't take a college degree or WS32 to see what the CORE run CWA was up to during 2015/16 bargaining cycle. I still have acquaintances with CORE and WT techs now. This ain't personal in any way.

It's just hilariously mind blowing to watch this carnage and the responses from the techs. Everyone is in denial. It's too much😂😂.

In basic terms:

DTV Now took the Wire Tech's job;

5G and Satellite based competitors will DECIMATE CORE in the next 24-36 months.

I know a CORE tech who's old lady told my old lady: "Yeah, we're thinking about going to a more rural area for a better quality of life.." Sure you are... It's not that your CORE tech husband thinks he'll preserve his wireline job by going to the sticks...😂😂😂😂.

Yeah... AT&T may not be setting up 5G in the sticks "right away," but TMobile dropped a pretty nickel on 600mhz spectrum to take care of that. The lower the frequency, the farther it travels.

Can't escape progress folks!

Wake up😂😂😂🍻🥂😂😂😂🍻🥂

Wow sounds like another bitter prem tech/wire tech.....funny I’m on the core side with 20plus years and due to my skilks from college and military & other tech backgrounds I earned what I get paid 44.00 in Ca with shift diff. I didn’t just get out of high school with zero job experience thinking I should be making the same pay as veteran core techs! like some the prem techs think. You sound very bitter and by the way I get along with 99% of all the prem techs I work with!....I don’t see what your attitude problem is....I don’t think I’m superior to them or talk down to them. Please move on with your life and shop blaming everyone for your personal issues!

@1stb... For a $38 an hour genius Systems Tech... you sure know how to miss the point!

Port Forwarding is basic Networking 101.. DUH

That's the point. A $38 an hour Services or Facilities Tech always calling a $25 an hour Wire Tech asking questions about the RG.

$38 an hour and all most of them knew how to do was plug the AT&T issued green RJ-11 into the green port on the RG.

WTF!?

Sad... but oh so funny to see reality catch up with y'all!!

Classic example of a guy who clearly thinks he’s the smartest person in the room because he may have some experience with data networking but deep down he’s jealous and envious of those WS 32 salaries as he looks thru the want ads from Mom’s basement. The fact he’s trying to impress us by using “port forwarding” as an example just shows he’s not as smart as he wants everyone to believe. If he were as talented as he claims , why was he a wire tech and not a systems tech or a field engineer or any of the other countless jobs At&t offers for those skill sets. Got news for you Pal, us systems techs have been configuring data networks, routers and switches for 30 plus years and we are WS32. You’re not smart. Just bitter.

Not disgruntled at all. It's like watching NASCAR.. you tune in for the wrecks!!😂

It's funny to hear the whining and crying... And my favorite is the guys at AT&T who think they're so special in their skill set that in addition to being grossly overpaid at $38 an hour, they truly believe AT&T won't survive without them! WOW!!

The deluded measure of self-worth of the average union employee is beyond belief, if not outright sad.

10 years ago I would have said that it was your incessant whining about more money got you here. But it's not even that anymore. You clowns refuse to stare reality in the face: the new technology ate your job.

Nothing else.

Man... y'all so full of yourselves 😂

And d#mb as a box of rocks. Average tech can plug a jumper in, but can't configure port forwarding on an RG... "What's that?... Where's my $38 an hour?"

😂😂😂😂

I am a wire tech and in no way would I ever find joy is seeing a core tech lose their job. Why are you so sour? You left and are so much better off then we who stayed are? You sound like a disgruntled divorcee who wants to keep track of their ex. That strange scary stalker type. Couseling is available and just may help you get over it.

"Attack the messenger, we must...

Nope, expose the messenger. now go pack your bowl. I made a mistake about you working the drive thru, you might actually handle cash in that job.

Now, go make sure your customer's hash browns are scattered, not smothered .

Some part of me hopes this guy is a very clever troll sent to us for our entertainment.

"Attack the messenger, we must...

Address the subject matter?, we'll ignore it..."

Always at the ready to insult people, accuse corporations of fraud, malfeasance, ... but no one will acknowledge what exactly is taking their job.

It's hard to admit that you're obsolete. I get it. But the time to make the hard decisions is upon you.

No more kicking the can down the road. Sink or swim. Sh$t or get off the pot. They gonna kick you off any way...😂

Yeah... Former WT, I did quit... And I warned all my brothers what was coming, how CWA was scheming, and how a $25 an hour WT could land on his feet easier than a $38 an hour CORE tech would.

CWA carried on with their "standard" bargaining demands. No eye to the future or the perils that lay at the doorstep.

I don't participate in s---c-de missions for corporations or unions. Family & Country only.

I posted on forums since 2016.

And here we are. I'm enjoying the carnage. If you're really a "technology worker," you should've seen this coming.

Oh well... Thank TRUMP for your 3.8% unemployment rate. That much easier to get a job.

I'm making another drink and packing another bowl.

Cheers🍻🥂

The way this guy has a hard on for "core" getting their comeuppance tells me he was a prem/wire tech.

Earlier post that I'm sure can be attributed to him indicate that he was cut loose from the company some time ago, although his narrative states that he saw "The writing on the wall" (my inference, not his), and left of his own noble and learned volition.

Dude, move along, or go work for one of those companies that is going to upend the entire telecom landscape, just be sure to ask your shift manager if you can have the time off to knock that interview out of the park, we can't have cars backing up in the drive thru.
