Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

About a 30% hit for us

21 switch techs from legacy T in NJ just got notice 2 hr ago...

about a 30% hit for us, good people and really smart people being laid off, including my man who got a top 1% award.

Union life, where the most of the senior people do sh-- and top techs get laid off because they were hired 3 months after the pieces of c-ap were

everyone knew layoffs, doesnt make me any less salty that losing some incredible trouble shooters and friends from the past 20 years

f--- you at&t and f--- you twice to the union. good job protecting your people as long as you keep digging deeper for those dues its all good. wonder how many people they have to lose before the union does something cause it is hitting their pockets deep

Wishing the best to all my former LNS colleagues. You were the best group of people I have ever worked with. The 1%er (MB) will find something even better.

Some of the best employees with around twenty years of service are leaving since they know the company doesn't want any badged employees with benefits so they are happy to leave on their terms. We keep the lazy over 30 years since the contract pays them 90 weeks pay and full retirement after years of management wasting time trying to convince HR they are useless. Wow. Great way to run a business?

If we're talking about Piscataway NJ, didn't they have layoffs before, only to be cancelled? The writing was nevertheless on the wall, hate to say.

My husband was swept up in the surplus today. 20 year employee, fantastic worker. What the hell is a 55 year old man supposed to do now? I hate AT&T, always have. Greedy b--tards.

Sorry to hear this. 30% is higher than 20% across the board cut we saw in #6 yesterday
