The 6% 401k match is all T stock. Make sure you check on your 401k because if you're not managing it you're just propping up T stock and missing out on actual stock market gains. Make sure you don't have half of your 401k in T stock and swap out that... — read more

Hard work still pays off
Just not at AT&T. If you want your hard work to pay off, you'll have to bite the bullet and leave. It's sad but true.

Any time worked outside the office or not on corporate LAN/WIFI isn’t being counted
The only hours the report tracks are in office hours ONLY. Nothing extra you do on VPN after hours is seen/captured. The people who created this report falsely use this as a claim to say half the company is only working half days, but the reality... — read more
Monday after the week off
Really makes you realize how much you hate this place. A once great historic American company destroyed by DEI and horrible leadership. Soon this company will be no more than a hot link on Wikipedia.
I Have Tried Everything
Has anyone had any luck getting a WFH accomodation? Daycare costs are just too much in my area. I also coach my older kids travel soccer team and our practices are at 230, hasn't been an issue until now. Any help is much appreciated.
I gave up on T
RTO pushed me to look for other jobs. I came across a great opportunity and didn’t hesitate for a second to accept a job offer. Giving notice to T last week was the highlight of my 6-year ‘career’. Don’t let those a--holes treat you like cr-p. There... — read more

January will be a Company wide slowdown. Slow to answer emails, don’t attend conference calls, cancel calls you host, and be the least productive you can be. You not available because you are “collaborating” in person, got caught up in the break... — read more
I'm glad to be out
Kicking off my career at AT&T looked good on paper, but the reality was different. I don't mind hard work, but the job came with grueling hours, low pay, and a tough, stress-filled atmosphere. I realized pretty quickly it wasn’t the right fit and... — read more

December is work/life balance month.
The remaining month of the year is a free for all. No 3 days in office! What’s the point? 5 days is the new metric to track. Take December off, come back fresh. The kids are off school for the last two weeks. This is why we have caregiver time... — read more
AT&T had to abandon “EQUITY” so they could randomly enforce RTO.
Couldn’t have some relocate, some be telework, some be 3 days and some be 5 days and preach EQUITY.

CELL service
Can we talk cell phone service. I'm looking to get rid of my T service and possibly switch to Tmo. Has anyone exported they're cell number to new carrier? Are you flagged if you do this?
The week after Thanksgiving is a free week

I don’t care about reasons for RTO
I will comply with everything they ask, and be very diligent. I need the job badly, and I would rather get severance over quitting or being fired if I must leave. I don’t have other options at the moment, nor can I look for another job for a few... — read more
Resignation Questions
If you give notice end of January and your last day with the company is early February, do you get insurance coverage for the rest of February? And How much PTO will they payout if you didn’t use any days in the new year?
Happy Thanksgiving, make sure you swipe in the office and get your 8 hours in before you do anything else
It’s a Thursday, it’s a work day, go be with your coworkers at the office today. No excuses.

Ever wonder why so many great workers end up quitting?
AT&T proves the saying that "people don’t quit companies, they quit managers." Here, managers are: too busy climbing the ladder to care about their team or the company’s success, promoted based on connections, not actual skill or knowledge, or ... — read more

Anyone know why T hates their employees so much
Is it because we (the underlings) could not excecute on the WB and DTV mergers and caused the debt of the company to not realize in any monetary gains? Or is that that Bleek Rock owns the company and wants to boost up the Reel estate and surrounding... — read more
Other Telecoms are focused on being the best provider. T focused on badge swipes and LAN time, treating employees like prisoners.
T’s leadership’s only focus is making sure the presence report shows you swiped and sat for 8 hours 5x a week. You’re sick and can’t make it in? Better have a signed doctor’s note. These “executives” have no real vision/direction/motive to drive new... — read more
