Imagine a man who milks this company for $26 million a year telling his employee base that they are not productive enough. Employees make less than one percent of what this man makes a year. He got an 18% raise and gave the rest of us 2.5% and were... — read more
Seeing laptops left connected with no one around.
Guess they went home and left it behind for RTO hours in office. Lol
Incompetent Management
For the love of a higher deity, can SOMEONE teach L3-L4 managers reading comprehension and writing skills? Administer a competency exam testing these basic skills before promoting a bumbling buffoon who creates churn in the organizations. Or better... — read more
Furlough incoming for IT workers
Title says it all. The fun never ends!
Just moved to Dallas, and got my severance Friday
I just sold my home, moved my family, bought a new home at twice the monthly cost I had before, and now I have two weeks to find a new job or I’m going bankrupt. I don’t know what to do, I can’t believe they did this to me. These people are evil. — read more
Ship of fools
This leadership is literally braindead. They must know that nobody respects them anymore, right?
Dec 13
It is a Friday
Surplus packages
What can be expected?
No you can’t work from home on Thanksgiving
In addition, we are grateful for your accomplishments this year and wish you and the family, you won’t see, a happy holiday.
COU will be used to Track RTO
By far the easiest way to utilize tech to create a Geofence at your designated office address and track hours in office. Not here to argue just speaking facts.
L4 and L5 surplus
Did a bunch get let go? Happy fall y’all!
What’s the RTO attrition rate that would please leadership?
All of us? We will not get better working conditions. Just less personal time and more expenses. When being herded like a cattle into barn-like conditions doesn’t work out and we don’t meet the desired attrition rate, what will be next? I’m morbidly... — read more
Milk this puppy for all that you can
Swap the 401K match out. Do not buy ATT stock at all. If you leave and have a pension get it out into an Rollover IRA. Do the bare minimum. Show the ivory tower No Quarter.
ATT to begin charging it's employees a fee
For various working conditions. Similar to Airlines and no assigned seating, reserved seats, business class, first class, window seats etc.... I have heard charges will range from 1-4% of annual salary for you to have the best working conditions... — read more
There's a burnout epidemic in my group
We're drowning in constant stress. The nonstop pressure is unbearable. What on earth does management think it's doing?
John didn’t see this one coming
He’ll go down in history as the CEO who made conditions so bad for employees that every single manager in the company voted to join the union. Congrats John! You did it!
L2 Relocation Package Details
Are any L2s getting relief packages? What are some of the financial details?
Does T even care about retaining some talent?
With layoffs, attrition and RTO, all I’ve seen was T literally shedding competent people. If leadership wants to downsize and reduce costs by having less people on the payroll, fine. But how does it make any sense to have all talent, people with... — read more

Any word on L2 layoffs?
With the L3 and L4 layoffs done, have we heard when L2s might be next?
Enough is Enough Unionize L1 & L2
We’ve all had it. Forced return-to-work policies that disrupt our lives for no reason. Being scrutinized based on feelings instead of facts. Unrealistic targets set by bad data. Policies that drag down productivity instead of supporting... — read more
Promoting the wrong people is driving talent away
When you promote the wrong people again and again, it’s no surprise the best ones walk out the door. When will management finally figure this out?
Cash Flow
Where does AT&T record revenue made from their stadiums? 72,000 fans showed up to Mike Tyson’s fight, making a whopping $18million dollars.
Goodbye yellow brick road
Got my notice. Made it 28 years. Last 20 of them looking over my shoulder. Fare thee well, Hiawatha. Fare the well, mighty warrior.
RTO Mandates: Hard Truths for Leaders
The data is out there folks. This is why AT&T is the follower and never the leader. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ec_yZCWOCY
Here’s a whopper for the weekend
Was in a presentation focused on high-level corporate strategy this week and right there in PowerPoint it said we want to be the best employer. No joke. Practically s_it my pants when I saw that one. Only other line about it in the deck was about... — read more

Reduction in surplus packages for 2025?
As a cost cutting measure will surplus packages be reduced in 2025 for management employees?
Presence report
Company isn’t competent enough to properly track presence. Tired of being questioned because they are incompetent.
Dear john and Jeff - we’d love to love you again
John and Jeff you both have found yourself in scenarios where you’re making 20 to $30 million a year… You have two options at feet that is option one.) You can keep on the your same path and find yourselves at the lowest of ranks of CEOs and CEOO’s... — read more

CEO rebrands DE&I to C&I
Culture & Inclusion…. will work as well as our CEO’s personal rebranding effort.
5 day RTO is a direct result of coffee badgers
Sure they want attrition, but the amount of people I've seen arriving late and leaving early has ruined it for the rest of us who are putting in the time. I realize most of us are less productive in the office, space is limited and many don't have... — read more
Quiet quitting
AT&T should increase efforts to remove these employees who make a minimal contribution and in doing so encourage others to quiet quit through either passive or active means. We've lost so many truly productive contributors over the past few years. We... — read more
I am no longer a flex worker, therefore I will not work like a flex worker
My COU will be off at 5. Working 8 to 5 is not giving less to the company, it is a full work week. That is exactly what they are telling us they want: five full days in the office. That is not flexible and I am no longer a flex worker, therefore I... — read more
Phone stores empty....nobody buying online
Last time I went to a phone store was last week. the stores are empty. I also don't buy new phones online either. So the demand is not there for any telco. The telco revenue must continue to drop. So as old people pass away, the phone lines will... — read more
