I've been at a designated hub location for almost 7 years and was not directly impacted. I know I would leave if told to relocate even if my relocation expense was covered by the company. There would still be too much uncertainty. Are there a... — read more

Very few employees are in my hub office this afterboon. It is like this every week. Mondays and Fridays are going to look very different next year.

If this is true, then it’s definitely time to look for other opportunities. I mean, if you haven’t started already. Not that the target number is shocking or anything. It’s all about dividends and bonuses for as long as there’s party. What will... — read more

I've been doing 5 days in the office for about 10 months. These 5 days were not mandated, and I do take advantage of WFH when I need to. I wasn't thrilled with returning, but for me it wasn't a huge deal. I live roughly 5 minutes away from my office... — read more 

Do I want to RTO? He-l no. But between that and being laid off, sadly, I'd take RTO. I am happy for those of you who can afford to lose your job over this. I'm glad you have an option of not complying and risking it all. I don't have that option. So... — read more

I've heard from multiple people that we are going to be forced back to the office 5 days/week starting 1/1. My biggest question is: why? I haven't seen a single productivity metric from the C-Suite. I thought they'd already hit their goal of layoffs... — read more 

I think it's safe to say that many people here are unhappy with AT&T and would jump at the chance to leave if they could maintain (or even improve) their compensation. This post is for the people who genuinely want to put in the effort to make that... — read more

You're getting laid off? Your manager or someone from HR?

It's exhausting to feel like management only sees us as a cost they want to cut. Do they really think AT&T can thrive without the people who do the actual work? Not going from a useless meeting to a useless meeting, but doing to work that keeps this... — read more
