Topics regarding layoffs at AT&T

First Sanbar and Now Kertz

Seems like the higher ups are jumping ship with a golden parachute. Not saying they were good just that they all seem to be leaving.

I’ve been trying to leave

But it’s so difficult to find another job. I haven’t been with T for long, I do have a decent skill set, a fine resume, yet all the offers I ever got were really bad. Has anyone had any good experiences with job search lately? I’m hoping it’s just me... — read more 

I’ve been laid off the last round

Now I regret that I waited for a while to be laid off instead of leaving on my own. It’s great that I got the severance and all, but I wish I left earlier. I completely lost perspective while in T. I allowed myself to stagnate and be majorly affected... — read more

80% of the employees at T are over 50

And ready to retire in the next 10 years. Stankey trying to push them out early when all he has to do is give them 6 months pay. Destroyed an entire company’s culture to achieve what could have been achieved with a minimal severance package... — read more

Mid-market sales

At this point, it seems like sales is just a lot of retail individuals, some college students and a mix of people who know their resources and techs. It was very interesting to hear our SVP say that they're doing changes on how talent is brought but... — read more

It's hard to understand why people stay here

I'm the newest person on my team, and the only one not freaking out about losing my job nonstop. Everyone else seems robotic and submissive, just going through the motions. Everyone is scared to say anything and keep everything to themselves. I can't... — read more

Ad-supported DIRECTV for FREE

Toxic culture
