I’m a former AWS employee: most of the hot takes on Amazon's new strict return-to-office policy are wrong. Anyone who’s been paying attention saw this coming years ago. And ultimately, it comes down to taxes and economics. Here's their plan: Phase... — read more 

Just vote YES, and move on.

Doesn’t seem worth it at all. Pay raise and new salaries sound paltry. Medical insurance is still expensive. Company is laughing at union.

The stock has got to be rigged. I knew by posting the stock soaring comment would cause it to go south. It was a test and man was i right. Watch it tank back to $16.00. What an incredible game the company plays

Wave 3 started already, wave 2 is still under way. Why don’t we just call it as it is, “uninterrupted endless wave of layoffs”? I’m sarcastic, but making the distinction can make some people falsely believe that they are safe from layoffs, for a... — read more

2nd day back. Any insight on how things are going? Missing tools, dispatching on jobs not completed correctly, OT requests, ie forced OT etc. Would also be interested in how much of the work backlog has been cancelled. Would imagine yesterday was a... — read more 

LOL on the ‘stock surge’. Since 2016, the SP500 is up 173%. Meanwhile, AT&T stock is down 30% over that same time period. Great Leadership!

I'm a retired r/75 in the past year and watching many of my life long friends lose their jobs to the cuts over the last few years. I see a future with 75k employees and a set of assets that can turn a decent mid single growth to keep up a small... — read more 

Does anyone know the Union structure before 1983? Were wirelines contracts united across regions, and were Legacy T and Western Electric included or separate contracts?

Stankey sent out a message this morning saying "something" was coming to reward CP managers for their efforts during the strike, but I would ask any Exempt Manager who was activated during the strike to keep careful notes on what time you worked and... — read more 

With these TAs in place the company can refocus on the important stuff. Like laying of managers and getting the lazy ones to work from an office.

Have any CP’s received notification from their CP manager that they can make arraignments to return home?

A lot of you all want the money NOW. I get that. The point of the TA/Contract is to continuously make your life better while working for the company. As most mature and grow over the five years you will see. 106k salary for ST,FT, DT and ETs. WT 72k... — read more 

This has caused enough disruption in all of our lives.

I’m happy that District 3 and 9 actually worked hard for their union members. District 6 is a joke and is weak. I am so ashamed to be part of D6.

The sad part is there was probably some huge bonus to people way higher that the affected craft employees, CP employees, lower management, and customers if they got DirecTV and both District TAs done by 9/15.

Communications Workers of America CWA members have reached strong tentative agreements with AT&T Southeast and AT&T West for new union contracts. The contracts were bargained separately. The agreement in the Southeast ends the 30 day strike –... — read more 

What BUs are getting full time RTO letters? Game over!!!!

Those poor guys in utility ops get sc--wed over by the union again. No reduction in OT hours. Everyone already gets 3-5 days for bereavement, and who in the he-l needs more union time. All the other departments got a reduction in OT hours. Poor guys... — read more

Would be interesting to see what insights will/might be gained after the strike is over. Probably not much from a tech standpoint as the newbie strike Mgrs don’t have a clue for the most part. However systems are another issue especially automation... — read more 

What are the deets?

Why is it so quiet? I heard rumors we were close enough to return Monday and then now zero communication this weekend. Did they take the weekend off?

Yeah, I stole it from another poster, but their statement speaks truth to power.

I know some were just informed on Sept. 9th, two weeks and they are gone. When is wave 3 starting? Will that be the last one or has another wave been announced yet? Maybe in the upcoming town-hall we will get more answers. I’m tired of being... — read more 

If the strike lasts through the week folks will have lost 10% of this year’s income. That’s hard to make up.

The poor union folks were promised unrealistic expectations by their negotiators and now the negotiators are struggling with their ego to even present the best offer to membership. So instead they will keep saying ULP when in reality they just over... — read more
