Just got surplused and have a couple of questions for those recently surplused:
Did you continue you're 401K as is at Fidelity or roll it over to a Rollover IRA? If you rolled it over, did you open a rollover IRA at Fidelity or another brokerage where you have other accounts? I am going to take the lump sum cash pension... — read more

Pascal Desroches for CEO of ATT
Pascal Desroches is currently CFO for CEO. My diligent, conservative, and disciplined black brother, who specializes in accounting, will rectify the current situation and boost our stock price. ATT will be great again under his leadership.
BS strike posts
The Mgrs aren’t covering the work and it will manifest itself on the bottom line, and every person on strike isn’t having grilled ribeye for lunch. Both sides are hurting. Know some Union folks who said they will be making a hard decision this... — read more

Reimbursement of CP deployment expenses?
Do you think the company should be able to recoup their CP training and deployment expenses from the CWA when considering the increase of Union benefits for a new Contract?
Improved accountability of Craft workers
The CWA has a reputation for creating lazy workers. Should AT&T raise the bar by requiring better accountability and improved performance from the Union workers than has been observed in previous years?
The unions arguments on CWA member spouses paying 3-4 million to The company is a false narrative
The CWA finally gave an answer as to why the standstill is being held with insurance. Their argument is 3-4 million per year is being credited to the company to help pay for supplemental insurance offered to the spouses of employees that have an... — read more
Managed employee insurance cost increase
Should managed employees bear the individual cost burden of a $1475 annual increase to break the stalemate and get the CWA members back to work?
A full month without the CWA workers shows they aren't needed
Unnecessary overhead. Time to explore less expensive, more productive options.
When you issue an ultimatum..
and the Company just shrugs it off.

Was a joke of pre-orders in COR stores! No body wanna get em! No incentives! Same ole trade in stuff. Best of luck “T”!
Union health care
I heard our healthcare is being turned off… does the union provide supplemental?
CP Assignment Walkout
I am starting a CP Assignment Walkout thread. Monday morning at 7 am all CP Assignment managers call out for a sick day. Who is with me?
Math is hard
Just so we are all clear on what the latest CWA update equates to. If we agree that the company has sc--wed us out of ~$8m in 2023. That equates to ~$600 per employee. How much have we given up over the past four weeks. Rhetorical because the math... — read more

What are we expected to work in terms of hours? I have very little details provided to me other than to show up at 6 am in San Leandro tomorrow. Did anyone else get notified from the CP24 portal?

Went out about 3 pm Friday, eastern time
As a non-union employee
I support the strike. I only wish it can somehow trigger the overhaul at the top of the company. I know it’s not going to happen, and I know that is not the purpose of the strike. But it definitely shed a bit more light on bad management and the bad... — read more

Union bedtime
When do we get our daily update on the union leaders bedtime with no other negotiation info?… lol
Its so hard in this economy
I couldn’t imagine missing an entire month of pay. A lot of people suffering for nothing. The offer was more than reasonable and you know it. Destroying your finances will take you 8 years to recover from. Is it really worth it?
They don't care
The ultimate goal is to push toward reducing locations by forcing people out of undesirable locations via firings, forced attrition, etc. This will allow them to offer jobs only in the demographic they want. This slims down the real estate and... — read more

Boeing workers vote overwhelmingly to strike, in defeat for troubled company
Join the club, everyone is tired of the elite enriching themselves and laying off workers while expanding scope of work for those left. AT&T is no different than all of these other corporations that have the Lords and the serfs mentality.
