Enjoy your labor day, cause looking at the companies in the tech/telecomm industry (Cisco, Verizon, Tmo, Msft) are starting their downsizing phase due to market conditions and looking to make 3rd qtt look less disappointing. T is not going to... — read more
Morale in the toilet and it isn’t recoverable
New employees are seeing it and are already applying to outside jobs to get out. It’s like a double layoff. And NOW the job market is nosediving. Halp
Commenting or posting here while at work?
Hope everyone understands every keystroke you make is captured (goes for you folks at home on VPN also), even personal devices connected to company Wi-Fi. Appears a lot of these post are happening during company hours? Just saying……. Good luck.
LAYOFFS BY LEVEL SURVEY!
So, if level 1-2 layoffs have been x% of level 1-2 employee headcount index that value at 1.00. What have been layoffs relative to headcount for levels 3,4 and 5 plus. Lets try and have serious replies only. If anyone has any inside information or... — read more
Massive layoffs coming in CS@O
Hearing this August layoff will be a bad one. Get ready domestic peeps. The gutting of talented US workers will take T closer to being majority overseas employment in no time. Nice job ki-ling a once great American based company.
FOW status
Sorry if someone answered this question before, but what does FOW status mean in webphone? In contrast to FTO “Full time office” thank you.
Outsourcing coming
How long before the tide turns and we start outsourcing employees? Remember 2019? Bidding will begin, and Tech M, Accenture, or Amdocs will bid and pay T up front for work and millions thereafter. Employees will be sold as cattle and later slushed... — read more
ATT India
Did you noticed how fast growing is number of T employees in India under Summers? It is exploding.
Nailed it
Taking some training and it read “When employees are constantly portrayed as the problem, it can lead to a lack of trust and engagement”. Ya think? John, I found the answer you’ve been looking for. Culture will improve if you change your entire... — read more
Project managers
If you are going to save billions contract real project managers and get rid of in house project managers that have nothing to do and are clueless about their job functions.
Interesting
Tell me I’m wrong. Only management mostly is moving to Dallas and the other locations. Craft/union employees are not. The C Suite is refusing to negotiate with the union and analysts are predicting that 2025 will be T’s worst year for layoffs. ... — read more
John Dwyer was one of the good ones
Hate to see him go.
AT&T to follow Starbucks to return value
Would the board fire Stinky to give shareholders a 20% bump up in stock prices like Starbucks did. ?
What do you guys think about using salesforce instead of opus?
I know it's only in certain test markets, but for those that have access too what do you guys think? Most of my team likes it so far. It keeps hanging up after entering an address when starting a new account, but tbh besides that it seems a lot... — read more
"We're also continuing to make progress in our culture transformation, ..."
Oh really? You're actually somehow measuring the swiftness with which the culture goes right down the commode? What a bleeping joke. You're going to send an email (and all of these clowns basically sent the same one) --basically blaming the 99.5%... — read more
Dallas
When will all the hubs be asked to move to Dallas?
What fun we are having.
We see now the company sycophants and the paid trolls are fully engaged. We see the "down vote" army is engaged. Why is this? Must be striking a nerve with "leadership". In the following days expect to see more posts from trolls that claim to be... — read more
Our Politicians have failed us all of them
I don't care if it's the left or right—both sides have failed us. Giving companies like AT&T tax breaks and COVID relief without any conditions has done nothing for American workers. Imagine if Trump’s corporate tax cut had a rule: companies could... — read more
Strikes are happening across District 3
The company decided they would rather litigate than negotiate in good faith so, an Unfair Labor Practice was filed by the union against the company. This was after 2 months of trying to bargain, prior to contract expiration on August 3rd. The company... — read more
Expense Reimbursement
Does anyone have insight into the reason mileage reimbursements were halted/frozen for almost 3 weeks?
CEO Training - Buy what you don’t understand
Seems like the CEO of Stellantis went to the same training as the Stank. Running Dodge & Jeep into the ground just like Stank did Warner. And the employees lose once again.
Trust the Process!
LOL.
Who is Jeremy Legg?
I had not heard of him till recently, but now all of sudden he's being roasted in team calls, chat rooms, and here on this site. Who is he? Hopefully he's not in charge of anything important.
“Always on" sometimes
How come the CTO, Jeremy Legg, and his companion in crime, LaForge, still have jobs? Massive data leaks and many network outages under their belts? Why aren't these individuals held accountable?
To Jeremy Legg
Started the day with this tu-d in the mailbox: "How we're performing against success bonus measure." Simply put - it's hard to build durable relationships with customers when we have outages and data incidents. We must do better. Fu-k you, you... — read more
MS Teams
Does anyone know if they monitor our chat conversations?
Talent drain
Anyone else notice very competent people leaving? Seems that those that can leave and fleeing.
D9 contract details?
Anyone have a link.? Can’t find any info on line.
D3 - Unfair Labor Action Filed
The company continues to bargain in bad faith and hasn’t offered one improvement since, bargaining began over 2 months ago. It’s been over a week since the contract expired at midnight August 3rd so, the union filed the ULP. Last contract employees... — read more
Where are the survey results ?
Thought they were important and were going to be released a long time ago. Must not be the results Stankey and team, were expecting. How can things be improved or move forward if it isn’t shared? Must have finally gotten the unvarnished truth on how... — read more
We don't need another hero.....
Working at ATT has become Thunderdome with Master Blaster.
District 9 Contract
They're trying to freeze their severance pay at 120 weeks. Brutal.
Can't work from midwest, but India is ok?
Interesting to note team members being let go for living in cheaper areas as you have to be in a Hub location for "culture" or "collaboration", then you see FTE hires in India 12 hours off from us getting green lit. I'm sure it's not because they are... — read more
Construction and Engineering Layoff Remek Org?
Any rumor of layoffs expected in the Kertz-Remek organization?
Severance Payout, Within 45 days, but when actually?
Today is my last day. I received my last paycheck with a PTO payout, signed the waiver, and will get severance within 45 days. For those who have been laid off with severance, when did you get it? Was it the full 45 days, or was it sooner? I just... — read more
More work, fewer workers
Is anybody else getting really fu--ing tired of this?
Another Exec has ‘retired’
They announced Brenda Kittila has ‘retired’ today. Head of Operations, Business Development and Product Strategy. Probably got the boot with a golden handshake.
If John Stankey is The Toecutter then
Who will rise up like Max?
