I think that there are a lot of people who are waiting it out so that they will get severance. It's kind of like the walking dead. People want to leave, and won't be really upset if they get surplused, but they are just waiting around for the ax to... — read more

Productivity
I get the sense all 155,000 employees are motionless while they wait and hope the CEO quits or is fired. It won’t change as long as he is in the position.

Did anyone go to Dish from AT&T?
I work for a Corporate AT&T Retail store, been here for 4 years. I’m thinking about applying to Dish to just sell. I’m kind of sick of ALL the Metrics & Customer Service stuff we have to deal with. The Authorized Retailer’s just send all the BS... — read more
Just moved to Dallas. The “Discovery District” is a sh!+h0le
Yeah, I moved to Dallas for the RTO thing. But it was also just a chance to make a better situation for myself, and I wasn’t leaving any family behind or anything, and I don’t regret it - yet. Anyway, after a couple of weeks at HQ, I am honestly... — read more

RTO Etiquette

US Post Office FAN ID
I’m starting a new job at T-Mobile next month, but in the meantime, I’m padding my numbers by adding the USPS FAN to every customer for the rest of June. That way I get a fat Commission check and when AT&T removes it, the customer have my personal... — read more

Occasionally see posts addressing Core, Prem and CO workload. What is going on in that organization? In a different department and really don’t have much contact with the outside world these days. Initially it seemed like they would handle fiber... — read more
This board is now awesome
For the longest of times, this board has been a griping post for company policies that benefit the employee and strip the abilities of our stocks, ruining our shareholder value. Finally, our shareholders are put first and employee demands are... — read more
This board is now terrible
Used to be a great place for info and to vent. Now it’s a steady stream of pro management shills and brown nosing clowns.
Zip It
Only post if you know something. Stop whining. Stop complaining. Share real news or zip it. Tired of know nothings blabbering about nothing. I check this sight for insight not insanity. Seek help.

Relocate for a job I can lose any moment in a dying company?
Don’t think so. There are other jobs. I prefer working to earn money, not lose money. T is not a company I’m willing to bet on or go extra length for.
Who will buy the scraps of AT&T?
We know it's coming. AT&T can only fail at this point. We just don't know exactly how long it will take. It addition to not knowing when, we also don't know who will swoop in to pick the usable assets from the quickly decomposing corpse of T. Any... — read more

Sums up the current situation at T
Saw this posted elsewhere and felt it was applicable to our current leadership's "culture" "No one wants to work. Our turnover is terrible." Did you give raises over 7%, the rate of inflation, so workers got ahead? "No" Did you give larger raises... — read more

Does anybody know when or if this is going to happen and what the size and scope would be? Do we get the AT&T severance benefit? Are any executives leaving?

June 14th Layoffs?
Hey guys - Was there supposed to be some big layoff event today? We're half-way done with the morning and I'm not hearing anything. Anyone here have any information?
Layoff number to 100k employees
My educated guess is AT&T will hit this number by mid 2025. Partly through attrition but mostly through direct layoffs or relocation ask. Guess or Thoughts?
AFO MW, District 4
When’s the layoff. The work isn’t there and they’re still hiring Premise Technicians. What’s the delay, decade of drinking out of a fire hose of work, write your own check, now there’s not enough to stay busy through the whole day. Chased numbers for... — read more
