It’s 2:30 here at HQ. I’ve met my 40 hour requirement for the week so it’s time to head home. Man I love Summer Fridays!

Of course, they have to ki-l the stock to get the dividend rate back to the 7% of 2012. However, Stank will claim it is a victory and the useless board will reward him.

The culture is trash , no flexibility , no happy employees , no performance ,you run a company like it's 1980 ...this is what u get ..get this loser ceo out now !!!!

What a load of sh!t this all is. You don’t care about any of us. If you did you would have respected our survey feedback last year. People want flexibility, none of the other BS does anything for anyone.

How can you mess up a company so badly and never answer for any of it? Are we in a TV show and they have plot armor? What is it that's keeping them untouchable despite so many failures?

Just wondering if anyone was asked to move this year?

Another quarter another canvas for VSB candidates here in the west with no surplus ever being declared. F you HR people. Just offer ESRO across the board.

Why does management say presence reports aren’t really scrutinized anymore? Bull, if anything they are used even more. Why do you claim we have flexibility? Bull, we need approval in advance for Caregiver & WFH if we’re sick- that’s babysitting, not... — read more 

John is hosting a Dallas ONLY (sorry non HQ people) open mic today. Highest rated question from the chat I will stand up and ask.

I was diagnosed with shingles a week ago. I've been going to the office all along and plan to keep going in and using shared space. I'm not going to waste a sick day being actually sick. I'm trying to use a different spot every day. Enjoy.

I really hope I get selected this layoff wave otherwise I’m thinking of quitting. Anyone else feel the same? I was planning on waiting till next year but I don’t think I can make it.

Stank tried to spin the metric that 79% of the employees that did respond felt committed and engaged and used that number as support for his policies. He did not share the next metric that if only 79% of those who responded felt engaged/committed... — read more 

T is like an enormous dinosaur lumbering through the telecom space. Had we cared for the aging dinosaur by making sure our fiber footprint and customer service were robust, we could have survived the times we are in now. Instead we tried to weave... — read more

When will virtual employees be asked to move to a hub?

Major layoff rounds don't scare me. Those come and go and by the end of them we know where we stand. It's the constant silent layoffs that are destroying me. They can happen at any moment to any of us. That's the real problem with T. That's what's... — read more 

I need to relocate my family of 4 to hub in 2 months. My spouse has lost her job recently and going through tough time emotionally. Anxiety is taking a very big toll on us and I don’t even know where to start with the move. So much to do to in terms... — read more 

Planning is underway at this time for first quarter closing of the Bloomington Minnesota center and building.

Mobility build de-emphasized in capital allocation. Fiber build emphasized in capital allocation. So, where are all the REQs for wireline positions to manage the fiber build? There ain’t sh-t on workday.

Leadership seems to need a decoder to comprehend the results, so here it is. The negative survey results are not about healthcare perks or wellness programs no one uses, they are only about RTO and the lack of flexibility. “I am proud to work at... — read more 

I joined this company as a young blood years ago. Worked hard, built successful products aimed to grow and still doing the best I can. However I got busy with life, siloed to a Specific area where I am unable to land another job even after 3 years of... — read more 

Along with pretty much all of the company's institutional knowledge - both gone with all the key employees who either left or (most often) were forced out.

10% over next 5, wireline craft starts Q4 2027.

Is it 6/12 or 6/15?

I gave up hoping it would ever get better, or that my role would see any meaningful improvement or progression. I just hope the job market improves in the foreseeable future so we can all find better options. One thing I'm sure of - I will never work... — read more 

Have decisions already been made for notifications later this month?

The damage caused by the Stinky 8/1/25 email can never be undone. For most employees, the message was loud and clear: your concerns don’t matter. Your feedback doesn’t matter. Your time, family, commute, and quality of life don’t matter. Whether... — read more

Stankey is licking his chops looking to make some moves on the streets.

How do you deal with it?

Might as well leave your phone as well together with your laptop.

MGO spent millions on their conference a couple of weeks back. The L4 and up crew gets paid trips each year to have fancy retreats. We have people flying in for some stupid Leadership summit, and spend so much on things that do not really matter... — read more 

Anyone know how a management employee can volunteer for a surplus package?

Execs act like business is booming and Stankey is a genius, but T is worth the least of all telecom companies. These clowns act like their “AT&T guarantee” and aimless attack ads make a meaningful difference, but T has fumbled one of the biggest... — read more
