Where is everyone? I thought we were all 5x8 RTO. Maybe all took vacation.

Your manager doesn't matter at all. They don't do anything regarding whether you remain employed or not, they learn of you getting fired about an hour before they let you know...they are useless so don't worry about pleasing your management.

Trust me, after doing it for over 25 years for T just to be kicked out the door...don't do ANYTHING over the bare minimum for T, they won't recognize nor reward, they don't give a S about you, just remember that.

Your union “leadership” are not helping your cause. But they will be quick to want your support when contract time comes. Get involved at your locals and change your outcomes. Prems/wire techs outnumber the other technician groups.

Jeremy Bachelor in Arts is giving a speech on software today, other speakers Martha Stewart on differential equations, and the Michelin man on theology.

Obviously a tiny part but heard that a Director and 2 AM’s got tagged earlier this week. Speculation is one of the AM’s got hit to save the Director a spot. When level bumping is being discussed it usually means things are getting real.

What can we expect

Curious if any AT&T employees who are over 50 and qualify for a pension have been unexpectedly put on a “Development Plan”?
