Is it time for across the board offer ?
T doesn’t want us around and most of us don’t want to be with this sinking ship…make an offer and let’s see what happens. Let the exec’s steer this ship into the inevitable ice burg.
$$ Money $$
Leg T/CWA Union workers under me who work overtime every week make more money than I do and if they're laid off, they'll get more termination pay than I'll get. I have no resentment or jealousy. I'm just sharing a fact. The men and women on my team... — read more
Retail Stores
It seems as though all aspects of the business is being cut down. Seems like the only safe place is in a retail store. Haven’t heard anything about stores closing or turning to AR in a very long time.

I turned in my resignation
and was offered a re-connection award. I've received the connection award $$'s a few times but what is this? Was offered $7,500 to stay. For what it matters - I said HE11 NO and went to T-Mobile in DLLS.

It's not the first time I've heard that people find it easier to handle the stress of being jobless and looking for a new job rather than working here. Isn't that just sad?

More trouble for AT&T
First time in history that T-Mo has reported a lower churn rate than AT&T. No way around this potential problem other than investment in network and pricing. Bummer for the big boys. “AT&T’s churn rate was 0.79% in the recent quarter. This was 4... — read more

ATT makes widgets in Atlanta and Dallas
Demography, all the brains are in India now.
Call for action. Its time to unionize!
I think it's time for the HQ workers to call for a union. The RTO is clearly just another effort to surplus employees. For the workers that are left, its like the wild west to fight for parking and a desk somewhere in the building. We should... — read more

This is AT&T and if you are going to be surplussed you need to know now that your boss is your boss and not your friend. And he probably had a hand in you being picked to go unless your whole team was chosen. You need to call HR and report the things... — read more

For wave 1 people - if you don't move you're off payroll before November 2. If you find another job before then, even on November 1, you can leave but you won't get severance.
401K Question
Someone can confirm this but I think employees are vested in the company's 401k matching contribution once they are at AT&T for 5 years OR if they turn 65. My question is do you get the 401k match if you get laid off - oh, I mean surplussed :/ -... — read more

Ring Central said No Mo to Katibeh

Is this Lead Cable thing going to bite employees in A$$?
I know they will justify less benefits or layoffs as a result of this controversy.
Who has a better personal brand?
Fearless Leader Stankey or... Murray the amorphous cartoon blob that gives away mousepads for not being an imbecile with sensitive company information?

So, does anyone know what the solution will be for craft people? Everyone is hearing unsubstantiated rumors but nothing factual. Outside techs, inside techs?
