AT&T Ethics Hotline

Does the public have the right idea about AT&T?
It seems to me that despite everything, a lot of people still think that the workplace here is much better than it really is.
Is Jeffie back in the saddle?
Jeffie had fallen out of favor with Stankey, it seems like they buried the hatchet. The big question is if Jeffie is back to being Stankey's replacement, moving ahead of Jeremy.

Pxq?
Honestly, can someone explain how PXQ or whatever it’s called helps people with commission? It seems like doesn’t really give those in sales any more money. Is this supposed to be their way of paying us less for our hard work?

Many positions are hardly justifiable
I'm just finding a lot of positions to be completely unnecessary. I'd have he-l of a time getting out of bed every morning and trying to convince myself that going to work is worthwhile.
Any Layoff, group relocations, reorgs or consolidation news?

Start New Job While Waiting for Severance
Is anyone going to start a new job while waiting for severance? Is it possible to manage the month or so of overlap?
Santone to Lee
Any significance to Lori Lee taking over HR? I’ve never had contact with Lee. Is she Stankey’s lap dog that will do whatever he wants?
Why so many interns?
Ok, I was a major skeptic of RTO. But I’ll admit it - there IS collaboration. But why do we have so many interns? In Dallas there are tons of people doing nothing other than taking interns to lunch, making presentations, taking up conference rooms... — read more

Do you think the work atmosphere at competitors is any less toxic?
It would be great if it was, but judging by what some former colleagues who left say, it's not ideal there either. Far from it.
The biggest lie ever
How skewed are our books? How could we possibly be hitting our expected earnings when most people barely do their job here? Top sellers all do what their not supposed to. Customer service would rather play hot potato with a customer than actually... — read more

T to buy Paramount
Stanley realized he shouldn't have sold warner. It's been downhill everywhere since. So he's buying Paramount now. It would barely add to the debt.
GEM Mobility integration
Just curious how others around the nation are being impacted directly within the SLED org. Specifically the mobility integration that goes into effect 09/01 which is adding 2-300% of unnecessary direct sellers in many markets. Many of the SLED... — read more

If near/over the rule of 75, you are most likely gone (unless you move across country)
Three of my team members (all over rule 75, all TW long before covid) were assigned to offices states away from them, despite closer ones being available. They were given the choice of reporting to that office or surplus. All three of them got... — read more
Yellow Corp Is T's Future
https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/31/business/yellow-corp-closing/index.html
how and where we work
It is not RTO anylonger it is refered to how and where we work. I was informed of that today. Now I feel so much happier with the new way it is phrased. "2% more chocolate" George Orwell 1984
So no fiber layoff under Bolton?
Was told today there’s no layoffs for Fiber sellers but it kinda sounds like a lie just to get sellers to perform their best
Odds we will see the recording from last week's 2q earnings town hall
I'm thinking 0% chance, legal jumped in and probably had it deleted or locked
