will the leadership teams calculate the loss with layoffs? for say, if T layoff 5000 employees roughly, all 5000 will move out from AT&T network and move to T mobile since they’re giving better perks for customers. Just rough estimation: 5000 *... — read more 

I think Stanley's plan for our fiber future is commendable. He is laying low, waiting for small and mid size companies to complete their fiber installs. Then he will swoop in and buy them up, same process they used for wireless. Genius, I knew he had... — read more 

Do SVPs and above keep their perks and benefits if they retire or surplused?

Anyone have any insight on the topic of this webcast? Email mentions repositioning the company?

Dont remember this before, it asks do u wanna take out our part before or after taxes. Whats the difference?

Heard that Kaiser is being dropped next year as an option. Anyone know anything about this? Is it true? Who does this affect? Retirees, Active employees, managers?

I can't believe that the management is counting on the people who are still here to absorb all the work of those who have been cut or left. How much has your workload increased lately? This company really doesn't know when enough is enough, right?... — read more 

but I'm still getting free services and it's been a few months with no bills. Do you think they will try to collect $$. I mean it's not theft as I called them to turn everything off

Any idea what is going on with that? They said up to 30% drop in our pensions. Heard this is the reason Paul is leaving (the rumor mill).

An enhanced offer of 5/5 and $10k would be a drop in the bucket if it accomplished the goal of offloading unproductive, overpriced workers quickly and cleanly. It’s a tool that’s been used many times before and given the current state of affairs, is... — read more 

Severance pay would be the best way out for me. Unfortunately, this company usually cuts employees who care about keeping their jobs, rather than those who hope to get cut. Do you think that there are more people who hope to be targeted than those... — read more 

Anyone hear of layoffs coming Nov 18 in Santone’s group? I know everyone is probably going through this but figured I’d ask.

Literally every single organization in this company will be impacted by layoffs. The company cannot thrive with the volume of employees here today, there is simply not enough revenue to support the weight. You will be impacted, ignore the signs and... — read more 

Mess it is today by a downward progression of incompetent,,empire building CEO's and rubber stamping BOD's going back 35 years. It's time to face reality and bring in a tech savvy Silicon Valley CEO to straighten it out. No more Bellheads. It's... — read more 

The real action will take place. A simple decision by management to offload $100k+ Com Tech tube jockeys and Assorted NTS's by means of an enhanced offered is inevitable. Ears deed to time and title plus a cash bonus is likely by June 2023.

This may be a late post but all term management employees will be let go in Florida by mid-month. Reduction due to “inflation” not sure how that makes sense.

How much vacation time/ pto time do managers get? Craft ?

I think that's an excellent question that someone asked here in one of the threads.

CWA represented Communication Technicians, NTS…off the books by June.

How’s the severance package looking? I’m ready.

Does AT&T own any part of Direct rv anymore?

I’m hearing a lot of chatter about further corporate store closures. Rumored that a call off much importance with leadership in early to mid November. Does anybody have any deets? I already know our days are numbered so I don’t need sarcastic... — read more 

Has anyone heard anything regarding these roles being eliminated or reorged?

If it don’t grow the business and the bottom line quit wasting time doing it. Cut the fat, hire techs to install fiber, hire IHX and store folks to sell mobility, quit hiring app dwebs and brain kids, hire horses and pay em to grow the business. It’s... — read more 

This is a total mess. The way this company manages the cuts is always behind smoke and mirrors. Can't they at least manage cuts a little better? I'm so tired of all this.

Just taking a survey to see what people's thoughts are on these dismal choices. No coverage on Non Network Medical is ridiculous

Call was on Monday, heard it was for everyone under Nicole Rafferty but other SVPs most likely as well. Volunteer emails are out, those directly effected would know by 11/17

It was announced this week that connected communities will surplus. They will notify by November 17 and those selected will be off payroll by December 1. I have heard rumors up to 50% can anyone confirm?

Why do some think it's positive if the surplus is not mentioned in the townhall? The fact that something wasn't mentioned directly means almost nothing.

A few people have mentioned it in other threads but that's it. Was somebody trolling?

So many physical assets, C.O’s towers, right of ways, etc. Shareholders could be rewarded handsomely. Tech giants, flush with cash would be happy to move in. Big changes are coming.

Legacy T Technicians to be offered enhanced voluntary severance package sometime after March 2023.

Did he mention anything about layoffs ?

I have stopped hoping that the positions of some of the employees who left will be backfilled at all. However, does mgmt think that those of us who are still around will continue doing triple workloads forever? Although some think that in the... — read more 

Here in San Diego the Central Offices are crowded with splicers all day. I guess it’s a free zone. Free pay , no work. Just hang out. Professional chair occupiers.

Finance announced layoffs today. They said emails will be sent tomorrow letting us know if our group is affected or not. The last day on payroll approximately 12/1/22.

Construction and Engineering surplus call today @9:00am. Any takeaways from folks on the call??

Do you think AT&T will have mass layoffs? Or, has the consistent downsizing prevented a complete sl------r?

It costs less to make employees leave voluntarily, than to pay for packages. I think they are becoming more and more creative in that sense.
