I was just reading an article about how next year will look much better for ATT than 2022. Can anyone believe that? I can't. I hope that next year I won't even be here.
Enter to win an iPhone 14 Pro
Current employee sweepstakes just makes me giggle. We still have what, 200K employees? More? Enter for your chance to win an iPhone14 Pro! "An" as in "one". Meaning they are giving 1 (one) iPhone 14 Pro away for a big employee sweepstakes. ... — read more
We do it because we can
Somebody mentioned in another thread that AT&T is dishonest and underhanded and it's a wonder we have any customers at all. While I agree with the 'dishonest and underhanded' claim that's the perfect description for every single telecom company. We... — read more
What happened to Chris Donan?
Does anyone know what happened to Chris Donan? His sudden intention to leave seems unusual. Especially as he had been with the company for 18+ years and super well respected in National Business Mid-Markets. Also, the organization announcement... — read more
Have you ever witnessed violence in the workplace?
Several years ago, i attended a monthly staff meeting as a first level. 10 first levels and our director at the time. Our director was mean, he directed one of the first levels out into the hall. The director followed him out into the hall. The... — read more
Will the 3rd Quarter earnings report
cause T to layoff bargained for employees or lift the hiring freeze depending on how it goes? If the results are less than expected, is there still another date for a craft layoff announcement?
16 bucks and change with stankey the clown
its must be so embarrassing to be related to this chump. IQ of 0
AT&T OSP Engineer positions at Contractors in West (PacBell) and SE (BellSouth)
I was surprised that not only does AT&T use contractors for construction, they also use contractors for OSP Design & Engineering. No wonder there have been no openings in the OSP Engineering department with a lot of long time management retirements... — read more
No need for loyalty
I find it funny when I say I'm quiet quitting, and some older employees ask me what happened to company loyalty. AT&T declared war on its employees a long time ago. They don't pay us enough, take away our benefits, have non-stop layoffs, and I'm... — read more
$9.94 T Stock Price Today & Sinking
When AT&T let me go with 23,000 Management Employees just a few years ago, T-Stock was pushing $44.00+ per share. Follow the money!
How many of your colleagues have left in the last 2-3 months?
More of my colleagues left in the last 2 months than in the last few years.
Connection Award
Are they giving any this year? Any orgs gave awards & how much?
Does anybody know good recruiting firms for help with a job search?
I'm getting desperate here.
Pension hit due to segment rates
So the pension rates will take a hit if you dont retire this year. Can it ever replenish after 2023? For example if the segment rates go back down in 2024.?Can you recover what you lost and it starts rebuiding?. Or is that loss lost forever? Which... — read more
Open Office Concept
What fool decided to push T to implement open office. Bowling or Donavan? Trying to be like google and wasting millions. They also thought it would allow them to lay people off who would never be missed. No suddenly empty cube. Now they don’t want to... — read more
LeBum New Face of Company
A man who has never made it past the first page of a book. Perfect fit for AT&T.
AT&T Won't Let Older Phones Tap Into Its Full 5G Network After All
https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/no-at-t-wont-let-older-phones-tap-into-its-full-5g-network-after-all/
Is T the worst run major company in the country?
Just think of all the failed acquisitions, useless but costly reorganizations, and horrible decisions made in the last ten years or so. Name one company that had so many missteps in that period? And by that, I mean a major company, not a startup that... — read more
Facts
It's more likely to get struck by lightning than get a promotion at AT&T if you don't have somebody looking out for you. Nepotism and cronyism for the win!
WFH RETURNEES
Is there anyone on this board who has returned to the office this year that can shed some light on the covid numbers for your office since returning? My group was told of the payroll office have 25-30% of the office out any given moment due to covid... — read more
Does anyone admire or respect Stankey?
I can't find any reason to admire or respect Stankey, is it just me? He has done nothing to enhance T's position in the wireless arena. Everything he has done has cost the company dearly. $135B in debt due to failed acquisitions. How the he-l does... — read more
Layoffs
I kept hearing on here that layoffs would be announced on 9/15. Anyone have an update?
Stankey is advertising for Tmobile and doesbt even know it
Hey customers we are really bad and overpriced but not as bad as Tmobile says so we are going to file a law suit.
They are just experimenting
I would call ATT's business strategy - an experiment. How many other companies do you know that hire people only to lay them off shortly after? There aren't many of them. Such an "experimental business strategy" is very frivolous and the... — read more
How many benefits did we lose in the last decade?
I've lost count. They keep pushing to see how far we'll let them take things and we just keep rolling over. We don't deserve better, to be honest. For as long as we continue to be nice, loyal lapdogs, we deserve everything that T leadership throws... — read more
Someone on here edits and deletes posts. Censorship.
My posts are not offensive, just possibly not in agreement with someone's political views. So I'm seeing several of my responses get deleted. And new threads are deleted if responses don't agree with the poster.
Stankey sues TMUS
Stankey is sick of lies. TMUS claims Only seniors 55 and over in FL qualify for senior discounts. While TMUS offers 55 and over discounts to seniors everywhere, not just in FL. Why waste money in court? Just offer the 55 and over discount to T... — read more
Racist Behavior
Does HR pursue and discipline managers that engage in racist behavior toward minorities, or is it overlooked?
No use disconnects
Anyone lose their job or get in trouble for no use disconnects? I thought they were cracking down on them?
Bad decisions
Several colleagues and I had a rather interesting discussion about what we consider to be the worst moves among all the bad moves that happened here. Which one would you single out as the most harmful to the entire company?
Staying 30 years
Is there really any benefit in staying 30 years? I have 28 years and 2 months in and have been offered a pretty good opportunity. Is there any benefits that I would lose by jumping ship? I reached the Rule of 75 a couple of years ago.
Strategic Partnerships
So T-mobile partnered with Starlink recently and Apple partnered with Globalstar for it's emergency sos over satellite, is AT&T going to do anything? Would have been nice partnering with Starlink tbh.
Interest in Leaving offers?
Any “interest in leaving” announcements/offers made recently?
ATT reorganizations and layoffs are never done for
Strategy. They are done for necessity tonhit a number on a spreadsheet with total disregard for the ripple effects. Successful companies have a plan in place that limits disruption and keeps morale high above water. ATT just has fire drills... — read more
Buggywhips
Why doesn't Stankey see value in manufacturing buggywhips? I don't get it, he throws all the companies money away on failed acquisitions, yet fails to see value in buggywhips. Not a lot of upfront investment, I say give it a try, what does T have to... — read more
All those reorgs
Structure and flow of a business need to evolve and change over time. However, even the mention of the word "reorganization" sickens me in this company. Why do reorgs mostly fail here?
Breaking News: Arnoldi makes The Forbes CEO Next List
This is the annual Forbes list of 50 executives who are likely to lead some of America’s top companies.
At this point with morale in the garbage and the company
In the shape it is in, ATT is simply a low end Bond Issue replacement and a very poor one. Cash Flow issues, dividend at risk, it would be a poorly rated bond.
