There is a lot of rumors about this date. I hope there will be no layoffs because rumors never appear just like that without there being at least a little truth in them. Does anyone have verified info?

I’m no longer as engaged as I used to be because I’ve been convinced many times that ATT doesn’t value my efforts but I’m still working pretty hard and I hope to be able to stay here for as long as I feel like it. The company is no longer what it... — read more

I left a little over 6 months ago. My situation has improved, but not as much as I had hoped. Sometimes I do think of what could have been if I had stayed, but I am reminded of why I left in the first place after reading the posts here. I guess this... — read more
