Is it really true?
I've heard the old saying "a happy employee is a productive employee" but is that really true? You'd think if that were true more companies would be going out of their way to make sure their employees are happy. It looks to me (at least judging by... — read more

ATT Wireless has no chance against Verizon and TMobile
They are miles ahead with 5G and 3G turn off for ATT a disaster of epic proportions. Public perception of ATT is very bad, distribution weak, and network decimated as capital flowed to service debt.
I left AT&T 2 years ago
I hired in 1997. The benefits were great. The pay made you upper middle class because you did not have to pay outrageous healthcare costs. Now I hear the pension that many came to work for is being attacked. I am disgusted how employees who... — read more

How much success have you had in job hunting?
I'm not very satisfied, but I hope that I will not stay here much longer. The problem is that I didn’t think much about one day having to look for a new job, so I didn’t expand the skillset much beyond what my job required here. Besides, it seems to... — read more
EMPLOYEE FEEDBACK ...
It would be a public service if T had a site where employees can go without the fear of legal action . To share stories about certain former and current managers. ........who are no benefit to society , the company and to the... — read more
A talent nursery?
One should look at things from the positive side: if ATT hadn’t gotten rid off good employees (and continues to do so), they would never have realized how much they are actually worth. Everyone I know who has left here has done great things in much... — read more
Stankey's Virility and Brilliance update
All of the T haters and malcontents need a reality check. And the best way is to just look at cold facts. T's stock has skyrocketed to $29.30 today, July 6, 2021. That's almost the same as the closing price on July 26, 2011. You don't get this... — read more
Stankey's eminence just took another nose dive
"Noticeably absent from the list of attendees... AT&T CEO John Stankey, who earlier this year announced plans to spin out two of the company's media investments — DirecTV and WarnerMedia. There doesn't appear to be any other AT&T executives attending... — read more
It feels like the company is on cruise control.
It feels like the leadership team is asleep at the wheel. Not much, if any, information being shared. I expected more direction discussion after the announcements of spinning off DTV and WM. I guess this is the way things will be at T under the... — read more
LAYOFF CONCERN...
I drove past the old work center going to the doctor and things must be pretty bad at T ............... it appears they also no longer mow to cut cost .
if we are spitting up the company - why not split fiber/landlines and Cellular ?
I wonder if the board and the exec's will get a pay cut since they will managing a smaller company? Why not split out the cell part also - be just like TM?
Funny intermezzo
This is probably only funny to those of us who are from San Antonio, but here it goes anyway. I know this is not layoffs related - sorry about... — read more
We keep sinking
Have you ever seen more disorganized management than what AT&T has had in the past decade or so? We'll focus on this, no let's focus on that, now we'll spend billions on something completely different while we sell the first thing... How long do you... — read more

What I noticed
When I got a job at T some 25 years ago it was my first choice and I remember being overjoyed that I got in. Today, T has morphed from the first choice for many college graduates to a last resort job. We used to be able to attract the best, now we're... — read more
How does this work?
AT&T sold another building and then signed a long-term lease with the new owner. How does selling a building and then continuing to lease the space works financially? It's a short-term gain but long term it makes little sense. Most businesses buy the... — read more
Cheap labor ironically may not be cheaper
I don’t want to underestimate anyone, there are probably a lot of great workers doing a good job in foreign countries for a lot less money. However, I still think that the quality is significantly lower. The company wants to save as much as it can... — read more
Leave ATT (Do yourself a BIG Favor)
Get out of this horrible company. I left and its been a positive in absolutely every way. Bunch of lazy incompetent engineers work at ATT. Except for the National team most all of them are a bunch of spoon fed babies.

Subsidized Retiree medical in the future?

One year later

Return to Work (RTW)...are you vaccinated?
It would seem that AT&T would cover all bases when dealing with employees, but they are overtly leaving a segment of the population out of the RTW model. If you are vaccinated you get the "Perks" If you are not vaccinated, you wear a mask and... — read more

Still waiting for an apology
When will JTS step up and own his M&A failures for the past 5 years. There must be some level of accountability no matter what level, when you waste $160B. You want your employees to trust you with this new strategy, own your mistake and admit you... — read more
Pension termination
If a manager with over 25 years with AT&T would get terminated, not surplussed, would they lose their pension? Or is what already is vested safe?
Can Chow replace Stankey?
Yes, I realize she believes in unicorns, but does she have what it takes to replace Stankey? I don't like poppinfresh, Chow may be the best option.
