Big talk and no action?
This is a problem for most people in general, and especially here, they complain a lot and do little to escape from this awful company. How many applications have you submitted? I allowed my manager’s horrible behavior for only one month. The next... — read more

Too many product offerings
One of the problems with AT&T, is that there are too many services in our portfolio, most of which we do not have the technical expertise to design and operate. Consider our sad Cloud product. That thing is broken more than it works. Also look at... — read more

Return to Office
Heard there will be a communication regarding returning to office coming out tomorrow. Seems to be targeting a July timeframe. Any info out there?
Probably the best article I've seen on where the company is & where it's going
Here's what honest analysis looks like from someone who's not trying to protect the members of the 1% like the American corporate media does. https://braziljournal.com/att-sold-time-warner-the-stock-is-still-a-short
C’mon people, aren’t there any pending layoff rumors coming in the near future?
Everyone is posting nonsense that most people couldn’t care less about, cr-p that can de discussed at the water cooler. Doesn’t anyone know of layoffs coming or offers coming in the near future? THAT’s the only reason I periodically check this... — read more
Tech shortage.
Hearing from a former coworker that T is offering employees $600 for employees referrals if they hire and a signing bonus if the new hire stays past 90 days in Indiana. What a sad state the company is in if they can’t keep new hires. I was told... — read more
When would you rather move from a corporation to a small company?
I’ve never worked in a small company before, I even got my first job at a large corporation, so I have no experience of what it looks like when you work in a small company. All I know is that every big corporation started with a passionate team that... — read more
I equate Stephenson and Stankey with the following
Elizabeth Holmes and Enron, Bernard Madoff, The Enron Gang Skilling Fastow and Lay. Only thing is I consider these groups smarter as Stephenson and Stankey never fooled anyone. They were enabled by a impotent board of directors. But the financial and... — read more

A Japanese company and a North American company decide to have a canoe race
A Japanese company and a North American company decided to have a canoe race on the St. Lawrence River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The North... — read more
I’m ashamed to work at AT&T
Once, when people asked me where I work I was proud to say where I work. Now it is the opposite. Usually, the only talk about this company that I hear is talking about poor and overpriced services so I try to avoid the topic. That and the fact that I... — read more
Stankey Stock Purchase
Stankey buys $1million of AT&T stock, however he a got $2 million bonus for buying TW, and the BOD will probably give him another $2 million for selling TW!
HR!
Wonder why the staff of HR dosent visit COR store anymore and interview the employees on how the management are doing?! Oh thats right, we cant keep management, turnover rate out the door! We fill in with the "YES" and the "STACKERS" and the "KISS... — read more
You worry a lot about something you can’t change
Unfortunately, I doubt that we as employees can change something here. At the same time, I do not think that employees should suffer in silence, everyone has the right to express their complaints, but we should not expect that anything will change... — read more

What can HR do?
Let's just say for a moment that HR actually cared about the employees (yeah, I know, ridiculous). What could they do to improve morale when it's the c-suite that's the cause of the problem? Mismanagement, arrogance, epic failure after epic... — read more
WFH
How many people are still working from home?
What do you think about this?
Amazon just dropped 8B on The purchase of MGM. Did T make a mistake spinning off WB too early? What does Amazon know that T doesn't know? I realize T will still own 70% of WB, but I have a feeling Stankey just got hoodwinked.

Why doesn't HR try to improve morale?
HR is useless, they sit around doing nothing in an attempt to improve morale at at&t. Maybe they would not be successful but why not try? Don't they realize how bad it is? Maybe they just don't care.
Does outsourcing really reduce costs?
My organization has been outsourcing jobs for 30+ years and we are now 20/80 employees to contractors. I still have yet to see an actual cost reduction. On paper to appears the cost savings will be material but in reality the outsourcing ends up... — read more
Who should replace Stankey?
Everyone is calling for Stankey to resign (along with the BoD) but be careful what you wish for as his replacement could be worse and will probably be paid even more. Do we bring someone from the outside or promote from within? Let's see some... — read more
ATT Executives and their Zero Self Awareness of where the Company Stands
Tmobile is a liberator of wireless for the consumer. Netflix is a liberator of cable television for the consumer. AT&T destroyed Direct TV. AT&T destroyed HBO. Remember that whole Apple Advertisement where the lady tosses the sledgehammer at the... — read more
AT&T Stock Price
AT&T will not get above $32 and will settle at $25 when TW is unloaded and the new dividend takes effect. Stankey’s purchase of $1 million on stock pales in comparison to the $30 billion of market value lost!!
How much priority do you give to job search?
I have noticed that people start looking for work more actively only after rumors appear that layoffs are coming. As soon as they survive the round of cuts, they look for work much less actively. That is a probably in human psychology, I guess, but... — read more
AT&T Is All About (The) Performance
Performance takes many forms. The form of key performance indicators (KPIs) all too familiar at T as the tools used to reduce workforce management to a commodity measured in resources. Performance can also take the form of an art through theater or... — read more

Why do employees continue to whine about how bad AT&T is?
Sure, this place is a Shiite-Show, but why do y’all care? Take the money, use the benefits, and prepare for when they can you, or when the place goes belly-up. Isn’t it time to accept the realities of working here?
Is corporate doing anything?
So many people are leaving due to being overworked and burned out and nobody seems to care. Our turnover rate is getting higher and higher and I don't see any measures being taken to slow it down. If we had appropriate replacements I wouldn't mind... — read more
ERG’s and being Woke
How long before these things are diminished or halted? It seems a lot of energy and labor goes into these efforts. What else is labor and cost intensive that we can’t afford?
