For those that have received a voluntary offer, how much time have you been given to accept the offer?

My Guess was almost right +1 #2 of the 100 Most Hated Companies in USA https://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/politics/most-hated-companies.htm

The call three days ago left me more confused if I am staying or going. AT&T has been good to many people for years! They pay their managers well and you know that. The hardest part is finding a job that will match your current pay. It... — read more 

I will never understand why CWA would go along with this obviously blatant strategy to get employees to "leave the business." I don't know of anyone in any other company who can be let go in "surplus" status because they refuse to accept a "job... — read more 

This is what all the automation and layoffs will do. Bill the deacist. Randy and stankey’s accounting 101. Must be in the accounting nano degree. http://www.hideoutnow.com/2019/10/bay-area-woman-dies-at-102-directv.html?m=1

It seems to me the bigger the institutions, the bigger they have fallen down on the job of carrying on the legacy of leaders like AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenson, and others, and so whatever little light AT&T can shine to help restore hope in careers... — read more

Any new information? I’ve heard that the initial TFS reorg is mostly mgt. The crew surps & combo crews happen 1st quarter. Not a lot of info on DEG

Previous posts mentioned Oct 3rd as a bloodbath? Will it be??? Is it?? Where?

Time Warner will be disaster #3 in less than 10 years. Imagine the new media companies being incubated right now with all the media and content talent that is gone or running for the exit.

I’m curious if the Nanodegree program really did any help for anyone in the company. I had a supervisor tell me that it was necessary for movement going forward and that the company was going to use it to see who wanted to stay and who wanted to get... — read more

The company has been purging employees for years yet every quarter people are so surprised. All I heard today was “should I be worried”. Yes we all should be worried and taking steps necessary to be financially stable when we are let go. If you have... — read more

Layoffs, reductions, outsourcing to third-party companies, constant restructuring….. All of that for what? Did any of these changes have any positive effects on the company? Did the leadership manage, with these changes, to reduce the company's debt... — read more 

Big swath of T received "management voluntary offer" this morning. Last week, many retirements of senior leadership announced and management reorg; two days later, some groups still don't what their new reporting chain is. No info yet on what kind... — read more 

Lots of emails today on restructuring. Has anyone heard of surplus along with the changes?

Still on the table or are they figuring out how to get around that and just show you the door?

Just received notice that we (AT&T Business-Global Operations and Services) will be getting an offer this afternoon for voluntary separation. And......we all know, that if there aren't enough takers, then the involuntary separations begin. Probably... — read more

Just wondering if theys any inside tech jobs that can't be outsourced? We responsible for running tests on lines from our computer, and routing tickets to other departments.

How low would our share price have to go for the current leadership to be held accountable? And I know it is going up right now, but I think we all know it's only a matter of time before it continues its downward trajectory once again. Nothing... — read more

Transferring to El Segundo from Dallas or Atlanta? The costs in California is the first concern.

Midwest DEG moving to TFS in November...no details yet!

I heard several moves up the ladder in National Business. When will it trickle down to us level 1 and 2 sellers? Expect any changes or since we bring in revenue, we are safe? We have a lot of sellers here in California.

It Cuts the cost temporarily, we all know that, but can outsourcing in these quantities really be functional in the long run? I really don’t see any way that it could be sustainable. Also, is there a possibility that a company like AT&T could want to... — read more
