Vision 2020 is upon us. I, along with many others are on the surplus list. Don’t expect what you don’t expect, just prepare for anything.

Any word on how bad it’s going to be in the southeast? Any specific area? Dtv or legacy ip wiretechs? Just wondering thanks

Instead of firing John Stankey, they promoted his incompetence! what a shame. He ruined the company. He was behind the disastrous acquisition of DTV that is sinking AT&T.

What’s the “word on the street” are there going to be new reorgs by the end of the year? More changes will probably happen sooner or later, but could they be scheduled for the last months of 2019, so that the company arrives in the new year with a... — read more 

I commented in a previous post regarding Donovan and said it’d be McElfresh. Well the email just came out. Now, now replaces him?

In about 3 weeks 911 people are supposed to be off payroll, but the entire company and CWA has went silent. Wonder what’s brewing

Will there be another one? Are the D3 folks still continuing their fight, or is this whole thing going to be forgotten real soon?

Sure don't automate, let the competition do that. Let China worry about automation and we can continue with our 40hr jobs. Wrong! Automation is highly connected to technology. Just look in your house how many gadgets you have automating your... — read more 

Is it out yet ? I want to read how badly D4 screwed us this time.

I'm deciding whether I should accept an offer to join AT&T as a CSS, but after going through Glassdoor and this page I'm starting to lean heavily towards the "stay away" option. From what I gathered from all these posts, there are constant RIFs... — read more 

Rather than be angry, find the positive of the situation. You’re on Time and a Half all day today. You’ll be on Double Time by Thursday. That’s a good thing right? Be Safe today.

If the 2020 plan is to eliminate so many more jobs, why is AT&T ok with a 5 year contract for the district 3 union workers?

https://www.unionfacts.com/employees/Communications_Workers_of_America Your union dues at work. Keep paying them, those $200k-$500k salaries depend on it.

Class action suits are starting to pile up. All of sudden they change DTV Now to AT&T TV Now . Then they announce they will stop compensating AR's for AT&T TV Now activations. Something tells me he's leaving before the Sh–s the fan. Golden... — read more

Take the stupid "boy band" commercial out of rotation. It's a bad commercial and it's on all the time. I actually hate the company more because of it . Pull it, burn it, fire the people who made it.

Seems like trolls have gotten hold of this page. No longer about layoffs, managers vs union members, frustrated union members vs union officials, while the people who are about to get LAID OFF probably have to work this weekend. Enjoy your family... — read more 

Anyone else experiencing this since coming back? Seems like they are being told to write you up and Udoc anything to get you out the door now.

Who got the better contract?

We do the most work (copper,fiber,dtv) installs and repairs and get paid the least. I guess some things never will change.

Has anybody in District 3 gotten a surplus call yet? To let you know that you have been bumped?

To start, I’m a manager in this company. I know a lot of what I say may be taken with a grain of salt because there’s a broken idea of “Union vs Management” but I figured I would be honest to avoid the “This must be a manager” or “Here’s Randy”... — read more 

Anyone hearing rumors of Another strike after the holiday??

Somebody else mentioned this in another thread and I was wondering if other people felt the same way? Because I'm certainly starting to...

We are losing people like crazy... Is it the same everywhere?

I guess this was debated on multiple threads, but I see there is no thread about the experiences of the folks that were on strike. How was it coming back to work? What reactions did the managers have? Did anybody face harsh treatment yet?

How is it legal that AT&T forces us to buy worthless company stock for its 401k match instead of cash? Sorry but I don’t want stock in a nearly bankrupt company whose stock has gone down every year for eons. I know I can go sell it each time but who... — read more
