I’m a FT in central GA. Can I bump a OPT guy if I have other FT guys I can bump first here in town.

Looks like we finally have media press on the recent plans for layoffs. https://oklahoman.com/article/5634251/union-criticizes-att-cuts-totaling-1800-jobs-across-us?access=330c2194fbe1fc610981486ce3779439

IBEW 21 visited the garage today ....with ZERO information!!! No numbers on garages that will be affected..nothing on the ..headcount at each garage that may be surplus....ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! BLANK STARES....AWKWARD SILENCE. Can’t wait for the cuts... — read more 

Executives, Senior VPs.......Crickets.

Can they offer us any job in the national transfer system? Retail jobs?

Anyone cares to share guidance or experience?

Seems like a limit of us got hit with less than 1 year to full pension. Has anyone contacted a lawyer about this. Pension, not benefits

So how many garages are planning to participate in the walk out next week to disrupt the company’s end of quarter onslaught of work? Prem techs have nothing to lose now so we are on board here.

As usual no comment from the big dogs as this surplus takes place! Get them clowns out of here! Now

How does prem tech bumping work in D6?

Is there anybody here who can identify anything positive to come out of all the changes that have been implemented in the past year? Anything that you could point to and say, yes this is much better and it's made us a better organization than we were... — read more 

When are the "core" guys and gals going to realize that the company is going to surplus you into the prem position until there is no more core, or try and get you to volunteer to retire. By the end of 2019 we are going to have complete single... — read more 

Just spent a billion dollars for more of it. Anyone remember when we thought more capacity was a good thing?

It would be misleading to refer to this as "layoffs." Most affected CWA-represented employees, including affected employees in the Midwest and Southwest, have a job-offer guarantee that ensures they'll be offered another job with the company—only... — read more 

Like ATT I'm also trying to build up my 5Ge network but I can't find any good documentation for the 5Ge standard. Is it because I'm searching on my iPhone using Sprint's 5G network?

Anyone have success on ignite day or should I consider my job safe at COR?

With regard to management layoffs...there has been lots of chatter and speculation about how the severance plan will eventually be cut (currently tops out at 6 months depending on years of service). It's becoming clearer what the new direction is. In... — read more

So, the news "on the street" is that AT&T has "good cash flow" and "always pays a dividend". Okay. If you want to believe it. Do this for me, though. Look through the publicly posted financials. Back out the debt. Go drop some numbers into a... — read more

Retail is obviously dead but when do the store shut downs happen? Seen a lot of ar stores within walking distance of each other pop up in san diego. But no word of anyone even in management being let go. Word is business as usual

I owe you a big thanks and a case of the finest beer. I used that time to do some extensive job searching to prepare for Friday’s news. Out of all this BS, I was actually able to find a better job and avoid dealing with all of this surplus c-ap that... — read more

With D4 still without a contract and D3 ending in a couple months, banding together and joining forces seems logical. An immediate strike would shut down both the midwest & the southeast and be detrimental to the company. Of course, this is providing... — read more

The number of layoffs this week alone are all the proof you need of what is looming. Massive subscriber losses and piss poor mergers and acquisitions are taking their toll. Bankruptcy is coming and will be Randy's legacy.

Can anyone explain how bumping works in the southeast , district 3? And does it matter if the surplus is “economical” vs “technological “ ? Also, where does it end. Can a tech who’s been bumped then go bump someone else ?

I tried to give my family a heads up about the surplus event on Friday. That if they heard anything on the news, this is what is going on. But there was no news event. How does At&t keep this layoff out of the news headlines?

When does the manager surplus start? precisely sr sourcing managers.

As a Communications technician in Missouri, I’ve witnessed countless surplus’s and layoffs in my 38 years being at risk many times myself but fortunate enough not to fall victim. Having said that the biggest threat to all of us is and has always been... — read more
