Too many years behind and overpaying for assets with a short shelf life.
This pretty much sums it up.
Anyone that visits this site should know in this day and age that we are all just a number. We are disposable in every sense of the word. Management in any company or industry has adapted to this business model as well. They are cold and ruthless and... — read more
HBO will do just fine
Even if Game of Thrones is the only draw to HBO (with which I disagree cough Westworld cough) do you really think HBO will give up on it this easily? That the last season is the last we'll see off it? I'm betting you, before the season ends, we'll... — read more

Latest ATO Rumors
What are the latest rumors for ATO? Will they be hit next Monday?
More layoffs
Will there be more layoffs this year? I want to buy a house.
How far up the chain is the ENPS really anonymous?
I mean they make you log in for it, but as far as I know 2nd level doesn't know who said what. So how far up does it go until someone knows what you said?
Collaboration Zones are Chaotic
Like a prison yard. People fighting for turf and survival every day.
Our SVP (under ATO) said not heard of any layoffs by the end of the year.
In his 1H Town Hall this week.
JVB Org
Any insight on JVB org layoffs this quarter?
How are we being tracked and monitored?
Badge swipes? VPN? What is the formula and criteria?
Will the telecommuters be in most danger when the layoff wave hits?
I’ve seen that the last time the layoffs started by bringing people that work from home to the offices and that they were the first on the chopping block. I’m a person that started working from home recently, but to be honest thinking about that... — read more
NFL network and Redzone
NFL network and Redzone channel dropped from Uverse and DTV now. Apparently AT&T and the NFL are not negotiating to bring them back. How many subscribers will cancel? We all know Uverse is on the way out. DTV now has barely any subscribers. Also with... — read more

Any new info on colaboration? I've heard the policy and those affected will know by EOM.
Was I underpaid?
I've received several job offers since I've left AT&T (not by choice - I was laid off) and the pay offered was mostly in the range of what I was receiving there. Since I'd just be starting at these companies, as opposed to being there for a while and... — read more

We don’t have a culture anymore
As a 15 year employee at AT&T, I had the opportunity to see the company in its best and in its worst days. I have to say that nothing compares to the current situation after this year's layoffs. To say that morale is at an all time low would be... — read more

Seems to be a lot more supervisor related ratings in the mix than I remember from previous years.

Nice touch that it includes foreign countries on the survey now. I don't remember it asking that in previous years? Anyone else? 🤔

Question regarding SAFe training in ATO
The push is on to take this training & pass the first time with at least a 90 (unrealistic) to folks in ATO. I have also been told if you fail you must pay for the next test & you only have 3 tries. If you fail, it is counted against you on your... — read more

The problem with DTV Now
The problem with DTV Now is that it buffers all the time depending on where you live or your network or who knows why. I've tried it and was told by family in no uncertain terms that they do not want to watch something that spins a buffering logo at... — read more

Why is T constantly restructuring?
Wouldn’t it be easier both on the leadership and on the workers if they just announced how many people they plan to realistically lay off. Better yet, why don’t they reduce the amount of heads to the number they desire and start working as a... — read more

Disney
Disney drove another nail into T’s coffin. By the time we come up with whatever BS that will be thrown together last minute will be too late and too expensive. Oh but we have Friends and the “vast” library of WB content that no one watches. Last... — read more

DTVNow could be a leader, but of course it won't happen
DTVNow could be a leader, but of course it won't happen. Budgets are minimal, projects are cancelled, and support/dev teams are being furloughed 25% of the month. The platform is hardly moving, and as a result is falling further & further behind... — read more
