Why doesn't the company offer a, VSIPP (Legacy "S") & VTP (Legacy "T") , as they did with the managers.? And then re-balance the garages.

Aside from directv, which I get it, they don't show up for those installs because they have to work - that much I understand, I don't wanna take away from their time playing angry birds But no, really, Why do they not show up for uverse installs ? We... — read more

I replied, in an earlier post, “The Age Ceiling is a very real, silent, invisible ceiling.” Invisible because any hiring manager, with half a wit, can read a résumé and determine your approx. age by your job experience....they won’t and, by law... — read more 

Good luck streaming re runs of Friends. Now wait for Disney. AT&T- a slow moving dinosaur.

Just curious what CWA 3 SE employees are seeing/hearing so far. Leaked screenshot says 240 wire techs expected to be surplused in this area.

Is it just me, or has age become a liability at AT&T?

I got an offer from a startup - good job that fits my interest perfectly with good pay - but I'm still hesitant to accept it because it's a startup. As bad as AT&T is with layoffs, at least I know it will still be standing ten years from now, which I... — read more

Wire techs to get shafted and moving FT’s over to cut down on dispatches.

For those management employees that were surplussed, how long did it take for them to remove the concessions and go back to paying retail pricing? Was it in the first month, two?

To tell you the truth I’m not familiar with any technicalities regarding the specifics of the acquisition deal so forgive me if this is a question that most of zou know the answer to. Did AT&T make a promise to keep the worker headcount at Warner... — read more 

They've said they want the content producing parts of Warner to get bigger, to go head-to-head with firms like Netflix. Only place I see any cutbacks is areas like payroll and HR, where there would be duplication with the parent company. And many of... — read more

Randall has been in hiding all this time and comes up with that? yikes

If the big wigs at at&t new of their senior technical process managers were doing working from home , they would all be surprised. The ones I know only work 4-5 hours a day , the rest of the time there shopping and watching tv.

So many at my yard and my fellow brothers at other yards mention that 3/15/19 will be the day for a surplus for P/W techs to be announced. Anyone know the validity of this. We have one L1 at our yard saying yes and the other saying it's just rumors.
