Repost I received a call this morning. I am affected. Out by Feb 18 or I can take 60 days to find another job. Called Fidelity and they will NOT have the lower rates until mid February. They told my co-woker the same thing. Called my advisor to... — read more 

Need the real totals for yesterday’s layoff. Please list departments, locations and titles if you have it.

I have a question as I am seeing that I don't understand how this works. Are those people with 29, 32, 34, and 40 years, whom I assume are retirement eligible, able to retire after they get this call, or is it too bad and so sorry you almost made it?... — read more 

Any cuts to retail?

A typical Fortune 100 corporation has a Price / Earnings ratio of 15 to 20. AT&T is selling for a third of that! Word has gotten out about what a poorly managed business this is. Due to incompetent leadership, this corporation is rotting from the... — read more 

And where AT&T is “hiring” … they did not state the US - things to ponder when you are reading different news articles and write ups. Seems a journalist would actually ask!! Business Insider, 01/29/2019 AT&T started laying off employees in "legacy... — read more 

As a craft of 42 years and still working....we have seen the treatment of managers for the last 15-20 years....it has been brutal!!! I can’t for one second understand the mentality of anyone ???? I mean anyone taking that job????? With OT craft made... — read more 

Anyone hearing of any voluntary offerings (like they did last summer)? I would be interested in taking advantage of the lump sum pension offering, but I am not sure if they will do it again?

Where’s President Trump defending the working class todayJ

Even though my VP in CDO said 5-6% would be cut, haven't heard of anyone being notified yesterday.

I read this today and thought it fits AT&T perfectly: Employers today are ideally looking for an employee with the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and the pay scale of a 20 year old. Emphasis on... — read more 

might be a stupid question but can we receive severance in installments to avoid extra taxes?

I'll be honest - I still can't wrap my head around who we lost. The best are gone. People we desperately needed to stay are gone. I could see shock and disbelief on some of their faces as they were notified which pretty much mirrored my own... — read more 

All cuts are only going to be with US based employees, centers in Havant, UK , Brno, Czech Republic & Singapore Call Center, all of which have been hiring new employees for going on a year plus. You got to love the corporate freed taking 20 billion... — read more 

No one is safe. It will continue on and on and on. Read the writing on the wall. Unless you are an exec you are expendable. Just a bottom line number. It does not matter how many years of faithful service given. Too many times you heard "we are about... — read more

I was not on the list this time but pretty sure my number will be up next round. What was the severance package - 6 month pay and 6 month medical benefits?

I got my walking paper today. Seems that no matter how well you do your job this one was based on seniority I was top performer in 2018 but I guess that doesn’t matter. In my group area managers and some directors got the boot.

If you think any employee is an asset, you need to take a look at which column in the balance sheet payroll is under. The basic balance sheet equation is Assets-Liabilities=Equity. Here is a hint. Payroll is not under Assets or Equity.

I am hearing that layoffs are not over and more will be tomorrow. Any truth to this? I am curious about ATO.

How many collaboration zones are there and what are the locations?

Do not believe AT&T saying that only weaker business units are being hit. We got the hit today in CA. It is horrible!!

First, my apologies to all those surplused today, I know it’s horrivle feeling like a punch in the gut. For us still hanging on, what’s next? Is it confirmed ATO specifically will have another round of this next quarter? That already planned? Will... — read more

I'm a prem tech in Monterey county CA. So far only managers got hit here in California and it seems like most of them are from the Direct TV side. April sounds like it will be a mix of managers and techs.

Can someone reassures those who were impacted today that there is life after AT&T. Where your skills transferable? did you stay in the industry? Are you happier? How long did it take to find another job and any advice?? Thanks!!

I think they purposely made this round $uck SO bad because they’re going to turn around and send out another MVO (mgmt voluntary offer) prior to the next round in April. A lot of people will probably take it this time, unless it’s a complete joke... — read more

Managers have been feeling the pain since 2014, so stop with the craft vs management BS. There are tons of managers that do not have craft reporting to them, and they are responsible for many parts of the business. It s---s for everyone, and... — read more
