From what I’ve seen so far on this board and from what I hear it looks like ATO has been hit the hardest so far. Will that be the case after the layoffs are finished or have they just started out with ATO and will finish in other parts of the... — read more 

I started at the company years ago going into a different area of work. I liked the idea of getting out of tech spt and the money was good. The people I worked with were great and I've made lots of life long friends. Over the past 10yrs I've had to... — read more 

A journalist here - no coverage of the resource action yet - would someone be able to summarize what's going on. Thanks.

I wish things will be over today. But, the agony will be prolonged – pain, anxiety and anger will linger across AT&T. I am part of a ~40 people team and people are exhausted and they want to be and feel safe and have some sense of order in their... — read more

Will there be more layoffs tomorrow or will everybody be notified today? I'd like to avoid a sleepless night of worrying after spending a whole weekend like that if at all possible.

Anyone under the JVB .org get cut?

AT&T got rid of all dead wood about 10 years ago. Since then, nothing but good people let go, because the business is in a decidedly decline accelerated by huge strategic errors (T-Mobile purchase failure costing $4B, DirecTV paid way too much for... — read more

For new folks here, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread - you can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's all from me. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all...

Has anyone heard about and legacy DTV managers being laid off

Ignore anyone that boils it down to claim one specific reason. There are many factors at play. Location. Are you within 50 miles of a Collaboration Zone? If not, are you located in an area with a significant number of employees within your... — read more 

Let’s update in 30 and 60 days..

My husband had 29 years with the company. Has been a fiber and copper splicer, engineer, ran a construction crew, and has been an instructor as the subject matter expert in over 50 courses for the last 18 years. After his boss called him this morning... — read more 

Anyone hearing anything regarding impacts to Finance?

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 calculate... — read more 

What titles in birimingham?

13 years as an operations manager (central office), the last 4 without any direct reports (evenings) but with responsibility for 200+ offices. Never have I had a bad evaluation, at least 50% of them have been "exceeds" or the equivalent. 23 years... — read more 

I see that people are posting to this board that some managers were cut. What managerial levels have affected? If somebody knows what exact job titles did the laid-off managers have? Any info is valuable to me at this point.

Is anyone from flexforce impacted? Or even heard anything?

Not that I ever liked the AT&T leadership, but the manner in which these layoffs are being done is a new level of sneakiness even from them. No heads up ( other than the circulating rumors that turned out to be true) targeting the weakest in the... — read more 

The only thing these lay-offs accomplish is that Randall’s payout ratio will go from 366:1 to 500:1! The tax cuts went to stock buy backs and the $1,000 bonus last year is being recovered with headcount cuts!

Not a peep from upper management, as if it's a normal day. Which is pretty sh..tty. When can I assume I'm safe for today? Thanks

Do the bare minimum until your time is up. Don't be a schmuck and go above and beyond what's required to do a clean separation. It's just a business arrangement.and since the company no longer values your work, there's no point in valuing the... — read more 

Manager layoffs in Nashville 4 first level and 1 2nd level so far expected to be followed by layoff of peen techs in near future

The cost savings from all these layoffs won't even be enough to cover a year's worth of interest on that $300B worth of debt. AT&T is a dead man walking.

Was wondering that logic have they used to determine who stays and who goes. Maybe it’s too early to figure out what types of workers are most affected, but is anything standing out, and not just in terms of a certain department or a part of the... — read more 

The posts are very generic, please help everyone involved by listing layoffs by - STATE/TOWN/GROUP/M OR NM (management or non)/and MANAGEMENT LEVEL

10am CT my boss contacted me to a phone call. Said I'm laid off. Early out is 2/18 or I can take 60 days to find another job. My boss and AVP said if you are within 24 months of Mod Rule Of 75 you can somehow get into the Retirement. I'm shivering... — read more

After being laid off in Oct 2018, I am here to tell you, there is life after AT&T and you will land on your feet and figure out a plan. Take a few well deserved weeks to figure out what you want to do. Get in touch with a Fidelity Financial Advisor... — read more 

Who wants to bet that people over forty with 10+ years with AT&T are going to disproportionately affected by today's layoffs? That has been the case in every single layoff in the past several years and it will be the case once again. And there is... — read more 

Is this company wide or are specific departments and/or locations being targeted today?

What's going on?

OP, in the last 2-3 years it has been a morning notification (mostly starting with an email) to expect a phone call. They prefer you acknowledge the first before making the call. They will be reading from a prepared script so try not to take offense... — read more 

Good luck today on everyone that is getting paroled from the prison that is AT&T. While they like to think that they are the only employer in the country, they are not. I was paroled 10/19, and found a job in a matter of weeks. Enjoy the time you... — read more
