I watched president Trump deliver a fiery message about the fake media in Duluth Minnesota last night. After he mentions the media, the crowd started chanting "CNN s---s, CNN s---s".... So, when do the layoffs begin at CNN? The lowest ratings for... — read more 

Who has the inside scoop???

Fact - it takes longer to do simple tasks, that it cannot handle. It routes you through same cycle over and over again getting nothing accomplished. Fact - one has less functions to help customers, which just results in more calls into cust care. RC1... — read more

This is what I have noticed lately. The customer calls in to complain about the last rep, either they changed a plan and left the old one in place too, or they promised if the cust made a payment they could get more time on an arrangement... — read more 

Anybody feels like AT&T is being destroyed by a bunch of millennials with no experience and very little knowledge? I'm not saying they are all the same, but this seems to be the demographic that is taking over the company, and I don't see it working... — read more 

In-Home Experts are being moved to 1B position level. Sales Support Leads will remains 1A since they’re hourly and Managers will remain level 2. I wonder what the 1B pay scale will look like.

So now CEO is announcing more acquisitions before the ink on the Time Warner deal is even dry. I guess the tax break really did come in handy. Not for us, but for AT&T certainly. I feel sorry for both us and the people working at companies being eyed... — read more 

Been hearing there maybe a VTP offer still coming. The quarterly dates are for surplus announcements, usually accompanied with a VTP. They could still offer a VTP anytime. Any others hearing this?

I have been laid off several times. I know dozens of people who were laid off. Majority of us ended up at better positions than the ones we left. I know it might seem really bad right now, but keep that in mind. For some, this might turn out to be a... — read more 

The more headlines I see about the merger, the more it becomes obvious how bad this is going to be not just for Time Warner but for AT&T employees as well. AT&T has major plans for Time, and to get there it'll need money. Guess where that money will... — read more

VTP is a voluntary termination package. No surplus means the next date is 9/14/18 for any possible surplus in Leg T. Today there was a VTP only annoucement. There is no Surplus attached to this. The total is for 34 people nationwide. Oakton VA... — read more 

I strongly urge all employee's to reject the settlement and opt out in order to pursue new class action

I am in finance/collections, we did not lose any more managers. Hoping the same for next layoff. good luck everyone.

It looks like streaming will come at a cost of more jobs. And I think believing that only post-merger, newly redundant position will pay the price is naive. This is an ideal opportunity for AT&T to get rid of whomever they want while blaming the... — read more 

Up to 6 month voluntary surplus package for management is a JOKE. Only if you were going to retire in the next 6 months is it worth it.

Here we go again! AT&T received the tax cut at the beginning of the year in excess of 20 billion. They gave 1k in bonuses to their 200k employees then announced layoffs immediately after with the last day of employment being 7/11/18. The Time Warner... — read more
