Praying for a way out
I've been here a few years now and I've lost count of how many times I've been thrown under the bus for stuff I didn't do. My manager just shrugs and tells me that's how it works, which is just infuriating at this point. Can't wait to leave T and... — read more

I Miss AT&T Already
I can’t believe it’s really over. I would gladly work In the office full time again if it meant I could keep my job. AT&T was such a big part of my life. I feel so lost.
New AVP and Layoffs?
Just found out that a Director who is known for being a bully to her team, not a good leader and hard to work with was just promoted to an AVP. They are promoting the wrong people while laying off the ones who actually care and are servant leaders to... — read more
Lots of chat recently
but what is your guess as to the actual number of management employees gone and what percent L1&2 vs. L3&L4? Real information or solid estimates only please. If an enformed rumor from trusted individual thats OK.
Stock price decline versus layoffs
AT&T's stock price has decreased more than 29% in the past year. Will this force more layoffs? How can investors not know how badly managed AT&T is?
For those who relocated
What was your motivation to do so? I am feeling overwhelmed and under confident and just thinking all is going to he-l with this move as I dread that 2 hour commute

Are you in the top or the bottom 20%?

Manager vs Union
It is rather interesting, almost funny, that when we're surplussed, union workers actually get more than managers. The termination pay for union workers is more than severance pay for managers and the ongoing medical, dental and vision benefits are... — read more

AT&T Stock at 52 week Low
Congrats to T Leadership for tanking AT&T Stock to new 52 week low — looks like all the layoffs, corporate real estate selloffs and cost cutting is paying off. Only T executives could get paid millions for running the company into the ground.

STOCK
SOS, AT&T bottoming out…
How does Stankey have a job?
The stock is completely fu---d, which is his only job. How is this guy still employed? It’s absurd that he thinks he has any respect from any employees.
Convince me AT&T's CEO is not trying to destroy the company with layoffs
..price increases, a new 52 week low stock price every day, sowing distrust among the employees, lack of leadership in the top 3 tiers, running the CFO off, sc--wing up the Firstnet. Did I miss anything? Is it even possible to perform more poorly?
I wonder if Stank fancies himself to be Wi--y Wonka
Where we get to January 2027 and John hosts a Townhall where he exclaims to the small crowd of Simple Jeff Oompa Loompas... "You've won! You did it! You did it! I knew you would! I just knew you would! Oh, forgive me for putting you through this... — read more

Network Supremacy via Convergence + Satellite Hybrid

Market Based No Loyalty Clown Show
The 8/1/25 email may end up being remembered as one of the most damaging leadership communications in AT&T’s history. Maybe even corporate world history. Not because of one quote, but because of the mindset behind it. Employees said morale was... — read more

AT&T (T) CFO Announces Retirement
This is NEVER a good sign for a company that is doing as poorly as T. Look at the history of what happens after a CFO leaves a burning building. Getting bounced right now so you can quickly liquidate you pension would be a blessing.

Stock 52-week low
I see RTO and market based culture really paid off. On track for back below $20. Guess Wall-Street isn’t responding as positively to endless layoffs and treating employees like sh-t as they were before. 🤡
