#email

E-mail came today to I assume everyone on the old pension. It seems like they are trying to get longtime employees (who would have large severance packages) to quit. It might work.

There will be many leadership “retiring” announcements over the next 48 hours. Many of those emails are shocking as people have no idea in their orgs. You shouldn’t be fooled as this is an attempt to make you believe that the leadership is suffering like the regular rank and file. Leadership’s numbers pale to what will happen on Thursday. They will all get at least a year of pay and a year of medical while real workers will only get a max of 35 weeks.
Which day will they tell us about the 5 days a week RTO? It is too sinister not to announce to drive the nail deeper in our hearts.

Layoffs starting now

Have you looked at the 401K investment changes on the email from Monday? Seems like they are narrowing down our choices. And it’s odd that there is a Schwab IRA option. Aren’t they a competitor?!

All,
Please reserve this time for our last senior leadership meeting of 2025. We’ll discuss performance acceleration and Reimagining Work, as well as any questions/topics you raise.

Following up to Melvin’s email about SNAP benefits being held and people not being able to put food on the table. He has decided to give each employee a Turkey for Thanksgiving. He thought, what would Jesus do? And it was clear this was the answer. God bless us all and God bless Melvin’s generosity.

Tomorrow layoff, check your emails in morning. All the best

What do you think about the email?

what does this mean?

Has anyone received an email asking to put self assessment for year end 10/29 night arround 11:40pm and then got recalled 10/30? Is it a hint for something?

So we got all our severance agreement emails. But a friend got a strange attachment sent along with theirs. It’s a list of job titles, ages, and two other columns saying “selected for layoff” and “not selected for layoff”. It has no names or location. So for example it says “Med Asst Lead” and then an age next to it (ex: 25) and then an x under the “selected” or “not selected” for layoff column… It looks like it was an accident and shouldn’t have been sent to them. But I find it very strange that they included the age but no name or location

If you were one of the people that did download the list, I received an email from Cybersecurity letting me know I broke policy by accessing sensitive information. They only asked to respond back to confirm any copies have been deleted, and if you distributed the list, to let them know where you shared it. My director was CCd on the email, but they didn’t think it was a big deal and moved on. There will only be action taken if you don’t respond to the email.

That’s how it’s always been - the notices go out the day of the layoffs.

The EVP sent out an email stating that the notifications have been delivered. So if you did not hear anything, you are safe!

Email from DE at 6:30 AM ET
Follow-up email at 11:30 AM ET
Layoffs commence after 11:30 AM ET email. Expect a call if impacted
Out by Friday

Myself and a few other colleagues have received the “important business update” email this morning. Good luck folks, going to be a bumpy ride..

Got the layoff email from Melissa - 9am ct today.

No email or meeting request for me. When will we start hearing?

I work in the West Coast and I need to know if I need to wake up at 6am or 5am

I understand we should not have personal documents on work laptop but if you have them, how are you transferring them? Is email the best way to go

just curious .. the HR post says Wednesday but my boss seems to think it's Tuesday We are WFH all week .. encouraged to WFH
anyone else ...
also email or manager zoom ?

Work from anywhere reduced from 80 hours to 64 hours for next year. No more additional days purchased vacations. If i don't laugh, I'll cry..

someone plz tell me i read that email wrong

Seems like the mails went out at 4 pm!

Is it an email, phone call, something else? I'm guessing since we're working from home, it's not a meeting, unless they call you in, which seems a bit too cruel even for this place. I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but I'm new here and new to layoffs in general.

Does anyone know if we will we receive any layoff email at midnight or later in the morning on Tuesday?

The job cuts affect 70 employees. The decision, announced by Interim President Jaimie Hebert, aims to address a $25 million budget gap.

Hebert sent an email to faculty and staff about the layoffs, stating that the cuts will affect all divisions of the university.

I got the email today at 4:41pm from my VP to work remote and that my building access has been restricted. With the subject line “ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE” bs. Also I’m in EOT division. Never thought they would let an associate II level go instead of a higher role. I’m pretty numb right now. I never experience a layoff before. Anyone else got axed?

Having a hard time swallowing this. Honeywell actually is planning to pick up the tab for medical insurance premiums to the tune of 40%.

It reads as if the decision was taken to voluntarily give employees money. Someone please find the cash. It seems too good to be true!

Anyone? Email today? Tomorrow? What do you think?

I got flagged. Anyone else?

The report is based on Aug data. I leave office around lunch time to avoid traffic and to take meetings in the afternoon at home.

Any of y’all that got canned because of location strategy, like me, get an email from a recruiter in the Redeployment Services group? Never heard of them and have no idea what they are wanting from me. Anyone have any experience with that group? Thanks

Anyone know?

1) Does the 8 hours count working with offshore at night? If no, I'll ignore them till next morning

2) Does putting in extra hours on weekends help?

3) Is 5-6 hours + 2-3 hours office + home acceptable? Bridgets email does indicate so.

Naga just send out email

Has anyone heard anything new since RM’s most recent email announcement? Someone posted the decision timeline (the staff council summary) in the comments section for that announcement. I thought it said something like EVP communications were supposed to come out end of September/beginning October. Haven’t seen one from our EVP but maybe others? I realize I’m being anxious, tough not to be…

Great, now more corporate speak from Zamora.
With the usual line, "Our people are our biggest competitive advantage."

Ha, her emails are as bad and cringey as her speeches...complete nonsense.

Just so everyone knows, Jenn R is taking action! She wants you all to know that she appreciates the honest feedback and the immediate actions she is going to take to alleviate the issues from the survey responses are:

1) Encourage all employees to create an individual Career Development Plan and obtain ongoing supervisor feedback

2) Encourage participation in training and development programs!

3) Increase awareness of technology and systems!

4) Host monthly small group sessions to provide feedback to leadership (so we can identify you fu----s who are talking all the sh-t)!

5) Celebrate team achievements and connect those to AT&T's purpose and the Guarantee!

6) Make sure everyone knows about their Lyra resources!!

Sounds to me like they've just unlocked the key on how to go from ranked 567 on the culture rankings to #1!! This is everything we've wanted and needed to make life better at AT&T.

These fu--ing id--ts make 7 figures and have IQ's in the 80's.

I am on vacation in Barcelona and have not seen anything in my email on the San Ramon update. I keep hearing that we are shutting that office down sooner than later but I cant confirm.

If anyone has an update, I would like to hear it. I am on a special assignment for the next 2 years and have not been given a new job or required reporting date to Houston.

Still getting emails from corporate and my manager about completing the survey. Is it Mandatory? What will be the consequences if I don’t fill it out?
