Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Is RTO Finally Starting to Crack?

Rumor around HQ today is that easing the 5x RTO policy is actually being discussed and could be on the horizon. If true, it would be about damn time.

The employee feedback has been clear. The commute is draining, morale is in the toilet, productivity has drastically decreased, and the policy is making AT&T less attractive to the exact talent it needs to retain.

Rumor is leadership is finally realizing that forcing everyone into an office five days a week wasn’t the brilliant strategy they thought it was.

Nothing is official, but if this actually happens, it would be a pretty big admission that 5x RTO went too far.

To everyone who gets laid off, or quitting, make sure you only put 1 word on your exist checklist interview. RTO. That is it. Dont say/leave long messages as they will intentionally leave the RTO as the reason. Make sure that counts. Hurt them where it matters, even after you're gone. Hybrid 4/1 will never happen here. That is admitting Stankey made a mistake, and the demon wont.

Absolutely. Especially with them recently deciding to build a $2 billion new headquarters. That has WFH written all over it.

@a9 that was clever the first time you said it. Now, it just makes you sound simple-minded. People that hate it and aren't mesmerized by atts money have already left. Me personally, I didn't care. Home, office. Same to me. I like coming in because it's a great place to meet women. And, lets be real, we know why you dudes like staying at home. Only fans and a roll of to is not a social life.

I won't see you because I walk to work most of the time. Sometimes I walk home if I need to drop a deuce or grab a bite though i suppose you could go home to visit your OF gf. Lol. Anyway bud. See you behind the counter at Starbucks.

WFH may not be as attractive if a dollar value is placed on it i.e. a reduction in pay. The exceptions are those high earner categories who bring in $175+ bonus money alone. There are always trade offs. Seriously doubt if ATT wouldn't slice your piece of the pie for the WFH benefit.

@as "Stanley and his ego, will never, ever, admit that he did something wrong"

You're right, so Stank will have spin the change in policy, assuming there is a repeal in RTO. The spin will be fun to watch.

There are companies now that are giving employees an option to WFH at a 20% decrease in pay, rather than coming into an office.
That could work for some demographics.

Stanley and his ego, will never, ever, admit that he did something wrong or made a bad decision, Never. He doesn’t want to show weakness. Bullies never want to show weakness and never apologize.

Despite how much sense it would make, this isn’t happening as long as Stankey has any say in anything and as long as any of his minions have any say.

The only “mistake” he has admitted to was not massacring the culture here sooner than he did. He’s made the RTO stupidity a part of his “brand” whenever he speaks.

He won’t even admit Warner was a disaster. You can hear rumors all you want. This isn’t changing.

Always remember: They. Don’t. Care.

We hope you’re right. Don’t mind the union trolls. Back to the truck and harness up!

Probably won’t happen until Stank is gone or 80k employees. Whichever comes first.

Standing around the kitchen and saying hey I wonder if they’ll ever let us work from home again does qualify as rumoring but consider the source. You’re a mo--n.

@a4 I agree. And those of us who were not should not be. Unfortunately for you, that makes up the majority.

People were working 5 days before Covid. If you were in the office before covid, you should be there after.

As long as the Stankinator is at the helm, there will be no change. Trying to reason or rationalize with that egomaniac narcissist is an impossible task. The brave person who may be the messenger, will find themselves out of a job right quick.

I don’t believe it but I’d suspect if they did it would be a 4/1 hybrid with discretion to organizational leaders based upon “needs of the business “
