Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@vm
Huh? Sorry, just woke up and missed the topic. Left my house in the work truck and drove to the shop for the donuts and coffee the office boys bring in. Sure do like those office boys. Not worth a damn other than donuts and coffee though. Their tears and whining about coming to work is draining though. Tired now, been a busy day. Back to the shade where i parked for another nap.

Bro thinks this site is official company communication. You are absolutely qualified to work here. LOL

Screenshot this post and send it to your lawyer 😂😂😂😂😂

@w5 buddy, do you think this site is official company communication? This is an anonymous forum that ANYONE can write anything they want to. This is hilariously stupid on your part.

@w4 what a fuxing m0ron you are. Any post on this site has absolutely nothing to do with the company. I can tell you are low IQ and this post proves it. I pray that you save this post and try to use it in a court of law. You’ll be laughed out of the room.

Age discrimination protections under federal law generally begin at age 40. Advice to coworkers 40+:

• Document patterns, not just individual comments. Save dates, names, meetings, comments about being “too old,” “not energetic enough,” needing “fresh blood,” wanting “younger talent,” “ We’re supposed to be here to work, not recreate a nursing-home social mixer five days a week.”, etc
• Keep copies of your own employment records that you’re legally entitled to keep—performance reviews, awards, positive feedback, promotion history, job descriptions, and compensation information. Don’t take confidential company information.
• Save relevant written communications that concern your own employment and that you’re permitted to retain.
• Pay attention to who is being laid off and who is being retained. A pattern involving older employees can be important.
• Document sudden changes in treatment. For example, consistently strong reviews followed by unexplained criticism shortly before a layoff.
• Don’t sign a severance agreement immediately. Read it carefully and consider having an employment attorney review it first. Workers 40+ have special federal protections concerning waivers of age-discrimination claims.
• Write things down while they’re fresh. Dates, exact words, who was present, and what happened are much more useful than trying to reconstruct events months later.

There most certainly is ageism in this company. I see it all the time. If you’re 45 or older, screenshot this post and save it. If you’re ever laid off and believe your age played a role, you may want to show it to an employment attorney.

Demand it and don't listen to the union do nothings on this page that sit in a truck and sleep all day.

Stop crying about wfh. It isn’t changing. Go work somewhere else if you can’t adapt

Easy fix, just find another job that let you wfh. Instead wasting your time here

@a6

most people consider people at work as 'colleagues'.

Stank called them human capital. That's why he doesn't give a f@ck about them personally.

I think I am going to start doing what my peers do. Take caregiver for any reason, then it's sick days, and then I'm going to use 1/2 days and say I am going to be in the office and not.. They seem happy, and don't give a f**k about how it impacts the rest..here's to enjoying my new time off and getting paid.

OP needs take a vacation.

Too bad you are not qualified to find another job so you can work from home. It’s your fault.

100%

Me neither. No one sits within 8 rows of me. I go 99% of days without even saying ‘good morning’ to someone. Stay outta my area.

@a5 may the bird of paradise fly up your nose

Who's here to 'make friends'? And what's with the derogatory comments about 'senior social'? First of all, most people consider people at work as 'colleagues'. We're all here to do a job. Secondly, there will always be corporate policies and mandates that we disagree with. The mark of a successful human being is when one figures out how to effectively and intelligently handle issues we may not like or agree with without insults and pejorative criticisms.
If your intention was to denigrate and insult perhaps anyone age 45 + or those who're merely following policy, that is unfortunate.

😂😂😂 it really does look like a nursing home in most of the offices I’ve been to. Some of them can barely even walk from the parking garage to their desk. The desperation for social interaction keeps them going.

This is what happens when your company’s average age is 57

Yup. Too many white heads doing the depends shuffle around the office crowing at one another about nonsense instead of actually working.
