After careful consideration, extensive feedback, and realizing that nobody actually wants to commute five days a week, we’re pleased to announce that AT&T has decided to stop pretending 5x RTO makes any sense.
Effective immediately:
- Badge swipes are no longer a measure of productivity.
- Your commute is no longer considered part of your workday.
- Managers may once again manage people based on results.
- Teams may work remotely when the work can be done remotely.
- “Presence” reports will be repurposed for something useful.
- And most importantly, you are no longer required to sit in a building for eight hours to prove you have a job.
Thank you for your patience while we spent several billion dollars and a couple years figuring out what everyone already knew.
The way we work has changed. We should probably change with it.
