Who designed and maintains that sh!tshow of a website? It doesn't work on Linux Firefox and barely works on Linux Chrome (aka Google Spyware). Also it'd be nice if the fools in this company can decide on which browser to use for all internal... — read more
BFS Standby
So BFS has no $$ for standby pay but they can still afford to pay Digital Techs to do Wire Tech work?
Read this Csuite
Trust and respect for "Leadership" at AT&T is in very short supply. They don't lead, they follow. If Amazon does it, it must be good. Well, AT&T isn't Amazon and Stankey isn't Jassy. But worse, the Csuite antics from the deals of the century (the... — read more
Nissan slashes 9,000 jobs globally; CEO to cut pay in half
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2024/11/07/nissan-cutting-jobs-globally-us/76111896007/ shall we set a ratio for Stanky based on how many layoffs he's slashed
My mgmt is too demanding
I’m expected to work overtime, and sometimes on days off, just to meet quota. Quota mgmt came up with. Which is also impossible to meet in regular hours with all the people already gone from the team. All of this could be avoided if management were... — read more
If you’re leaving be sure to drop us a commment

I'm done. Effective immediately.
I have this email scheduled to send tomorrow morning at 6am and leaving my badge and laptop with security when I leave today with instructions on which team member to get it to. Dear ***, I’m done. Effective immediately, I am resigning from my... — read more
Just a guess about Level 3+ ratio
I know lots of layoffs and changes but my guess based on observation is the ratio between levels 3+ and 1&2 has actually increased - just not nearly enough attrition at the L3+. What say you? Am I correct or not.
Susan Johnson org
They're asking leaders to begin planning for RTO and communicate real estate needs. Target date is Jan 1st week 2025. Going to be a disaster.
I’m Resigning tomorrow, have no plans for work, any advice helps.
40 years old, was a Representative at a Corporate store, actually 3 stores for 10 years, this is my 2nd year at the Call Center with AT&T. I’m tired of it & sales/goals/micromanagement. The good news is I paid off all my debt a year ago, my 2018... — read more
I’ll use RTO to find another job
I know that for many of us RTO is near impossible to comply with. In my case it’s not that bad, but it still makes no sense. Personal costs will significantly go up, efficiency and productivity will tank. But given that complying with RTO also means... — read more
GM Surplus
Its interesting that there is a GM surplus (level 3 and above) and we are still hiring Directors with no direct reports. Perfect example was in the coroorate social responsibility org a few days ago. Multiple directors with no employees. These... — read more
RTO - a distant memory
I wonder if we will look back on RTO someday and laugh about, “Remember that time when we had to go back in to the office?” “Oh yeah - and we didn’t have enough desks! We had to sit on the floor with dead roaches!” “And that person who had to move... — read more
RTO/Surplus Hose Job
I thankfully got my surplus package earlier this year after refusing to move to ATL. Retirement supplement package thanks to AT&T --- I was going to retire in 2024 anyway! So happy I'm out, but feeling for a number of friends that will be impacted by... — read more
How do cuts (large one) impact the communities in which att operates?
what's the community impact? we do not discuss this but i think impacts are huge... what's your take???
Stank Douche
Imagine being so thin-skinned you need to combat negative comments about yourself, your management style or the company you ruined. Be a man Stank. Take criticism and move on. You put your pants on like the rest of us. What a putz man.
That time I quit my job and wasn't able to find work for 2 years
I should have kept my mouth shut and performed the job I was supposed to do. I was foolish to listen to all those clowns talking about quitting. It was mob hysteria, and I had to show I was man enough to walk. Nobody else did. Go figure. I don't work... — read more
Wouldn't it be great if they all left?
I hope the first surplus in 2025 focuses on the people who simply don't want to be here. The work environment was professional in years past. I think the majority are tired of the endless whining, complaining, and immaturity.
Everyone is leaving
I’m hearing of a mass exodus. So many people contacting me about people leaving the business bc of 5 days RTO. What are you hearing? If there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s that they have no idea what they just did. The results will be... — read more
36 months ago
On my own, I punched out three years ago today. So glad I did. I’m sure it added years to my shelf life and time to spend with my grandchildren. If I can offer you any advice at all. There is life after T, take the Lump Sum, manage your own portfolio... — read more
Remember all those L3/L4s who got RTO city reassignments?
Make sure you tell them bye while you can. They aren't making it through Thanksgiving if they declined the move. More accurately, probably won't make it past Veteran's Day. Godspeed.

Hoping to be let go before the year's end
They have somehow been managing to overlook me. I just want to take my severance and be gone.
NJ Class of Dec 13
With the 5 day RTO, really feeling like a bullet dodged right now.
RTO and 8 Hrs - Non Exempt
Exempt employees generally receive a salary that provides flexibility in their schedules, often working 50 to 60 hours per week, all covered under their base pay. With the recent Return to Office (RTO) transition and leadership monitoring an 8-hour... — read more

What are your thoughts about potential AT&T layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
RTO 5 days/week starting 1/1/2025
Just received an announcement regarding RTO 5 days/week effective 1/1/2025. Choy org. I think it applies to entire org but curious about anyone else?
Who are all of these trolls?
There’s just far too many of them who come here to defend the indefensible. Either Stankey truly is paying these people to defend him, or we have a lot a holes with nothing better to do.
4, 5, or 8 hours?
whats the RTO look like? I know L3+ are 8 hours but what about L2 and below?
Is anyone else feeling the heat?
Burnout is real, and it’s hitting hard with the endless workload and stress. It doesn't help that we're having layoffs all the time and never backfilling any of the positions, so instead of getting better, things keep getting worse. It's getting... — read more
Lets Talk About RTO
Lets Talk About RTO. On second thought, let us once again talk about the buffoonery of the mindless drone leadership that are following blindly. Here is what is really happening. Fortune 100s are telling the followers (the Fortune 200-500s) that... — read more
Re-Tire
I think I'll retire from T and be a retiree at a local tire shop removing used tires from cars and trucks and putting new tires on.
Is CarePlus a scam for all employees except executives?
Serious question - serious replies only! It is cheap in order to incentivize signup and it is offered to all employees, and it is separate from regular health insurance. It is mostly or all self funded (I believe) so the company has a very high... — read more

So many people retiring
As Cardi B once said - that’s suspicious. What are your thoughts?
Thank You John
John gets a lot of hate on this board that is unwarranted. He has been making the necessary hard choices to streamline costs and headcount. Thank you, John!
Warning
If you cut my organization further, the result will be a million dollar fines from the FCC. Doubt me? The FCC and FirstNet Authority have had enough with this sh-t show of a company. Keep playing games, and see what happens. They’ll have you back... — read more
Change needed with CS&O Leaders
