Anyone with time to complain doesn't have enough work to do. How is it possible for so many employees to boast about gaming the company and their Supervisors are unaware? You don't have an employee problem. You have weak low level managers.
The attrition based on 5 days RTO mandate
Will skyrocket, and this will surely be overdone. You already don’t have enough people to keep up the work in most groups. You think people are going to be motivated to work HARDER for you to pick up the slack as headcount plummets. This is the... — read more
CSO hired all his previous cronies?

John S. You are an a*****
I’m sure this is not news, and the censors will delete this post, but it is a stark truth
For those that are tired of leadership and looking to leave
Let’s face it: the forced return-to-office (RTO) policy isn’t sitting well with most of us. For those already putting in eight hours a day, five days a week, the constant monitoring feels offensive and unnecessary. And for those who don’t need the... — read more

Relocation Assistance/Money

How long to move?
Let's say this rumor about persons not in Dallas, Redmond, Atlanta, bedminster will get a letter 1Q25 to go to one of those places or self surplus is true... How long do they give you to move?
Presence Report
Yes, it's a thing. Yes, we're being tracked. HR has an entire tech team that's working on PBI reports. I know several people in HR and it's all being driven by Stankey and Lee (who covers HR since Angela left). I've been with the company almost 15... — read more

RTO mandate is the attrition tactics
They don’t care about morale and productivity. They care about getting rid of you for free. I don’t see T leadership looking to lead over a growing, robust and sound company with quality workforce and satisfied employees. All I see that they want is... — read more

T is sinking with bad management choices
It’s sad but true—T keeps promoting inexperienced kids into management while those with years of experience and master’s degrees get overlooked all the time. Who thinks this is a good idea? All it’s doing is driving away the best employees. If this... — read more
5 Days RTO
Productivity and morale were circling, but just went down the drain. Good luck to T and company sycophants. THIS will be the straw that breaks the boomers backs.
Leadership please read
So to the corporate leadership of AT&T… I think the overwhelming majority of employees don’t have any issue with RTO. For those whose jobs really dictate they be in office and working collaborating with others five days also no issues but of course... — read more

What is the worst mistake T leadership made?
There are so many to choose from, but for me, it's got to be the disastrous acquisition of Time Warner. Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing good came out of it.
Where do you stand on automation?
Is it a way to do more and there’s plenty of work to go around, it’s the future so get on board or get run over, or do you fight it at every turn knowing the end result means you are no longer required?
