Which means there is no positive outlook on the future here. Just more of the same old cr-p.
What’s wrong with the culture?
Stankey and others keep saying it’s lack of young talent. Do you think the current actions of the company are attracting young talent or running it away? Do you think young people are being retained by recent actions? I graduated TDP 2 years ago and... — read more
2024 Employee Survey
I wonder when the Employee Survey will come out?
The VP Report
Does anyone know what the report had that John S got? For instance, does anyone know the results like what percentage of employees worked under 4 hours in office?
Thanks Coffee Badgers
I hope the coffee badgers and the 10-2 people are happy- they've managed to get us all moved back to 8 hour office 5 days. I am very bitter that instead of managing the people that took advantage all of us are being punished. On my three days, i am... — read more
St. Louis
While ATT continues it exit from St Louis will they please take their downtown eyesore with them? Use the building as signage into Busch Stadium to advertise that ATT is not a good corporate citizen.
Hidden benefit of 5 days in office.
All of the people in my org who were working to automate our jobs are being affected. These people were the special 10% given permission to work from home because they weren’t near a hub like the rest of us. Now they don’t want to report 5 days a... — read more

RTO 1/1/25 and 8 hours in office
Regarding this comment in other thread. “ They have implemented new software to track connected hours, hours connected in the office vs hours connected outside the office, etc.” Does anyone know what they are using to track this? Is this what all... — read more

Relocating to a Hub
I've been at a designated hub location for almost 7 years and was not directly impacted. I know I would leave if told to relocate even if my relocation expense was covered by the company. There would still be too much uncertainty. Are there a... — read more
AT&T Employees failing to report to assigned location
Should AT&T employees refusing to report to their assigned work location receive severance pay, or instead be terminated outright with loss of all benefits?
Retail store
I am an employee of this company working on the landline side of the company. Recently I was in a Retail Store with my wife upgrading my iPhone. The sales rep was awesome in her job for sure. So after deciding our devices etc she stated she would be... — read more
So if I live in Waycross, GA and my “office” is in Atlanta almost 4 hours away one way, what would the RTO suggest I do?
I would like real answers from already affected people, not just guesses or opinions.

Empty Office Fridays - Ending Soon
Very few employees are in my hub office this afterboon. It is like this every week. Mondays and Fridays are going to look very different next year.
More rumors about downsizing to 60 000 or less
If this is true, then it’s definitely time to look for other opportunities. I mean, if you haven’t started already. Not that the target number is shocking or anything. It’s all about dividends and bonuses for as long as there’s party. What will... — read more

Question about PTO when resigning
For management, is your remaining PTO for the year paid out or is it lost?
OH YEAH
Atlas roll out in the WEST. How bad is it?
FTO vs. NFTO
Anyone know what the difference is between an NFTO and FTO indicator? I've only seen this on moose calendars but I just know mine has changed. Curious if there is a list of what all the indicators mean somewhere.
Thank You RTO
Laptop and Emails closing down early and not opening back up until Monday Morning. What a feeling it is to not care about this place or the tool sheds that run it. I have deadlines to be sure, but this guy right here will not be working on MY... — read more
The angst is unnecessary
I've been doing 5 days in the office for about 10 months. These 5 days were not mandated, and I do take advantage of WFH when I need to. I wasn't thrilled with returning, but for me it wasn't a huge deal. I live roughly 5 minutes away from my office... — read more
I'm more worried about layoffs
Do I want to RTO? He-l no. But between that and being laid off, sadly, I'd take RTO. I am happy for those of you who can afford to lose your job over this. I'm glad you have an option of not complying and risking it all. I don't have that option. So... — read more
RTO = attrition
As simple as that. Its only purpose will be to chase away as many people as they can without cashing out. I intend to comply. I will sit in some corner of some dirty office and use the dirty keyboard, being half as productive due to noise and limited... — read more
RTO 5 days 1/1/2025
I've heard from multiple people that we are going to be forced back to the office 5 days/week starting 1/1. My biggest question is: why? I haven't seen a single productivity metric from the C-Suite. I thought they'd already hit their goal of layoffs... — read more
For those tired of leadership and looking to leave
I think it's safe to say that many people here are unhappy with AT&T and would jump at the chance to leave if they could maintain (or even improve) their compensation. This post is for the people who genuinely want to put in the effort to make that... — read more
SSP
Wondering why we haven’t heard anything on the SSP??
Who tells you ...
You're getting laid off? Your manager or someone from HR?
Just another expense
It's exhausting to feel like management only sees us as a cost they want to cut. Do they really think AT&T can thrive without the people who do the actual work? Not going from a useless meeting to a useless meeting, but doing to work that keeps this... — read more

Quite frankly I'll be glad when they take away the choice
