Stank Bots
The Stank has hired a company to deploy bots to this site to counter legitimate criticism and some ranting. Not proven but some of the positive and discounting posts are clearly AI. I've come to this site for over 5 years and not seen bot posts... — read more
Surplus and Retention
Has anyone had a retention bonus and been surplussed a few months before maturity? Did you get a partial prorated payment?
Just for giggles and grins..
I decided (for the first time actually) to check out other companies on this site just to see what people were saying about Verizon, T-Mobile etc. And ya know what? the posts are pretty much interchangeable! I know I’m not exactly posting any late... — read more

Asset Protection needs sales work history
A friend just went through an AP investigation and told me about it in detail. It is so funny to me how inexperienced AP really is. Here is the formula to find fraud in mobility. OrderTrack + ATTUID= every sale ever made by that employee.
T+SalesFarce = DirecTV 2.0//The sequel no one asked for
Has anyone else been frustrated with the Salesforce implementation for AIA activations in retail? The Internet Air activation flow is a nightmare. It’s glitchy, unreliable, and hurting my sales, but of course, we’re expected to just sell sell sell!... — read more
Emails
Really sad to see that Dailey upper level people retire and there’s a mass email sent out etc! But when one employee retires you hearing nothing! Enough said..
So much hate and jealousy from office workers
people make fake news like remote workers dont work simply because disgruntled workers dont have that option. If you are a horrible worker you will do this no matter where you are. Maybe you are the entitled smoke worker who takes 100 smoke breaks a... — read more
First Sanbar and Now Kertz
Seems like the higher ups are jumping ship with a golden parachute. Not saying they were good just that they all seem to be leaving.
Running a business from home while designated Remote worker status
How does one get "approved" to come in only 1 day a month, and then NEVER be available online because they are working their side gig full time from home? Better question is, which supervisor level signs off on this? Just trying to understand this... — read more
I’ve been trying to leave
But it’s so difficult to find another job. I haven’t been with T for long, I do have a decent skill set, a fine resume, yet all the offers I ever got were really bad. Has anyone had any good experiences with job search lately? I’m hoping it’s just me... — read more
They always only have sales job or mobility jobs in the Kansas City Metro area
Why don't they offer customer service jobs everywhere? There are never any offerings for both Kansas or Missouri.
I’ve been laid off the last round
Now I regret that I waited for a while to be laid off instead of leaving on my own. It’s great that I got the severance and all, but I wish I left earlier. I completely lost perspective while in T. I allowed myself to stagnate and be majorly affected... — read more
Only Sales or Mobiloty jobs in Kansas City
Why is there never any union jobs available in Kansas City except sales? For yearsbI have looked but they have offerings in other states. Do they hate the Kansas City Metro area including Kansas?
Work stoppage bonus
How come some non exempt managers got the work stoppage bonus and some did not?
When looking for a job, how many applications do you send out per day/week?
I've been doing an average of five and I haven't received many responses. Is it not enough? It's a bit hard to find time for more, but if I have to do it, I will. It's been a while since the last time I did something like this, so I feel a bit like a... — read more
80% of the employees at T are over 50
And ready to retire in the next 10 years. Stankey trying to push them out early when all he has to do is give them 6 months pay. Destroyed an entire company’s culture to achieve what could have been achieved with a minimal severance package... — read more

Never seen so many people put their hands up

Mid-market sales
At this point, it seems like sales is just a lot of retail individuals, some college students and a mix of people who know their resources and techs. It was very interesting to hear our SVP say that they're doing changes on how talent is brought but... — read more
It's hard to understand why people stay here
I'm the newest person on my team, and the only one not freaking out about losing my job nonstop. Everyone else seems robotic and submissive, just going through the motions. Everyone is scared to say anything and keep everything to themselves. I can't... — read more
Run!
AT&T was by far the WORST, most toxic work environment I have ever been exposed to. Rule by Fear and Intimidation plus the incessant whipping from above to make the Elusive, Falsified, manipulated "numbers" (metrics) every day, week, month, Quarter... — read more

I dare the Stank to go 5 days RTO next year
You might as well give me my package, because I won’t be doing sh-t. We know why Sambar left. It was the Stinks 5 days RTO demands. I’ll follow Chris and jump from this sinking ship. Amazon tried and polls show 75% of employees were looking for... — read more
Ad-supported DIRECTV for FREE
Is offering ad-supported DIRECTV for free moments after selling off a violation of anti-competitive laws? Shouldn’t the millions of subscribers have been offered while we owned 90%? Smells like a scam… again. Some Private Equity Firm going to get a... — read more
Toxic culture
I never realized how important company culture is when it comes to job satisfaction until I started working at AT&T. Every place I worked before had a good culture, so I accepted that as a given. Until I started here five years ago. Since then, I... — read more
