Eating good while picketing and waiting on the ULP charges to be investigated by the General Counsel at the NLRB. Shout out to all the social media company managers that keep posting that we are Second Class Employees, Union Slugs and are threatening... — read more

Strike to continue
Long time listener first time caller... Duh... reposting is obviously I did not do it correct the first time around. I am hearing strike will continue, negotiations too far apart to come to agreement any time soon, possible months nit weeks. No... — read more
The “Think about it” post was deleted
It was recently posted a couple hours ago with many negative comments regarding RTO but it’s not there anymore. Interesting!
What’s with people reporting being laid off for the past few days?
Individual or limited occurrences, or there is more to it?
Severance Changes
Management severance is scheduled to be modified 4Q 2024. Beginning 1Q 2025, severance will transition from a flat 6 months of salary for management employees to a tiered severance pay progression based on role level. For example, a surplussed L1... — read more
RTO > Customers and Resilience
This company has seen more large scale customer outages in the past year than the last 5 combined. The common denominator? RTO. Employees are exhausted, and burned out both mentally and physically. Productivity is in the trash. Instead of getting an... — read more

D3 Union Members: Message to you
I am a Management Employee that just received Surplus notice- I have NEVER worked a strike detail although I was forced to train for a position for many years here at AT&T. In a previous career I was in a job and a union member before coming to... — read more
Video
Hey, what happened to the video of that man getting harassed and discriminated against for crossing the picket line? I was going to show it to my kids but it’s no where to be found. It was blatant racism. Please post so we can raise awareness of... — read more
RTO the common denominator of all T’s failures in 2024
Start asking about this on the town halls, make them answer. Is made up “collaboration” more important than providing good service to customers? You have an exhausted, burned out, and angry employee base. And productivity has never been worse. All... — read more
Contingency Assignment
I have been “trained” and now about to dispatch this A.M. I’m in GA and working with an engineer from Texas. This should be interesting, can’t wait 🫣. Ready for this strike to be resolved so we can go back home to my families. All this is going on... — read more
Another Outage, Yay!
Getting push notifications from multiple outlets the past couple hours about network outages and once again affecting user’s ability to call 911? Funny because in yesterday’s headlines T just paid $950k to the FCC for the same thing lol. Get Stanky... — read more
Pure toxic
This company has fostered, incubated and grown to a full size adult one of the most toxic cultures and work environments I have ever experienced.
Mid Market is going up in flames
I heard they are cutting all mid market in half! Including operations and COE… After they made people move to Dallas. The strategy set up by operations is not working and upper leadership wants operations to change asap to build a better strategy... — read more
Resistance is Futile!
Says the AT&T Borg. You will comply and bow to the collective! Layoffs, Relocation and RTO will continue because you matter.
Dead peasant insurance
I heard residuals came in to Att coffers this month for DPI. Can't go broke making money off of former/future dead employees even if they are/were 2nd class.
What’s the latest Layoff and D3 Bargaining News?
Been incommunicado since the weekend, tubing, skiing and fishing at the lake. I saw someone mentioned wave 2 layoffs, what organizations and numbers? I heard more CP were being called up, any truth to that? Has there been anymore CP accidents, hope... — read more
Do Unions Really Care?
Had an issue in NJ where union employees retired and their work went to non union and rumor is off shore. No one cared. Never investigated. The jobs not posted. That is what the dues are for.
Are unions a scam?
Unions are just another lobbyist. They do not care about the people they represent, they only care about taking your money so they have more power and influence in DC. I’m sure most of you CWA folks have been here a while. Ask yourselves, what has... — read more
Water main break destroys home in Fort Worth
https://youtu.be/h1LQVilLj6g?si=VXqglGTpcZhtWf92 YouTube comment: This sounds like an AT&T subcontractor! AT&T is notorious for hiring incompetent subcontractors who consequently break water lines and gas lines, too! They've done that here in... — read more
GES Mobility
Rumor has it that GES Mobility will have another layoff round in OCT…anyone else hear this?
What's keeping you at T?
Personally, I'm waiting to be laid off. I want to leave but I also don't want to do Stankey and his cronies any favors by walking away for free. I figured, with the frequency of layoffs, my time is bound to come within a year or two at the most, and... — read more
Reality Setting In?
The company is playing chess while CWA is playing checkers. The union sounds defeated in their last update, employees are already whining about not having any money, and the house of cards is falling. We knew AT&T didn’t care about its customers or... — read more
Welcome back to 5 days a week in-office!
With the new Occupancy Indicators (OI) rolling out across the country, you may ask yourself what "FTO" stands for. It means "Full Time Office" Worker. If you're interested in the other letter or other OI, check out HR OneStop and search for U.S... — read more
New indicators
Anyone knows how many days a MS will Have to be in the office per week?
Something fishy is going on
Updates galore about who brought lunch and how bad the company is, then all of a sudden Saturday was the last update. What is the union not telling us? Seems like someone jumped the g-n. Why wasn't our contract extended like in 2019? 12 days after... — read more
How well did the company prepare?
From my perspective the company was caught completely off guard. Things in the Southeast have grinded to a halt.
Mobility Union
I am glad for the strike! I am glad at least this part of the Union fights for them! I must say the Union for the Gulf States is horrible! We have NO ONE that understands mobility and its operations! This so called guy in the guy in Mississippi... — read more

Is this old?
It’s on CWA District 3’s website but doesn’t have a date. It shows up first on a google search. CWA District 3 Reaches Tentative Agreement with AT&T Contact: Candice Johnson, cjohnson@cwa-union.org, and 202-434-1168 and Linda Crawford... — read more
Occupancy Indicators
What’s with the new OI’s in PHONE? A lot of them have changed from FOW/FTO/TW to NFOW, NFTO, and NVW. What’s the “N”mean?
When will the strike end?
Any idea
Why I hate AT&T
They put you in a ridiculous situation and then gas light you into thinking you are the issue, that you aren’t working hard enough or you are thinking wrong etc. total cult.
Dear Union Employees
You have the full support of lower-level AT&T management. As with many of my peer management colleagues, I hope you get what you deserve. Stinky, coupled with corporate America's avarice, will try to take as much as they can. Stick to what you... — read more
What is "The Portal" as it relates to RTO?
My boss just told me to let him know when I need to work from home on occasion (as we are required to be in office 5 days per week) so that he can enter it into "the portal". I didn't even want to ask what that means exactly. I just assume I must... — read more
Pension or cash balance
I’m hearing that SBC/ at &T wants to take the pension away from the District 3 strikers, and give them cash balance . Is that true? If so, anyone with 30-40-50 years service, if you retire before a new contract is ratified, will that grandfather... — read more
Mid market
Anyone know how much longer this will go on? It’s not profitable, people aren’t making money and it’s not sustainable. How long before fundamental change?
