Guess att doesn't want to pay for people to sit around during this strike. If you recently had people leave, count yourself lucky! Just got a call about my headcount going from 12 down to 8! Now I have to tell my new employees that they're being let... — read more

Approximately 1700 workers deployed (as of when?)
From the CP portal, not sure how long this has been up: CWA initiates a work stoppage in the Southeast, starting August 16 Approximately 1700 Contingency Workers have been officially deployed to their Contingency Assignment.
Biggest Losers in this Strike IHX and Fiber
Techs aren’t getting paid because of a conscious choice they are making… The company should suffer in this because they won’t pay the techs…. What the F did IHX and Fiber do to deserve to be caught up in this and this make no money…. This is... — read more

Tear down the executive culture
@union, @lvl1, lvl2 look out for each other Don’t look out for level 3’s and up. They are under crippling orders to not look out for you. Change the culture. A workforce that is ineffective together isn’t a reflection on individuals, it’s a... — read more
Leadership calling on their abused managers to save their network
So after years of taking benefits, destroying the work life balance they promoted, laying off 3/4 of the work force, and abusing what’s left with forcing days in the office, they now call upon us to leave our families and our homes to travel across... — read more
They’re spending more on CP than they would have on the union contract.
That’s how stu-pid they really are.
CP duty 12 hour days 6 days a week!
WTF is this sh-t? Is this even legal?
Don't TOUCH THE BUTTONS
We were just informed that managers operating any vehicle that may contain buttons, levers or any mechanical switches to refrain from touching them. After the vehicle accidents within the last few days the company realizes they have a 3rd class of... — read more
CWA
CWA "fighting" for better benefits and getting paid, while we stand in the sun on a picket line and get nothing. Seems really fair doesn't it? Before anyone starts with this "you knew it was a contract year and should have saved" cr-p, some of us... — read more
Monday is nearly here
Back to work ATT! Find your inspiration! Provide a value!
AT&T is recalling all former techs.
Just got an email this morning telling me to report to the local hub. Told we're going to do a day of retraining to "catch us back up". They're giving us 100% commission relief for the month and $1500 a week on top of our salary. But we're being... — read more

Relo is just another layoff strategy
I mean, who would accept to relocate for a company which is badly managed, chaotic, and where leadership does nothing to generate revenue but excels at cuts just so stock value isn’t shot down? You relocate, pay for it, move your whole family, sc--w... — read more
In Office Monitoring Starting
Got word from our AVP under Legg that they are going to implement in office monitoring starting soon. Apparently only 22% of people are staying the whole day vs. cutting out early. Not sure what the ramifications would be at this point?

Stankey always dismisses T-Mobile
Any time he's talking about financials he never forgets to mention T-Mobile only to dismiss their stock performance. It must really burn him that theirs is going 5-6x better than ours. Clearly his and the rest of the C-suite "leadership" team has... — read more
IHX in the SE, what are ya'll doing?
I'm in IHX myself and it's getting difficult to stay busy. They have us out doing what few repairs there are, Salesforce calls to customers that just scream at us since they've already been called 1-3x already. Flyer drops and follow ups as... — read more
FCC Investigation: Southern US Outages
The FCC is off to the races! Dinging AT&T for deceptive pricing just got put in the back seat and outages are riding shotg-n. As the network decays, be prepared for HUGE fines and new regulations. Doink!
Rumor Mill
Any truth to the rumor that a manager reportedly passed away yesterday, August 22nd? Just curious, no one needs to die doing this.
Another C Suite ‘retirement’
Jim Bugel is ‘retiring’, announced today. I have not been around long enough to know if that is good news or not.
When Managers are doing CP duty, and no one is doing your jobs, will the company survive?
Seriously. If you’re crossing the picket line, and your job ain’t being done, and the company still humming along, what does that say about the need of management? Lay off the dead weight management. Hire a 3rd party leadership company to run the... — read more

Lowkey striking but really not
Post your D3 picket line cook-out menu for the day here:
