I heard that if you take "x" number of vacation, sick, holidays in a week they ignore looking at how many days you are in office for that week. Is that true? If true, what number is "x"?

All officers are making plans to reduce an incremental 25% L3/L4 for the September or October surplus off payroll dates. This is a Span of control edict. Many GMs that made the move to Dallas will end up surplus. Any GMs currently in the process of... — read more 

It’s funny. I posted about AT&T being a woke socialist he-l hole, then the trolls appeared and lost their minds from their TDS, and now the post is down. Will anything anywhere get better with this type of thought policing and inability of grown... — read more 

I just can’t be fearful about losing my job anymore. At one point my health will break down completely, and I’ll no longer be able to take care of myself, let alone work. We all are unfortunately entangled in different debt schemes, and with today’s... — read more

Anyone have any insight on the timing for the next round of GM layoffs within ATS? Was curious if it would coincide with the earnings call on Wednesday. I heard August but wasn’t sure if that was off payroll or when notifications are coming out. No... — read more 

Why? Just because we have an incompetent CEO and CIO? C’mon, some of us want to retire in 5 years and negative growth in a time of inflation doesn’t cut it.

Tick Tock! 2 weeks left on the D3 contract and D9 still hasn’t come to a tentative agreement, let alone ratification. Contingency team, it’s time to get the bags packed and boots shined, the labor team is about to put you into action. Only person... — read more 

New York-based Verizon has hired advisers to gauge interest from potential buyers for a package of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 towers, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information. A sale could bring in more than $3... — read more 

Seems we had more towers out in the last year from a Tech support employee than we ever had. I think some of the big corp are not going to be renewing contracts with ATT in the future. ATT can't afford to give them a big discount to stay. Thoughts?

It's funny working where most people WANT to be laid off creating a joke of an environment without care. Managers at all levels are routinely surplussed leaving those left behind walking on eggshells in constant worry for their role and how much... — read more

Two since 7/9. Six in the last year. Two massive data breaches in the last five years, exposing all customer data. Att su-ks in technical and strategic areas. Let’s all move to a single point of failure - one vendor, few employees, save C-Suite’s... — read more 

customers were complaining that they couldn't make or receive calls. If they did make calls, had to call back numerous times due to the poor quality of the calls. This type of incident is occurring all too frequently and has to stop!

AT&T is really just a holding company that does not build any technology but licenses products from vendors and uses them to operate. Just needs a minimal layer of management to provide strategy and direction.

Headed to the beach…

All the layoffs, office consolidation and automation processes are showing returns. C-Suite got it right.

They rolled Arnoldi's billing and fraud group into finance and they are all over the country. How will the finance people who were told to move to Atlanta and Dallas take it? Will the billing and fraud group be told to move to Dallas and Atlanta?

Will the data breaches have an impact on next year’s bonus?
