Anyone have intel on this? Wondering when those employees will no longer be on T benefits/payroll. Does it make sense to assume T would want the employees off books at the start of Q3, or at least before next earnings call 07/24? They said about 120... — read more

Stankey in NJ this week
First half of the week in Middletown, second half of the week in Bedminster. Surely this is bad news.
Last Paycheck - paper or still direct deposit? How quickly does the Mobility discount go away?
I'm leaving soon but want to understand if my last paycheck with any unused PTO is sent via mail (paper) or direct deposit. Also looking to see how quickly the 50% discount changes to 30% (I meet MR75). Peace out.
Is that all there is? By Peggy Lee
Perhaps this fine tune could be modified or updated to include the general feelings or attitudes of at&t employees! It's just horrible what Stephens, Stephenson, and Stankey have done to at&t. Retirees used to have pride in letting others know they... — read more
New Jersey R&D?

West union layoffs for techs
Anyone know when there will be a layoff? Not enough work for these folks
Layoffs
Haven’t heard about one since last month, any new weekly updates? They are coming regular now, Thanks team Stankey!
Meza AZ bound!
So long San Diego, AT&T needs me to move.
Promotions?
I’m being serious. AT&T promotes id--ts. Look at them. There are some very competent people, but there are also complete mo--ns in management and higher technical roles. How are you a technical seller and have no technical skill? It’s like if you are... — read more
Severance Package
Anyone have any idea what AT&T's severance package looks like? Our team was told last week that we'd get our layoff notice next week, and I'm trying to mentally prepare. It's brutal. They told those of us who are "eligible" that some of us would get... — read more

Scarborough layoffs announced

Many people have reporting vermin rodent activity in Lenox
1025 and 1055. I have seen it firsthand. All in the parking decks there are also baits and traps. Lenox looks like a 70's burnt out Bronx wasteland. Disgusting. And don't forget ATT wants to attract a younger workforce. They think free instant brewed... — read more
Are we at the point of failing forever to provide services?

Imagine your 401K being matched in TMobile stock the past 15 years.
John Stankey was a drunken riverboat gambler with other people's money. That risk still exists today as he feels no sting from whacking multiple $50-$100B hornets nests. It's a safe bet that once the balance sheet has enough strength he will go out... — read more
Do the opposite. The Anti-Stankey Plan.
JS: Default to 30 minute meetings. JS: Limit Meetings to 8 people. JS: Use A Topical Outline. JS: Limit PowerPoint. No Printouts. If you want to increase your value and stock price, I’d advise either having an hour long meeting with 16 people and... — read more

What does "always on" mean to you?
This got me to thinking, what does always on really mean? It appears at&t is failing miserably when it comes to Stankey's new moniker "always on". It seems like always on would be the minimum network reliabilty component measurement. In any case at&t... — read more
Point of RTO? Just a cheap layoff scheme.
I’m one of those people for whom RTO means relocation. Which is a pricey affair, and I may still get laid off a week from relocation. Since nobody in their right mind can think that relocating is a viable option for anyone, what’s the point? I just... — read more
Transition to Atlanta, let go < 12 Months

New Cohen Layoffs Coming

“Open Mic” NJ - Jeremy Legg
Just make sure to bring up the stupid RTO strategy in every town hall with Stankey and his directs, especially Legg. It makes him sweat, it is funny watching him give BS reasons like culture fit and collaboration as key drivers of this strategy. Who... — read more
Midyear report
I’m curious, and please forgive my ignorance - does mid-year reports with managers mean you can get a raise or what is exactly the intention of this?
Out of country on surplus date
What happens if I’m out of the country on PTO on my surplus date? Does AT&T fill out paperwork for me? Is it ok if my COU and laptop are not returned until after I get back from vacation (which might be a few weeks after my LDOP)?
ATT su-ks again…

Stankey, McElfresh, and Legg Heading to NJ for “Open Mic”
They are going to NJ next week for an “Open Mic” … Wonder what the real reason is, any ideas?
Northeast Pa phone service not working
Anyone else having this issue across the country? Here in the Northeast and in Northeast, Pa we have no cell phone service.
Lump sum question
I was searching about something I read, maybe a misunderstanding, at the time did not bookmark. Does anyone know of a change in lump sum payout after 2025? Possibly not offering lump sum pay out after 2025?
Promotions outside of Dallas
Has anyone been promoted, or received a progression outside of Dallas, without being ask to move to Dallas since the New Year?
Duration Logs
Starting this month they have added LAN duration times to the attendance reporting. Leaderships expectation is 8 hours per day, at a minimum 24 hours per week. Less than 24 hours per week will trigger supervisor review.
If the leadership doesn't start making the right moves soon, we're doomed
I wonder, how many bad decisions does it take for a company of AT&T's size to reach the liquidation stage? We've had several monumental ones that cost us billions so far and we're still standing, but for how long? Who's to say that the next id--tic... — read more
