The bargaining committee should immediately call for work to rule. No overtime! No loaners. Dont help contractors. Report AT&T to the CPUC when you are unable to repair POTS because of lack of supply or manager directive. PremTechs, don't help... — read more
Monthly performance counseling from a designated team lead
We have an incompetent do-nothing manager. She recently designated 2 team leads which effectively reduced our team of 11 workers to only 9. They are essentially doing her work for her. In March we were told these team leads would begin counseling... — read more
Why the fret about DEI when the real enemy is AI artificial intelligence.
AI-powered systems are predicted to replace up to 80% of existing call center and customer service jobs, leading to the elimination of thousands of positions ranging from agents to middle managers.
DEI employees are more prone to tow the line
And do well at ATT regardless of their results. They aren't producers or innovators they are just followers and gladly get on board. Big part of the overall toxic environment at ATT. Imagine a company creating an environment to drive people to quit. — read more
What’s your experience with DEI at T?
Have you or someone you know been passed up for a job so that your manager could brag about being a diversity champion? Anyone remember when Anne Chow made us all have team calls with our managers to confess white privilege, shame and sorrow for... — read more
Spearhead
Any of you following the whole Spearhead drama? AT&T terminated the contract of it's largest Alliance Channel Solution Provider this past week and the FBI shutdown their offices and froze their assets. Apparently several T employees were taking big... — read more
Have RTO Reports Been Updated?
I’m a L2 and saw the report when it first came out. Very limited - just shows if you badged in 3 days a week. No time in office. And if you took 1 PTO day the week was grayed out. For those with access - has that changed? Can they see how long your... — read more
D9 be smart and strike with SouthEast at the same time!
I was impressed with GM strategy and how they won. With the two biggest unions in att at the same time out on strike the company won’t have a chance. The 3 months working without a contract will be the smartest move.
Earthquake near Bedminster, NJ
No "Yesokay".. no fire alarm to get out of the building even after it was over.. really? Understand it was about 15 seconds.. but thought we were under attack. WTF.
ULP is on tap first, Latest Bargaining Update, an excerpt;
To put this in perspective, the company gave a 122% bonus and more than 2% raises for the majority of managers who were in compliance, from last year’s results, 16.8 BILLION in free cash flow. Execs and the c-suite received much more up to the 27... — read more
College hire sales program
AT&T needs to cut this. Most of these college hires don't last a year. They find better opportunities after they get the training. Another loser program that leadership created.
Accepting relocation doesn't save your job
A coworker in ATS who was being relocated (told to move) from Nashville to ATL and had until December to move just got told his position is being eliminated effective 4/15. This company has no loyalty to any of its employees. Why would anyone move... — read more
No Strike discussion?
CWA West contract expires 4/6. You guys gonna do it or not?
Slap in face
Seems like a big rip off that the company dosen't give us employees a discount on phones. There must be some wiggle room in the deals with Samsun and Apple. Just another kick in the teeth.
Cyber sale - update
Psych! Just kidding. There is nothing to update because they haven’t communicated a single thing to the affected employees in over a month!! There was a commitment by end of Q1. You think they would at least feel obligated to tell their employees... — read more

Matt Urbanski, who cleans 40 squatted homes a month: I’d be terrified in Atlanta to lease out one of my properties.
I rented a place recently in Atlanta to prepare for a move for RTO. I lost my deposit I think. The condo I rented was rented to me was subletted to me by a squatter. I signed a contract for a year lease, paid my deposit. I was contacted by the... — read more
Stankey's email 4/4/2024: Spending $5B by 2030 to connect the unconnected
In laymen's turn, we are reaching out to the low income to show them we are a good company and care for all. Except, we don't care about our employees who are an expense. Make internet affordable for all including those that can't pay - sounds like... — read more
SURG Suregpays would have done more for

Let's do a survey here
Who is happy with their job at AT&T?
Low Morale
We recently filled out a "culture survey". Our org has really low moral and everyone is pretty much unhappy. If the results are very low, what does AT&T do about it? What do they do with the managers? I suspect pretty much nothing since the... — read more

Spearhead. Go!
ANOTHER purpose survey
Anyone get this today? What’s the point? I’m probably going to skip it but what’s the consensus?
Jeremy Legg
Dude is a day late and a dollar short. Needs to keep up with the times, technology
Here’s how it goes
Them: You have to come back to the office 3 days a week, no matter how long your commute is. Us: We’re unhappy! Them: We are now going to track how long you’re in the office because we need to micromanage. Us: We’re unhappy!! Them (EASE): 1 of... — read more

What did I miss on Chad Townes call today?
The only feedback I heard was …. “He doesn’t want any of his employees “ and he said “we need to make our employees our customers”. Anyone ? I hadn’t seen or known any town hall recordings since I heard our CEO told everyone that he wanted the... — read more
It all makes sense once you realize it is you
The plebs against all the VPs and above. You are being used and will be dismissed on a whim. DEI is just the whipping post to tick off the producers who get shafted left and right. Shut it down, milk the clock, and take these b@stards for all the... — read more
