AT&T is proudly featuring some dude on the Intranet who used to be homeless and now rose thru T ranks and carries a big vanity title of “associate director”:). There was an external article about him too. For all I know he may be a stand up guy, but... — read more
Kathy Dowling brought in VP
If Streamlining Operations. Hatchet Woman On Board.
I left a good job to join AT&T
Three years ago I left a decent job in a company with a good culture to join AT&T. Now I feel like I'm working in a circus run by monkeys. Chasing a "brand" name I thought would help my career at best and look good on my resume at worst sc--wed me... — read more
Townes Town Hall
Chads new employee reminded me of the Fred Armisen character from the old SNL skit the Californians. He said like more times then a 13 yo girl and called someone Bro. Also, stop telling us we’re better together, we’re not
Executive Management at AT&T
Remind me of school administration trying to sweep everything under the rug and rig test scores. They have no idea what they manage let alone improving it.
social security breach
gee I hope att didn't release my social security number to the dark web. that would be a bummer.
RTO - How many days are you in the office
Just wondering why the RTO compliance is applied so unevenly across the enterprise. How many days are you expected in the office to be compliant? Is there a minimum number of hours included as part of compliance? What org/business... — read more
Stink’s ageist Town Hall comments
“We have a mathematical issue we have to deal with in our company. The profile of our workforce does not match the profile of the population of the United States and the customer base. Both in terms of matching it demographically and matching it from... — read more
If you all didn’t know
The legal team formerly chief compliance office had a bunch of layoffs on 03.07. Was many L2’s. And if L3’s no longer had a team under them (believe 10+ or more which none of the L3’s ever had more than 3-5), they’re being evaluated to keep their... — read more
Jon Summers 4/2 town hall cancelled
Anyone else find it strange it was cancelled with no insinuation of a reschedule?
Cyber Ransom?
What if AT&T was asked to pay a ransom to avoid having customer information published…and opted to just let the data be made public….?
T2R derailed, messed up again
Why history keeps repeating, over and over; cuz it’s under Legg
Orange contract?
When does it go back to bargaining table?
Reasons to stay
I got an offer, but the pay is 15 percent under what I make now. That's a tough pill to swallow, but I didn't give up on the offer right away. I did a pros/cons list to try and weigh it out. I have miserable raises, nonexistent promotions, declining... — read more
Question
Why isn’t AT&T & Accenture partnership considered corporate espionage?
Tick Tock, 6 days left D9
Time to mobilize and prepare to walk, contact your local steward and ask about selecting your time assignment and picket location. CP can handle it for a while, some think we are unskilled and useless. Let’s find out! For me, a month or two... — read more
Your work is being outsourced
Period end of discussion.
Happy Easter!
No layoffs today, enjoy the day with family and friends!
Security Breach
Another mid step!
Stanky Stinks
Wretched aromas of decaying death float through the air in my work location with overwhelming stink of Stank and his disastrous legacy of destroying our company.
checking in to see of the Board and Stank have been canned
oh, they got raises -makes sense. stock all time lows, employees embarrassed to work here and a running joke of budgets and fake work
What the h*ll is wrong with your company?
I made a mistake and tried to use at&t in 2018. I terminated service after 3 months due to their inability to provide coverage during business travels. Now some of my information has been shared. I am not yet sure how extensive my exposure is. They... — read more
Does anyone else feel like.......
not going the extra mile to get things done? doing the bare minimum to stay under the radar? not innovate and try to benefit AT&T? coast along, collecting a paycheck knowing the end is near? hoping to get a package so you can leave this... — read more
“Like Sands through an hourglass,
these are the days of our lives” Not long now, only about 7 days until, contract expiration, D9. Tick Tock!
Cybersecurity, 4 year old compromise, seriously?
Received today, can’t imagine how bad it will get with the cyber outsourced…. “We take cybersecurity very seriously and privacy is a fundamental commitment at AT&T. We have discovered that your AT&T account passcode has been compromised, therefore... — read more
I just see very few VPs that are inspiring or even successful
They just tow the line and it's the same old drab day in and day out. It's like the walking dead in RTO except for the few id--ts who don't do much but buy into all this Executive nonsense. Slash heads, worry about fallout later, move stuff to India... — read more
73 million accounts leaked - former and current customers
At what point are executive leaders going to be held accountable? "Unclear if it came from us or our vendors"
Every call I am on with Jennifer Robertson her voice sounds
Like she is about to break down and cry. Gets all snarky and defensive as well. It's probably constructed by Stankey but this whole attitude of suppressing ideas or alternative ways of thinking or there is the door has pretty much shut down the... — read more
Mismanaged and disorganized
I swear, there should be an AT&T logo next to the words "mismanaged" and "disorganized" in a dictionary. We're a textbook example for both, thanks to Stankey.
To all bargained for employees ...
Please strike! You already know the company is going to do everything they can to take away. You will make up the lost salary in OT after you come back. Give us "contingency" workers a little vacation too. We can't fight back so your fight helps us... — read more
Best thing to have happened to me, and others
I left T in 2022. No plan, no "other job", no back up plan. The motivation was not to lose 40% of my pension. Best decision I've ever made. After 4 job interviews, I was able to leverage my experienced gained at T after 24 years and got hired on... — read more
The AT&T RTO Problem
Saw this buried in this forum and had to elevate it. It's EXACTLY why we hate RTO. Why RTO is counter-productive to our company's productivity and is cultivating a culture the company really should not want. "I've worked in the software... — read more
ATS unionizing
Dallas, Atlanta, New Jersey and Washington hubs for ATS need to start looking into unionizing to secure their jobs
Lack of professionalism across the board
I guess when you systemically get rid of the people who are professionals, know what they're doing, and care about doing a good job, what you have left is a bunch of folks who are just looking to get the day over with and don't care how they do it... — read more
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to everyone. For those leaving next, maximize your last paid holiday at T.
Reporting to investors
When will employees see how much AT&T saved from mass layoffs and RTO? How much did we save the company? Where are the numbers? How much did they save from pension contribution and benefit cuts?... — read more
Managers & employees** Start Fighting back
https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/enforcement-guidance-retaliation-and-related-issues#Work_Related
So many Directors, AVP's, VP's came up through the ATT System they will manage to
the scorecard and not to the bottom line. It's what they do, it's all they know. Hammer meets nail. Someone is outside of the box and crushing it they don't know what to do with that person, they are an outlier on charts and must be tamed.
Platinum and BAT to merge
Bat seller here in SC, my manager just told me this is happening, but we are being retitled with no raise?
