a lot of level5 leaving and then a wave of 4-3-2 cuts
The Entire HR department needs to go
They do nothing but divide the company, destroy meritocracy and anything that isnt a simple administrative function should be going to legal counsel anyway. Let departments handle their budget and hiring firing decisions. Send the DEI Dividers... — read more
AIA
Today my market started "selling" AIA. Can't wait to see all the fraud involved and bloated numbers.
DTV merger 2014 blowback

2024 Layoffs
My Son-In-law just got layer off after 25 years and was within 6 months from retirement. And no internal jobs are available. ATT doesn't care at all about any employees. SU-KS!
You know
All of the senior execs, yes all of them, read this blog. I would also venture to say most probably post comments here regularly. So, I ask, how do you think they justify in their minds that their incessant disregard and firing of people is a... — read more
Lobby
So did downtown Dallas really spend $50 million on lobby remodel in 2023?
Don't count on long-term employment at AT&T
If you haven't figured out by now that all of us are on borrowed time here, then you need to open your eyes wider and really look at what's been going on. Nobody is safe. It's not just the reduction in the workforce, it's the overall "cheapening" of... — read more

Company being antagonistic and cheap with it's employee base

Company survey
The question is, will they care to act to retain us or use against us? Some the questions were different: do we have enough employees? (Really?) Have you ever felt burnout? (Yep, due to previous question). Do you find collaboration between... — read more
Another Reorg
Heard from a Bedminster person that the "yearly" reorg is coming. Plus, people are to be in the building 5 days a week and not everyone is doing that. If the edict is to come in then it should be for everyone. Not pick and choose.
AT&T West storm
Don't take call outs. Send a message. Let it fail.
director of labor relations fired
Am sure they'll settle with this man as he probably has the inside dirt on all the discrimination going on and am sure they don't want it come out in a public trial. (February 27, 2024) - A 67-year-old man who served as a director of labor relations... — read more

Do we have any COR stores left?

Very good advice on culture survey
A couple of other things about the survey and please do take it. Don’t just choose the most negative for the multiple choice. Giving a few positive responses here and there helps show that you give a damn (even if you don’t) and you aren’t a... — read more
