I heard from an HR source that a culture survey would be released soon as a follow up to Stankey's townhall when he mentioned he was disappointed in the progress of his culture change. Has anyone else heard anything? This is different than than... — read more

Orgs off payroll date?
Wave 2 for some groups on the relocation and others were tapped for a layoff. Any news about which org, numbers or dates yet?
Will Rogers once said :
Why would you pay AT&T for TV when you can stream more than you can watch for free .
HELPLINE TO CALIFORNIA LANDLINE CUSTOMERS
I retired from AT&T 20 years ago but did you know ........... even with my employee discount I got a better deal with T -mobile for cell service ,no joke I'm not kidding.
Call Center
Cuts are coming. Anything not in footprint will be shut down by 2025. Many of us are excited.
Since our “leaders” are actually followers…
Maybe they will follow this: https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/nintendo-ceos-refusal-to-lay-off-staff-goes-viral-following-industry-wide-cuts-3577675 We can always dream.
For the past 15 years I moved my 401K match over to
The Index 500 and TMobile Stock once they started getting some mojo with Legere. Anyone who invests in this toxic debt/culture filled company gets what they deserve. Why on earth would anyone move themselves on their own dime for this zombie company? — read more
Lawsuit on time to move
How much time are people given to move once they have official communication? Is it 6 months? Since people are having to move on their own dime , can't a lawsuit be filed. 6 months seems unrealistic expectation without assistance.
Use the cloud they say, but don't use it so much! WTF
WTF is up with leadership all this cloud BS by signing all these cloud vendor agreements, and then scolding us when we use it because the meter is running and we need to keep a lid on costs.. WTF, you're AT&T use you're fckn leverage and stop... — read more

This cybersecurity “thing”
Not sure what to call this.. a sale, a spin off, a joint venture? Maybe more like a circus. Most days they keep talking about “the buyer” and pretending AT&T isn’t a significant owner in this new “thing.” Amnesia? Why is AT&T so intent on washing... — read more
When Does YTR Statement come out?
Really considering an offer elsewhere (right around what I’m making now) but I’d like to see if I get a raise or not
Reorgs coming, again :-(
Get ready AFO, you are next on the list. Usually means consolidation and layoffs, increased work, same pay for those that survive.
Commercial Real Estate & RTO
RTO is part of a larger issue with commercial real estate. Stankey and his cohort stand to lose if commercial real estate falters. That's what they care about, not loyal workers who built their lives around remote work but are suddenly told they... — read more

How AT&T Leadership implements change
Step 1: lt's not really happening Step 2: Yeah, it's happening, but it's not a big deal Step 3: lt's a good thing, actually Step 4: Employees freaking out about it are the real problem
Stock price i

Working here is just awful
Complaining internally about anything won't get you anywhere because there are too many people trying to silence you and sweep everything under the rug, making your life miserable. I've realized it's better to forget about T and find a job at a... — read more
Best of Luck to the 2/9 Alumni Class

Frontier up for sale or merger
They moved their HQ to Dallas last year and are being pursued by AT&T, t- Mobile and Verizon. Here we go again!
You better think twice
You guys are perilously mistaken if you don't think the company has the ability or willingness to gather badge swipe data. And, they can quickly pull data detailing the time you were on the company network versus VPN, on a daily basis I might add... — read more
No RTO reports since Workday
Lmfao! That is exactly what I expect from ATT. Automate it, then it breaks, then it never gets fixed. You can’t make this sh-t up!
Put the blame where it belongs
In 2010 ATT, was still growing and then “we” decided to buy TMobile which failed and created a new competitor since we had to pay then nearly $3billion breakup fee. We then purchased DTV and Time Warner Media for almost. $150 billion (including... — read more
Algorithm for Layoffs
Trying to figure out why the people who get laid off are selected. My guess is pay>hub proximity>age>if you’re a white male. Am I close? lol
Jeremy Legg’s Wave 2 impacted workers:
153 people in Wave 1 made the decision to follow the work. 108 people (about 70%) have not moved or plan to move, with the exception of perhaps the occasional commute. Legg's leadership has repeatedly stated that they have no interest in reviewing... — read more
Culture
When they say culture needs to change… what they are really saying out with the people that built this place and in with the new youngsters, DEI hires, and liberals. They are more interested in social engineering than running a solid business.
No RTO for me
worked 24 years remote for ATT, always great performance reviews and raises...F RTO... Is Gas expensive? How much extra personal time does RTO rob from you? Do you FEEL more productive ...or just feel like an a ss kisser?
There was a time when AT&T treated me well
Too bad its been decades since that's been true. How the mighty have fallen.
Contract Expirations can't come soon enough
I can't wait to go on strike. The time off will be nice.
What is next benefit that AT&T will take away?
Most likely T will stop pension benefit for these who still have it. Any other ideas?

Jeremy Legg RTO Plan
My favorite part is that we can have coworkers who live in a totally different country but having coworkers who live in a different US state? OH THE HORROR!!
Take Jeremy Legg's presentation as a warning: union up
One of Legg's claims from yesterday's presentation on Reclaiming Technical Talent is that the international employees are the same as everyone else. This is a lie. The cost of living in India is cheaper, which makes labor cheaper. That does not make... — read more
New Job Titles
Anyone know why the area manager title was replaced with the title of associate director?
No guilt, no regrets
I left a month ago for lower pay but a better culture and work-life balance. I'm loving it.
