Is this going to be exclusive with AT&T?
Jeremy made it clear outsourced "employees" will be replacing some of us.
So it was kinda of comical to see that chart of all our new "overseas co-workers",, the fact he had to stress this labor pool is "employees" not outsourced , pretty much confirms what it really is . The other laughable tidbit was defending this... — read more
Wouldn't it be funny if AT&T needed a contingency plan... for the contingency plan?
Despite AT&T HR calling you "managers," a lot of you are not supervisors per the definition of the NLRA (11) The term "supervisor" means any individual having authority, in the interest of the employer, to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall... — read more
A note to Jeremy
As a leader, when you're asked to do things that are immoral, illegal, or conflict with your values, it's your duty to do the right thing, put your foot down and say NO. Even if you have to quit your job to prove the point, at least you will walk... — read more

Jeremy’s townhall
“If you don’t like it, leave” beatings will continue until morale improves. It's very fun to see that guy perspire profusely. Asking workers to quit won't raise morale within the company—in fact, you'll only have three left. He must leave! — read more
Deferred Severance hitting today
For those surplused last year and deferred payment to this year. As others have said, net payment about half of gross. Need to wait another year to get your tax refund for the remainder of your money
Why is AT&T constantly undergoing reorgs?
I can't remember a time when there was not a reorg happening, and I've been here a while. Is the leadership truly that incompetent that after any reorg is done we immediately have to start another one to fix what was messed up in the previous one?... — read more
