John was giving Randall the reach around during
All the acquisitions and debt accumulation. Don't forget John Stankey knows more about Television than anyone but he missed the class on Cord Cutting.
For all you Pious Good Little ATT Soldiers
Casting your morals on those who have mailed it in.....Su-kers! The way you think about me is the way Stankey and his minions view you. Milk this cow for all that it is worth and cash those checks and collect the benefits. Leadership would toss you... — read more
Stankey says
Stankey said the best talent comes from CA because that’s where he’s from. Nowhere can you find someone more capable of placing AT&T into the level of debt that Stankey has done. It requires special level of, well I'm at a loss for words at this... — read more
Good Article from Business Insider
Here's my favorite part: "And if, as some have suggested, the return-to-office push is an attempt at a "soft layoff" — instituting unreasonable policies to make people quit (or accept severance) — it's corporate cowardice. It's restructuring a... — read more

RTO is dead
That didn’t take long. Majority aren’t coming in and the rest leave after swiping. This place is a clown show.
AT&T can't fail
That's the tragedy of it all. No matter how badly Stankey and his cohort sc--w up, there will still be a company left. It might not be as big, or as good, or as popular, but there will still be a company standing. That's why they're so confident even... — read more

I don't know why some of you get so invested
Most of you won't be with AT&T within a year. Some will be fired, some will be laid off, and some will leave on their own, but I'm guaranteeing you that the majority will be gone. There's no point in getting invested in what's happening with the... — read more

AT&T HR Chief Is Leaving as Company Cuts Thousands of Jobs
Here is a blast from the very recent past, it’s informative for those who want a news report and not an anonymous post. Skeptical of both these days, too much opinion and not enough factual reporting in the news. Santone left at the end of September... — read more

Verizon, AT&T subscribers ask a court to reverse T-Mobile's acquisition of Sprint
Its sad that these two once invincibles continue to hope that crying and layoffs will make up for their poor business decisions. https://www.phonearena.com/news/verizon-and-at-t-subscribers-sue-t-mobile-over-sprint-purchase_id152273
How did you find out about this site?
A coworker sent it to me over the summer. I passed it on to two other coworkers. How did you find out? Google search? Coworker? Word of mouth? Water cooler?
Wave 2
Hearing wave 2 letters coming in March. Anyone else? That seems a bit off from the 18-24 month timeline given last year.
T's L3 and Above Bonuses Seem To Be Blood Money
Basically, it's leadership's bounty on the livelihoods of the heads they cut. They dug AT&T into a very deep financial hole and they need the hits to keep on comin' so they can bail themselves out. Or maybe I'm being a bit negative.
Cost per employee versus competition
Basically talking Verizon and know Tmob is not Union (and they are still cutting people) but would still be interested if that information is available. Perhaps this isn’t the proper phrasing of the question but wondering how we compare on a cost... — read more
How much longer?
Will we have to wait for Stankey to leave? Why is he hangin' around? He can always come back as a consultant for $1M per year like Stephenson. I just don't understand why he stays on, perhaps it's the toturing of the rank and file that he enjoys. I... — read more

Isn't it about time?
Big dogs at at&t just got a big pay adjustment. What about us? The managers L1 - L3, we deserve at least a 15% bump now. We've earned it by carrying out Stankey's poor and failing processes and tasks. Rank and file are well cared for, now it's time... — read more

60 day Warn Act
Does anyone know why AT&T didn’t grant the WARN act to employees surplussed? Has anyone had success in getting it? I read that we should get paid for 60 days if more than 100 employees were laid off. Any advice??
Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate you.

Surpluses, rightsizing, spreading the peanut butter, increase span & control, etc…
