Wondering if anyone has heard upcoming surplus under Sambar? If so, which department?
Stankey and Stock Price
Stankey has done nothing to increase shareholder value while he pockets $200 million a year. The stock is bracketed between $13.50 to $16.00. It’s essentially a zombie stock!
Anyone else feel completely screwed by AT&T?
Started off as a contractor for Cingular Wireless. Good leadership. I had great bosses there. Became FTE in 2006. Challenging work. Good merit raises. Nobody jacked with my 10% bonus. AT&T brings CW back in house and rebrands it AT&T. My CW... — read more
Offices Empty Today
This must be the most popular WFH day. I guess to get a three day weekend.
Cricket, MVNO, ATT Prepaid to be sold to
Private Equity Firm based in West Palm Beach.
I just don't see Stankey and Crew leading any turnaround
He is there to carve it up and sell it off. No visionary CEO type wants to be part of a hatchet environment to bring the pig to market.
Exa town hall Working together
I was left with her statement…. We won’t guarantee you a chair or a desk so squeezing in where you can is the plan. She did offer her shared office anytime you are in the ivory tower and on the 18th floor. Where the h e l l did we find this BS... — read more
St. Louis Area
How’s things going in the greater St. Louis area sites? It used to be a major operation with One SBC/One AT&T Center, Des Pere, Bridgeton, and other sites. The last I heard was that the St. Louis area sites are barely a skeleton compared to their... — read more
DONT COMPLY WITH RTO - non compliance is winning.
Many level 3+ meetings are happening this week and next week to deal with employees who aren't meeting their required time in the office. RTO noncompliance isn't a small number, and if they wanted to eliminate everyone, it would cripple specific... — read more

Severance pay
Does anyone know how long it takes to receive severance pay? Last day of employment was 9/8.
Former Bellsouth Mobility Cingular Employee
Is there any material benefit to the rule of 75 at this point?
If you want a young workforce is Stankey the pitch man
To get that done? The C Suite and Board must take a daily pill for not seeing their own incompetence. What young talent would want to work for a John Stankey led Leadership Brigade? In today's world they run from this lack of self awareness my way or... — read more
The same problems, same leadership, will all
Exist after these massive layoffs. For every 100 employees you shed, the net cast is shedding high quality employees as well due to ATTs inability to shed true fat. The work will still exist but you will still have a similar ratio of producers and... — read more
What's my Play? Really?
Just received semi-informal email stating I will receive a move letter on 10/18 since I am outside of a 'KNL'. Being asked if I would consider relo (on my dime) and to which location. They are requesting to provide an answer by Friday. Timeline: Oct... — read more
RTO-COVID
how long until RTO locations are swept with new COVID cases? I've heard of two locations on the East coast where numerous employees have been told to stay home after testing positive.
Promotions??
How are some people getting promotions/changes on their titles considering what’s going on around the company?
Morale at all time low because Stankey and Board have not been
Walked up the steps to The Gallows Pole. Remember all of Stankeys Failures aren't listening to experts, buying at peaks, catastrophic breakup fees, massively overpaying for mothballed assets. It is you the employee base for not getting on board the... — read more
I am doing exactly what our Leadership is doing but not what they want
Collecting and scraping together all the gold in my pockets and getting my life preserver before the ship goes down. Milking this stuck sow for all that it is worth before the Tiger Sharks come along and take massive chunks out of it. Gold milk it... — read more
Mid Market Ranker
Does anyone truly know why the mid market ranker is such bull cr-p? There are people in the top 100 that have sold 1 port. WTAF?
There is always worse
This guy is worse than even Stankey. Property developer Tim Gurner says employees have become too arrogant, and that unemployment must rise substantially to lift productivity... “We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that... — read more
RTO - another Stankey Failure
He dictated a policy without adequate data to understand the business implications. It is now shutting down quietly as large teams discover 80% of their employees won’t move. His plan assumed that percentage would be inverted. The the new plan is... — read more
Where are you applying?
Verizon and T-Mobile are also laying people off, as is Comcast and pretty much all other major telecoms. What's left for those of us who are hoping for at least some job security at our next company? With things being the way they are, I honestly... — read more

This is such a toxic workplace
Toxic management, toxic coworkers and toxic policies. I'm desperately trying to get out but I'm worried that it will take me a long time to recover from having worked here. If some potential employees are reading this, RUN. You don't want to work in... — read more
Coming Recession
Will T stock survive coming Recession? Possible depression? Will T stock ever go back up to $20s $30s? Will T go to zero? Sell off to Huawei?
UAW Ford Canada, Teamsters and now the Writers Guild.
SAG AFTRA will be the next. All have gotten favorable contracts. Stankey, are you paying attention? I know you are the smartest guy in any room. Someone told me once that if you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room.
Please support UAW!
This is your future as a member of the workforce in the USA. Telcom workers will go the way of the auto industry. It's important for the UAW to get the best contract for the rank and file, as this will dictate future earnings and benefits for all... — read more
Management Severance Details tied to RTO

What will be our headcount a year from now?
The way Stankey has been playing this, I wouldn't be surprised if we dropped below 100K.
RTO me not
At the moment, I am not in a hub. I was assigned to Dallas, chosen RTO, and am scheduled to be in the office on January 1st. Instead of three times each week, I intend to commute maybe once every month or two. Manager located in Atlanta. I've heard... — read more
