All he was saying was that older employees, who happen to have many years of knowledge and expertise, are retiring and it's sad to see them go. You people just like to invent controversy.

Former Fiber Rep - We were instructed to sell APBA service that was not market-ready. Not only was there a shortage of devices, but features like VOICEMAIL didn't function properly. I ended up receiving over $8k in chargebacks for orders that were... — read more 

some of us CWA members at Leg T will be celebrating the surplus announcement as we take the VTP - which saves jobs for younger workers with less seniority - a win/win/win deal.

It's not the first time I've heard that people find it easier to handle the stress of being jobless and looking for a new job rather than working here. Isn't that just sad?

Man AT&T sounds depressing and everybody on this board is miserable. 🎶We can build a factory, and make misery🎶

First time in history that T-Mo has reported a lower churn rate than AT&T. No way around this potential problem other than investment in network and pricing. Bummer for the big boys. “AT&T’s churn rate was 0.79% in the recent quarter. This was 4... — read more

Demography, all the brains are in India now.

I think it's time for the HQ workers to call for a union. The RTO is clearly just another effort to surplus employees. For the workers that are left, its like the wild west to fight for parking and a desk somewhere in the building. We should... — read more

This is AT&T and if you are going to be surplussed you need to know now that your boss is your boss and not your friend. And he probably had a hand in you being picked to go unless your whole team was chosen. You need to call HR and report the things... — read more 

For wave 1 people - if you don't move you're off payroll before November 2. If you find another job before then, even on November 1, you can leave but you won't get severance.

Someone can confirm this but I think employees are vested in the company's 401k matching contribution once they are at AT&T for 5 years OR if they turn 65. My question is do you get the 401k match if you get laid off - oh, I mean surplussed :/ -... — read more

There has been a lot mentioned about the MOA protecting union workers inside and outside from layoffs. When in 2024 does it expire? Does it only apply to the SE region?

No so-called leader from AT&T can survive in the real world. Even the Lily actress got smacked with the AT&T sh-t stick and is stuck doing these lame commercials.

I know they will justify less benefits or layoffs as a result of this controversy.

Fearless Leader Stankey or... Murray the amorphous cartoon blob that gives away mousepads for not being an imbecile with sensitive company information?

So, does anyone know what the solution will be for craft people? Everyone is hearing unsubstantiated rumors but nothing factual. Outside techs, inside techs?

A leaked email says all their jobs are moving to Dallas or ATL by the end of 2024; no revisiting, no looking at data, the jobs are moving. It's been fun watching this organization litterly burn itself to the ground.

AT&T strives to be a sweat shop of widget producers.

Why is it when tv & internet orders are placed and the box for tech assistance is also checked - our installers fail to do their job ? They need to get off their high horse and pull their cranium out of their external exit cavity region.

Goes well on top after the peanut butter is completely spread on. Now they just need to spread more on the upper crust, the bottom and middle has been covered.

Since it is obvious that the company wants to quickly reduce the number of employees, why not offer a voluntary severance package? I believe that the numbers of people who would accept it would be significant.

With VPs leaving - starting with Santone and William Stovall and others coming, any major announcements about re-orgs?
