The stock price continues to languish and there is no significant progress on debt reduction.
Is yesterday’s webcast available?
Does anyone know if a recording of the webcast is available yet? I don’t see it on the insider
Where is the recording?
Why hasn’t the webcast been posted yet? What is taking so long? PR and video editors must be old and inefficient. Too bad we don’t have some college grads who represent our demographic posting it on TikTok.

Hardly any of Executives Compensation is tied
To share price. Stankey burnt through over $100B of shareholder wealth and will be playing catch-up forever. Don't forget it's all you mouths to feed that are the crux of the problem.
Class Action Lawsuit
The comments made yesterday regarding the now confirmed effort to replace senior employees with younger talent more in touch with our target demographic were completely inappropriate. In fact, one could allege cause for violation of ADEA and any... — read more

Hiring Managers
Can anyone confirm if Central Hiring Managers were surplus today? Rumor mill in the West is a few were notified today.
He said the quiet part out loud
That's how incompetent he is.
It's not layoffs or job cuts to make exec bonuses, it's headcount rationalization to restore balance to the universe
Calling it "rationalization" is not "calling it what it is." That poor audience. McElfresh said, "I see nodding heads out there, you know what I'm talking about, we're a team." (Something like that.) Then the camera pans to the audience, sitting... — read more
I couldn't "stomach" it today
Literally, mins after Stankey started talking I had to turn it off. I'm not sure what was more nauseating: listening to him recite all of the reasons why he should keep his job or watching all of the sheep in the audience nod their heads in agreement... — read more
Please someone say they recorded his discriminatory comments
Someone must have posted on YouTube!
What was the purpose of having Arnoldi on stage?
Aren’t her customer care agents being replaced by virtual agents using AI technology? Do we really need an Officer overseeing machines? What was she talking about? I don’t remember anything she said.

What Exactly Did Stankey Say That Smelled So Bad ?
Can someone fill me in on EXACTLY what he said ? And how does this not get recorded to watch ?. Show the video
Is the Board so out of touch that they are fanning the flames of
A massive employee gone postal moment? It is beyond surreal how Stankey insults long tenured employees as if Betty Boop at age 23 out of UCLA can replace someone. Does he not consult with Legal?
RTO
If you don't meet RTO completely, what happens next, layoff? do you get severance?
When Layoffs Can Lead to Age Discrimination: What You Should Know

This is no longer a job I once enjoyed
I think that many of those who are now looking for a way out because they can no longer bear this place, at some point in the past actually really enjoyed working here. I am definitely one of them. How did they manage to turn this into a place... — read more
Let's see if Stanks thoughts on the age of his workforce makes the official recorded replay.
Guarantee you someone in legal sh-t themselves as he was waxing poetic on the need for a younger workforce when talking about layoffs. To those of you ninny's just dismissing this....IT'S ILLEGAL. You can think this, you can plan it covertly... — read more
AGE DISCRIMINATION at its finest

Predictions?
Anyone have predictions for what's gonna happen soon? Re-org announcements are coming. More cuts necessary.
What is worse?
When the street punishes shareholders for anemic/ poor financials or basically just stops paying attention to you altogether? Asking for a friend.
Recommendations to newly hires
Any recommendations to those who have been in the company for 1-2 years?
COVID making comeback with RTO?
We passed it between each other with earlier RTO. With overcrowding now the norm I suspect we’ll do the same again?
Credit & Collection call center closures
Any news on when call centers will be surplused?
Leave on your own terms
My opinion/advice: if you feel vulnerable to what is happening, starts looking and interviewing for outside positions. As a former manager, I saw the writing on the wall in November. I got to work on networking and found a position externally I had a... — read more

Your Head Counts
you are counted by accountants and your number has been called to be cut like a fa-t in the wind while your screams meaninglessly echo through canyons of whispering widgets of unending digits
Is it time. Stephenson in a Forbes article stated the plan was to put all of us on Obama care!
Randell stated the company intended to put all employees on Obama care once the kinks were out of it. Isn’t that wonder boy still on our payroll?
CNBC Cramer weighs in..
“Walk away from it. That company is as poorly managed as any company I've ever seen in my lifetime." Ouch. But more layoffs and RTO will fix it, yes?
Folks you don't rebound from 3 Colossal Strategic
M&A's that occurred during a decade. There is far too much debt and still a company, brand, and captain that are toxic. The Telco SBC Boys always thought they were the smartest in the room. The most dangerous leaders are those who don't know what... — read more
A cure for low morale
I don't think the management has much interest in raising morale here, but I still wonder if it would be possible to do something about it and how, considering how much the company has degenerated?
Most of the Pro RTO Posts are from Paid Social Media Influencers
ATT employs these people the same way a political campaign does to spin and mold opinion. They are all over this website every single day spinning a web of lies and half-truths. Keep that in-mind when you read stuff that smells like a big stinky pile... — read more
