RTO is a Hit
Glad to see so many of my teammates back in the office.
The company doesn't owe you, you don't owe the company
An employee-employer relationship is transactional. Employee works, employer provides benefits such as an hourly wage, salary, commissions, bonuses, benefits, etc. Either one can terminate the employment at any time (excluding bargained, but even... — read more
Hi, this is AskAT&T! What would you like to know?
Q: Hi AskAT&T! Long time listener, first time caller. Listen, I keep hearing that AT&T is about to default on debt, having stock downgraded, having massive layoffs, but what can be done to fix all of these problems. A: [Beep, Boop, Bee-Bee, Boop... — read more
Can some one please explain how layoffs...
Ok so I wanted to ask from people who have gone through it and survived or not survived.. what are the typical events that happen? Does it start with a team call and announce layoffs in that org/team? And if so, is HR on that call or not? And do they... — read more
You are investing too much energy into something you cannot change
People are disappointed and unsatisfied, but most forget that the company doesn't care, nor does it care about our opinions. When did any of our opinions change anything here for the better? It's never happened. Maybe therefore it is better to... — read more
Have to love offices full of poeple...
...all wearing headsets and on conference calls. Yay, collaboration! Also, stop moving people's stuff during lunchtime! About to bring a Kingston cable lock and lock my sh-t down!

John Stankey IS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
https://investors.att.com/corporate-governance/board-of-directors everybody complains about why BOD won't get rid of him. nobody bothers to look up that he is PART of the BOD. Hate to say it but maybe that's part of the fat he wants to cut.
One easy fix to start uphill - new CEO
Not sure why the major stockholders aren’t pressuring the BOD to oust Stankey (maybe they are privately?) After the nonsense with R.Stephenson buying up everything like a kid in a candy store and J.Stankey storming into HBO like a bully and driving... — read more
He is the Man
Since Stinki does not want to pay for the agreement T already had in 2021, with California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, an environmental group when sued to remove two lead-clad cables in Lake Tahoe. In a 2021 settlement, in which AT&T didn't... — read more
Occupancy indicator
What does NAL occupancy indicator stand for? Just noticed mine changed
Adapt, overcome and prevail.
Quit belly aching and do something about your situation. This is another reason our whole country is in decline. And the autocratic countries are watching us closely. We have all been spoiled for too long. Prove me wrong.
T RTO - "Come in 3-5 days." Townes - "You vill be IN the office ALL 5 dayz!!"
Seems pretty clear CT wants to make his org as miserable as he can so he can drive people out. Maybe going for that year-end bonus or trying to win a few side bets.
Hoorah! Back in action
Thanks John!
The Current RTO Process is Unsustainable
Although I don't agree with "RTO" on general principles, I do understand why some companies are asking employees to return to the office. However, the way AT&T is going about it is ridiculous. Employees who are expected to work in the office full... — read more

Surprise AVP visit
Wondering if any offices have experienced surprise AVP visits. Brookfield, WI, currently has a complete surprise visit from Exa Whiteman underway. Have other offices experienced similar visits?
Someone here called it ....
Sure enough. Today we hear from Stank after a long silence, and I am sure much legal review, on the lead clad cable issue...as predicted, he is using this issue (solely, apparently) to explain the poor stock performance. "...has created uncertainty... — read more

I haven't had lunch the last 2 weeks in the office
I'm afraid to leave my desk because some one may steal my belongings and personal property. I'm terrify someone may steal or switch my chair. I sit on my chair throughout the day and forgo lunch.
OSHA and Fire Code Violations
I keep hearing posts where people are saying no reservations exist, people are working in hallways, and offices are overcrowded. If this is the case, it is up to you to do something about it: If the office is over capacity, contact the fire... — read more

Why now?
After being in the ground for decades, doesn't it seem oddly coincidental that a story about lead shielded cables is released when the stock is hitting levels not seen in decades? Could it be intentional manipulation to drive the stock price down... — read more
