Topics regarding layoffs at AT&T

AT&T in top 30 for revenue but with negative profit which means loss. Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Number of seats

Exactly how many seats do you all think are at these hubs? HA! Demanding ALL of these people to RTO at two hubs is nonsense. Are they going to have cubicles on the lawns under tents? LOL

Will probably resign

Numerous individuals are being instructed to uproot their lives and relocate. Despite working remotely for over 11 years and being located far from the nearest hub, this issue extends beyond those who transitioned to virtual work during the pandemic... — read more

Pretending to be hiring?

If we are short staffed and the company has finally decided to hire someone for a certain position, then why isn't anyone getting hired? I don't believe they are simply being too picky about it. Are they just pretending to be hiring or is there... — read more 

What are these alleged hubs?

My business unit is not actually impacted. I'm pretty horrified looking at some of these posts though. What a cluster. So. Where are you people moving to, theoretically?

Working for AT&T - worse than covid

I went to my physician to get a prescription for anxiety because I haven’t been able to function for the last 2 months since the “announcement”. Never took medication before in my life, not even Tylenol, until now. Was speaking with my doctor and he... — read more

Stankey put us in this position, has the

Nerve to blame the employee base for ATT ills, but still wants me to perform until they figure out whether I get the guillotine or not? Nope I am mentally checked out, have fun suits.

Miller Town Hall Info?

Someone posted here yesterday that the Miller town hall went sideways and was derailed by those in attendance and on the web. Can anyone share details? I’m curious what was being asked, the approach, the tone, reaction etc.

Exceptions Galore

As predicted by the employees, cue all the desperate execs making exceptions to the new RTO ‘policy’ since they didn’t do any sort of real impact study before announcing this unrealistic vision of following Elon into the ‘tough CEO’ style management... — read more 

Virtual Designations

Letters for Legg org went out a few days ago and hearing there were a lot of employees still confirmed as Virtual. Anyone else hear that?

general severance questions

i know there is debate on if severance will be paid … beyond that a few questions if anyone knows 1 is 401 k with holding/match applied to severance? 2 how long does it take to receive payout?

No letters for finance yet

Pathetic backstabbing leadership holding on for life for the pathetic people they are because it’s a quarter. Karma will get these disgusting people.

RTO letters

I am seeing posts that RTO use passive words when mentioning severance. I suggest that no one signs this trap. The company is going to use your signature that you agreed without a set amount, meaning any amount of any can’t be legally disputed. Tell... — read more

Productivity Plummet

Has anybody else’s productivity plummeted? It’s hard to focus wondering if I will even have a job at the end of the month(s) or year. I don’t think the company will fall apart when some of us are gone but I do think there is a slow screeching brakes... — read more 

Letters going out on Friday, June 30
