Since I'm going to be laid off, can I reject the review given to me by my jerk manager?

A lot has already been said and written here about bad management, but their attitude that we should be grateful that we have a job never ceases to amaze me. Really??? They don't think we're so incompetent that we can't find any other option, do... — read more 

Basically says , I have to relocate to Dallas before end of the year. Severance offer will be sent “ sometime in the near future”. Basically being held hostage. BAU

Unfortunately, it never feels like enough, because the work culture is so toxic, you always want to be away. The higher you go up the management tree, the less trustworthy and knowledgeable the people are. They treat employees like nothing more than... — read more 

Any guesses?

If there's a reorg in Legg's org, when will it most likely happen? After Sept 1 when RTO finalizes?

And he knows it making him more desperate and dangerous. I wouldn’t follow him to the fire escape in a raging inferno.

Within 1 year RTO will fail miserably, and organizations will quietly return to a more flexible work/life experience. Do you know how many times I’ve been forced back into the office, only for them to completely reverse course a few months later?... — read more 

This is such bullsh-t

I've now read a few articles that are calling out Stankey and the entire ELT on their mishandling of AT&T. I know it doesn't make much difference in the grand scheme of things, but it is refreshing to see them clobbered by the media instead of having... — read more

Im due back at the office in two weeks; every childcare agency within 10 miles of my house has a waitlist for 6-12 months. Great Timing, AT&T. Thanks for the 12 weeks of maternity leave, but now I'll be pumping from the women's restroom while only... — read more 

Heard through the grapevine that come July 2023 AT&T remote workers will be forced back into the office and by November 2023, any workers who are not in a hub city will be required (in order to maintain employment) to work in a hub city.

I work for AT&T. Here’s why you should never buy anything from AT&T except via self service online.

Would appreciate any honest insight. 3 weeks ago I was given a nudge to look into and possibly join this organization but now I'm not sure if they are also getting blown-up

Calls went out at 11am this morning to all SWAT, FIBER SALES TEAMS, and FIBER EVENT TEAMS in the Florida Market. They have cut all the teams and created an entire new team call SALES EVENT LEAD. The open positions have already began to show up on the... — read more

This is the worst I have ever seen AT&T treat its employees. We are clearly hated by executive leadership and viewed as a drain on resources. Meanwhile, they are the drain with their golden parachutes..

Anyone have any news on the company possibly moving Atlanta and/or Dallas from an N2 to an N3 Geozone classification?

What a disgrace

Haven’t heard from McElf lately. Stankey only talks to Dallas-based GM and above last week. No word from Welday since RTO announced. Legg talks sometimes. Where’s the leadership? Afraid of hearing from your remaining employees?

Was in the upper half of my tier (barely but finally made it there after 20 years). Got laid off, if i get rehired in 6 months will HR honor my salary when i left or will i get offered bottom of the tier and have to work 20 more years to pass the... — read more

A colleague has suggested that retirement eligible people cannot get severance, it has to be either retirement or severance? That doesn’t seem logical to me, does anyone know the answer to this question?

Anyone know of people getting the virtual designation in ATS?

Just got an email from with the subject “Employee Designation & Location Letter”. It’s starting. I’ve been in Atlanta, and remain there; the letter says I’m in-office effective 7/10. No real surprise here but I thought people would like to know. — read more
