On behalf of all managers in Dallas, Atlanta and Jersey, AND ALL OTHER LOCATIONS, we demand an apology and your immediate resignation. Your closing comments on your town hall this 8th of April were unprofessional, reprehensible, and completely... — read more
Broken Average Hours report will update tomorrow
Are you ready? Will it be accurate? Of course not! Will they take time away from your presence by creatively rounding your minutes? Not to mention the time you spend looking for parking and a place to sit, will you ever get that time back?
Accelerated downsizing
How is it possible that AT&T has so many unprofessional employees still on payroll after the surplus activities? I see people here night and day publicly trashing the company.
Supply Chain Surplus
Pre notification surplus given yesterday in supply chain for WA, CA, and MO. Some will be backfilled in Dallas and Atl, some will not.
Security Key
I’m a hard pass on driving my personal vehicle an hour round trip to pick my security key. I gotta keep my average hours looking good! But you can bring it to me, if it’s that important to YOU.
Wow, there is hardly any activity on this site today . . .
Its almost as if the moderator is deleting posts. The post about deleting posts from this weekend has been deleted.
McSelfish open Mic
Who’s going to ask the tough questions? Where do you feel the company culture and employee satisfaction are at today? Where’s the McKinsey survey results? Employee morale is at an all time low. What’s leaderships plan to change that? Post... — read more

Anyone really know what's going on and what the outcome will be?
WFH still works
WFH still works. I have proof because i’m doing it right now. All the kings horses and all the kings men, can go pi$$ off because nobody in our org has to follow this lame RTO they are still trying to push!

So frustrating
Every time they hire a new "manager," it's like they picked someone at random. No experience needed, apparently. Now the team has to train them while they make calls that set us back months. But hey, what do we know – we're just the guys who do the... — read more

So I got Fired today…
Keeping it short, got fired for Performance. Basically I didn’t offer Wireless on my calls. They told me I wasn’t eligible for Unemployment either. I’m guessing I’m not eligible? It was my fault tbh. Having callers complaining about their bills... — read more
An Open Letter to the Young Employees Trapped in a Dying Relic
Let me paint you a picture of the rotting carcass you’re currently shackled to—a company that’s lost its way so completely it’s become a laughingstock, a fossil in a world that’s passed it by. This isn’t a business anymore; it’s a commodity, a cheap... — read more
D9 offer
Any one know what yards and titles that are getting offered? My local confirmed but hasn't shared information
Real motivating
Just hit 20 years at T and wow – the only "reward" is more work. I heard a coworker was walking out but suddenly stayed. He gave no details, just offered some vague "better offer" talk. Meanwhile, the rest of us grind with zero recognition. Classic... — read more

CWA District 6
Give me one compelling reason to strike. And it ain't work boots and eyeglasses.
To those of you who may get laid off..
I too was once laid off about 6 years ago and I thought it was joever. Nearly had an anxiety attack but with the extra time I had I went back to college and managed to transfer into an Ivy League university. Got my bachelors and entered the labor... — read more
Silent firings due to RTO
Lost someone on our team last week due to nonconformance of RTO policy. Manager was shocked as there was no warning, just a phone call the day off, telling them their employee is being terminated. Remember, we mean nothing to the company, treat your... — read more

Is this another Hawthorne experiment?
Is this RTO just another experiment, similar to the Hawthorne experiment in Illinois? Sure seems like it, is this just another way for at&t to garner publicity? I suppose time will tell, we will have to wait and see.
November 2025 will reset back to 3 days RTO
Just remember, you heard it here first

RTO is a melting candle of life itself
Each morning, we get into our cars and begin the slow unraveling of precious hours, leaving behind the warmth, comfort and love of our family homes. The monotonous grind begins on congested roads, where miles stretch endlessly, a cruel prelude to the... — read more
