I simply badge swipe in the morning and head home right after lunch. No skin off my nose. Executives are donkeys. They have lost all support from the troops. I just do the bare minimum and cash the check baby. ATT has turned into a factory punching a... — read more
RTO going Forward
CEO Stankey wants everyone in the office (RTO) from now on going forward.
Why ever do another survey?
All the feedback anyone would ever want is right here on this website. Summary: All employees are miserable here
The clown show continues
Here we are at the end of another week and this company is even more bat sh-t crazy than it was the month before. Hang in there everyone
Stop with the pre/post covid rhetoric
The overwhelming majority of people here “pre-covid” were never required to be in an office 5 days, ever. It was always 1-3 times per week or fully virtual. If you were required to be in an office 5 days a week before Covid, then you probably still... — read more
Disease and illness Everywhere
In T offices all across the country. RTO is a disease super spreader. Offices are not sanitized, or cleaned at all in any capacity. People cough and sneeze all over a desk and then sit at a different one the next day and do it all over again. It’s... — read more
RTO su-ks
Nobody likes it, it’s not an industry standard or any kind of standard. 70% of companies still operate as hybrid. Anyone who says otherwise is just a lying troll. RTO is the sign of a financially doomed company.
New broken presence report
The new broken presence report will be used to fire people who dont have 8×5 in office. It doesn't give credit for holidays, vacation or caregiver leave. Prepare yourself.
Four Day Weekends
Our four day weekends are gone. I miss them too. It was good while it lasted. We have to get used to it like Pre Covid. 😞
Open for Beverage
Right now. Come get a drink on me here right off of Cooper St. in GP, Tx. Free booze here in the cold. I "banked" my work over the last few days and am spending the day in the cab of my heat mobile DRINKING. Booze window is closed but the libation... — read more
I just quit and left everyone hanging
They said how could you do something like that, you have to finish up things, people don't know what you do, you will tarnish your reputation. Nahhh I am good here's my notice and I am checking out now. Adios Muchachos and Muchachas. When you bank it... — read more
91% of Gen Z say they want a balance between in-person and remote work
Literally no one likes RTO. And 70% of companies still operate in a hybrid model. Nobody is supporting 5x8. 3 days was more than enough to pretend like there’s “collaboration”. RTO 5x8 is nothing more than a layoff. Don’t be fooled.
Working here now makes me sick
Calling out sick today to protest the sh---y conditions created for employees through fear, intimidation, and micromanagement
RTO crying decrease
Tracking tool shows people are complying to RTO. The "cryometer" has seen a reduction in whining,
DODGE
Please come to AT&T and the rest of corp world and slam them for the out sourcing of the call centers n more!

I wonder what happened?
AT&T to lose FirstNet contract to Starlink/T-Mobile JV
Sent the better part if the last decade fighting to get police, fire and local governments to drop their Verizon mobile phones and switch to poorly designed FirstNet billing only to get word that Elon Musk is leveraging a combined T-Mobile / Starlink... — read more
Presence Report
Who took down the Presence Report?
New culture building activity
Bring your sleeping bag to the office! Spend the night! Like a night at the museum but it’s at the office! What fun!
Donovan?
What's he up to?
I have seen plenty of Directors and AVPs as
Well as middle management in their flashy rides and dual income McMansions. One income goes it's all a house of cards. Stay lean and mean young g-ns and save your money.
Those in their 40s - 60s hanging in there
If you are waiting for severance you haven't saved enough and taken advantage of a great bull market during your working career. That's on you. It is all too common in America that people in corporations who have made great salaries with benefits and... — read more
BFS techs has no worries.
Wire techs and Digital Techs are going to be combined since it is pretty much same job now. The T1s are few and far between so that skill is not in high demand anymore. I was a DT, so I know. The DTs can learn GPON tips from WTs. And WTs learn ASE... — read more
Why do we need executives?
They obviously are all "leading" from the same playbook. IBM's plans sure sound familiar :/. Just outsource executive positions to McKenzie/Blackrock/etc, since they are the ones obviously calling the shots... — read more
Laid off last year and bonus
Got let go last May and I saw someone mention the bonus is 114%, is that accurate? Will the bonus just show up in our bank account on March 6th like usual, do we have to do anything extra?
Cleaning up the Books for Private Equity
The buyout will occur within 3 years and if they are smart will rid themselves of the ATT name. Whitacre, Stephenson, and Stankey should be white washed from the record books and never mentioned. They have to rid themselves of their legacy... — read more
Constant uncertainty
Working for T gives a great paycheck but it came with a lot of uncertainty and anxiety, with constant office location changes and fear of job loss if you are not a good performer. You never know where to stay as it affects your commute by miles and... — read more
Layoff Message Massaging
I suspect that this website is bought and paid for by T with social media influencers/admins tasked to twist and sl--t posts intentionally and/or simply delete posts which uncover and reveal truths the company would prefer remain in the closet.
I recently got a Pulse Survey . . .
It was only about 10 questions -- much shorter than the annual survey we used to get. I hammered the company on the questions, especially the "How likely am I to recommend AT&T to others". I know the company does not really care but I enjoyed... — read more
Why does AT&T continue to push their DEI agenda under a different name?
I had a one on one with my manager on Tuesday and he wanted me to make a verbal commitment to "foster the ideals of inclusiveness" in 2025. I asked him what that term means to him and he flipped it back by asking what it meant to me. I told him I... — read more
AT&T RTO Guarantee
I guarantee Stank gonna fire us even after we come to the office!
Average presence report
Does anyone actually know how leadership is planning to utilize this report?
Theory on why the RTO reports are so bad
A theory - the RTO reports have poor data quality because the engineers responsible for building them are deliberately not trying. They’d rather be doing anything else. Who can blame them?
If you work anywhere or any time outside the office
Then you’re just wasting your time and will get no recognition for it. New PBI data report proves only time in the office is being accounted for, and that is all they care about. You’re clowning yourself anytime you log in from home. — read more
5-day x 8h RTO to be heavily enforced for attrition purposes
So its pretty clear how next month will play, out for the rank and file, you can bet to get immediate naughty list warning, for clocking in at less than 39.99hrs , those warnings will then lead to disciplinary and eventually dismissals. Starting... — read more
50 and older
If you are 50 and older please do us all a favor and leave or retire. Millennials and Gen Z’s don’t have time to show you guys how to create pivot tables or help you understand simple formulas in excel. Thank you
