Workplace turning into vast wasteland of chaos and confusion
Was it about saving severance or corporate real estate or simply anymore aggressive glidepath to a targeted headcount number? Seems like it would have been far easier to do staggered and targeted severance to get to the numbers in order to have your... — read more
NP&E - Choy letters going out
I’m hearing all of Cheryl Choy’s NP&E teams, outside of Dallas, are getting letters this week mandating their job is in Dallas, and they must move by EOY 2025 to keep their job. Anyone else hearing this?
What if I come back as craft (CWA)? Does that do anything for benefits?
Hi - I left with 25 years of service, and want to hear from our craft friends if CWA's benefits are worth coming back to T for. I could do 3-4 years as craft and call it a career. Curious how badly the Stink is ruining the Union benefits.
For groups still being allowed to 3xRTO . . . the L3 must now report 5x.
I hope they enjoy the couch and floor at work.

Expert Ideas for Collaboration HR take note!
Forcing people back to the office does not automatically force employees to collaborate. Enter ‘Collaboration Agitation’ a project Raindrops initiative, where small ideas create slippery surfaces. ‘Collaboration Agitation’ forces RTO employees to... — read more
AT&T Can’t Dictate Hours Myth
I’ve read over and over that “AT&T isn’t legally allowed to dictate your hours or amount of time in office (M-F, 8-5) because you’re salary” - this simply isn’t true! Have you ever worked in a store as a manager? You literally have a schedule that... — read more
Has anyone been or is Overemployed while at AT&T?
is anyone currently or has been overemployed while working at AT&T? Also, how does it work while being in RTO? I’ve seriously considered it helping to get some serious change into the bank and paying down the house and getting completely debt free. I... — read more

Coffee badged 80% of 2024
No one ever said a peep. Tightened it up for 2025, but testing the system. I can tell just from the amount of people I saw in the office yesterday (Friday) groups are either not RTOing 5 days anymore or people are back to coffee badging. Anyone... — read more

RTO/8 Hours - Serious replies or GTFO
Alright, how strict are they about the RTO? If I’m in the office every day for 5-6 hours, are they really going to enforce the full 8 hours? And are they really tracking LAN usage or is that just a bluff?
Will I get fired (for disobeying) or just laid off if I don't go in the office at all?
I'm been told I must be in the office 5 days a week. I've been told I can take PTO or days off without pay. The office is full of mold and causin massive sickness including me. My doctor told me to work from home which I did with a Job... — read more

Pressure Won’t Bring People Back to the Office. Something Else Might.

Central office
I heard there was a call that announced that in 2025 the numbers of techs working in central offices will be reduced by 2/3. Has anyone heard any details or if the plan is to absorb them outside for the fiber builds?
Two things can be true
Yes, the leaders at T are either incompetent or purposely ruining the company. There are also way more people here than needed to run connectivity services. T could operate just fine at less than half the current staff.
Voluntary exit coming soon to T
After seeing the Fed making an offer and now Google doing the same, its just a matter of time before T offers this to us.. What kind of severance would make you guys say "Im outta here..."
No one ever talks about this
Completely male dominated organizations like construction and engineering are becoming overwhelmingly led by women. Especially Director level up. Can’t wait to see the spin doctors on this topic.
