If you have the desired skills or kiss the right a, you too could get on the RTO exemption list. I found out half my group is not going to be required to meet their 5 day requirement. D-mba me should have come up with my own "obligation". ... — read more
Can’t possibly comply with 5-day RTO
Distance is prohibitive. Oh well, I guess I’ll be one of those the attrition will work on perfectly and immediately.

‘The Texas Flea’
This just in: AT&T policy that forced employees from across the country to relocate to Dallas and Alpharetta, inadvertently consolidated the companies angriest adversaries and unstable minds. The CEO and CTO now walk amongst a concentrated... — read more

Audit the Supervisors
You know, since I’ve come back to work after stepping away from AT&T, I’ve started to see things in a whole new light. The way management runs things these days is just ridiculous. Over the years, I’ve moved all around the country, ending up here in... — read more
Virtual no more
The big kahunas are saying that virtual jobs are going away. Any idea when?
MGO Town Hall
Loads of the usual happy talk but not a word about RTO and no questions. Not the best use of an hour IMO. Any other thoughts?
Did you know that
Did you know that a Telecommunication company uses a reflection technology to duplicate all incoming global traffic and sends that stream to an undisclosed government destination. Those IP packets are sniffed and tagged in real time using AI and... — read more
I am a “NVW” worker for the last year and just received notice from my boss they will be requesting I move to Dallas by June 2025.
Anyone else hear something similar? I’m freaking out.

Rumor has it all virtual jobs are going away. Any idea when? This is coming down from the big kahunas.

Demand that your raise percentage matches Stankey’s. RTO is already a wage reduction by itself.
Any updates on Chicago locations?
Is Chicago safe this year or bust?
Don’t want to quit AND don’t want to RTO 5 days? You have options:
Work your 8 hours 5 days a week and nothing more. Spend your time in the office socializing. Productivity is a thing of the past. “Collaboration” is all that matters, so treat everyday like it’s a social and don’t be afraid to miss meetings because... — read more
January RTO
I really hope this 5 day RTO crashes and burns. So I'll be showing up to sit on the floor just like the Stink wants me to. I want to see it go terribly so Stank has to tell everyone that we're going back to a better work/life balance. I wish he'd... — read more

Why no accounting of projects?
Why no accounting of projects? Are projects a vehicle for money laundering? It seems many projects go on forever and never fulfill their intended purpose. With the inefficiency sniffers out in full force it would stand to reason that projects that... — read more
Management failings are everywhere
When management teams are built on cronyism and nepotism, without considering if people actually have the skills or attitude to do the job, they tend to rely on politics, micromanagement, and favoritism. This issue is rampant at AT&T. With a... — read more

BAT & Platinum
Heard from a few credible sources that BAT Mobility and Platinum Mobility will soon have a Wired goal as well. Good luck with that. This is literally like having two full time jobs. Again, good luck with that.
Far too many hanging on at ATT because they
Lived far beyond their means. They are chained to their paychecks. I know this woman with dual income who bought a $1M+ home in SW Florida during Covid and then commuted in the short term to Atlanta. It all blew up on her with combination of RTO... — read more

Of course there were more layoffs this past week
We’ve been having silent layoffs all the time outside official rounds. They are intent on getting rid of as many of us as they can get away with while still raking in the profits. Expect more silent layoffs, attrition tactics, and every other thing... — read more
