Company isn’t competent enough to properly track presence. Tired of being questioned because they are incompetent.

John and Jeff you both have found yourself in scenarios where you’re making 20 to $30 million a year… You have two options at feet that is option one.) You can keep on the your same path and find yourselves at the lowest of ranks of CEOs and CEOO’s... — read more 

Please stop copying and pasting each other’s “heartfelt” Thanksgiving greetings expressing your phony gratitude and what not. It’s making us sick. Sincerely Everyone

Sure they want attrition, but the amount of people I've seen arriving late and leaving early has ruined it for the rest of us who are putting in the time. I realize most of us are less productive in the office, space is limited and many don't have... — read more 

AT&T should increase efforts to remove these employees who make a minimal contribution and in doing so encourage others to quiet quit through either passive or active means. We've lost so many truly productive contributors over the past few years. We... — read more 

My COU will be off at 5. Working 8 to 5 is not giving less to the company, it is a full work week. That is exactly what they are telling us they want: five full days in the office. That is not flexible and I am no longer a flex worker, therefore I... — read more 

Last time I went to a phone store was last week. the stores are empty. I also don't buy new phones online either. So the demand is not there for any telco. The telco revenue must continue to drop. So as old people pass away, the phone lines will... — read more

Retired now but log in occasionally. Lots of layoff and relo chatter. Just wondering if any of that has impacted management employees (L1,L2,L3) in Milwaukee area. ???

That will REALLY show them. The company may never recover from your absence. The stock price will likely plummet. Everyone will talk for 50 years about the terrible toll that was taken on the company due to you getting fired because you would not... — read more 

If they want me back to office 5 days a week, I will fully respect office hours. No more overtime, availability at all times of day and in the evenings, and definitely no extra effort.

If you are in a hub location you get coffee, soft drinks, and food. If you outside of a hub you are lucky to get toilet paper, trash pickup, and hand soap. People in both hub and non hub locations get treated poorly though.

Our HRAVP leaders tell us we need to start coming in 5 days and work our full 8 hours in addition to doing 4 store visits a month because we were the worst team on the presence report. Only then to be told by our VP that we can have a flexible... — read more

That the company isn't going to RTO everyone 5 days a week. You think managers in 5 day workgroups are going to want to compete for new hires with part time office workgroups? They will never hear the end of it and in turn C-Suite will never hear the... — read more

Name a single redeeming quality the Stank has. I'll also take any answer on how The Stank inspires you to be a better employee or even better human in general.

Pretty easy to look up main Telecom analysts that ask Q on each quarterly earnings call. Employees should write emails to them asking why is it that AT&T SHOULD be a progressive communications company and the trailblazer of new ways to use our own... — read more 

The biggest gripe is having to work in minimal space like animals. If you want 5 days give people cubicles.

Dear John, sending you positive vibes this thanksgiving! Your talking fork was so Fun!! Unfortunately for most employees, visiting a food bank is more likely than donating to some VPs pet charity. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the... — read more

First to go will be competent and skilled people who can easily find a job elsewhere. Any wholesale attrition tactics primarily cause shedding of a talent. The most persistent will mostly be the ones you actually need to get rid of, because they have... — read more

Will it keep up with inflation

Any idea where we stand in terms of company bonus? (ATS specifically, but most of it is companywide.). Usually these updates have gone out in early November after 3Q earnings are announced in late October but I haven't seen anything yet.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If someone starts a discussion with a union, I’d be very interested in what they have to say. Collective bargaining is the law and there is nothing they can do to stop us from joining... — read more

Jeremey Legg once said on a town hall that RTO was not about laying people off and if he wanted to do that he would just lay people off. BWAAAHAAHHAAAHHHAAA!!! That statement didn’t age well. He sat up on the stage all flustered that we kept asking... — read more
