If layoff.com keeps deleting everything, maybe we should all go elsewhere
Are we all going to keep posting good information here and do and say nothing when all of the content is routinely deleted? Are we going to let them continue to ban everybody? WTF! All the good posters have been banned and very important topics... — read more
Where Have All The Halos Gone?
Did y’all notice that We’ve converted back from Halo to Mylogins? Who signed off on the contract to convert us to Halo? It was a complete waste of money. Similar to the wasteful money spent on ServiceNow.

Business Customers
Many of you may be seeing the same thing that I am. We're losing lots of Business Customers due to the current Operation Model. Seems no one care. Is the goal to strictly become a Consumer company?
Confused on Guarantee
In all seriousness I’m still confused on what the purpose of rolling that ad campaign out did for any of us. It’s ludicrous to think that being a telecommunications company and promising to provide said telecommunications is driving people to come as... — read more

Leadership Without Honor
Forcing employees to "relocate" or drive two-three hours to keep their job just to turn around and severance them 6 months later is ghoulish behavior. What level of leadership training removes compassion?

Leadership don’t give a sh-t about your RTO concerns
They all still get to WFH. It’s just the serfs and peeons that need to come into the office. It’s a typical case of do as I say and not as I do. Therefore culture will continue to su-k here and we won’t be able to retain good talent. Good luck... — read more

Dogs. Nothing but Dogs.
That about describes all of leadership, the projects they fund, and the contractors that su-k off of them.
Does the current culture and layoff activity in AT&T harm customers, and are there any concrete examples?

Driving Back Home for the weekend from Alpharetta to Nashville
