Will AT&T keep it’s headquarters in a state that has a total ban on abortion? Will it pay travel expenses for Texas employees to go to another state for an abortion and will the insurer cover it? Will employees in Texas get the same healthcare... — read more
Anyone embarrassed to admit you worked for at&t?
Among friends and family, I used to feel somewhat proud to have worked at at&t. Not anymore, I never admit to working at at&t, If asked, I reply that I worked in telecom. I have to admit it's now embarrassing to admit to anyone, Thanks Stephenson and... — read more
Why is AT&T not on the list of big tech companies supporting women's health?
Others have said will pay employee's travel expenses for health care. So far silence with AT&T. https://nordot.app/913260698073759744?c=592622757532812385
Surprise Coming Monday
Surprise tech partnership / strategic alliance coming Monday. We will be #1 again by the end of Q3!
Randy and Stankey's legacy
Thanks to those two clowns, AT&T will be remembered as one of the most mismanaged companies in history. It takes some skill to make so many wrong moves and mess up so many acquisitions in such a relatively short period, but they sure as he-l managed... — read more
Bogus divisions
AI Data science towers. Just sinkholes. Cut them.
Whitaker Award
Great award named after a great CEO. Does anyone think there will be a Stevenson award ? Or a Stenky award ?
What do you want to prove with that indifference?
Always, but absolutely always when there are layoffs or when there is a lot of rumor about layoffs, someone comes here and talks about being completely indifferent about being laid off or not. Why is that? My colleague and a friend was laid off, it... — read more

Any rumors of a strike?
AT&T's Walk Out Policy
If I go to work for a competitor, am I going to be walked out before the 2 week resignation period is over. Some companies will walk you out as soon as you resign and notify them that you are going to work for a competitor (they still pay you for the... — read more
Has the axe fallen in any other areas
of the company or business units? This seems to be just an insignificant impact to the work force. A couple of people here and there amounting to a handfull of layoffs is not really worth noting. If it's impacting several hundred, then that's... — read more
May's minimum present value segment rates are out.
May-22 3.23 4.59 4.69 This will open the eyes of those thinking about retiring and taking the lump sum. And the fed will raise rates a couple more times before November!
Dallas Layoff Notices
Two of my coworkers will be gone end of the month. Both stand up guys and good workers.
Seeing lots of highly educated younger people
Coming in who are useless non value adding employees. They just play the part and play the role of Chief of Staff. They look like Indians running around trying to hunt by chasing deer with a bow trying to hit them over the head. AKA they don't know... — read more
How many ATT store closings are there in 2022?
Is AT&T closing all the small dealer owned stores? Heard most of the closings are downtowns and in the malls. Is that true?
Making others look less capable
The management here often tries to make talented employees look incapable. Why do they do it? Is it in their interest to get the best out of their employees? I don't think it is. How many times have you been in a situation where your boss tried... — read more
Layoffs today?
My boss just got laid off and apparently there are many affected. Anyone else have news?
AT&T boasts terrible decision making, communication, and culture
It's not surprising attrition is as high as it is, it's shocking that more people are not leaving.
Just an observation.
It used to be very common to see multiple at&t vehicles on the road during my travel. Now i hardly see any, maybe once a week ill see a vehicle at a service cabinet. No more digger derricks, reel loaders, rodding units, tractor trailers hauling poles... — read more
Over 50 years old Poll: Are you on track to retire?
I am 54 and I am not. The most recent drop in tech stock values hurt me really bad. I've been trying to save more but it's so hard with the prices of everything going up. I am not sure how things will end up, but right now I am very pessimistic... — read more
Stankey has been very quiet of late.
What's he cooking up? Another merger? Layoffs in the making? Something's about to go down!
ATT 401K vs Pension
Can new management employees can a pension.? I've been at ATT for 2 years now and am hearing alot about pensions. I was just given information about a 401K and company matching. Can I get a pension too?
Solutions can be very simple
I think most of the issues that exist in the company can be resolved very easily. Do you agree? However, why the leadership does not see it that way, I really have no answer.
Lori Andrew Town Hall
Hmmmmm, I wonder what it could be about?
How much longer ?
How long can a company pay field services techs to drive around and do very little work? Term employees are virtually brain dead. What percentage of techs enjoy doing little to no work? Is that rewarding? What about the stockholders that own... — read more
Cancelled my service and moved the numbers
Over to Cricket Wireless. Far superior network and much lower cost than the employee discount.
Lack of skills
I'll be honest, I'm only here because I lack skills to get something better. For a while I was very comfortable here and I didn’t think much about slowly becoming less and less marketable. How to make up for lack of skills in the shortest... — read more
Anybody attend Arnoldi's townhall??
Wasn't a lot of substance - any other opinions? Not very clear on RTO but seems desperate in finding new employees
Quantum Performance Review Feeback for Managers
Does anyone know if Quantum feedback by employees for managers are taken seriously? I think my ATT manager has received bad feedback and wonder if the upper managers look at it and implement change. Or is it just a formality and it's up to the... — read more
Nobody enjoys RTO
Why the return to the office isn’t working Those who want to be remote are upset because they enjoyed working from home and don’t understand why, after two years of doing good work there, they have to return to the office. People who couldn’t wait... — read more
Truth hurts
Most T employees are stagnate in their positions and are no longer as marketable as they would like to be. They're stuck at T not only because they're a little long in the tooth, but also because of their lack of skills that can be used at another... — read more
I'm more productive from home
I'm okay with going back to the office. I'm also okay with going back to the levels of productivity that come with less sleep, more distractions, and zero desire to do anything outside of my regular hours. I'm not sure how loss in productivity (not... — read more
I wonder why more people are not quitting
With so many complainers, you'd think more of them would be looking for new jobs so they could escape the horrible situation at AT&T. Yet when you look at attrition, it's about the same (low) levels as it has always been. What's the point in staying... — read more
Will the company celebrate RTO?
What do you think? Will they have a employee appreciation celebration to welcome everyone back? I hope so, nothing over the top, maybe cake with ice cream. What would you like the company to do?
Who has the most annoying shtick?
Someone like Legg who uses the same things over and over again like "battle of the bands" or Stinky who comes has to outdo himself with new stupid ones each quarter?
How long will it take us to regain focus?
After all these (we can now safely call them) failed acquisitions, how long will it take us to get back on the right track? Because it certainly doesn't seem like we're getting there fast enough. The strategy still seems to be all over the place... — read more
No layoffs this year?
With interest rates rising 2.5 to 3% this year and given that lump sums drop 10% with each 1% interest increase why would they pay severance?
