The other mouse is about to drop, soon! Let’s go D9, hate to waste all that qualified CP training, Stankey wants to put them to work, he only cares about his 3 million dollar raise.
West is walking
D9 is going out soon. Prepping is already underway and leaked.
Service Rep here
SE Strikers. You are having a huge impact on at&t. Customers in the SE are canceling in droves. People moving are getting installation dates 4 weeks out. We are missing a massive amount of appointments. The contingency workers are completing... — read more
Severanced earlier this year. Best thing that happened to me!
Just wanted to let y'all know that there is a great life beyond AT&T. I cherish the memories, but am happy in my new world. Wish all of you the best (well, except for The Stink, as he made so many messes)..... Also want to thank AT&T for the... — read more
Is the west going to walk?
If not then can we go back to work as we work out our agreement like they are?
I’m just here for the paycheck
In the end. That is all that matters. No commitment to my leadership ( liars, cheats and steals). The company no longer cares about the employees (wonder if they ever did?)
D9 Dist vs Locals
How many locals in D9, and how many of those locals voted down on the TA?
I’m having a hard time convincing myself to stay at T
I’ve been here for a long time, and I accumulated relatively decent savings. But I’m fed up with bad management, current culture, and probably burnt out as well. I still have time to retirement, going for early one is not the option I prefer. I would... — read more
Real reason for RTO?
Has any CEO actually come out with the real reason for RTO? We know “collaboration” is just a convenient excuse. I read something about tax complications but it didn’t make sense.
Surplus day 9/15
Will there be surplus for non-management in SE during a work stoppage 9/15?
What are the fields on the Presence report?
Since we don't have access to this report to enforce RTO, does anyone on this board have access and willing to tell us exactly what is being reported?
T Stock 21.5
Thanks John!!
Explain like I'm five - Why are T and CWA apart?
What does CWA want? What does Stankey want? What are neither of them budging on?
Letters
L2 letters have been sent out. I met with my manager today—feels like the calm before the storm. Just to clarify, I'm not moving to Dallas.
RTO Presence
From the How and where we work FAQ. Why the f*** are we traveling to these other offices ??? • If you swipe your AT&T badge, connect to AT&T’s LAN, or AT&T company Wi-Fi (ATTCORP) at any AT&T office location, your presence will be reflected in the... — read more
Don’t forget about the culture survey!
With all the drama between outages, security breaches, strikes, DTV/ESPN/Disney etc. don’t forget we are STILL waiting on the culture survey results. Tom Petty’s “I won’t back down” plays in background.
Disney Carriage Agreement (Uverse/DirectTV)
This is not LAYOFF related, but I want wanted to post this for others to know. If you are impacted by the Loss of ESPN and other channels on UVerse/DirectTV, you must call in to Customer Service to get Billing Credits issued (About $30.00) to be on... — read more
Has this been the intention all along?
To ruin a good company? In that case Stankey was a great choice and will lead until there is nothing left to lead.
AT&T repeats history over and over again
In IT, we've been through the cycle of "get rid of contractors, we need to own our systems", so "have contractors take care of systems so our employees can focus on what's important" has happened more times than I can count. They even go over "why is... — read more
Stankey chooses to "reopen discussions on the final offer".
Wow, maybe the strike is having an affect on Corp.
This once-great company was ruined by Stankey and the rest of the management
They all acted like gods, strutting around as if they owned the place! In the end, the higher they climbed the corporate ladder, the more out of touch they became. It's truly such a shame to see AT&T in such a pitiful state knowing how things could... — read more

Make it make sense
Admittedly I am not in the room, but I have been trying to keep up with the different positions on key items. The union wants to flatten the zones to one, but doesn’t it cost much more to live in certain areas? They don’t want the healthcare costs... — read more

Update 66
Isn't this when Emperor Palpatine initiated the master plan to destroy the jedi? Thanks for the pictures guys, they are really letting us know that we're still getting paid and you guys are going broke. Nothing new to report
Why is the Company saying the contract is for 15k employees when the CWA site keeps saying 17k?
So Why is the Company saying the contract is for 15k employees when the CWA site keeps saying 17k? Someone’s not right on this? I would think the company knows how many employees they have, but why wouldn’t the union?
Invest 91L UPDATE

Sunday Blues
It's Sunday evening. Just got off the phone with the family. Being stuck here is not what I envisioned working for AT&T. Both the weather and job su-k.
DTV
I see where DTV announced a rate hike starting next month. Dropping major programming and hiking subscription price? Who comes up with this strategy?
AT&T sold your pension to private equity
This isn’t news but I only learned about this yesterday. If you Google AT&T pension, there are many articles and blog posts about it. AT&T recently sold their pension fund to an insurance company called Athene. Athene now holds over $12 billion in... — read more
AT&T Sale of POTS and DIRECTV
Supply Chain looking to unload legacy landline operations and attaching DIRECTV holdings to sweeten the deal. How many employees in landline?
Layoff Proof of Concept
The longer the strike lasts, the more validation there will be for large manager cuts having minimal impact. Remaining managers will be able to cover with overtime.
All this bickering
It’s ridiculous that so many posters think this is a fight between union and management. The only management posting here are the ones scr3ded into a cp assignment. The folks at the top are reading this and laughing about how you are doing exactly... — read more
