The company is playing chess while CWA is playing checkers. The union sounds defeated in their last update, employees are already whining about not having any money, and the house of cards is falling. We knew AT&T didn’t care about its customers or... — read more
Welcome back to 5 days a week in-office!
With the new Occupancy Indicators (OI) rolling out across the country, you may ask yourself what "FTO" stands for. It means "Full Time Office" Worker. If you're interested in the other letter or other OI, check out HR OneStop and search for U.S... — read more
New indicators
Anyone knows how many days a MS will Have to be in the office per week?
Something fishy is going on
Updates galore about who brought lunch and how bad the company is, then all of a sudden Saturday was the last update. What is the union not telling us? Seems like someone jumped the g-n. Why wasn't our contract extended like in 2019? 12 days after... — read more
How well did the company prepare?
From my perspective the company was caught completely off guard. Things in the Southeast have grinded to a halt.
Mobility Union
I am glad for the strike! I am glad at least this part of the Union fights for them! I must say the Union for the Gulf States is horrible! We have NO ONE that understands mobility and its operations! This so called guy in the guy in Mississippi... — read more

Why I hate AT&T
They put you in a ridiculous situation and then gas light you into thinking you are the issue, that you aren’t working hard enough or you are thinking wrong etc. total cult.
Dear Union Employees
You have the full support of lower-level AT&T management. As with many of my peer management colleagues, I hope you get what you deserve. Stinky, coupled with corporate America's avarice, will try to take as much as they can. Stick to what you... — read more
What is "The Portal" as it relates to RTO?
My boss just told me to let him know when I need to work from home on occasion (as we are required to be in office 5 days per week) so that he can enter it into "the portal". I didn't even want to ask what that means exactly. I just assume I must... — read more
Pension or cash balance
I’m hearing that SBC/ at &T wants to take the pension away from the District 3 strikers, and give them cash balance . Is that true? If so, anyone with 30-40-50 years service, if you retire before a new contract is ratified, will that grandfather... — read more
Mid market
Anyone know how much longer this will go on? It’s not profitable, people aren’t making money and it’s not sustainable. How long before fundamental change?
IHX surplusses happening now
Guess att doesn't want to pay for people to sit around during this strike. If you recently had people leave, count yourself lucky! Just got a call about my headcount going from 12 down to 8! Now I have to tell my new employees that they're being let... — read more

Approximately 1700 workers deployed (as of when?)
From the CP portal, not sure how long this has been up: CWA initiates a work stoppage in the Southeast, starting August 16 Approximately 1700 Contingency Workers have been officially deployed to their Contingency Assignment.
Biggest Losers in this Strike IHX and Fiber
Techs aren’t getting paid because of a conscious choice they are making… The company should suffer in this because they won’t pay the techs…. What the F did IHX and Fiber do to deserve to be caught up in this and this make no money…. This is... — read more

Tear down the executive culture
@union, @lvl1, lvl2 look out for each other Don’t look out for level 3’s and up. They are under crippling orders to not look out for you. Change the culture. A workforce that is ineffective together isn’t a reflection on individuals, it’s a... — read more
Leadership calling on their abused managers to save their network
So after years of taking benefits, destroying the work life balance they promoted, laying off 3/4 of the work force, and abusing what’s left with forcing days in the office, they now call upon us to leave our families and our homes to travel across... — read more
They’re spending more on CP than they would have on the union contract.
That’s how stu-pid they really are.
CP duty 12 hour days 6 days a week!
WTF is this sh-t? Is this even legal?
Don't TOUCH THE BUTTONS
We were just informed that managers operating any vehicle that may contain buttons, levers or any mechanical switches to refrain from touching them. After the vehicle accidents within the last few days the company realizes they have a 3rd class of... — read more
CWA
CWA "fighting" for better benefits and getting paid, while we stand in the sun on a picket line and get nothing. Seems really fair doesn't it? Before anyone starts with this "you knew it was a contract year and should have saved" cr-p, some of us... — read more

Back to work ATT! Find your inspiration! Provide a value!
AT&T is recalling all former techs.
Just got an email this morning telling me to report to the local hub. Told we're going to do a day of retraining to "catch us back up". They're giving us 100% commission relief for the month and $1500 a week on top of our salary. But we're being... — read more

Relo is just another layoff strategy
I mean, who would accept to relocate for a company which is badly managed, chaotic, and where leadership does nothing to generate revenue but excels at cuts just so stock value isn’t shot down? You relocate, pay for it, move your whole family, sc--w... — read more
In Office Monitoring Starting
Got word from our AVP under Legg that they are going to implement in office monitoring starting soon. Apparently only 22% of people are staying the whole day vs. cutting out early. Not sure what the ramifications would be at this point?

Stankey always dismisses T-Mobile
Any time he's talking about financials he never forgets to mention T-Mobile only to dismiss their stock performance. It must really burn him that theirs is going 5-6x better than ours. Clearly his and the rest of the C-suite "leadership" team has... — read more
