In order to be DEI compliant. ATT Executives play by a different set of rules. Hopefully for ployees and shareholders Stank got the vaccine and some resulting tightening of the ticker valves.

Two call centers opened, one in Peru and the other one in El Salvador. This is recent. I wonder if the D9 Bargaining Committee is going to fight so this work isn't transferred to lower paying titles? Or is the game only Core tech work?

I went "no" down the line for the BOD and against everything they "suggested". Of course I know my one vote won't matter but it still felt good to do.

I’m feeling sick, how many days can I take off, paid? Work to rule, be ready for mobilization at any moment.

Is Stankey at the Masters living it up this week?

Has anyone else heard anything?

I know it’s really hard right now to stay positive in such a tumultuous and volatile workplace. If you haven’t been affected by surpluses yet I’m sure everyone here knows someone who has. Just know when one door closes, another one opens. You will... — read more 

Any chance AT&T can pull it together, so we stop losing money?

There is no mention from the union, protecting the transfer of work from other titles, except core technicians. Service reps have had their work transfered to lowered paid contractors, cell phone representatives and even management. This is an... — read more

Really? Strike or Not Strike Don’t play games like a High School cheerleader

What do you all think about this ?

What have you heard?

I'm sure there are things going on behind the scenes but odd how quiet it is in retail after markets were condensed. Directors seem to even be out of the loop on who's staying and going and what restructuring will happen.

"The city’s largest office building—the 44-story AT&T Tower, now empty—recently sold for around $3.5 million in 2022." "The price for the AT&T Tower, three blocks from the Railway Exchange, was a sliver of the $205 million it sold for in 2006." The... — read more

It crazy, the only thing keep is us a float is our dividend. T is already a bottom of the barrel stock, but the dividend keeps it from tanking.

We have had 4 Prem tech openings in our area for 6 month’s. Can’t fill the positions. Nobody wants the job, once they hear the pay, hours and days off, they leave.

This Morning our union representatives(cwa) came to our work location saying the company wants to eliminate our job title. They want to send SS work to prem techs, how does this make sense? Anyone else heard this??

Haven’t heard from our EVP, SVP, VP in months. Everyone is quiet, big storm brewing or are they finally understanding they add zero value?
