Football championship weekend and this is what we get. Total BS from a cr-ppy company.
Absolute clown show
Former employee. Checking in… looking at some of my former bosses at AT&T and where they are now. The BEST ones no longer work for the company. The worst one(woman flat out broke the law!) is now an AVP. No wonder the company is sh-t. The... — read more
AT&T Medicare Advantage Plan
I have a question about the new AT&T Medicare Advantage Plan in 2024. Since we, as retirees, are dropping Medicare in order to enroll in the new plan, will UHC send a notice to Medicare.gov to drop us from the plan, or do we have to contact Medicare?... — read more
Best way to get AT&T discounts?
I'm leaving the company end of December, it's the right thing for me to do. I won't get the nice EMO discount, so what is the best way to get the biggest % off? I am turning 50 next year. AT&T has been good, but it's changed since I joined. People I... — read more
I'm Leg T. Check me on my MR75 math.
I get it - Age and service must equal 75, and you must be a minimum of 50 years old. I'll turn 53 in December 2023, and will have as of January 1, 2024, 24 years of service (NCDS is 6/14/1999). I should meet MR75, right? I don't want to move to... — read more

JVB will be the reason why the business org fails
JVB has no real understanding of the business org. She was in retail and that space will soon be brought to ashes by completely going AR. Nothing working in the business org. Fiber folks, good luck as your commission changed once more and you will... — read more
Mass Markets Merry-Go-Round
Any thoughts on today's re-orgapalooza with Kenny, Robertson and Wellday? I'll be glad to be rid of J Robertson's limited and not very radical candor, but jeez it seems like all these people do all day is sit around a big magnetic org chart, move... — read more

As in Jason Press…. ATS Wave 2 letters will go out in 1st quarter of 2024. Actual relocation dates will be in 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. Criteria is not known at this time but we all know what the hidden agenda is. List your ideas in the comments. — read more
Back in the 1990s my local
Burger King ran an all summer long special of 99 cent Whoppers. Now the regular price is $5.49 and the special is a $3 Whopper on Wednesday with a coupon. My times have changed. You would have been better off buying Whopper Futures in the 1990s... — read more

I use to think Executives would be smart and on the ball

CWA agrees to give away more union jobs! Why?
South East Disconnect center work is being worked by contractors. What is the purpose of paying regular union dues if the union agreed to give more work away? Do they represent any of us or is there too many palms being greased?
Layoffs are just rumors until you are the one affected
I'm tired of people claiming the talk of layoffs is exaggerated. Half of my team thinks I'm overreacting and should "learn to relax." I know people who were laid off this month but since they don't know them, it never happened. It's driving me... — read more
why is no one talking about the title simplification change
is the majority here bargained or level 1?
Pull The stock
Has anyone pulled their stock from T? Has a few partners contemplating doing this together since it keeps dropping. Any advice from the gurus/wise people ?
You simply don't question higher ups unless you want a Scarlett T for Troublemaker on your chest
You could stop a Senior VP from diving into shark infested waters and save his skin but they always remember you jumped rank and initially made them look bad in their quest to make their mark. No one at ATT is measured on performance or bottom line... — read more
