I work for AT&T. Here’s why you should never buy anything from AT&T except via self service online.

Anyone have any news on the company possibly moving Atlanta and/or Dallas from an N2 to an N3 Geozone classification?

What a disgrace

Haven’t heard from McElf lately. Stankey only talks to Dallas-based GM and above last week. No word from Welday since RTO announced. Legg talks sometimes. Where’s the leadership? Afraid of hearing from your remaining employees?

Anyone know of people getting the virtual designation in ATS?

Just got an email from with the subject “Employee Designation & Location Letter”. It’s starting. I’ve been in Atlanta, and remain there; the letter says I’m in-office effective 7/10. No real surprise here but I thought people would like to know. — read more
