Management has no union rights and can be expected to be tossed to the wind. Poor planning for those so highly? educated and weak. Banding together could have at least got a high dollar severance exit package.

Can anyone confirm?

It will happen some VPs will not relocate and quit or retire too.

I got out of that hellhole a few years ago. So now I am completely out of the loop. Does this relocate or else plan apply to what used to be the first level U-verse network managers ?. Not sure what AT&T decided to call them now.

When I say no culture, I mean it does not exist. Everyone hates this place. It is hard to look past arrogant S0B's as leadership who are clueless about business and have destroyed everything they touch. If they carry out the plan that was set... — read more

Hey, how are y'all doing up there today? Still smiling?

If one of the main behind-the-scenes goals of RTO is to motivate as many people as possible to leave, I wonder to what extent they will succeed at it? Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to land anything better.

A leading telecommunications firm whose core business products are literally technologies that enable working from ANYWHERE, states that the model of distributed work is flawed and unworkable for a business concerned about fostering employee... — read more

+=yes =no

I am currently looking for new jobs and have gotten a few interviews. If I get an offer before AT&T can make up their mind about a timeline, is it worth taking before the severance payout?

Haven't heard a whole lot of updates since the original announcement. Anyone hearing any progress on CS&O? Like where people will be located and when they need to be there?

No notification for us today.

I think I'll start my retirement process and get out of this place if it's the last thing I do! Too much turmoil and confusion, low morale, dissent among the masses and enormous stress imposed every quarter of the year!

Here's hoping! Good luck to all.

Any news in the King org? Layoffs… RTO… just looking for info

Multiple centers in the Midwest closing. Not too many people left. Anybody that doesn't want to follow the work will receive about $100k in severance. Company is broke as a joke.
