Spoke with a tec in Irving today said 40 on the crew surplus last day 3-31
Done with WFH
Before anybody thinks I'm saying everybody should return to the office, that's not it. For me, though, working from home means getting from bed to my laptop, trying to eat my meals while typing, responding, or doing whatever it is that simply can't... — read more
You are in charge of making a change
Companies evolve, change course, etc. We as individuals do the same. At some point an individual’s needs, lifestyle, beliefs, goals no longer mesh with the people we hangout with, best friends, wife, girlfriend, things we associate with, and things... — read more
AT&T Leadership is stupid
Prove me wrong.

Careerpath - Applied and Ignored? How many?
Anyone had success in filing federal EEO complaints after receiving the dear john letter a day after nominating a job - even when you're clearly qualified at 80% or greater? If you did not file, why not? Fear of retaliation, reputation, etc? ... — read more

Who cares about who
Regarding the intended subject of this forum, the bottom line reality is that - on one level or another or to one degree or another - everyone is a one person interest group. We can all blow the brotherly/sisterly smoke, however when it comes right... — read more

How many of us....
This site is anonymous so I will just throw it out there. I am a CSE 2 and work 100% remotely. I am at 90-120% of quota each month without having to leave my house or do much, honestly. I have had a second job (where I also work 100% from home) for... — read more
What % increase are folks seeing in this ytr ?

Whole dept are being wiped out
Just heard from a friend a group of 100+ techs got laid off. All of them!! DMDR techs. Not familiar with who they are. the are hiring contractors to replace my group so the don’t have to pay them benefits. No pension, 401k or health insurance! — read more
Getting laid off is a gift. Fly….be free.
Working at AT&T is high risk since performance reviews are political and not based on performance. Buying a house, a car, having children and not knowing if the job or career is going to be there because of upper management bad investments over the... — read more
Report reps
So I work in the Amarillo office and I have peers who are always absent from work but consistently make posts on social media being on vacation or out at clubs/bars etc. How can I report them and remain anonymous? We had a meeting and were threatened... — read more
for all remote workers talking big now
If you're saying you'll just quit or refuse to return to office if mandated, you may need a reality checkup. 6 months ago, that thought had some truth power. But check how long it's now taking to land a new job like yours today, and you may decide... — read more
TDS Short Squeeze Teed Up for This Afternoon
Too many assets, Too undervalued, foolish shorts like Stankey and Stephenson. They write checks their body can't cash. Always easy with margin and other peoples money until the tides turn.
Union Representation ???
Facts: Unions such as CWA start out as pro worker but end up very soon being a money grubbing good old boys organization that occasionally fights for the b-m that deserves to be fired. Dues monies go to union paid junkets (parties) in places like... — read more

Require me to come back into the office and I shut it down
15 hours a week sitting in the grind, 10 hours a week decompressing. I was more than willing to work from 7-7 every day and field things off hours and on the weekends but now I shut it down. In the collaboration zone I couldn't find a spot, it was... — read more
Above and Beyond activity.
Seriously, I’ve seen some above and beyond activity over the years that just ends in “your last day will be.” I’m not saying don’t be the best at what you do, but be careful with what you’re willing to die for.
Dear Legg, where is the so called inflation support?
A couple townhalls back you claimed the salary bumps we'd be receiving would be adjusted for inflation. Wouldn't beat it, but if it was at least 1% more I'd believe you. Got the year end review doc and surprise surprise it hasn't changed since... — read more

Thanks AT&T Business!
Got to check out the new comp portal only to find most of my sales were yanked and given to the new “platinum team”. This was after we were explicitly told that this would not happen if we had opportunities logged in SF. Everyone in SMB is looking to... — read more

2500 Ford Fusion in surplus for California
Looks like IHX is going to get hit hard soon. Over 2,500 vehicles are in surplus status in California alone.
Divestiture
Stankey has effectively dismantled Randall Stephenson’s legacy. Stephenson’s time as CEO was essentially a waste of time and money. AT&T is in a $100 billion sinkhole that will take the remainder of the decade to recover from.
AT&T Share Price just drifts like a tu-d in the ocean
AT&T = Ocean Tu-d
It's a zero sum game of ATT, Verizon, and Tmobile in the Octagon just pounding away at
each other quarter in and quarter out. One of these players would spend their cash much more wisely on purchasing TDS/USM rather than all that Sales, Marketing, and Subsidizing Equipment expenses. TDS Telecom and it's subsidiary US Cellular are big... — read more
