The Irony of Stankey and “Market Competitive Culture”
He says we’re entering a “more competitive” culture, based on performance and metrics. If this is the case, shouldn’t Stankey be the first one let go? We’d save 30 million a year, and his “performance metrics” have been among the worst of all CEOs... — read more
Pension Withdrawal
I have been here almost 3 months now. When will I be able to take my pension and leave? Do I have to stay a year?
List all the attrition tactics that come to your mind
RTO is definitely the latest gem. But years of steadily dismantling any shred of company culture - that’s the real mastermind move. A sneaky way to make all of us want absolutely nothing to do with T anymore. To get us so fed up that we just... — read more
Corporate Job in Technology

Stankey is a Corporate Plantation Master
Yes that will definitely attract young talent. The stink of the stank will linger long after he's gone. Hey we want you in your desk 5 days a week but you don't get an office or a desk to put up a picture, have a coffee mug, or some little chotzky to... — read more

He was pleased by the rate of participation
Couldn’t be more proud of my coworkers who gave honest opinions on the employee satisfaction survey. You clearly hit a nerve and triggered a historic response. He fell for it and went viral. Next step. We no longer participate in your surveys.
How to get layer off
Retirement age soon. I don't need the severance but it would be sweet karma if I asked to get layed off after decades of ducking it. How do you ask? Our org is hiring. Could it still happen? Real advice please. Sarcasm doesn't help. Thanks in... — read more

CSD Customer Support Desk Surplus

DR’s have to write survey action plan?
Our manager met with us to go over their survey results. They weren’t good. Now they are asking us (their direct reports) to write their action plan on being a better manager - this is exactly what a manager does and not a leader.
It’s funny that we’re even discussing loyalty
It’s been gone for so long, I don’t get why it’s still a topic. I guess we all had to pretend for a while, until it stopped being sustainable and no amount of corpo fluff could cover it up anymore. Our workplaces became theaters of cruelty and... — read more

MSN Article Sums things up well: AT&T just made it official: Workplace loyalty is dead
It's not every day that a CEO's 2,500-word response to an employee engagement survey goes viral. But that's exactly what happened last weekend, after AT&T CEO John Stankey sent a memo to his managers that my colleagues Dominick Reuter and Katherine... — read more
Remember August 1, 2025
Never take another survey again, of any kind. If participation is below 50% it’s invalidated. That’s the only way to fight back now. You’ll never see the results of this survey, just like the last one.

Get Off My Lawn, Kids!
Stank is hilarious. Two years ago eating hot peppers in flannel jammies, now touting the tough grandpa image to get back to work. What a lump of play dough! Retire and chase kids off your lawn already.

Stank’s Email
I’m glad we’re putting an end to the AT&T welfare system. Y'all can go work security on the night shift and sit around doing nothing or move back in with your parents and do as much WFH as you did previously.
Can somebody post the entire email?
For those of us who are no longer with T but still want to stay in the loop? Thanks!
