Stink Stank Stunk

Nothing can undo the damage created by baldy’s Friday email. Was that supposed to motivate us? I’ve never seen people more pi---d off around here than I have this week. Motivation and morale are now at all time lows. The business will suffer, but... — read more

If you want to Slap AT&T in the Face:

Send EVERYONE you know to T-MOBILE. Switch over all your own lines as well. Can you imagine what it says to the outside world when your own employees refer people to the Competition out of pure Disgust and Disappointment? Give them back the... — read more 

Well, this su-ks

It’s been almost two months without a paycheck. I keep applying, and I keep hearing nothing or getting ghosted after interviews. My confidence is pretty much in the trash. I'm at the point where I'm starting to really miss T. I just need one thing to... — read more

Van Nuys Office Closure?

Van Nuys Office Closure? Is this happening or is just s rumor? Commutable employees were relocated at the end of July and now all the other employees are sitting waiting to hear what happens next and be able to move on with their lives.

Center of Excellence

I looked at How and Where we work policy and in it, Austin is still marked as Center of Excellence but no mention of Chicago. (Though it was business as usual at some point). I understand Market folks can still work in Chicago and other offices but... — read more 

here’s why John Stankey’s Friday email is basically a masterclass in how to alienate your workforce instead of engaging them.

Case Study: AT&T Employee Survey Email – Leadership Failure Analysis Tone mismatch • What he did: Used ultimatums (“align or leave”), quoted a military general about “irrelevance,” and openly warned hybrid/remote fans they won’t fit in. • Why... — read more 

Dear John

Why do you constantly and repeatedly ask the rank and file to make scarifies for your failures. Your failures are well documented. Where should one start.? The list is long and tiresome. The only reason AT&T continues as a profitable company is as... — read more

What's happening to this place?

I leave on the dot and suddenly I’m the lazy one? Someone on my team keeps acting like I’m not pulling weight just because I don’t hang around after hours. I always finish my work. Since when is that not enough?

Imagine being a CEO and writing a 10 minute message to your employees and never saying thank you for your hard work or that you value them.

I will never take another survey again....

for as long as I am here, which, let's face it, may not be that long. But I am a 20+ year tenure person, have managed many people, and have in turn urged them to take these in the past, as we were told to do. Never, ever, again. Even though it... — read more
