Many people were hired as "in office" over the years, worked remote some before and during Covid but when RTO first started, submitted a waiver which allows them to still work remote due to "health" reasons. No mention of them ever returning to... — read more

Foraging For A Desk
So many people without desks. What were they thinking about?
Two Days
Two days coming in Monday and Tuesday and I have to say it is nice being back full time.
union not much better
First off if you are management I am sorry to say this company is going to do you how they want, when they want, in what ever office they want and whatever day they want! T doesn't have money for payout for people to leave if they can just get you... — read more
Pudding Day for RTO!
I went to Sams Club and bought 3 dozen chocolate puddings. I brought them to work and filled the entire fridge up with them. If you see them help yourself to one. Post here if you eat one. BTW, I am not telling anyone about this. The only way you’ll... — read more
When pension is no longer worth waiting for.
17 years with the business, still far from meeting the MR 75. I had an honest conversation with my L3 this morning about my future with T. I told her that after a decade of being fully remote and exceeding performance expectations, I can’t see myself... — read more
Everybody who leaves T is happier
I don't know a single person who quit or even got laid off who said they wanted to come back. It’s always the opposite. They’re happier, more full of life, and can’t stop raving about their new jobs. That’s why I never feel bad for the ones who get... — read more
Concourse cafeteria
Be honest lol who didn’t pay for their food and made them implement a new change , now you must order your food, pay and then wait for it to be made
8 Hours…Nothing More
My favorite part of today was closing my laptop and cou once my 8 hours were up and tending to my personal life. T wants to have their cake and eat it too…not happening.
This just in from a very reliable 5th level manager
that the severance package that is supposed to be offered in February is nothing more than a rumor! She said who ever started that rumor is completely out of touch with the state of the company and the way SBC conducts its business! She also said... — read more
Digital Transformation? Lol, 30 year late!
What in god’s name is this now? Did upper management finally hear about a new thing called digital? What geniuses!
Demand the RTO policy in writing
Notice how the company hasn’t sent out anything official from corporate or updated their policies on HR One Stop? They think they’re slick trying to do this by word of mouth so it can’t be used against them legally. Demand the 5 day RTO policy in... — read more
RTO su-ks
Came into the office, couldn’t find a parking space so that took about an extra 15 mins. Then when I got on the sales floor, couldn’t find a desk and it was like a big meet and greet. No one working, just walking around hugging each other and talking... — read more
Anyone have employment levels for year end vs. a year ago?
Current level can be calculated but not history unless it's been saved. Thanks!!
Hope I don’t crash my car on the way home in the snow.
Just got the call from the kids school. Early dismissal due to snow. Guess I gotta use that PGCL time to go get them now! Hope I don’t crash on the way home! Who is to blame if something happens to me because they demanded I report during... — read more
Happy New Year! How are you all?
I took the severance in July. Just wondered how you all are doing. Everyone doing well? I hope you are well. Remember your health - mentally and physically - come first.

First day of RTO is a WFH day due to weather.
If this isn’t GODs work, I don’t know what is. Stankey, you are going to he-l!
There are no layoffs criteria but costs
They don’t care about your competence, skill and experience. They don’t care about the criticality of your role, dedication, or for how long you have been with the company. They only care about how much you cost the company. In the same vein, they... — read more

Already out of desks
RTO will happen
RTO will happen. Yes, we’ll all be unhappy and complain, but the fact is that the majority will follow the rules. We'll return to the pre-pandemic way of work within months. But other things will change, too. I can guarantee that productivity will... — read more
What I’ve learned RTOing five days a week.
I’ve decided to make the most of it and as of last Friday, I still have a job. I hate the four to five hours a day round trip I use working for the man. We don’t have public transportation to our location and parking entails paying for it and a few... — read more
Layoff criteria
Wouldn't it be funny to somehow have access to see/hear a Teams meeting with upper level management about WHAT factors are really used in deciding what offices are closed, where work is moved to, and why??? It seems it's all about objectyive... — read more

JVB worst leader to date. Thoughts?
I’ve been here a long time and JVB, Brian G and team might be the worst leadership team I’ve ever seen. They’ve dismantled everything we do in the last few years just to realize universal sellers are the way to go. Exactly what we were when they came... — read more

The ultimate plan to save ATT
Create a new company under John’s ownership. Transfer 130 billion of his debt to his new company. Purchase a one man office in Siberia. Tell John he must RTO to his new company.
I wish we were unified
As much as it’s their dream scenario, they can’t run the company without us. If we had been unified from the start, no one would have shown up when hybrid work was first introduced, let alone for full RTO. They get away with this because we let them... — read more
Legg’s RTO Disaster
Twas the night before RTO and all through the house, Jeremy was arguing with his much taller spouse. Just like employees, she didn’t agree, with the half-wits decisions from the short sh-t bully. She went on and on about RTO and its flaws, worried... — read more
Who cut the cheese? Stankey!

With RTO 5X8 … what about snow?
I assume they don’t want employees getting ki-led/stranded in snow trying to “Live their Designation”. Somebody is going to have to actually lead and call a snow day in Dallas on Thurs and Fri. I know middle management is too scared/weak to do... — read more
Everyone make sure you 5x8 RTO
Make sure you wake up early to drive an hour to the office. Nobody in your office to collaborate with? Thats ok, you can just collaborate over teams. You must be sitting in an office on teams calls to actually work. If you are not spending 2-3 hours... — read more

Debt in 2067?
Typically don’t read this stuff but interesting how far out we have taken on debt. Guess it’s a good thing to retire it 40 years early. https://about.att.com/story/2024/global-notes.html
