2025 is half over and some of the non-hub locations remain intact, though the herd has thinned out quite a bit. Any RTO updates on various locations like Illinois suburbs and St.Louis for this year or 2026? Seems like Arlington Heights is still intact.

I can't understand how we are still around in AH. The majority of my team has 20+ years several folks are retirement age.
St Louis 1010 pine is a ghost town. janitors are cleaning floors that never get dirty

RTO is over. You survived.
@mk what about ATS?
If you’re a market based employee, then forever.
@h5 Wow! Way to encrypt that message! :)
A yes man that some how got to a position folks still don’t no, he is not a people person but looking for #1 him. Most are to worried to speak up and so things move along however he does appreciate if you do speak up
Bloomington will be around for a long time because the company is aligned with the politics of Minnesota.
Nice to be cruising in San Ramon. Where there's chaos there's profit.
If your occupancy indicator is a market employee, then you'll be in theses stragglers for a long time.

@ad how can we get a position in Chicago area. No job posting no way supervisor is allowing to be remote support.
I’m not @ad but if i’m not mistaken, the process goes something like this:
Target the demographic in waves. While in progress, support the narrative that those locations are closing and no jobs will be offered there. Once operation ‘demographic annihilation’ is complete, pretend there is a change in direction and resume hiring in those locations again.
Rules are bent for the Chicago and Charlotte ops.

@ad Arlington heights is a leased building and will be gone by end of 2026. Folks will be going to another location most likely an owned AT&T building where there is a large presence.
Wards edict has always been to sc--w the employee to save his job. Nothing has changed. Good employees are gone while Ward still remains. How we still employ him and fund his projects is ludicrous.
The closing of Illinois and St. Louis have always been a farce, a lie, a bunch of bull$hit. Waves were used to provide cover for the lies and provide obscurity so the employees that were targeted by age and race had a more difficult time mounting legal action. The buildings will remain open. We may move to a slightly smaller office in the near future, but we will be operating in these locations for another five years. You can take that to the bank.
And we can turn in our laptop and NO LONGER be 5x8 employees Mon-Friday AND 24x7 employees!
Just tell us where to turn the laptop in at and we will be glad to NO LONGER be 24x7 employees AND Monday-Friday 8-5pm.
Pick a lane!
I don't care where they live. Make EVERYONE go into the office 5 days a week. Give us all desktop computers and landlines again.
Call Center don't have to be in a hub city.
asking because you work there, or cause you're a sad, angry jealous person?
Lots of $$$ is being put into the Southfield MI campus. Adding workers too.
