Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

To the old timer bragging they got theirs and they don’t care about anybody else. That statement right there is why the economy is still closed. As long as the boomers get theirs, the hell with the rest of us. They will run this country into bankruptcy while they scream Covid and keep everything closed. Wonder who is going to pay for their government entitlements like Medicare and Social Security when all the of the rest of us have lost our jobs? It’s high time we get the kids back in school and get the economy going in.

Dude, at 35 yo, you’re still a young pup in the T world. I’m 65 and still working here! Now, that’s an old timer that has seen more company changes than I care to admit! You’ll be lucky if you rack up the service years that I have with this company! Hang in there...

“Wall St. can lose.
I got my 401K, retiree health benis, and pension. My wife got all 3 as well.
I won, and that's all I care about.“

And we wonder why att is the cesspool it is.

What do you mean when you say “All American Company “? Half of customer service is in India or some other country where nobody can understand a word they say. And the 401K is not exactly matching. “Huge Discounts”? Sure- off already huge bills. Not everyone gets annual bonuses. And why the need to constantly pick on older workers? I’m 35, so I suppose I’m old. Someday all the people here who rag on older workers will be “old timers too”, and I hope you get disrespected just as much.

Pension is gone in the orange Contract for all new employees.

People are bitter due to poor management from the top down. Instead of focusing on sales it's always red tape, coaching, changes, constant management hovering from a dos level down to a rsm level.

Even new hires are starting at way lower wages and having more expected. The job isn't what it once was.

The mobile sales teams drive 250 miles a day sometimes due to no dispatches or tech dispatches and still get yelled at for not doing enough for sales.

T is just not being smart about downsizing! Once again, there are many union workers in all areas of the country that would be willing to leave the company and have been working wit T for decades...now, they’re ready to pull up stakes. The problem is that ATT is just not offering severance packages to those people, consequently, they’re more than willing to continue working way past their normal retirement age. It’s easy and very good money and hard to walk away from!

Now that Elliot sold their position , it's back to business as usual from the stock side.. I still expect Stankey to leave within a year once WallSt. Starts punishing the stock.. because of Covid losses... Long term T will be fine, once they cut the baggage of all these old timers.

Very true! AT&T is great for employees at all levels - more so than for customers and investors. Made me wealthy by most everyone’s standards. Yet there are still many bitter employees and ex- employees. Strange!

Bs it has been like this for at least 20 years it will never change. When will it end? It will always be a cesspool. What do you consider long term 100 years? Please don’t use COVID as an excuse. Att only used it to only give people two weeks instead of 60 days. Att is ran by snake oil salesman and they sure have you sold.

Zero chance of that with Ratty and Stinky and the clown Board of Misdirectors.
