The problem with attrition is, in my opinion, that management has not yet adapted to new generations who do not display the same sense of loyalty as previous generations did.
Maybe it's high time that our management adapts and gets used to the fact that people will no longer be loyal to a company that doesn't value them?
Post ID: @2jai+1eFRvaZ6: What does your repeated posts have to do with layoffs? NOTHING!! Now shut the %$#* UP!!
Management has taught employees a lesson at AT&T with continuous layoffs over a long period: AT&T upper management doesn't care about you and you should return the favor. Being a top performer does not guarantee you'll avoid layoffs.
ATT upper mgmt doesnt want loyalty. Randall shilled for the gig economy. Only mid level managers ask for loyalty from their subordinates.
What ? No Pension? Wheres the incentive to stay? Adjusting vacations to better reflect the market norms? So you are surprised that your talent left to give themselves the pay they deserve? Listen we will just outsource all that stuff to virtual shops overseas. See its ok if THEY work remotely LOL.
Expecting a company to hire you and keep you on payroll for as long as you wish isn't loyalty. It's dependency on your part.
Completely disagree with your hypothesis. Attrition, especially with legacy companies like ATT, has more to do with retirement, redundancies and yes, some resignations. Regarding the lack of loyalty of younger employees….that is a completely false assumption. Younger workers are no less loyal to their employers, they are; however, less fearful of leaving jobs that no longer fulfill their needs for things like salary, work/life balance, childcare options, education, social/environmental concerns, etc. They move on to jobs which are more aligned with what and who they are and what they expect. They don’t look for a job for life…why should they when there are so many opportunities to explore in life. And that has nothing to do with ‘loyalty’. In that way, they are smarter than previous generations. They’re more decisive and willing to take action to change their work situation if it does not meet their requirements ….far more than previous generations.
If you’ve not noticed, companies are not interested in hiring people who expect to work for them for their entire life.
Perhaps it’s time to reconsider your assumptions…..
The company does not want loyalty and long-term tenure since this impacts their bottom line. Just put in your 5-8 years to build your resume and move on. That is the new business model for corporate America. The recent attrition is not a problem, all part of the plan to reduce spend to help improve the bottom line. It's not personal, just business we live in now.
When you have a megalomaniac Stink in charge, he get's his kicks off by wacking US based employee, S C R E W I N G then over, and now getting them leave without severance either by requiring the Jab, taking away benefits, or increasing the toxicity levels at toxic T.
Stink don't need no Stinkin' loyalty - Stink wants you to leave!
Ah the days of Ameritech before Ed bought us and ruined a good company that at the very least showed its employees some respect benefits were great back then
This company hasn't been loyal or appreciative to its workers for a long time. We're talking pre-Ratty days. No one outside of brain washed bootlickers has any loyalty to this company by this point.
For smart people, this is a stepping stone to put on your resume as you move on to better employers in your career. To those lazier and less capable, it's a paycheck and some benefits. No one expects this to be a lifetime job that you can retire from with generous pension and benefits. Those days are ancient history.
Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no you were ever ‘loyal’ to the company. No one believes that BS. We know who you are.
"Adapted", don't be silly, the only thing management is good for is praise themselves and get paid. Managing people and business, not so much.
Yes, "The times they are a changing!"
Right on.......Brother Duff!
