Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

HR spill the beans

What kind of attrition are you seeing from 5 days RTO?

Is the phone ringing off the hook with grievances?

Seeing a lot of negative consequences?

Are there any requests from HR leadership to track issues related to RTO for leadership updates?

“If you want a serious answer, it's that nothing really dramatic is happening. A relatively small number of people resigned before it was announced (mostly the mom or caregiver types), but nothing like the large number of separations that happened in the last couple of years due to relocation.”

Yes I want a serious answer with facts and statistics. Not your opinion, which this clearly is.

“If you’re a Director and above and you were sitting in a room with just Director and above at AT&T you would see maybe 1-2 colored people in each org.”

So nobody reports up to Corey A? What a m0r0n you are. Everyone in my chain is a POC.

If you want a serious answer, it's that nothing really dramatic is happening. A relatively small number of people resigned before it was announced (mostly the mom or caregiver types), but nothing like the large number of separations that happened in the last couple of years due to relocation.

There are some logistical issues at some locations (like Atlanta), but nothing you haven't heard of before. For the most part, people are showing up to work in the morning and going home in the evening, and that's that.

People aren't happy about it, but if you're waiting for riots or a mutiny you'll probably be disappointed.

From what I've observed, what's more likely to force a loosening of RTO will be external - not internal. It will be hard for AT&T to attract new talent, especially younger management hires as long as the five-day mandate is being enforced.

I had an employee with 3 masters degrees that still needed to “axe a question “.

Education and intelligence are too very different things.

If you’re a Director and above and you were sitting in a room with just Director and above at AT&T you would see maybe 1-2 colored people in each org.. and those colored people would have far more credentials than their white counterparts. This company does not promote on merit. It’s just a club full of white folks. So sick of this DEI nonsense. Look at the facts.

HR can’t answer the phone at this time because they are too busy looking for a parking space, an elevator that has space, and a daily seat!

HR’s job is to provide corporate propaganda, not tell you how bad things are going.
