Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Isn’t it counterproductive to implement RTO/hours tracking to make people quit?

RTO/hours tracking/all this sh-t they’re building in the offices has to be more expensive than laying people off and paying severance.

But no money for broken applications.maybe if they actually fixed the applications that workers use daily, we would not need so many vendors like IBM due to open trouble tickets-which take multiple meeting, agents and additional tickets-to get fixed.

You can't lay off just people older than 50, you will get sued. You can, however, just make them miserable enough to quit. IT is an old union busting tactic being applied to managers.

All these firings and the stock price hasn't moved up. Stankey's response would be "Because we did what we said we would do and nothing more" LOL CEO's responsibility is to increase shareholder value.

Are you crazy? Building and modifying reports is a one time non-recurring charge. The company will make their money back 1000000 times over after firings for non-compliance. You go Legg!

Because it costs a fortune to build a report with existing data?

Not at all. Think about your 6 months of severance and how much that is. Multiply that times thousands. There you go. Millions in cost avoidance.

Coding this craptastic system, maybe they spent $20-30k. Fire one person and it’s paid for.

Promoting employees to quit isn’t the reason RTO was implemented.
