Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

“There is no fighting this.
Leave”

Dik. You leave.

This should be sent to the BOD!

Do it. Chicken.

This should be sent to the BOD!

“I can't leave because my skills are outdated and I really can't get another good job elsewhere.”

Is this Jeff or Jeremy? I wouldn’t blame either one of you for posting this. The important thing to know is that either one of you would be perfectly capable as a level 2 Associate Director. Tool bags.

Someone pinned up a16x20 (two 8x10) printouts of McElfresh as Charlie the Tuna fish wearing a vest. LMAOOO. I think it was created with GenAI or they really have artistic talent. Whoever did it, you are our hero. I took a picture of it on my cell phone and will treasure it, Did that rat fink finger stink fish man ever apologize?

Be thankful that you have indoor plumbing, TP, city water and air conditioning. The union technicians still use out houses and leaves, or a piece of newspaper.

On behalf of all managers in Dallas, Atlanta and Jersey, AND ALL OTHER LOCATIONS, we just want to say: “Thank you, Jeff!”

I can't leave because my skills are outdated and I really can't get another good job elsewhere.

So with Jeff wearing the vest, was that a call out that managers can go ph--k themselves before the company tanks? # stock market # Rosegarden

McElfresh will make AT&T great again.

As stated multiple times, McSelfish is a Stink clone. Perhaps worse based on his free thought yesterday.

Nothing will change in the foreseeable future.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out, that if nothing changes, McElfresh will be the CEO of the company in 2026. Stankey has moved to chairman of the board, which is how they prepare for retirement.

It sure sounds like our future leader would prefer a unionized management workforce.

There is no fighting this.

1. Leave
2. Tell customers why, with facts not emotion, they need to know who they are doing business with
3. Work hard at another company that values employees

That’s how you “fight back” by taking back control of you.

You all have a choice, that’s the choice to LEAVE. Get away from this POS and join a competitor

Well you can flee or you can fight. We know what you would choose. Don't cut up the good bedsheets to make your white flag.

“You all have a choice, that’s the choice to LEAVE.”
I hate my life and would rather just complain on anonymous Internet forum than have to take any action to make improvements and regain ownership of my life.

Donning that vest was his Micheal Dukakis tank commander moment. Completely inauthentic guy with zero leadership qualities as demonstrated by his rant at the end of that townhall. Commenting that managers working in admin buildings that are overcrowded, poorly maintained with dirty bathrooms, running out of Toilet paper, hand towels , bugs, mice should be grateful and graceful because others are working in dilapidated buildings?? Who’s responsible for Those working conditions Jeff? You are…Stankey is. Take some responsibility. Whose genius idea was it to force people into office locations without sufficient seating? You did..own up to the poor execution of RTO. We don’t care about RTO except for the cr-p office conditions while you sit in the Glass house in Dallas.

It was a pathetic display that make you look small, petty, tone deaf and arrogant. You want to improve the culture? Improve your own understanding and attitude. You owe the hard working people of AT&T an apology for that ran.

Very insulting from a small man out of touch with reality.

Given the current climate, were his comments tone deaf and insensitive to the issues many/ most of his employees have been dealing with?

Absolutely, 100%.

But all of this talk about them being "hateful" and "reprehensible" is WAY over the top. It wasn't that.

It was just another misstep from a guy way over his head. A guy who has remarkable ascended to that position with not one iota of ANY leadership quality. The man has the charisma of a soap dish. You can tell he was coached up to go hard at the RTO stuff, put it to bed once and for all. Hence the fake tough guy and feigned anger approach.

For those of you that missed, he essentially feigned anger at the complainers, aligning himself with outside network folks talking about how they have to respond in all conditions, 24 x 7, etc. Complete red herring argument. Apples and oranges. Ineffective and unauthentic, and I'd give him an F for his performance.

Jeff “Not So Fresh” should shave off his stubble. It makes him look like even more of a tool than he already is!

Will you leave if your demands aren’t met?

Go look at the thread “McSelfish open Mic” and you can find more details of what he shared.

Link to the post on this site that explains “what he said.”

There are other threads addressing his insults and disdain for management RTO workers. Go read them. Everyone is furious. They have responded to his last 5 minute railing, rant of hate and then thanked employees only in the three hub locations for their dedication. Someone needs to transcribe his final words and post here.

What happened? Some of us weren’t watching.

The signature block missing from this letter/post is missing.

Signed,
Karens and Darrens of AT&T

Jazzy Jeff needs to lose weight

Bye Jeff

Man - who let the McElresh fan club loose on this thread? WTF are you all defending with his elitist, out of touch remarks and blatant insults? You can defend RTO all you want, and enjoy the 8x5 drudgery, but do not have any self-respect defending the leadership team that has such obvious disregard its employee base? We need to hold our leadership to a standard commensurate with their pay and it starts with paying us the respect that we as managers deserve.

*** no doubt at ALL Jeffery is busy as a mad man on a vengeance typing away anonymous messages.. Hi Jeff. oh yeah Phukk off tu-d, you always wear such ill fitting clothes. it matches your persona.

Hi Jeff.. I see you are posting on this thread too!

“Someone needs a DEI rep. Or their mommy. Yes Jeff shows he doesn’t care but your whinny behavior is shameful.”

Whining?! This is a constructive response calling on HR to do what they are obligated to in investigating claims of unprofessional, insulting, threatening behavior - in this case in the company of thousands of witnesses which compounds the risk and corporate liability.

Whinny behavior would be equivalent to what you’re doing.

We can't get righteously indignant alongside you if you don't tell us what he said.

What did he say?

AGREE Wholly
