was this post answered?
More desks available every month.
You cannot squeeze 100 employees into a space designed for a Max of 65.
"Why are Exempt employees miscategorized to avoid paying them overtime pay?"
Your State's Legislature allows it
Grim? Good pay, good hours and little traffic. Your existence must be miserable.
"I no longer believe the data breaches were the fault of a third party"
Too funny
WTH? On vacation out of state Tues - Sun. Presence report shows 4.75 hours in office on Thursday. We have pictures of my family on a train 700 miles from home at that same time. ATT has become a carnival of clowns. I no longer believe the data breaches were the fault of a third party.
About to become more grim
Another incorrect presence report
"Someone is responsible yet no one is held accountable. THIS is the problem with leadership at AT&T."
American Thugs & Thieves
BIG surplus ahead, that's why. Next Question.
Someone is responsible yet no one is held accountable. THIS is the problem with leadership at AT&T.
OP nailed it. Those questions cover 90% of what is wrong within AT&T.
One answer to many questions of why? Because nobody cares and they hope you’ll leave.
Some HR person claimed those problems don't exist at at recent meeting about workforce etiquette. They claimed they monitor work force occupancy and if it's below some threshold, they react but apparently they haven't had to.
I guess they think building a new parking lot isn't an issue given they think they can handle it the way they can just shove another desk in a hallway.
Write that business insider contact and share your experience
Great questions, OP. Need someone in leadership with a big pair to answer them
“ Because RTO is an industry standard. T leadership didn’t create the initiative“
Hey dimwit bootlicker….
One, it’s NOT an industry standard. The vast majority of companies in this sector and others still use a structured hybrid approach for their management employees.
Two, what IS very much standard everywhere is having adequate seating for employees you are asking to work in a corporate office.
Except here.
"Because RTO is an industry standard. T leadership didn’t create the initiative"
Pretty clear OP asked about residual conditions of RTO. Please try to keep up.
“Why is all of leadership so silent about these conditions?”
Because RTO is an industry standard. T leadership didn’t create the initiative.
yawn, always have something to bi--h about. open your own damn company see how difficult running a company is dimwit.
Go play with your John, Jeff and Jeremy dolls in your AT&T playset, corporate shill.
I hate my life and would prefer to blame others than take any type of action to change my situation.
I have no personality or hobbies so the company I work for is my entire life and its executives are infallible. I keep portraits of them in my home, just like the leaders in North Korea, and cry myself to sleep every time I read the negative words from internet meanies about them.
"Why is all of leadership so silent about these conditions?"
Most Townhalls try to avoid these topics. Intermediate leadership has been given little guidance from higher levels. You cannot fail if you never attempt to answer the first question about the real world shortcomings of the AT&T RTO plan. The issues in the questions posed by the OP do not exist if you adhere to this logic.
"Is this to say AT&T is unable to reliably track who is accessing their network and resources?"
Security in AT&T has been a industry joke for years. The best way into a company network is through a AT&T product offering. Check for yourself, research the Arris routers used with Uverse.
Is this to say AT&T is unable to reliably track who is accessing their network and resources? Not surprised based on previous data grabs.
This is the kind of review that needs to be on Glassdoor and LinkedIn. People have been deceived for too long, and need to begin to see AT&T for what it is.
Why are the working conditions as they are at AT&T?? Because they don’t care what the employees think. It’s also a good guess that if leadership makes it uncomfortable enough that people will quit and T won’t have to pay out the severance when it comes to the next mass layoff session.
"OP was not stating an opinion. They were questioning work conditions that any person/employee of reasonable intelligence would recognize as current topics of concern for the majority of employees of AT&T. Those concerns encompass substandard working environments, expectations that introduce increased incidences of failure, exposing AT&T's lack of competence in application and process development, potential violations of labor law, and the absence of any meaningful leadership within AT&T."
Man, that certainly resonates with me. Perfectly summarizes my 6 years here.
Um, what? You may very well have good points, but they are not well-communicated with the lack of punctuation, poor grammatical skills, and awkward sentence structure. No one speaks like you write; but if they did, it would be a tedious conversation with the constant deciphering it would require.
Correct your wrong deeds not someone English…When someone hit at right spot, many people start remembering their Goooood damnnnn English……!!!!!
“Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.” George Carlin
You fail to provide safe and secure place to your employees, you fail to provide good services to your customers, and when they are complaining and showing how incompetent AT&T leadership or HRs are then you start crying “ open your own damn company see how difficult running a company”. WTH..
English cannot be your first language. Everything you write sounds like it's been sent through some bad beta version of a translation app.
yawn, always have something to bi--h about. open your own damn company see how difficult running a company is dimwit.

In February i was slapped on the wrist for my hours in January. The report said I only worked 2.5 hours in January. That was so incorrect, I was putting my hours as required and they never got back to me. I was able to access the report and it was such a joke. My badge swipe times were wrong, very wrong and my hours online were worst. AT&T needs to fix this reporting system if it's going to be used to retaliate against their emplo.
"If you think things are so “grim”l why in the world do you stay?"
Always going to be naysayers when the points are valid. We live in a cancel culture.

The beatings will continue until someone files a lawsuit. Notice leaders are walking a fine line with what they are saying about hours required, core hours, etc. but doing the opposite. They know they are crossing the legal line, hr knows they crossed the line, until we collectively sue or someone does, it’s going to continue. But we all know where this is going to end.
There are some post were someone was mentioning its April why we are discussing January report.
Because employees fired based on January report is a kind of scam AT&T has done.
In January offices were over crowded because AT&T contractors were also coming to office and it was too hard to find a place. If someone came to office and just made presence that was due to showing off they are meeting 3 days core location presence. Imagine someone is in office and running here and there to find a seat and he has to join an important meeting. If he would fail to join then also he would be blamed and his performance would be in question.
If someone will stay in same core location and there will be enough desks then why they will come and go quickly. In January end a message send to contractors to not come to office, then there were some relax in finding desks. But then also if you go by 8 am in office you will need to sit in dinning area or some chair where there is no desk at all. If you sit or stand there , you will get lot of health issues due to ergonomically its not right. So it was a scam and wrong deeds to make January report basis to fire any one. Its unethical, where you are failing to provide safe, secure place to your employees and still firing them and that too many people proved January report was lot of wrong information and many people time didn’t captured properly.
