Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

This is the first year I’ve ever taken caregiver leave, but i plan to fully use it this year. In the past- if I had a kids dr appointment, sickness etc - I just worked from home (or often the waiting room). But this year - i plan to fully use it

The only reason I use Paid Caregiver PTO is when a situation pulls me away from the office after about 6 hours. So I use a couple of hours to account for my 8 hrs of RTO. I still work those two hours when I get home. I never needed to use the Paid Caregiver PTO when we were hybrid because I always got my 8 hrs in, just not all 8 in the office.

They cannot ask for medical documentation and records...and you'd be a mo--n for willingly providing it. Just use your caregiver days, you have plenty...

Public sector (government contract) workers were told they had to charge a set number of hours to contract or it would go against their performance. For some workers, that meant if they took more than about 3 days of anything not directly related to their contract, they wouldn't make their performance review commitments. That included sick time, care giver leave, employee service days, required company training, and basically anything like group meetings, performance reviews.

Afterwards, they had an HR person talk who essentially said "there are some people who take 20+ days towards these things but most are on the low end of just a few days. We think the high end people are abusing the system so that's the reason for the contract threshold limit." So if you are an exception case like having someone who needs a lot of care (but still within their allowed HR limit) or if you get sick or need surgery, well, you become the exception and will be penalized for it at review time.

Where you getting that from? There’s nothing in the documentation about it. I’ve never heard of anyone doing it

Y’all best get y’all ace into work fool. Y’all work foe Att..

All my coworkers use of their caregiver time when their kids are off from school on holiday breaks. 70% of my workgroup had christmas to new years off as caregiver. They don't care what you use it for. Use it up

Caregiver time on the golf course?

There is sick time, too. Do what you gotta do.

Legally, the company cannot ask for a non-employees health care needs.
