Think the rat will finally get smoked out of its hole and be forced to release the recording?
Desperate bald, red-nosed fu-k is trying so hard to dismiss it.
“lay them off in disproportionate numbers to everyone else.”
This hasn’t happened.
" Yes, you sign a waiver when you accept that severance, but it cannot protect the company from violating Federal Law."
Who is downvoting that? Are you so dim that you don't get it?
Do you not understand that age is a protected class, same as s-xual orientation, or race/ ethnicity?
It is the same exact scenario as if Stankey blurting out during a Town Hall, "we still have too many black folks working here", and proceeded to lay them off in disproportionate numbers to everyone else. From an Employment Law perspective, it's the same exact thing.
" It will not jeopardies your severance because age discrimination is a civil rights violation."
This is 100% correct, and often missed here.
Yes, you sign a waiver when you accept that severance, but it cannot protect the company from violating Federal Law.
There may be a law firm in Atlanta that rhymes with Stankey that could be prepping a suit. A friend who was full time office had no attendance issues, and great yearly reviews just got laid off in the last round contacted them. They sacked him four months prior to his rule of 75. Before reaching out, you must have an EEOC complaint filed. This case in Texas is being watched carefully, the fact that the judge denied the at&t motion to dismiss is huge. Do yourself a favor get yourself on record with an EEOC complaint, "its free online". This is going to be obvious once it gets in front of a jury. None of the H1B's were let go and the fact that they only gave you two weeks was a dead giveaway they didn't want older workers to find a job somewhere else in the company. File the EEOC complaint TODAY. It will not jeopardies your severance because age discrimination is a civil rights violation. This is what level AT&T is at, or so it seems in the Legg organization.
This case was just dismissed today.
“What chance will I have for justice with a racist DEI lawsuit with these people.”
No chance. There is no case.
You’re just so mindful for how you care so much about discrimination 👍
But only when it happens to you 👎
" Young people are just smarter and more motivate"
Yes.
"UR just smarter and more motivate"
Yup.
Don’t bother with this law firm.They’re a black lives matter first company.
I’m white. I believe that all lives matter. What chance will I have for justice with a racist DEI lawsuit with these people. For all you racist people that categorize and classify people by skin color and prioritize humans based on some mysterious systemic racism floating around like a ghost in the ethos, go stick your finger in a light socket.
Young people are just smarter and more motivate.
true
I never made any attempt to maintain current technical skills and am not relevant in the current marketplace but like to blame DEI and age discrimination for my current situation.
Or, wait for it… “I never made any attempt to pull up my pants, grow an individual identity as a hard working go getter, to be highly qualified in the marketplace so that it was obvious that I was the better choice for the job, and instead waited for a white guilt movement to yank me into the workplace, ready or not, coddle me and promote me as I look the other way with because I can”t possibly keep a straight face, and then laugh my mther fkin a$$ off at the kitchen dinner table about how these dum a$$ whte people are throwing themselves at my feet to right a wrong that hasn’t existed in my personal lifetime. There, now I fixed for you also.
@g5 Thank you! I will be contacting them in the morning as I have filled an EEOC complaint from my 4/7/25 termination and have my interview this coming week. A law suit would be a good choice also!
"If you go to the link, just below the heading information, there are two tabs."
Thanks for the guidance. I actually contacted them in 2023 from a phone in 1025 Lenox Park and left Mattiaci a message giving him the date of Stankey's Town Hall. I also mentioned that this was the first town hall to not be made public and that he would need to subpoena AT&T to gain access to it.
Multiple officers and executives have made these sorts of statements going back to April 2023, when this particular scheme kicked off. Wish I had recorded them or taken transcripts. It’s certainly OK to realize some younger blood can help the company appeal to newer generations’ needs, but that is the sort of thing that requires strategy and years of replacing through natural attrition. AT&T is not very good at strategizing beyond someone at or near the top trying to keep their job. Reactive vs. proactive.
And... this law firm has a history of winning cases against AT&T for age discrimination.
From their site (looks like it was in 2016):
https://www.consolelaw.com/worker-wins-age-discrimination-case-against-att/
Oops.. it's actual "Console Console Mattiaci Law, LLC" (the law firm representing the defendant). Sorry - missed the first word.
I assume it's this company:

@f9 (re: "Did anyone get the name of the attorney for the plaintiff. I would like to contact the attorney.")
If you go to the link, just below the heading information, there are two tabs. The page defaults to the "docket" tab, but the second tab ("Parties") shows that the lawyer for the defendant is DANIEL S. ORLOW at Mattiaci Law, LLC
Good luck!
“ Young people are just smarter and more motivate.”
Part BS and partially accurate. Their “motivation” is based on naïveté & sheer ignorance of hard, cold reality.
Young people are just smarter and more motivate.
This is one of the first cases being taken on by Kim Kardashian.
Did anyone get the name of the attorney for the plaintiff. I would like to contact the attorney.
The plaintiff attorney really needs to try to get this to class action status.
This is a tough topic because it applies far outside of AT&T. It's a national issue. As a country, we are too gray. We need younger people who are motivated to succeed and build new industries. Countries that are less gray are doing this. We are stuck in the past. As everyone rages against the inevitable, our country is losing a global economic war. Think about it.
You never deserved the job based on merit but instead relied on discriminatory DEI that used identity and age for hire, promotion and layoff. Direct violation of the civil rights act, the Supreme Court already ruled against affirmative action, synonymous with DEI.
There, I corrected it for you!
It everyone but this sounds more right than wrong.
I never made any attempt to maintain current technical skills and am not relevant in the current marketplace but like to blame DEI and age discrimination for my current situation.
Stank is correct in stating that the workforce skews older; however, you then can say we need to find younger workers and start laying off the older workers. That’s discrimination any way you put it. Open mouth insert foot for sure. Only way ATT wins this is having it thrown out in some technicality. They know they are going to lose badly on this.
Way too much hate and lack of empathy on this forum.
Bunch of selfish d1-kwad$ (including the guy who can’t spell “you are” and the lazy schmuck who’s too lazy to type it out).
Ur just a pile of 3rd graders.
Ur’s truly,
Embarrassed 2nd grader
Layoff rounds have been impacting all age brackets. Of course a lot of older employees will be included since they have high representation. #NothingToSeeHere
"They are making all the people we boot sign a clause saying they can't sue."
They can't make anyone do anything. More accurate to say employees decide to accept the conditions of the severance offer.
Although the Stink is a huge POS, an deserves to burn i H E L L, Toxic-T has infinite lawyers and win all these lawsuits by fighting it unit the plaintiffs are deceased!
Oh yeah, we got Stankey on the run! He's going down!!
He was simply stating facts that the employee demographic at T skews older. This is a fact.
Let’s put 2+2 together. He’s laying people off and replacing them. He says “we have to get younger”. So, if he’s replacing old people with young people that’s ____based_____
“ Stankey wasn’t being discriminatory. He was simply stating facts that the employee demographic at T skews older. This is a fact.”
He said it in the context that we skew TOO old and we need to get younger. It was a massive f-up. They basically admitted it by no longer recording these town halls and he referenced “getting in a lot of trouble” for it a few months later I when he spoke at what I believe was ERG conference.
I now record all of these town halls myself because when Stankey or these other stooges go off script, watch out. McElfresh probably should have a cattle prod in his pocket just in case.
u all are too sensitive… ur old. grow tf up and deal with it. ur not gonna be young ur entire life. the older employees collect big checks and arent willing to learn new tech or processes since theyre so used to their old ways… bunch of old babies. stop yapping and prove this mf wrong.
“Then proceeded to layoff old people you d-mb f-k.”
Layoffs across age groups were done. Elderly employees were included but not directly targeted..
How many Virtual Office or H1B people got let go ? will they release the numbers on that. I think a ratio of that vs who did get let go would be VERY telling.
@b0 The people who got the boot have a disclosure page in their package that lists the age of everyone in their org. It was put there clearly as a disclosure to head this off.
“They are making all the people we boot sign a clause saying they can't sue.”
There is a clause in the document that, by law, excludes federal and civil rights violations. The reason this clause is included is so that the entire document is not deemed null and void.
Stankey wasn’t being discriminatory. He was simply stating facts that the employee demographic at T skews older. This is a fact.
Then proceeded to layoff old people you d-mb f-k.
