Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Follow the Work Letter

Why do the follow the work letters that are going out have Dallas listed when we are moving our headquarters 20 miles north in Plano? That is like a 45 min drive just between the locations.

How inconvenient to require people to drive to the Dallas location when the location is changing in 2 years. Who even comes up with this stuff? It is like they are actively trying to cause unnecessary stress and inconvenience to their employees.

@a8

Dallas HQ to Plano might be less than 50miles, but in rush hour traffic that commute is easily 1 hour, plan your residence carefully.

It's because DART is full of the "usual suspects".

If you follow the work you should be renting anyway.

Everyone knows you rent at least the first year wherever you move to. In this case they're telling you a move is necessary in two years. Rent for two years.

@as the DART rail is dangerous. My manager was attacked and had her phone/purse stolen one morning coming to work. Ask any first responder, DART is a haven for bad actors.

Either way Stankey gets a company chauffeur to drive him from his home in Highland Park to Plano!

They can’t exactly have people transferring to Plano, there is no ready facility. 2 years for it to be ready is long time. Locate to Plano Frisco Richardson area for housing and drive or take Dart rail down until then. Not rocket science.

Where have you been for the past 15 years? Of course they are!

Bingo -- make life miserable for the employees so they will quit. Only 40K more employees to go.

It’s less than 50 miles difference so listing Dallas is fine.

The id--t below is a di-k.
They’re just a--holes, and don’t care…you’re right if you’re not clever about it you could end up living in Dallas and having to commute to Plano everyday.
You’re better off obviously getting a place in a suburb and su-king it up for two years and commuting to Dallas…

The appropriate thing would be for them to fu-k off with the letters until the Plano campus is done and let people work from wherever they want, but Stankey is a class A a--hole and the goal isn’t to keep you, it’s to get you to quit - so ofc they’re sending them out hoping you’ll quit.

You really shouldn’t move for this company, tbh.
