Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

OP has been spot on these three waves.
Andy from CDO said exact thing in his return to work meeting.

Anyone who thinks the C-suite will keep the same strategy until 2026 hasn't been here very long.

But the Stanker said “generous relocation…”

For those who think closing hubs such as San Ramon and St. Louis is a lie, you obviously missed the email. We got the Legg up on this one.

I’m sure they negotiated some kind of tax incentive with the city of Dallas and Atlanta before moving 1000s of people. Companies always extract a gift when adding large numbers of taxpayers and home buyers especially highly paid ones.

Only Dallas Cowboys fans outside of Dallas are welcomed. Everyone else stay out of Dallas.

Good grief if you are customer facing or operationally focused on a market within a market your office location will not change unless there are multiple locations within and they choose to consolidate within the market. So as example you are C&E, Sales, RAN with responsibility for the example Michigan, you will stay in your current assigned location. Your. It being reassigned to a hub.

The plan is to move all operations centers to the one of the 7 cities. So time is the time to decide do you stay and find a new line of work or sell home and up root your family to a new location. The big pi---r is no guarantee how long you keep your job at the new location.

No wonder they only want to relocate employees to Atlanta and Dallas. The policy is becoming more clear now. I didn't realize the other seven hubs would be shutting down.
Stankey must be running out of money with little to nothing left to sell.

what happens to satellite locations of these hubs - Alpharetta for Atlanta, Plano for Dallas, and Botthell for Seattle?

False. There’s no plans to close the other core locations and certainly not by the times given. At least give a believable lie.

Won't they just make the others outside the hubs virtual workers?

"Wave 3 is all other locations besides Dallas and Atlanta. They will close and the people gone by June 2026. "

Joke's on them. Stankey will ensure AT&T won't exist after July 2025.

"There will be no relocation packages offered."

How can that be?? Stankey said we have generous relocation packages!

Dallas or bust!

Jeremy Legg has people who woke in his org located in local market offices. Those locations are not being closed down as they also house individuals and groups that are assigned to local markets. They aren’t all being closed down, thats not accurate.

This is just for Jeremy Legg's organization (ATS) that this applies. And yes, it is all of the locations even the other 7 cities that are not not Dallas or Atlanta

Are you saying that anything outside the 2 main Hubs in Atlanta and Dallas will be closing down the road? As in even the other 7 core cities?

Lies. You know how we know..they aren’t keeping people on the books for 3 more years just to give them time. This will all be wrapped up by early 2024. Those who work in national or regional roles and who will be asked to go to Dallas, Atalanta or the hub cities will be expected to do so as early as July 10 and later than end of 1Q 2024 (when granted time extension). Anyone currently working in local market functions that require actually being in the local market will simply report to their current designated office locations except where there might be a colocated hub. Office locations and personnel who report to CO’, MTSO’ and Uverse Video hubs will remain at their current locations as those buildings are not being sold or vacated. It’s all that simple.

The same Director who provided all the other info I’ve posted that turned out to be 100% accurate, gave us this info as it was shared with them.
