Same amount of work if not more with way less people. Sad

No longer able to talk about how hard I work. Gonna have to do some actual work.
I stopped giving T my 100% a long time ago! T has proven time and again that the employees aren't their biggest asset, but more of a liability! T is doing its best to eliminate its liabilities on the income statement and employee headcount is the easiest way to balance the the books. I do as little as possible for this company and am anxiously waiting to be called for my pink slip because I know it's definitely coming!
"Workload? Seriously?? I used to work hard always giving 110%, but no more. I am safe - for now - but I will never work hard again. For what?"
I am NOT safe since I don't live within commuting distance of a hub. I don't know exactly when the ax will fall on me, but fall it will. My severance started with Legg's email. Of course, that followed Stankey's communication, but Legg's email drove it home. I am doing only enough work to support my colleagues, as I will not leave them in a lurch, but otherwise doing as little as possible. I have NEVER been one who hasn't given 110% at least. But as Jeremy Legg stated in his communication: "We're going about the business of working completely differently today." He got that right. I'm in minimal mode. Am I worried? No. What are they going to do... fire me? LOL. That's coming not matter how much effort I put in. Now it's just a matter of playing the game until the actual dismissal occurs.
Do only what you can do. They will eventually give you OT so they do not have misses. The Union Way!
Sadly, the company will be left with most of these unskilled good old boys type people in Dallas and Atlanta. They were never known for any innovation ideas or advanced technology. They will whine about their increased workload, but not have any empathy for their peers who got axed.
I was laid off earlier this year. I saw the ugly human nature when the good old boy guys in Texas were just glad it's not them, and all they cared about was their increased workload. Those guys got to stay only because their location, not skills or performance. They have been doing the same stuff over and over again with no updated skills.
so true
Many full-time employees at T have only worked part-time schedules for years, so the new workloads won’t be too bad. But full-time employees will have full-time schedules moving forward.

Automation, bots or contractors will do it. And they’ll hide behind a website with a chatbot to send any complaints or questions in circles. If you think it isn’t possible, they have done it for years already. They’ll keep a couple of people on just to handle stuff the bot kicks out or the contractors make an error on. Then eventually they’ll just shut that department down.
Yeah, but this is nothing new. There’s only so many hours in the day. Stuff just doesn’t get done is the bottom line.
The employees are going away, but the work isn’t. Unless you are getting paid OT, I would never work a minute over 40 hours.
