Will the contractors that are left in ATS be able to get virtual status? How easy/difficult will be for managers to let contractors have virtual status while requiring full time employees RTO? Doesn't the classifications full time employees on a team apply to those contractors on the same team? That is, these are contractors who work within an ATT team and not at their own company site and are blended among ATT employees. Who will enforce these statuses with contractors?

Based on some of the comments on this post, looks like we got some contractors monitoring the layoff status. Once employees ROT on a daily basis, they will start looking at contractors who are virtual. Managers at hub sites will notice and employees will talk about it. It will become a topic of conversation.
Contractors are not impacted in this round.
Contractors will be doing our work once we dip. Good luck with that~
Apparently contractors can be trusted to be remote workers. Also they don't need to collaborate. Makes a Manager feel real special now.
Remember the bottom of that email said "applies to AT&T managers". No one cares about contractors.
None of this mess has anything to do with contractor's work locations.
Focus on your own status and position. Do better!
Contractors in my work group will continue to work at home. This does not affect them.

No, it does not. Contractors will not be asked to come into the office if it's not in their contracts. AT&T is free to buy out the contract and/or write in RTO into their next contract if both parties accept.
