How many more pockets of "hidden" or undiscovered employees performing obsolete work activities are out there? I say plenty, it's like the perverbial employee who was employed by at&t for 40 years who was never responsible for anything. Fell through the cracks, so to speak. Good money if you can get it!

At&t drafters have been like the maytag repairman for the past 25 years. Talk about throwing good money down a rathole!

Drafters at at&t walked around with pocket protectors and slide rules in their pockets. Haven't done any meaningful work since CAD came into play. Which was at least 25 years ago.

We we talk Legacy T we speak of long distance services. When we speak Legacy S Sw Bell/SBC and Legacy B Bell South telephone we are speaking of local service, POTS, ISDN and local LEC services. Legacy T has never been considered local, its long distance and the old AT&T before the merger

Honest question. What does a drafter do?

I’m from field mobility and I know a lot of us in areas where we don’t have legacy networks don’t even realize we have landline groups doing whatever they need to do. Or even fully realize how vast this company is with its roles and titles.

When we talk about Legacy T, are we talking about copper telephone specifically or is all of the optical infrastructure included?

(Referring to the POTS portion of AT&T)
