Too many techs on the book in the Midwest. 2 and 2 will be on the books for Q 4. I imagine there will be a lot of takers

It makes sense to do, which why I’m doubtful. Paying upfront and getting them off the books saves money long term. Once they are off payroll and give the pension bump, you save on paying wages, healthcare costs are reduced, insurance, etc. Then a smart company would start hiring little by little either 5 years from top pay or as apprentices. Then as people retire or those that refuse to leave, die. The apprentices can be bumped up to journeyman, and have work experience to do the job for journeyman wages. There is alot to learn for field work. This applies to the C/O too. If they think a field tech or someone off the street will learn the C/O in a couple years or less have not worked a C/O.
There are alot of bodies buried in the C/O. Equipment should be there but is on the opposite end of the building, numbering wrong on the frame, tons of obscure equipment that Techsupport doesn’t know but is still in service and grandfathered. Tricks to keep timing in an office if the gps clock goes down using a D4. Luckily for techs in the future T1 and above and fiber is easy. The old analog stuff with E&M, and DX and DX reversed signaling is on its last legs and heading toward a slow death. I’m sure there will be stragglers like the FAA stuff and dealing with our esteemed geniuses at Harris. It takes years to learn everything when doing it regularly, it takes longer when working on it intermittently.
That will never happen. They will offer voluntary SIPP before that happens and they usually get a good amount of takers on that. Some are just waiting for that offer.
Fake news
There was a digit left off here, it will be a 2&2&2 offer.
2 an 2 means...
2 BAD 2 SAD. NO PACKAGE FOR YOU
They stay because they promised their spouse the offer would come again. They don’t want their families to know what id--ts they were when they passed it up before.
Won’t be any offers now or in the future. Severance is the best you’re going to get along with declining benefits the longer you wait. I have no idea why many of you haven’t punched out yet. I would be so gone if I was eligible.
I’ve heard the same rumor but it came from an unreliable source, now I see it here and I still don’t trust it.
Two in the pink and two in the stink.
AT&T is busted a-s broke. Look for a bankruptcy declaration by EOY 2023!
Stop the madness Stankey, everyone's just loves your newly developed twitch! Adds a lot of character!
have you not seen our stock!!??
can't even pay the janitor and you expect 2 and 2???
2 be or not 2 be, that is the question?
Yeah goodbye 2 all of you....you have 2 seconds to hit the door.
NOT.
They can do that. But they won’t.
Chuck Woolery says back in 2 and 2. Can you feel the Love Connection.
can they do that?
Or they can just pay severance pay
There will be no offers.
Stop hallucinating and spreading fake news.
Wtf’s 2 and 2?
