When the music stops playing there will only be 2 hub locations- Dallas/Atlanta. I would expect Atalanta to go away once Legg leaves the business leaving only Dallas.

That my friend, is the secret of the world. Not just here, but anywhere. Always has been, always will be. Yes you need to know stuff and be able to deliver, but it’s the who you know AND using those connections that matters more.
A lot of very smart folks in NJ both Labs and a few left in IT also. Big mistake if they lose these folks that I have had the pleasure to work with the past few years. Can't lose the brains then what will be left? .

Not so, I had a co-worker sue the company and win a couple of times for breach of the contract, he wasn’t a union member. AT&T has a policy against retaliation, if it would happen another lawsuit would ensue, easy win in court after already winning one.

I think the next legal inquiries T will face is (1)why so many still have work out of hub authorization while the rest lost their jobs or get to the office as required & (2) why the same people get Connection Awards over those who made a stronger impact…

Maybe we should start inquiries to how the Connection Awards were arrived at…
And lastly, hats off to the person who had the courage to call out the inconsistency.
While the review was for one person/organization, the process should be learned and applied for all. Be sure to understand the process and use it wherever you may be…
