Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

There’s no “Corporate America” anymore, as all these Fortune 100 C-suiters are avaricious, globalist Machiavellians sl--e.

I am already gone.

Highly educated, motivated and quick learning workers in India are cheap and micromanageable.

Even Baich can't make up a good story when pressed about why US workers have to be colocated but yet we can do massive hiring outside the country with workers that are hardly that. Lately they try to pivot off the hub argument that they use for US workers claiming "around the sun development" yet they can't name any project where one person in India is working on the same exact piece of code that someone in the US then takes over the next day. That's because development like that just doesn't work.

You can have teams of people working on parts of projects but not the same exact code such that they have to daily figure out what someone changed while they were sleeping.

Just read the comments here Uncle Fester! Hope you’re proud of the AT&T sh-t show on full display to the world and Wall Street. No wonder the stock has been the biggest stink bo-b ever traded on the NYSE.

Do the needful 🤣

Move the entire T sh-t show to Bangalore, India.

You should have heard Michael Ford (SVP-CRE) during the finance town hall. When asked about changing culture at ATT he stated, verbatim, "we change people, or we change people". So much for diversity of thought that they all crow about.

Re: Richard Baich town hall:

"Meanwhile, he didn't even have the ba--s to fire two VP's in person and did it over the phone from out of the country. Then hired a replacement guy with no security experience and a lifer from some other company that he used to work with. So much for waiting for a death to replace that "opportunity". "

And, the replacement guy hired went on and on about the town hall regarding how wonderful Richard Baich was. I expected him to offer a kidney or a first born in homage to this great leader. It was enough to make me want to throw up. Anyone in CSO should be prepared for even more brown nosing than usual.

Those fellow employees are people who were vendor employees previously and were rebadged to ATT. It was just optics. It’s the same people who were off shore/out-sourced last year.

“ Highly educated, motivated and quick learning workers in India”
Surely you jest, you realize their “degree” programs are what most of us in the US would call certificates. More like degree farms. Some of them are good, most just pass the buck and get kickbacks from the people they hire. Ever wonder why there are 40 of them on a call and only 1 or 2 ever talk?

Baich had his town hall yesterday. Seems he's quickly been hooked on the same Legg kool-aid and is using the same expression already. Also didn't answer any of the good questions people submitted just like Legg doesn't. Do people really care about "active armor spam phone software" at a town hall over other concerns?

They did ask him about the lack of promotions and opportunities since we only seem to be laying off people domestically. Surprised he didn't say "move to India". His only answer to the question was to say you have to wait for people to die or retire and take advantage of that opportunity. Meanwhile, he didn't even have the ba--s to fire two VP's in person and did it over the phone from out of the country. Then hired a replacement guy with no security experience and a lifer from some other company that he used to work with. So much for waiting for a death to replace that "opportunity".

It's all about money and power. Highly educated, motivated and quick learning workers in India are cheap and micromanageable. I've seen more and more of my work tasks and functions supposedly"automated" however when I need to fix failed stuff called "fallout", I've found human workers overseas actually worked on it. Obviously my work wasn't just automated, it was off-shored. I understand my job will soon be eliminated but I've accepted that fact and I'm ready to be laid off.
