Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Then you woke and and it was all a dream. A person can dream, sigh.

truth you won't regret leaving att

I quit AT&T and got a job at Burger King. Love the smell after mopping the floor.

"OP- What industry did you go into?
Congratulations to you!"

I'm still in IT and working for a credit union.

Best thing to have happened to me, and others would be for the Stink to leave! All our problems might disappear if the BoD named anyone else to replace the PoS!

"...no one else has medical/pension like I have with T."

Well pensions for the most part are and have been over for some time now. So you really shouldn't expect that going forward.

I'm management, and I am aware the bargained for medical coverage is superior to what they offer us...but as far as that goes, it's pretty horrible. And I'm REALLY tired of being told how great it is. It is not "industry leading". I know a lot of people. I always ask them about their coverage through their employer. Ours is subpar in every category. Cost, deductibles, etc. My child just started their first job out of college (large employer) and the medical coverage she has is so much better than ours it's staggering. So please...just stop telling me how great it is.

OP- What industry did you go into?

Congratulations to you!

Glad it’s worked out for you but I’m staying for severance then I’ll start the job hunt. Won’t be long because a relocation decision is coming. I’m not letting the failures of the leadership team to drive me away without being fairly compensated for my many years of service and I’ll continue to earn a paycheck until it happens.

I get the reasons so many are ready to leave, toxicity and mental health are big issues along, with RTO, relocating, etc...

"The job market was different in 2022."

I started my new job in 2024.

I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $100.

So did I. Would have lost $350k if I didn’t leave. Luckily I was able to retire. Now volunteer and not under so much stress. AT&T did me well, but at the end, they squeezed me too much.

The job market was different in 2022.

good work!

Is that you, John? Encouraging people to quit with no severance to save you money?

I wasn't aware of the pension cut. Link?

I have full benefits with the new company. They pay for all benefits. Nothing comes out of my check. And... they have a pension!!!

There are opportunities out there. You have to make that leap!!! Do it!
