Cricket needs an adjustment, leadership needs to change it up and fix it. Time for reorgs and new management, we can’t have productive, stable and happy human capital. The mission is top down, narcissistic management to create a toxic workplace and destroy market cap.

The workplace culture in the cricket side is fantastic. I don’t think I could ever go back to blue. Cricket operates totally different from the blue side.

T culture - watch the managers kiss the ring and bow to the “leadership” people hoping to curry favor. I swear if you sit on these calls with L3- L6 you’d think they were talking to the king. These people would literally bow if asked. It’s pretty disgusting to watch the worship. I’m on these calls a lot btw, it is awful. Not to mention how the edicts come out after and are the wrong solutions time and time again. Anyways, outside of that, most of the L2 office workers are just waiting on an axe to fall. Most people I talk with are just waiting on a severance to retire. A LOT of people plan to leave at the end of this year. It’s going to be a mess when some of these folks leave. It really is as they have done nothing to cross train and most jobs are not being backfilled, just dumped onto someone else that already has too much. Hence why I’m on these “leadership” calls a lot, to find out how to fix things that we used to do, but now is a problem because no one owns it anymore that so and so got laid off or retired.

T WORKPLACE CULTURE is——-Playing MUSICAL CHAIRS:

  1. TO EVEN FIND AN AVAILABLE CHAIR/DESK
  2. TO SEE WHO will still have a CHAIR when the music stops vs. WHO is the latest casualty to be shown the DOOR, WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK.
  3. T employees paying the price (losing their jobs) because of BAD C-Suite leadership & BAD BOD decisions!

That is T CULTURE!

It's pretty obvious that Stankey read 1984 not as a great work of fiction but as a blue print for how to run the company.

'“Give me a f____ing desk”
This doesn’t align with the intended goal of collaboration where employees should regularly be seeking opportunities to interact with different groups of people. '

How does it help collaboration goals if no one knows where each other is day in and day out because we constantly are playing musical chairs?

The culture survey closed March 8. The Feb 26 email said “results will be shared…”. May 31 and crickets so far.

“This doesn’t align with the intended goal of collaboration where employees should regularly be seeking opportunities to interact with different groups of people.”

The last time I saw people interacting in the office was a bunch of people who just got fired for living in the wrong place talking about it with people who got lucky and got extensions or whatever.

Haven’t seen anything since.

Even people in Dallas just sit on teams, it’s all a joke.

To quote “Sonny” from ‘A Bronx Tale’…nobody cares!

“Were I on fire, no one would pi$$ on me.

People just don't care anymore.”

CEO who everyone hates and is an id--t. Old stodgy brand customers had. Su-k at every single metric for service delivery. Lots of fear. Lots of threat. High paying. Glad its high paying, elsewise no one would do it

I wouldn’t know. I don’t talk to anyone. I go to the office on Monday and Friday. The days everyone else works from home. I get the whole office to myself and watch movies on my phone all day. Occasionally standing to get the motion lights to turn back on. I can’t complain.

“Give me a f____ing desk”

Where I work, we all just took a desk. It’s easier to ask forgiveness then permission.

A lot of back stabbing here at T because people you thought were friends now have to fend for themselves, nobody here has your back. You're on your own here in a sea of despair!

If one of you posts something positive here, even if sarcastic, Stank and the gang will interpret that as good. They do read this board

  • John you are doing an amazing job. The company isn’t being driven into the ground. You look like you know what you are doing.

I'd say it most closely resembles Aztec culture where priests cut the hearts out of people and threw them in volcanoes.
