Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Time for Cricket to help retire $134B of debt. Let's all kick in to get this done, the sooner the better.

It's quite apparent that you already drank the kool-aid you've lost your mind! Kick in for what, do what, are you insane? This company CEO supported the bad choices made by Randal Stephenson, now he can figure out on his own how to fix this mess. I will do nothing to help this man because he should have done the right thing a long time ago and forfeited his gazillion dollar salary! Everybody else has to pay the price except for him!

I thought this was an AT&T blog?

You, me and they are just cogs in the wheel. The big wheel is shrinking

Overtime for management is authorized to help alleviate employee cuts.

T has no choice but to continue downsizing its workforce given its financial state.

Rumors flying that July will be a bloodbath too.

Honestly this is a blow to a already lean organization. I work for this side of the business and the crazy part is we just had a reduction in team in October... Not even a full half a year and this comes.. tbh we're under Paid for similar roles on the att side.. yet we get hit, and I get it, no one is safe.. but damn, we have consistently hit and exceeded targets for the value segment and we're the leader and still this happens... Good luck to everyone out there.. especially in this economy where the job market extremely bad.

Yup. T you are now a d-mb pipe!

better sell cricket before it gets devalued like every acquisition

Can confirm. Ten percent of the Org will be cut by May 29th. It was a big shock to everyone. Cricket was responsible for the most of the net adds produced throughout the entire org this quarter and runs very, very lean. I have no idea where they would cut.

Race to the bottom has started. $15/ line for talk, text and data. Yep only 1GB then it slows.
We need costs out of the business to increase margins.
It will be an online only business shortly.

Why only 10%?

This is correct info. And they’re doing it at regular T not just Cricket. Treating impacted employees like cr-p!
They used to give a little dignity to those exiting. They probably decided that’s no longer necessary bc T doesn’t get debt reduction by being decent to those who are leaving.

This has been kept really quiet. Crickets.

In other news, water is wet.

TEE HEE, TEE HEE.

Yeah, just heard from a friend on that side that they are reducing 10% of the organization.. and this is the side where they are running lean as it is.. July 8th is final day for those impacted..
