It’s interesting how big companies seem to always be in headlines when they lay people off. How has ATT managed to stay under the radar when it seems like they’ve done more layoffs than anyone else? Is it because T cuts less people at one given time but just more frequently as opposed to one big layoff event? Surprised that with all the people upset on here no one has gone to the media and blasted T for having a plan that cuts more than 40K American Jobs over the next however many years to get to under 100K employees.

The average person doesn’t give a flip about T after paying their monthly cell phone bill.
“We really don't need that many workers.”
CORRECTION…why don’t need that many VP’s!
No need to lay people off if you just make them so miserable they quit on their own.
The company does shady things to weasel out of having them viewed as official layoffs.
Like moving someone to a contractor company where supposedly nothing’s changed except who their paycheck comes from, but then a year to the day later that company lets the person go, and AT&T got rid of them without technically laying them off.
Then with this RTO/relocation cr-p, they’ve been dragging it out for well over a year, hoping people quit rather than wait months and months for their severance, so the company can cheap out on paying it to as many people as possible and also avoid layoff headlines.
And then they’ll act like those ideas are silly conspiracy theories, when it’s clear as day that that’s what those sociopaths are doing.
Why haven’t you gone to the media. What are you waiting for? Why is it up to everyone else? Grow a pair!
“They moved the role” stup1d
T has been surgical with layoffs. While the overall rounds of layoffs have been quite large, never above the threshold of required reporting in a specific locality, for example, one metro area. It's mass layoff by a thousand little cuts across the company / country...
T received headlines for RTO last spring when the initiative was first laid out. This allowed leadership to get ahead of the story. Layoffs are now old news for T. Nothing to report here.

The media doesn’t care, they are more concerned with marketing the current Whitehouse…..
