I am in a technical group and our RTO neighborhood is made up of software engineers writing reqts and a few developers. We have a Customer Service person in our aisle and have no clue what he is doing there?. He is on the phone 8 hours a day and blasts his speaker phone and screams to talk. Everyone is so fed up with it as we can not even concentrate to do our work. Most around him have had to move into other aisles. It is unfortunate as we work together and use to be able to just pop into each others office with a question. Now we just call or teams each other with questions so does not matter where one sits So much for the neighborhood concept and collaboration.
I love going into the office and listening to the lady talk loudly about personnel and fmla issues on the phone. It is rather entertaining.
@oyf+1tGUB9SY we use chatgpt for most of our forecasting scripts
Just put the medicair bridge back in place and diminish their coverage of it over the next years and they will get tons of people to retire, and the age group the hate anyway. And what they spend covering that medicair bridge they will more than make up for in reduction in salaries and reduction in pension/401K contributions.
"if they want people to quit all they have to do is offer the severance package, they'll clean house and will reach their quota in the next 2 weeks"
Not sure if it was Stankey or Sambar who tackled this, but they said, why would they pay people to leave? Esp those who are already eligible. So now, they want people to manually leave 1st. Then RTO 2nd, demand unrealistic goals, 3rd, make them work 2 or 4x because of RTO 4th.

“If I was a boss, I would want you to actually work for your pay.”
Not at office == not working
Typical talentless “helicopter manager” kind of thinking.

yes. shadow layoff to avoid the press news. ATT quiet quit its employees.
Budgeting and forecasting??? Your job is exactly what AI is coming for.
Except at AT&T, RTO was really a good way to get an early retirement booster with the 6 month severance. Good luck succeeding with a bunch of employees who can’t get jobs at any other company!!
Well, doh. We knew that. I absolutely look forward to go to the office, sit down, clean these nasty public space, and listen to several conferences next to me, while I try to concentrate, focus on budgeting, forecasting etc. Says no one ever.
