I've been here for two decades. Never before have I seen so many people just outright frustrated with the company and its leadership and their ability to mess up everything they touch. Why hasn't there been a major shakeup in top T leadership considering the lack of results for such a long time?

You see, true leadership consists of holding the "little people" accountable in between trips to the golf course.
"Leadership is holding employees more accountable for work."

- You're kidding, right? They are eliminating people by location (RTO) and role (surplus). They aren't evaluating letting employees go according to skill, just by location and role. That means in places the experienced, invested, hard working, "get it done" employees get let go and the slacker "lucky to show up today" employee stays.
- You use the word "leadership". Either you don't work at AT&T, you one of the slackers mentioned above, or you're a C Suite id--t that thinks you're actually doing a good job. Our executives are not "leading" anything.
Bring on the next employee survey! LOL
This is the Hudsucker Proxy in real life...
I do not think leadership is holding employees accountable as most are just worried about their own jobs and when Wave 2 and 3 will hit them. I find if anything upper level management Lev 3, 4, are checked out and just as disconnected as employees these days concerned with their own fate and longevity.
trying to get anything done is like playing 20 games of chess at the same time all by mail.
You can't make anyone do anything, because they are also waiting on 20 different chess games. Somehow the phone network still works. I have no idea how.
I find it much less frustrating than it used to be. They strip benefits, strip pay, strip health insurance, etc. so they taught me not to give a sh1t. 35 hours a week and I’m done. It’s like I work part time now.
“With so much layoffs, I actually have to work now. Unhappy.”
Wait until your overtime requirements Increase.
The answer is crystal clear…it’s “destruction by design”. The only sense this makes is that Skunkey, his minions & (complicit) BoD are intentionally driving T into the abyss. The reason could vary, but it’s far beyond “just” incompetence.
just look at the data breach instead of taking accountability for those that decided to push customer private data to the cloud and those making the contracts and third party arrangements, instead let's push it under the rug and force hours and hours of training to those not involved in the decision making process
I am frustrated that the skills I have is obsolete and I haven't kept up with that internet thing.
With so much layoffs, I actually have to work now. Unhappy.
Crybabies
“This is bullsh-t. I have worked at 5 telecoms.”
It sounds like you are the problem.
This is bullsh-t. I have worked at 5 telecoms. AT&T by far has the most unrealistic expectations and their management class is constantly brainwashed 24x7 and made to be in fear and panic. It is the most panic based org ever. Good try
Leadership is holding employees more accountable for work. Of course many employees aren’t going to like having to put more effort in and produce.

This is so on point.
Agreed with top leadership inability to make purchasing decisions. Losing billions of dollars ie
T Mobil, Direct tv, Time warner. Now employees have to pay in the form of layoffs to make for their mistakes.
