It’s Boeing all over again.
Pump the share price short term, dump it, execs get golden parachutes, bonuses, exercise their options, dump the shares walk away with tens or hundreds of millions, then the employees who stay are left to pick up the pieces with poor outsourced labor and a lack of domain experts.
What happened to Boeing will happen to T, watch.
"…and the announcement was just made that Dwyer is leaving…."
and then there was one. the lousiest of them all
“The only officers left in ATL are Legg and Dwyer. 1-2 yrs before ATL employees are asked to move to Dallas is my guess.”
…and the announcement was just made that Dwyer is leaving….
LA may move out of the DTV space in El Segundo in 2025 but seems like it will still be there somewhere. VPs have been dropping like flies from there this year though.
“I heard that Dallas is overcrowded now and T will start moving people to Atlanta.”
Imagine that
I heard that Dallas is overcrowded now and T will start moving people to Atlanta.
$4k per person per month is highway robbery right now. They could have negotiated much more advantageous lease terms by seeing how empty the surrounding areas are and playing hardball with the landlords. Instead they moved our office from a central area to the middle of nowhere. We don't even have coffee or anything but sandwiches within walking distance.
Meanwhile the building we left is empty.
Many of the moves are made with the intent of irritating people to the point of leaving so they company won't have to pay them any severance. Consider office space costs at about $32/sq. ft. If you have 125 sq. ft. per employee including cube and common areas, then it costs 4000 per month per person. Moving from one location to another might save 10%, but some of the moves we see are to MORE expensive office space. Therefore, it isn't about saving money on office space. Instead, someone making $200K per year with bonus may be entitled to $100K of severance when laid off. That is a big difference. If the company needs to eliminate 10% of jobs, the easy and cheap way is to tell people to move without any compensation for the move. People quit, no severance, problem solved. If you are trying to dump 13,000 people and you can save severance on half of them, you save 6500*100K = $650M. Making sense now?
Craft or union jobs aren’t going to Dallas or anywhere for that matter. Those jobs are going to be long gone.
Anyone who thinks craft or union jobs are moving to Dallas or anywhere else is delusional. Have you not noticed that only management is moving there? Stank said himself that he hates old workers. The union is nothing but old workers. They only want a company of management and contract employees that can be let go without notice with no severance or benefits. This is the legacy he’s trying to achieve before he finally walks his old a.s out the door. Don’t kid yourself thinking that you will have a job to relocate too. The writing on the wall is written in bold, red letters.
Nov 30th announcement that all employees report to Dallas on or before March 15th 2025
Just check the career hub for your answer. Just about every job listed for L2 and up office jobs are in Dallas. Very few openings in Atlanta or Alpharetta.
"If these geniuses ever come close to something like that it will be their undoing."
They gave billions to a competitor who used the money to turn their company around & trounce at&t, then they set $10 billion on fire trying to prove they knew more about the media business than anyone.
All these people are still running the company, I think they'll be ok.
Next week. All to Bratislava.
The only officers left in ATL are Legg and Dwyer. 1-2 yrs before ATL employees are asked to move to Dallas is my guess.
The other hubs will still exist as long as there are officers in those hubs. Once they retire, the hubs will move.
Actually never. All remaining hubs will be moved to Bangalore after November elections.
I've heard rumors of a new state-of-the-art, expensive facility in the Atlanta area being plotted, which seems really nice. The problem is they are looking at a place across town, which would require the good ATT citizens of Alpharetta on the NE side of Atlanta, to cross the "perimeter" to get into the office they haven't built yet. Rumors seems to be South of 285. How insane could ATT be, to have Atlanta designations moving to Alpharetta and surrounding towns now just to have them all commute 50-60 minutes south?
The Stink will move all jobs, except his, to India- not Dallas!
Do you want to move to Dallas?
After everyone moves to Dallas they will shut it down and move all operations to Atlanta.
Does anyone think they’ll shut Atlanta down and move all operations to Dallas at some point?
We’re still trying to get you to Dallas but there will be a wave 6. ###detroitbound
There will be nobody left here so who do you want to move to Dallas?
