Why ATT is so successful

Anonymous · 2024-07-11T11:41:26Z

Where some companies will seek prospective employees from the entire country, ATT only hires people from the Dallas metro area, thereby reducing its pool of talent to a smaller area where other top tech companies are competing for the same employees and paying more. We let go of our employees not based on skills, performance, or past achievements, but rather at random and indiscriminately. Our own CEO has said it directly, he wants the more experienced (older) employees out, and the younger employees who are willing to work for a second rate company, a lower wage, with poor facilities and work/life balance. We focus our entire corporation on micromanaging and making sure employees are in the office 3 days a week with teams developed just to monitor where you are at all times. Everyone enjoys being watched and treated like children. Plus look how much more efficient we are now! We’re number 1! I mean, dead last…. We have the best leadership in the entire corporate world. Just kidding, ours was ranked the worst, number 1, worst CEO in history with a history of the greatest failures of mergers in corporate history. They teach classes at universities on how not to be like our leaders. What they’ve done to shareholder value should be criminal. Its a Utility/Monopoly for god sakes, how do you F it up?

We hire based on proximity to Bangalore.

Idk but I cut all ties with T including switching to T-Mobile for phone and home internet so I don’t care how badly the titanic goes down at this point. Laid off in 2023 because I refused to relocate to the armpit of America

“ Why the rush? Whose timeline needs to be met?”
The rush is due to the stupid acquisitions in the past that put us in this debt position. Plus they have promised Wall Street that this debt would be pared down to a 2.5 ratio by the middle of next year. People being upset doesn’t figure into that equation. We are being transformed into a d-mb pipe company with the hope that those d-mb pipes will produce solid revenue. Happy wife, happy life is probably not a goal being discussed in the C-suite.

“I’m in the mood for cheese now. It complements with wine well.”

It’s a board for whining. And yet you are here. Are you the guy crying about phone connectivity the last few days? Call the helpdesk. lol

With the open border, Dallas will become the new AT&T Headquarters of Mexico soon. Thanks to shuffling, wandering Joe and his party.

You are clearly in a different station of life. It's time for you to leave. Probably has been for a long time.

I guess they think they will contractor this thing to death. If 99% of your company doesn’t work for it, is it still a company owned by the motives of its workforce?

I don’t think Att is on the verge of burning down, and would be fine through gradual financial evolution but someone in the palace seems to think drastic measures need to be made in the short term. Reverse engineer the business - it’s as if someone will be fired by a board or intends to retire. Why the rush? Who’s timeline needs to be met?

Also to John and Jeremy - 🖕

Forgot part of number 1. We also only hire and promote people according to our DEI agenda. So not only do we only hire in Dallas, and pay less than our completion, but you have to be a certain kind of person. Can’t be white or male.

What percent of the workforce are we hiring from now?
