Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

I can confirm this. I work in Bratislava and was told I'd have to fly into the states at least twice a week to meet with customers and developers.

Thats going to work out well in customer facing departments. I guess you can fly them all in every single day. LOL

"Even Amazon is going to lose quality people."
The only difference is that Amazon has lines of candidates wanting an opportunity to get their foot in the door. Not for T.

“Don’t know if this comment is being facetious but it is amazing how many people actually believe that is how the job market is operating right now. Know a couple of people who thought the market is still at the point it was a couple of years ago. They have been looking for real jobs the past 6 months.”

These things are cyclical, talented people will stay just long enough for the market to improve enough for them to find something else.
If that’s the kind of work environment and culture you want, then good luck.

Where did this come from, OP?

Ha. If you are really talented, you wouldn't have to try to convince people you are talented.

Funny howan elderly CEO thinks he can attract new young technical talent by having them RTO. Not how it works. Even Amazon is going to lose quality people.

“just give me a severance package and we'll part ways. I promise, we'll still be friends..@
You are being targeted for next year after the policy for maximum servance amounts changes.

Total made up cr-p

If I have to move and go in 3-5 days a week I might as well just su-k it up and get paid $500k a year at Amazon or something.

The move to third-party software makes sense, especially if you are looking to turn over your workforce. Using bespoke, exclusive to AT&T applications presents a learning curve for new hires. Moving to teams, infor, workday, compass, and all the common ones makes it easier for outside management to step in and count beans.

I love how one of the big selling points for RTO was how many “SUPER EDUCATED MOTIVATED YOUNG TECHNICAL TALENT SUPER HEROS!” We could recruit and how Stankey wanted to cut all the olds…

Little did Stankey know…as someone who is young and in tech myself, knew - most young TECHNICAL people basically expect work from home now and view being in the office as inefficient and a distraction…

So now, he’s having brain drain from seniors, leads, principals, distinguished older folk who are quitting or getting laid off, and not able to backfill with juniors out of university.

Why would a talented young technical person want to work at T? Last choice? Location (used to be location, cause we had tons of locations and that young person didn’t have to move) but why now?

Now T will want a young person to relocate AND go in 3-5 days AND will pay less than tech.
So why would they work here?

Fu-k Stankey, he’s a dum--ss

lol. I remember when Legg was going to dump 3 contractors for every 1 employee hire. Talk about your all time "leadership" backfire

just give me a severance package and we'll part ways. I promise, we'll still be friends..

“Can’t attract young talent due to no WFH”
YOU DON’T SAY?!
