Loser managers still crying about having to work from an office.
Will one of you union slugs please list a major corporation in the US that DOES NOT pay their C-suite people much, much more than the workers. i don't like it either, but it is a fact of life. You act like T is the only one.
Again, we don't need consumers and customers. We make profit by reducing headcount. Look at the progress we have made so far. Lowered headcount is like money in the bank.
Anyway, I'm flush and could care less about my legacy here and your opinion of me . I've created generational wealth while you throw proverbial tantrums on online layoff sites.
To your world delivered,
Stankey
Only person I know that has been taking $$ out of my pocket is Stankey. Former Bellsouth, one example; we used to get a 2 week paid bonus very year. Since SBC took over, we are lucky to get any bonus , if we do it’s a very small amount because it’s tied to the stock price. Meanwhile, the execs are raking in larger bonuses every year, it is a wealth transfer at a public company and the CEO’s compensation keeps rising. The latest was a 3 million adjustment last year because 23 million a year wasn’t enough for Stankey. He now has a compensation package of $26,000,000 that is higher than CEO’s at TMob and Verizon and still no accountability. His partner in crime, Stephenson is still on the company dole at 1,000,000 @ year as a “consultant”.
How does that make you feel as a manager? Management has given up, PTO days, retiree healthcare, less severance, quicker of payroll date when layoff, higher healthcare premiums, deductibles, out of pocket, No MR75 then, sold management retiree pensions to an insurance company, Athene, etc.. Don’t you feel the ❤️.

If that was the case, you would not need a union and the market would give you the wages and benefits you won’t. If you are indeed, this valuable, then what the union is doing is taking money out of your pocket and distributing it to less valuable employees
“ Head in the sand much? CWA is a business. You are being bargained for by people that are not professionally trained to bargain. They are no different than dads that coach baseball on the weekends. And you are paying for it…”
Aww, so cute. Union negotiators know the contract, job descriptions, have a comprehension of the articles, language and MOA’s. Everything gets checked with “professionals” at the district or international level. Unfortunately the company can’t say the same, two contracts in a row they have sent incompetent negotiators that don't have the authority to sign off or comprehension of the contract and all it entails. It’s absurd, that they keep using inexperienced negotiators that can’t even answer basic questions. Phht! Bad faith!
even before they started bargaining we had better benefits
Please refrain from posting things like this. This gives the company ammunition for why we shouldn't get more now, if we are bragging that we have better benefits than managers. Doesn't support the narrative we need in order to get what we feel is a fair agreement.
Sorry you little puzzie, I am proud to stand up and tell the world how much better off union employees are and sick and tired of these managementtard cubicle rats trashing us when they literally don’t have half of the benefits we have BECAUSE of our bargaining team and the years of being in the trenches to have gotten us what we have today and I am very confident that these ongoing negotiations will be no different than the last 75 plus years.
So stick in your ear and you Refrain from being a little puzziie you spineless little punk.
What about those 5 poor schmucks at the very bottom, apparently slaving for the union for free? :D

AT&T management is the best!!!!
“ I want to get paid like an executive even though I am not an executive”
I want to be accountable like an executive, no consequences.
Someone just posted that around 1000 people in the Legg org were let go, bet they wished they had a contract with work rules, lay-off process with options, job bank and more than 2 weeks to stay on payroll. Wish them the best but this is why unions are viable for people below upper management, ask the c-suite with their negotiated golden parachutes. Only middle and lower management are left twisting in the wind with layoffs, reduced benefits and ever changing policies. They are at will employees that serve at the great Stankey’s whims. How’s relocation and RTO going for you?
I want to get paid like an executive even though I am not an executive.
Duh! All these stoopid union people have to do is look past the surface to understand what the CWA (or any union is for that matter) really is. It’s a self serving greed machine like any other large business.
Claude Cummings and the rest of the CWA leadership don’t care about pawn union members. Same for a lot of the local presidents and officers. All they care about is being paid, especially if the local is big enough that they are paid 100% by the CWA and don’t even perform the duties of the AT&T job they occupy.
For a short time those who are working CP assignments will once again or for the first time, have some appreciation for the job that bargained does week in and out. It’s a tough and dangerous job for outside techs, working in all kinds of environments. It also takes years of training and experience for a lot of the inside positions too before becoming competent.
Not seeing the AT&T social media manager talking about “Union slugs” and encouraging strike, must of been muzzled.
The company is calling up a bunch more untrained managers to work this coming week. They overplayed their hand and only continue to dig deeper. Someone is going to get seriously injured or worse, of that there is no doubt. Bargained doesn’t want that to happen but it’s incumbent on the company to start bargaining in good faith. Stankey will go down in infamy if, any fatalities occur. There have already been injuries and some near fatal accidents. Bargain in good faith for a fair agreement and let the professionals get back to work!
Things must be getting tough when Att management comments about CWA on this site. Ha Ha.
Most of the people on that list are no longer a part of CWA. The compensation is not obscene. What should get people fired up is that CWA is using our strike-fund to maintain operations, instead of cutting people.
T-Mobile!! Take our money!!!
But I get 30% when the dust settles, wink-wink .
We are the best! Stop holding our best days back! Your world delivered -cash on delivery, please.
Don’t look at how much the T-Mobile, Spectrum, & Wow CEOs make.
Darn! That should be Stankey s moolah!!
$27,000,000 per year / 70,000 union employees= $385 per year evenly distributed amongst union employees(unless you want to give Wire Techs less).
So, I’d take it if you gave it to me, but Is $385 per employee going to solve our issues?
You are not going to create division in Union, everyone knows what happens if we don’t have good faith bargaining. Unfair labor charges have been filed, the company has already replaced a team lead (attorney) who didn’t know the contract or understand the work. Let’s see if they can do better with the bargaining, one can only hope that they use competent negotiators that understand and have the authorization to sign off on proposals.
