"Yes, ACS got hit a lot; sorry to see the included ATT Lab people in San Ramon"
Are there any Lab people left?
Seems there is even less hope now for AT&T to recover from the mess JS created.
Just moving this back to the front page.
“Leadership” in this company are all a bunch of unfeeling hypocrites. Live wherever the eff they want and make the minions move across country at their own expense in a sht economy or lose their job in a sht job market.
Will all RAN optimization teams be under Ericsson in the reorganization?
A friend of mine complied with 3 days per week. Got in a car accident severing his legs. They laid him off today and he didn’t even know. He was still under sedation from his 6th surgery
If he was commuting to an office he did not need to be in, he needs to sue the company. Should be an easy 7-8 figure verdict and we desperately need the precedent on the books.
“Should have just lied about moving and ran the extra time while finding a job that will pay you to move if you want to move. That’s what a lot of us did, then just quit.
Fu-k Stankey and T.”
Lie about moving? Why? Deplete your sick days, vacation days, caregiver days and don’t do anything until your last day. Then take the severance and unemployment.
This is the uncaring, ruthless behavior they taught us.
"Unsure how most projects can continue."
Top performer!
ACS = AT&T Connected Solutions used to be IoT. Under VP COURSEY, CAMERON who oddly was exempt from having to move. Who would have guessed... All this collaboration talk he says why he will remain remote.
I am praying every day to receive my layoff notice, but unfortunately, craft isn't part of the head count reductions at this time at least where I work.
ACS?
“a lot of us at ATT Lab San Ramon are slated for Bothell, it's a good thing we didn't agree to move as they already started to surplus the good people at Bothell....very disappointed at ATT”
Haven’t a lot of us on here and elsewhere (Blind) warned all of you to not move because they’re likely to lay you all off anyways?

Fu-k Stankey and T.

Prayers to everyone in ACS and labs who got hit. Lots of really good people. You will land in a much better place.
“I am on the west coast, in Bothell and got surplused today. Got the sad news today. Always complied to 3 days RTO etc . I thought i added value, .... not sure how company perceives it.”
RTO just like Relocation is them hoping that you leave the company, not a system for reward much less efficiency or innovation
ACS was gutted. Unsure how most projects can continue.
Sambar’s RAN area got impacted in San Ramon
Yes, ACS got hit a lot; sorry to see the included ATT Lab people in San Ramon
“A friend of mine complied with 3 days per week. Got in a car accident severing his legs. They laid him off today and he didn’t even know. He was still under sedation from his 6th surgery”
Exactly, they literally don’t care.
I don’t know why anyone complies with this bs.

“At least make you work the strike first. Then lay off.”
Does the phrase “pound sand” seem appropriate? Gonna lay me off then send me to climb poles after watching a video? Nope
Only good layoff is a union slug layoff.
Nope. No layoffs on the union side of the company.
ACS hit hard. Great people getting laid off and illogical reorg.
I know, in the midst of this insanity, you won't believe this, but they did you a favor.
God bless you, I pray for better times for you and yours.
ACS VP is in St Louis. How in the he-l is that allowed?? Hypocrisy!
“This is why I never complied with RTO, 3 days MAYBE but coffee badge, mostly 2 days a week sometimes less.
Got an extension. It’s all a joke, don’t comply tell them to fu-k off. They’re going to fire you anyways.”
I feel like the guy from office space who tells management to their face I don’t give a fu-k and gets a promotion.

Connected solutions announcement was a joke. People who moved last year now being told to move again. All the while those in charge live outside of stated hubs. Lawyers need to be called.
At least make you work the strike first. Then lay off.
Yep connected solutions had the call must be in Atlanta or Dallas or move. Waiting on email for dates
I am on the west coast, in Bothell and got surplused today. Got the sad news today. Always complied to 3 days RTO etc . I thought i added value, .... not sure how company perceives it.
The process is to have a call first. Then during the call or at end of call release the letter. Everyone has until 12pm Dallas time to notify their employees. Both surplus and RTO wave 2 are part of today's notifications.
Layofff from what dept? This is directed toward the original poster of this thread
Do they just send you an email first or call you to notify then send an email? Not sure what their processes are today.
Global being hit today. I heard they are also hitting 3rd and 4th level managers, but I don't have any confirmation on that. All to get them off payroll by December.
Yup, starting back up again with layoffs and RTO notices.
I’m sorry to hear that but sounds like you’ll do just fine which is good! What org though?
