You have the full support of lower-level AT&T management. As with many of my peer management colleagues, I hope you get what you deserve. Stinky, coupled with corporate America's avarice, will try to take as much as they can. Stick to what you deserve. AT&T will seize your perks, raises, and, most importantly, your severance. All to move American jobs offshore or replace them with inferior I-129 immigrants.

Stankey Culture Change: Making management want to join a union!
Management can’t stick to the man, so why wouldn’t they be behind the union!? A win for one is a win for all!
AT&T has become a ph----g disgrace and they don't even care! T couldn't care less about any of its employees from level 3 on down! Ever since SBC came in and took the reigns with T, it has gone into a tail spin everything from the culture to the bottom line! SBC management really knows how to ph-k up a company!
As a manager myself, I wholeheartedly concur. This is the #NewATTCulture they’ve created. They have attained a workforce ego that simply doesn't care, exactly like them, therefore there's no need for survey results.
Isn’t it rich that CEO Stankey who just received a 13.04% - $3,000,000 raise but expects labor to accept a small wage increase, healthcare with super high deductibles and premiums. Share the wealth fairly John, Union is only asking for the company to bargain in good faith for a fair contract. There is a ULP strike because they can’t even get past unqualified company negotiators. Blood will be on his hands if a manager or contractor is seriously injured or ki-led. Managers are being forced into CP assignments, it’s a fact most are inexperienced and poorly trained. Nobody wants to see that!
OP Don't say you speak for all of us because you don't.
“Any manager that agrees with the strike force and that a work stoppage is the right action needs to find a new job and have their head examined. Anyone that thinks that this punishes JS is delusional. This is will end up costing millions in lost revenue. Millions in unnecessary expense, and ultimately dozens if not hundreds of jobs. The remaining senior level techs and the remains good ole boy managers will still be working an exorbitant amount of hours picking up the pieces.”
So what you’re saying is, Stankey and co can fu-k up over and over and face no consequences?
Yeah, exactly, that’s the problem.
So don’t push back just bend over and take it, yes sir, may I please have another. Beat downs, layoffs, relocation, RTO and elimination of benefits will continue until morale improves. Will eventually get down to incompetent butt kissing parasites.

“L2s really don't give a sh-t. We're stuck in the middle. Truth be told, we probably don't like either one of you on any given day.”
Yeah, but I don’t like ANYONE on any given day, but I like this because it makes Stankey mad.
Let me be nice and support the strike people, man.
L2s really don't give a sh-t. We're stuck in the middle. Truth be told, we probably don't like either one of you on any given day.
No lie detected.

“L2's and below support the strike, because it prolongs managers from being laid off by increasing their value. It is long assumed that the majority of L3's don't have a technical bone in their body any longer, including principals”
Principals (at least in our org) are still L2, like most people at T - you get some really good ones who actually get things done and are technical and you get some who are clueless.
But yes, unfortunately as you move up the ranks you run into id--ts who have less and less technical knowledge and find more and more MBA type folk who are running technical teams & orgs
With all the stress of being laid off for L1 and L2 I can see them being briefly happy about all this. Unfortunately these things don’t take too long and then back to the stack ranking and weird constant pressure that VP’s trickle down. It’s unnecessary and in my opinion is coming from the very top.

Most of us were techs recently.
“This has to be satire, no one is this ignorant.”
I’m L2, also support the strike.
Fu-k Stankey.
