All of us? We will not get better working conditions. Just less personal time and more expenses. When being herded like a cattle into barn-like conditions doesn’t work out and we don’t meet the desired attrition rate, what will be next? I’m morbidly curious about what they will come up with to make us go away.

anything less than the competition, T is all about copying other companies and what Blackrocks orders, zero innovation or leadership
About 90%. Keep a small handful to project manage the contractors and process their paperwork.
30k more out the door
110%. F anybody who wants to get hired in the future.
JTS wants to get to sub 50k employees. Do the math.
How do we compare to VZ when they are about to absorb the Frontier employees, adding thousands of new employees. What that tells me is having a larger fiber footprint requires more
employees. Am I wrong?
“ More or less, Stank wants us to align to Verizon and Tmo. Hyper focused on revenue to headcount numbers.”
VZW seems more realistic considering our fiber footprint.
If he loses 25% from 5 day RTO he should easily get to a headcount on par with VZW when it’s lumped with normal layoffs and attrition.
Drastic cuts are planned as employees start to be held accountable for working 40-hour weeks.

Has anyone discussed the possibility of Stinkey and the Board cutting down to a skeleton crew, so that T can be acquired by another player? Maybe an overseas telco?
I’m glad that we all understand now what is really happening here. It never was about culture, collaboration, etc., and it was always about reducing employee count. As painful as this seems, I like knowing the truth. There is power in truth.
“ Couple that with Trump about to crack down on offshoring”
Oddly enough I overheard AVP’s talking to a VP about this and there is a lot of talk about that in the c suite it seems. 2025 is going to be extremely interesting at this company.
Lots of studies, but 5x RTO rules along with the 8 hr mandatory mandate with no flexibility (yeah senior VPs said flex, but your direct reports AVPs and Directors are saying otherwise) will likey result in ~ 25% +/- attrition rate. Majority of that will be the younger hires and the other most skilled talent that can find something else. So, not the people you want to be losing. Net net, this will be another Stinky mess as things start coming off the rails. But to the OPs point, they don’t care, they think you don’t add any real value, and that they can easily replace you. All the job postings in career hub in Dallas says otherwise as they struggle to find talent. This will just make it way worse. Couple that with Trump about to crack down on offshoring and in-shoring and they are going to have some serious problems.
