“It would be better if you just submit. Why get upset and fight back, it will just be more painful for you.”
Here’s the deal “leadership”:
YOU have your own office.
YOU have catered meals (all 3)
YOU make multiples more in pay
YOU are provided company parking
YOU are provided a vehicle stipend (VP+)
YOU work in clean offices
YOU are the elite we are the peasants.
YOU can’t change the culture.
YOU are the problem.
What happens when the peasants stop “submitting” en masse ??

The peasants buy hoodies and bus tickets to NYC. Vive la révolution.
“If you work at AT&T you RTO. If you don’t want to RTO you work somewhere else. Easy Peasy.”
I’m not listening to a dude that uses the term “easy peasy”
You are everything that is wrong with this company. You squeak when you walk, you squawk when you talk and you gawk when you stalk.
The only way to shift this abusive “employer market” is to let them fail at it.
If you work at AT&T you RTO. If you don’t want to RTO you work somewhere else. Easy Peasy.
Does this sound familiar? “I embrace the Servant-Leader mindset to drive team success.” Do they hear themselves? We’re their servants, and they lead us by administering abuse and disrespect. I’m a professional with 25 years experience and they are creepy kindergarten teachers.
Leadership also has round the clock servants and child care.
We’ll see you at the office in January.
What ever happened to Marie Antoinette?
I’m sure she is in the history books for being an amazing leader.
Wisdom and Action are all that are needed to swing the pendulum in your favor. It’s really rather simple. Together you stand, divided you fall. You were divided, speaking to each other individually on the phone and texting on Teams. A workforce divided cannot enact change. Now that AT&T has handed you the edge on a silver platter take advantage of it. In the office, together, you are a force multiplier. You have the power to disrupt the entire organization from the inside out. Take advantage of your leverage and opportunity to create chaos together. Schedule those collaboration sessions in the conference room and at the white boards for hours on end. Miss those Teams meetings. Let that laptop go idle. Assume the insane flawed logic that AT&T espouses. Be unproductive on their terms. Increase timelines, miss deadlines, collaborate to the letter of the law. Let them choke on their RTO requirements until they beg you to separate and work from home again.
“ Let them eat cake" means that someone in a position of power is completely out of touch with the struggles of the less fortunate, often implying a callous disregard for their needs, as if suggesting they should simply accept their hardship while the privileged live in luxury; it is typically associated with Marie Antoinette, who is said to have uttered this phrase when told that the peasants had no bread.
