Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Constant Layoffs - Was Told To Keep My Resume Updated After Being Recently Hired

Started in this company recently. Right after I started I was told to keep my resume updated as there are constant layoffs that are ongoing.

They have forced everyone's job to a hub and if your job moves to a hub and you dont move to where the hub is than you dont have a job. Isnt that nice.

Than I found out about RTO 5 days a week after being told there was only 3 days in the office.

Right where I sit they laid off about a dozen people. They told me they couldnt give me a place to sit until they were gone. Apparently the building has 3K people allocated to it but only has space for about 1000. So where is everyone going to sit now that they are making everyone come in.

This company is a disaster.

You are a leased employee. Only for the time we need you.

So, like a contractor? Wonder why don't they just do contractors instead? Actually, I know they have contractors, so let me rephrase it. Wonder why don't they just hire more contractors instead?

When I started in 1984 I was told the same thing. True enough, constant layoffs over almost 40 years. You need an internal and external resume at all times.

And here’s an example of the new talent they are bringing in. Already with foot out the door since they got lied to already. To the OP, get out before you get stuck. Lots of stuck people here. There will be plenty of seats by mid year 2025 as folks leave, get laid off and retire. Company is going to lose massive amounts of people in the coming months due to RTO and the 5x mandate, but that’s what they want.

You definitely need to be looking elsewhere and when you find something else tell them you left due to RTO, fears about layoffs, culture, and poor morale.

Good luck. Hope you find something better.

Welcome!

  1. We should ALL keep our resumes updated.
  2. AT&T stands for “At This Time”.
  3. T is continuing to not make revenue
  4. T will continue to lay people off due to T not making revenue AND leadership bad financial business decisions
  5. You will see more people leave in 2025 and going forward vs. remain
  6. Buckle Up Buttercup you’re in for one heck of ride! (As you can clearly see).

First of all, they are going to cut the work space by 2/3rds so that they can fit 3 people in the space they used to give to just 1 person. However, do not get to anxious since they cannot increase the number of parking spaces. You will probably save money on mass transit since there will be no place to park your car!

Premise of the story is a lie, but there are many facts included.

If you just got hired, your resume should already be updated. I doubt you are going to have anything of value to add in your short time here. Fake post.

If your not ina hub I find it hard to believe there’s 3000 people in your building.

Take that dusted off resume and send it out. Leave while you can because you aren't eligible for severance being so new.

Get out if you can get a job elsewhere.

The Stink is a bastid.

AT&T today is not the same AT&T back in the day. Its a totally different company. There is nothing fake about what is happening in that Godforesaken company which has been surpassed by Verizon and T-Mobile. Its a zombie company run by fu-kheads and dou--e bags.

You did no background research before starting work at a major corporation? That’s on you.

Ah, but our fearless i d i o t - the Stink is pleased that he has fresh meat to make miserable!

Next time, research the company before you apply and you won't be working at a S H I T hole like Toxic-T!

Stink is S H I T
