Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Coffee badgers are getting notified.

I’m an Associate Director and had to notify one of my direct reports about not being in the office for averaging 4+ hours in the office. They were meeting the 3 days a week but not the 4+ hours.

HR is sending reports to VP’s and it’s trickling down to us to warn them. So be aware they are tracking your hours in the office now.

If you are or associate with Jon Sumners, or Ward Chewning, or Rinat Zilberstein, or Legg, or Kafka: 🖕🏽

Then why don’t you stand up and do something about it? You are the liaison between workers and leadership and nobody wants to call this BS. It’s crazy.

Has anyone spoke up about this discontent among L3, L4, L5?
Are they even aware?

Clearly you haven't payed attention in town halls how multiple CEO's have referenced this site, if a CEO is here you don't think an associate director would?

Best things I saw on here in a while

Just an average dude, having an average life, working from 9 to 5.
Heck, I pay the price. Just leave us alone, at home. RTO feels like the Twight Zone.
I always feel like somebody's watching me.

They should be spending their time finding who got the company 150 billion in debt and fire them. Stankey is a freaking embarrassment.

They don’t have to prove it your right. They can just suspect it and stack rank you at the bottom for selective layoff.

“Coffee badgers should be immediately placed on a PIP.”

This isn’t Amazon you bozo, we don’t pay enough to PIP anyone.
I’ve never heard of anyone getting put on a PIP here.

Interesting info on exempt status. I predict we are going to see some salary adjustments or status changes soon.

At issue is the department’s April 23 Final Rule, which increased the salary threshold for employees to qualify as exempt from overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). In order to qualify for most “white-collar” exemptions under the FLSA, employees must satisfy a two part test: (1) the employee’s job duties must qualify for a specific exemption, and (2) the employee’s salary must meet a minimum threshold.

If either of the two parts of the test are not met, the employee is not exempt and must be paid overtime for hours over 40 per week. On April 23, 2024, the DOL issued a Final Rule which raises the salary threshold for so-called “white collar” exempt workers from $684/week to $844/week as of July 1, 2024, and again to $1,128/week on January 1, 2025. The rule also changed the salary threshold for “highly compensated” exempt employees from $107,432/year to $132,964/year on July 1, 2025, and to $151,164/year on January 1, 2025.

If you’re tracking my hours, that now makes me a non-exempt employee. Time to pay me for all that overtime.

Except that they're within their rights to track it. Besides, we aren't talking about an hour here or there. We're talking people who regularly work less than a full day by rationalizing that their commute is part of their work day or think a lunch hour is a paid part of the work day. An employer can certainly ask employees to prove they're working at least 40 hours according to the policies set forth when by all appearances, they are not.

OP, was the person you had to notify suspected of having this type of behavior in the first place and the reporting was pulled to support the suspicions? Or was this purely identified through reporting?

Sounds like the personnel that blame Boomers for this matter have Mommy and Daddy issues. You people really need to make an appointment with a therapist in the EAP! I'm sure they can get to the root cause of your venomous animosity!

How far back did they look on this report? Was it an average of months of data or last week’s report?
