Company has spent millions on tracking employees and will not spend any money to fix the terrible applications we have to work with. Some days I amazed that our network just doesn’t collapse on itself.
This sumps up AT&T management's idiocy perfectly. If anyone was uncertain that their priorities aren't productivity and efficiency, this is a clear illustration.
"T can no longer afford full-time employees putting on part-time hours. This is the reason RTO is being enforced."
They will be "part time" in an office or "part time" working from home. It won't matter one bit. People always have and always will waste time away in the office just as much as they would at home.
As an involuntarily retired full-time virtual L2, I'm insulted by the idea I was "part-time". I worked on code that kept systems and reports running. The way it worked was this:
Code worked, I'm golden, I'll do my LWD or other corporate compliance thing, or maybe even take off early.
Code didn't work, stick with another iteration until it did. Most of the time that took up all of eight hours. For deadlines, I put in entire weekends on testing and Q/A. I was salaried, so I got paid for 40 hours but they got more than that on balance.
It's an insult to the workforce and frankly it's why morale is so poor both inside the company and among customers. Friends and family—you know, the typical targets of employee incentives to sign up customers—have had many problems with billing and quality of service. Company brushed them off.
Now that I'm gone, these mostly former customers have told me they're glad they dropped AT&T, and that the same guy who skipped MNF or a Saturday BBQ to work would be laid off, much less be accused of being "part time."
And by "work" I mean "at home" in an office that I equipped with a Herman Miller chair, a standing desk, and an array of monitors. Company "hotel spots" always felt like trying to work from a plastic seat on a city bus. If I was lucky I'd score a second monitor for the day, but usually not.
The only way I'd put in these kinds of hours at their office would be for double the salary.

Correction: T can no longer afford spending money like the id--t demon-crack administration and blames everyone but themselves for the lunacy that has transpired.
Stank the Sk--k and Loser Leggs spend money like drunken sailors handing over cash and supervision to certifiable id--ts.
This place is only great at one thing and that is purchasing assets with lines of credit extended to the parent holding company and selling it off to “investment groups” for pennies on the dollar, of which the turds are undoubtedly 3rd party investors.
Then when the jig is up and they’’re winding down their acquisition schemes, the money siphoning sc-m buckets flush the worker bees down the toilet to dispose of every trace of their scheme. Projects and programs to nowhere just to pay, pay, pay, someone for something that does nothing.
What a total scam. A multi-billion dollar penny stock masquerading as a telecommunications giant. Wipe my a$$ and Good riddance.
Copy and paste because T has this website doing cleanup for them.

this would be true and would make sense if it was targeted
smart 'full-time' employees forced to RTO will also leave once the labor market improves what will T end up with

Werk in da office guy down there again...what a mo--n. Go f yourself sideways you blackrock troll
Ask your supervisor
The craziness is people not knowing what work in the office means, which is the trigger behind the reports. Thats basic English grammar.
It doesn’t matter what we use to get the job done. There was a decision that made not to upgrade systems. The basis for the decision was money and time. Too much money and too much time to get it completed. ATT is not alone here. Every company has to do make the same decisions.
They’re all drinking Brawndo. It has electrolytes, caffeine and five types of sugar.
