I’m sure they have a good reason.
>The company wrote in its proxy statement that its reasoning was to “drive collaboration, innovation, and better position us for long-term success.”
I’m sure they have data to back this up.
>“If they want to be a part of building a great culture and environment, they’ll come along on these adjustments and changes,” Stankey said in May 2023. “Others may decide, given the station of life they are in, that they want to move in a different direction.”
Ah. Welp. Go fuck yourself twice, AT&T.
Looks like AT&T is gearing up for another round of layoffs.
We spent billions on corporate real estate and now nobody wants to come to commute two hours round trip to our campus every day to sit in our ‘open creative space’ T-T How can I micromanage my micromanagers if people are in the privacy of their homes?
Overlords get antsy when they don’t see the serfs
Any company that doesn’t use AI and replace their workers with AI will go out of business by another company who does use AI so GG
A letter from the company
We are empowering our workers by letting them go to find better more fulfilling opportunities for their work life balance.
Most companies will do this. Amazon was just the first by end of 2025 I think most WFH will be gone.
I’m in an office of 1, me, myself. I gotta drive 2 hours just to go pick up my work truck then drive another 2 hours to my work turf go do 8 hours of work in 4 hours then drive 2 hours back to my building where no one goes to (no OT) then drive 2 hours back home
Ok, back to the office, coast, and malicious compliance.
Why can business totally re work their contracts with people on a whim? Shouldn’t there be some financial bonus for people to go back to the office? We should all get together and come up with a price for back to office transitions and if they don’t want to add a pay increase for that everyone should just quit.
Layoffs ftw. Don’t know why they play these games, literally everyone knows what it is.
This will be the norm to be honest. Most companies will slowly adopt this for employees close to the office.
Well you’re lucky if you get to wfh currently. I work at a school district that is completely wfh illiterate. I just drive to a computer for reasons “because I said so “ I even work by myself in my office and do work for people not in my building lol. It’s really about managerial control not productivity
A return to work mandate is an invisible pay cut.
Cool, also I’ll be dumping AT&T.
I am a remote worker, by contract. If these people don’t have a contract that says they’re employed as remote workers then that’s on them.
There’s going to be more of this, the class of people in the US who want to control workers believes that they will have the total support of government to strong arm their workers for at least the next four years.
The pandemic is over. If they want you back to work, you gotta get back to the office.
This is not just a way of doing layoffs without exit packages. It is also a means of getting rid of middle-aged and older people that haven’t advanced to leadership positions. Those people have life responsibilities (child care etc) and won’t go for this. The people that are in leadership positions are going to follow the policy anyway.
AT&t has the most toxic CEO. The number of times he’s disparaged employees is sickening. “Too many mouths to feed” or “our customer demographic doesn’t match of worker demographic” (ageism) or “if you’re not willing to move, you’re in a different station of life”.
Good friend works there and it’s the most toxic it’s ever been under this CEO. They don’t even have assigned desk space for 5 days RTO or adequate parking spaces. They are setting up TABLES for 3-4 people to sit, in lieu of desks, despite almost all interactions being on Teams calls.
Make it make sense.
Getting employees to quit looks better than laying them off come bonus season.
It’s Quiet FIRING season. The CEO needs another gold toilet and the stock price ain’t gonna go up on its own!
Told my manager that I agree to return 5 days a week and I am committed to work just as diligently as I did for the past 3 years from home. Cant wait to see his face when he sees my open office empty and a mouse-jiggler attached to my laptop hard at work!
This is just AT&T trying to get people to quit before they do layoffs.
Used to work at AT&T Labs in NJ.
Half the workforce in my 4,000-person complex was working virtually… 15 years ago. This initiative won’t go over well. The remaining truly-gifted employees will walk, one way or another.
More offshoring, and more H1-Bs ahoy.
Great thinking, AT&T misleaders.
