It finally happened—the 5/28 wave is here

Woke up to my internal access being revoked this morning. No warning, no 'meeting with HR' invite, just a dead login. I’ve been with the company for eight years, and frankly, I’m not even surprised anymore. The rumors about the May 28th cuts were floating around for weeks, but leadership kept insisting it was just 'market adjustments.' My manager was completely in the dark, too. I checked the portal and my status is now officially 'inactive.' Honestly, I’m just numb at this point. I knew the writing was on the wall after the last earnings call, but it still sucks to be part of the statistic. Good luck to everyone else still in the trenches; if you’re reading this and you still have a desk, update your resume today. Don't wait for the email.

I am so sorry you had to find out this way. Being locked out of your own account after eight years of service is incredibly disrespectful, even by corporate standards. It’s a sad reality that loyalty rarely means anything to AT&T leadership these days. Take some time for yourself today, process the frustration, and try not to let their poor communication reflect on your own worth. You’ll find something better where your experience is actually valued.

Same boat here. It’s insulting how they handle these layoffs, treating people like data points instead of human beings who built their systems. The complete lack of transparency from management is exactly what we’ve come to expect, but that doesn’t make the sting any less sharp. Don’t look back at this place. Dust off the resume when you're ready, reach out to your network, and move on to a company that at least has the decency to treat employees with basic professional respect.
