Seriously, what is going on with leadership? Every decision they make seems designed to make things worse. Cutting budgets, shifting priorities every other week, and now this constant threat of layoffs hanging over our heads. It's impossible to get anything done when everyone is constantly worried about losing their jobs. I'm in the IT department and we're already stretched thin. They keep piling on more work with fewer resources. I'm so burnt out, and frankly, I'm starting to lose hope that things will ever get better. I used to be proud to work for AT&T, but now it's just a source of constant stress and anxiety. I'm actively looking for a way out, and I know I'm not the only one. They are losing good people because of this constant mismanagement.

I feel you. I was in the field service side and saw the same thing happening years ago. Constant pressure to cut corners on installs and repairs, which just led to more problems down the line. The short-term thinking is what kills you. I eventually left, found a smaller company where I felt more valued, and haven't looked back. Maybe it's time to polish up that resume and see what else is out there. Your mental health is worth more than a paycheck.

Honestly, I've heard similar complaints from friends who work at other large corporations. Is AT&T uniquely bad, or is this just the reality of late-stage capitalism? Layoffs and budget cuts are never fun, but it's easy to paint leadership as incompetent when you're feeling the squeeze. Maybe some of these decisions are necessary evils in a competitive market. Or maybe they are clueless. It's hard to tell from the outside.
