Three Years of Cuts? How is That Even Possible?

Just read somewhere about AT&T planning for *three years* of cost cutting and layoffs. Three years! That's insane. How much more can they possibly cut before they cripple the actual operations? It feels like they've been doing this forever already. We're already lean, working harder than ever, and now they're talking about a multi-year plan? This sounds less like targeted adjustments and more like a slow, deliberate dismantling. What does this even mean for long-term projects or career growth here? Feels like we're just being managed down to nothing. I'm starting to seriously question my future with the company. Anyone else feel this way? How are you all coping with this news?

Honestly, 'three years' sounds like a death knell. If leadership is already planning for such an extended period of cuts, it suggests a fundamental problem with the business model or a complete lack of vision for the future. We're already stretched so thin, any further 'optimization' is just going to break things. I worry about the quality of service and the ability to innovate when everyone is just trying to survive the next round of cuts.

Three years of cost cutting? That's an eternity in this industry. It sounds like they're bracing for a prolonged downturn, which is concerning. Maybe it's a signal that the market isn't expected to grow significantly, or that they're planning a major pivot. Whatever it is, it doesn't bode well for morale or for any ambitious new initiatives. It feels like they're just managing decline at this point.
