AT&T

I worked with a lot of wonderfully talented people.

• Incompetent, vindictive management. The management is really bad. Much more focus is put on pleasing whatever your supervisor's tics are than accomplishing anything.
• They don't value skills. I am an extremely skilled programmer, and my supervisor only wanted data entry.
• Long hours, low pay. They expect you to be available 24/7, but they don't pay as much as almost anywhere else.
• Very hostile and toxic environment.
• People yell and scream and insult others all the time.
• Poor work/life balance. They want you working 60-70 hour weeks and get very angry if you can only work 8 hours one day.

Don't lay off the employees; lay off the idiotic supervisors who don't know anything.
