AT&T's CTO said in a memo the five-day-a-week office return would be staggered as more space is constructed.

    Is this not constructive dismissal? “You must be in the office, and also there’s nowhere in the office for you to work.”

      Sounds like they don’t want me to work that day if they don’t have a spot for me.

      Better yet, I have a spot to work. My home.

        “I tried to book a seat but they were all taken.”

        Repeat adnausem even if more space is made available.

    By coming together in person, we can strengthen our connections, foster a vibrant culture, and achieve our shared goals.

    strengthen our connections

    That’s a cruel irony coming from a telecom that refuses to sell connections to millions of Americans who already have an AT&T cable connected to their house.

    vibrant culture

    If by “vibrant” they mean “lumbering dinosaur that is the textbook definition of ‘engineered incompetence’” then ok because good corporate culture is definitely not what AT&T is known for.

    If it were me I’d set up a makeshift work station in obnoxious locations. Make it really obvious I wasn’t given a proper place to work and make it seen by all the higher ups and visitors. Do it every day. Change locations so it’s always new spots. Always in locations where people bottle neck so they can’t avoid you.

    If I have to take it to the next level then I start working on the floor. Get my charging cable out so it stretches across the floor. Set out a bunch of papers all across the floor to make it look like I’m working on something big. Make people have to walk around your papers to avoid interrupting your work.

    No doubt people start taking and asking questions. Then you start throwing around how much work you have to do but have no proper place to do it so you’re doing everything in your power to get by and get the job done. Then be sure to loudly excuse yourself from the conversation and make sure they know you have a big dead line and don’t have time for chit chat.
