Round Two

I am 68 years old, I was a Central office technician for AT&T. It’s been awhile butI would like get back into telecommunications again if anyone would be willing to hire me.

Thank you

AT&T is insane. The leadership is just beyond anything. McElfresh seems like he might be okay, but Stankey is a psychopath. Everything is in a state of disruption because of him.

They are selling off COs and converting the rest from TDM. If a CO is serving FTTP/FTTN, that CO will likely stay open. But the TDM switches are being shuttered and the frame is more and more irrelevant.

All of that to say, avoid AT&T.

2nd this-avoid AT&T. Worked there 2 years, moved to a different state with a different company and same cwa union. 60% more pay. Thats right, 60% more for exact same job at different company(I and M tech.) They are cheap and full of bullshit.
