Managing company assets, people setting and reaching realistic goals.
We are dedicated to our very best every day. We support each other and pick up the slack when needed. I could not be any prouder of my team, they are the best!
When I was hired everyone was excited, hopeful and nice. However, that was before the merger with Time Warner, long before anyone considered merging with AOL and of course the inevitable falling stock price.
Managers need to understand that a team can only function effectively when leadership reinforces the positive and keeps the team energized. They should be a buffer and shield the team from the executive micromanaging. If your bosses dump on you, you shouldn't treat your subordinates to the same.
You never know what you are walking into, the corporate overlords at AT&T decide your department in inefficient or redundant and it needs to be excised. The company's stock price is tanking or the company is reimagining its employee benefits. All signs it's probably time to abandon ship.
We are underpaid and overworked. The company's cost-cutting has us doing the work of three people. Morale within the company is in decline. People are afraid of losing their jobs if they speak out or complain about working conditions. The company has an army of in-house temps ready to fill-in.
