With all the changes happening in the telecom industry it is sometimes difficult for some AT&T employees to feel comfortable about their future. It seems AT&T employees should be ready for major changes pretty routinely. This includes changes where AT&T operations for employees take place. There are some in the industry that believe AT&T may someday move to a model that limits employee operations to only 10 major urban areas. If that were to happen and you didn’t live in one of those areas, you would have some challenging decisions to make. Do you know the questions that would be coming your way, and more importantly, do you know how you would answer them? Questions like:

  • How will you cover medical insurance and expenses in retirement or a transition? The cost of medical insurance has increased sharply in recent years, and you may experience some sticker shock!
  • What will your actual income be after all considerations from a SIPP or Surplus offer?
  • What will your total income be in retirement or a career transition? Are you considering all sources?
  • Have you considered all expenses during retirement or a career transition?
  • How far away from Medicare are you and how will you cover the gap?
  • How does Social Security factor in and do you have a plan for maximizing this benefit?
  • How will this impact your spouse?
  • Retirement can last as long as 30 years for many people; do you have enough savings or income sources to cover that time?
