Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@f8 Good Lord, what a crock. ChatGPT word salad.

@f8
And yet DEI is dead and the company lives on, just as it did before DEI.

@b2 . How much can we save if T ru-p stops golfing?

@f4 DEI fosters trust and belonging by ensuring fairness and respect, which deepens engagement and collaboration. Culture is not static,it must evolve to remain relevant,and DEI ensures that growth. Far from fragmenting culture, diversity expands it, accelerates innovation, and builds a foundation of trust that makes organizations stronger and more adaptable.

@b2

LOL, some DEI hire was in charge of that study.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives have not enhanced organizational culture; instead, they have eroded it. Far from accelerating innovation, diversity often introduces friction, slows decision-making, and dilutes cohesion. Innovation thrives on shared vision and unified culture, yet DEI emphasizes difference over commonality. By prioritizing diversity, organizations inadvertently undermine the very cultural fabric that fosters trust, speed, and creativity. In this sense, diversity and culture are not complementary forces but opposing ones, the pursuit of diversity fragments culture, while strong culture depends on unity and alignment.

@ae
Just so YOU know "market based" approach is the antithesis of DEI.

Last I checked no one in leadership has changed. So don’t think the two are connected.

@b3 Holy sh--e. MSN is owned by Microsoft. MSNOW (MSNBC) is owned by Comcast and will be spun off along with their other cable networks. Microsoft has not had any involvement with MSNBC since 2005. They are not the same people or anything else. They just have the same three letters in their names.

Really hope you are a troll because of
you are this ignorant with your job no wonder AT&T is in such sad shape. Just proves even more that the entire anti-DEI/woke cr@p is 95% affirmative action for mediocre white guys.

@an That is like saying Google and Youtube are not the same thing. They most certainly are parts of the same corporate whole and ultimately controlled by the exact same people. By all means, believe whatever you want though.

Sure, 1.44 billion looks impressive on paper. But a study shows DEI programs can boost revenue by 35%. That would put the figure just over 1.96 billion. By that measure, current revenue is actually trailing by nearly half a billion, a hidden loss disguised as success.

@af ah another one. MSN and MSNBC (which isn’t the name anymore) are not the same thing genius. I also have a luxury oceanfront condo in the heart of Chad that I could give you a great deal on, only $2 million. You should jump on it before everyone else does.

The most interesting part is that the far-left MSN is carrying this story that is dripping with anti-DEI bias (Wherever you stand on the issue, there is no actual provable correlation here, it is pure speculation). Something is changing in the political landscape.

If you actually read this “article” you’d see that fee and rate increases that were the real driver of the revenue growth. Removing DEI had essentially zero to do with it, but whoever posted that piece knows that low IQ Trumpers (basically all of you) are drawn to headlines like flies to sh!t.

Too bad they waited so long. Axing this long ago just might have spared some jobs.
