"We don't have to roll back anything," Stankey told Yahoo Finance
"Our policies and our approach at AT&T have always been that we progress people on merit”
Not what he said when he announced after the summer of 2020 that AT&T would focus on hiring diversity candidates and POC.
Some of the leadership positions can only be explained by either 1) DEI hires or 2) Cronyism. If they aren't one of those two, they are just plain awful choices that were made by someone who was clueless and couldn't recognize that the person they chose was like #8 on the stack rank of people interviewing for the job.
you're not under oath when you say things to the media
“ Liar liar pants on fire. I was a recruiter there for 15+ years and there most definitely was a diversity mandate. Had to have a woman and or a POC on every candidate slate”
Say it again for the people in the back. And those people were most likely to get the job, even if they were less qualified. My wife is a recruiter and she has said the exact same thing. I’ve even seen it put in writing by some companies. It is racism, it has been ruled illegal. Now they are trying to act like they didn’t do it or aren’t still doing it.
Standard lying POS...he does what blackrocl tells him to do like a good little foot soldier
Large companies, like AT&T, are required (and expected) to “do more” to right past wrongs in hiring and promotion practices of the past. For most of the last 150 years this company adhered to discriminatory practices that violate EEO and ADA laws. The attempt to right past wrongs known as “disparate impact” were meant to expand the search ring for qualified candidates. White males who complained about “reverse racism” were actually victims of “plain old racism” because in the modern world, working at a Telecommunications utility has a rather low bar for “merit” for any role. Small companies are not required to do anything more than the bare minimum, so “exceptional white males” can always leave to pursue opportunities at any of the thousands of small businesses. But they won’t, because they have no skills, and were only hired or promoted in the past through the “good ole boy” system. Losers!

Merit = people who are yes men that are golf buddies who kiss up to the boss.
“I have had multiple TDPs over the years and can say I have been consistently (and pleasantly) surprised by their enthusiasm, willingness to learn and, most importantly, their lack of entitlement. They have been a pleasure to mentor”
Alex, I’ll take “things that never happened” for $1000 please.
Well let's see.
a. I was hired by AT&T in a "traditional woman job" CLERK - because I was a White Male and "filled a quota".
b. I completed a Marketing test and was denied the Mgt. job because "I didn't measure up to THE QUOTA".
c. I interviewed for a few uppler mgt promotions but didn't fit the criteria (I was told) because I was a White Male and in 1 case the job was filled by a VP's daughter, in another case the job was filled by an executives mistress and in another case by a minority woman who was on disability who had half her brain cut out due to brain cancer (and who could not report to work for 4 mos) and when she did return she just sat at her desk all day staring at the wall.
Yeah, this company has no DEI or EEO slot hirings.
And almost forgot. I have Oceanfront Property for sale on Akard St. in DLLS.
My checked boxes include lots of complaining and laziness. I did not get the promotion.
Maybe it wasn't DEI? Maybe it's just you?
100% really?? Just cause your close friend didn’t want to tell you the truth that you were not qualified?
Seems like these are your rules:
Anti-black/brown = good
Anti-white = bad
Not only was i denied a promotion twice by hiring managers that were friends, they actually told me off the record i wouldnt be approved because i did not check any boxes.
Years later i sat through multiple town halls where a VP/higher showed diversity statistics and praised efforts to promote DEI hires to alter those statistics.....in effect telling white males to give up completel
Add in the mandatory training and semi-mandatory meetings where people could tell the group how hard their life has been by being a minority. Not that I cpuld speak up a out growing up in poverty because that doesnt count.
We are 100% a DEI company. Stank is just diverting to stay off Trump's radar.
“ Says the actual racist that admits and confirms that DEI is a thing here at AT&T. LMAO!!!!
Can’t make this up. We have some real anti-white people here.”
Koolaid taste good?
TDPs can automate any non revenue wireline process OP has been working on the last 37 years in about two weeks.
I have had multiple TDPs over the years and can say I have been consistently (and pleasantly) surprised by their enthusiasm, willingness to learn and, most importantly, their lack of entitlement. They have been a pleasure to mentor (young, fresh minds with no bad habits / jaded attitudes - yet any way!).
“Give it up!
Your desperate old rants on DEI being the bane of all our problems is getting so tiresome.”
Says the actual racist that admits and confirms that DEI is a thing here at AT&T. LMAO!!!!
Can’t make this up. We have some real anti-white people here.
Not blame on him. All the big companies are doing the same. I saw msft internal memos that required to meet the number to promote/hire the specific race. If can’t meet, requests the training until to meet the number. Now they close DEI office and layoff all the stuff. The same happened on meta.
He is a mother-f-king liar and he knows it. He, along with his Chief Travesty Orchestrator, conducted an extensive culture and racial cleansing operation on the employee base for the last three years. Does anybody really believe they were not targeting the older and targeting the white employee base. Employees and families watched and witnessed a systemic move of their jobs out of state in target-based Waves. #fcc #doj will certainly be investigating #att . Why else would this a-s clown make such a statement. All the proof anybody needs is to subpoena the net hiring stats for the replacements that occurred. Good old modern day ethnic cleansing.
Ah yes, I remember the corporate email proudly touting their success at promoting by merit.
It clearly broke down employees by their “merit” I mean demographic and boasted gains in promotions for women and people of color, I mean that performed well.
What a lying sack of
Old, lazy guy who doesn't have what it takes to make it in the modern world complaining about DEI.
Trump needs to force T to onshore 90 percent of the jobs T has offshored as a condition of approving the deal! Make T great again.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaa! Merit. Yeah, seeing a lot of promotions based on merit lately… not.
Love me some DEI, discrimination at its finest. Doesn’t the civil rights act give companies the ability to discriminate based on identity and race? That’s what all these DEI lovers think.
Then get rid of the DEI mandatory training that employees need to take each year.
These TDP kids actually think they have choices at work???? Actually they need to jump in roll their selves up and get some work done. They also need to realize just how much they don't know and begin asking some of the older people they despise for help. They have been papered all their life and told they are great. From what I have seen they are not the generation that is going to see this company forward. That's the reality!
"Have you actually worked with some of these TDP candidates?"
What's said is that many have been coddled all their lives so they feel entitled. No one ever told them they are wrong. So, when it happens the first time it is always someone else's issue.
Your desperate old rants on DEI being the bane of all our problems is getting so tiresome.
Have you actually worked with some of these TDP candidates? Most of them are d-mb as a box of rocks. They might have passed some kind of screening, but they aren't very smart (with the exclusion of some of the engineers/developer types) and have terrible writing and communication skills.
Rto is all about making the company less old and less white. Discrimination at its finest.
Way to go Stankey.
Give it up!
Your desperate old rants on DEI being the bane of all our problems is getting so tiresome.
Wear your h00d and at least be honest about it.
Let’s go to the data and examine the hiring and promotions shall we? Pretty sure that tells a different story now doesn’t it. Also just look at the TDP pics and there’s proof.
"We don't have to roll back anything," Stankey told Yahoo Finance
Has he ever looked at pictures of TDP groups?
He sure doesn’t sound proud of DEI.
He wasn’t defending the concept
He’s a liar. 🤥. Typical talking points. We have multiple people in various levels across the company that were promoted or brought in based on DEI. 6 Pinocchio’s. 😃
