Are they scared of losing their job? It is just horrific these days. Grow a spine and tell the truth and take ownership instead of blaming others.

People are burned out and unmotivated due to RTO so now nobody wants to do anything and instead just play the blame game to get someone else to step up. Not good.
This is the much discussed AT&T culture. It is working as intended and rewards only those without any ethics.
It's always been part of AT&T but went into overdrive when we introduced connection awards.
Valid question... thinking political party worshippers that have been allowed to vote, with no vetting process, maaaaaaayyyyyyy have something to do with it!?!? Maybe??? Definitely!!
Be an informed voter starting this year and we may just have a chance.
Incompetence is rewarded, competence is punished. The narrative is the most important output. They must protect the narrative at all costs.
We need a system that rewards effort, not excuses. Too many people have figured out how to coast while everyone else carries the weight. That’s not fairness it’s exploitation. If someone is capable of contributing, they should contribute. No endless loopholes, no gaming the system, no free ride at everyone else’s expense. Accountability isn’t cruelty; it’s the bare minimum for a society that expects to move forward.
Nepotism and obfuscation seem to be two of the largest forces at work in AT&T.
Unfortunately c-suite and their directs reward those things and people have picked up on that. To keep their place or advance, they’ll cling to who they think will protect them while also hiding the issues they find and the moves they make.
Lately? People have been doing everything you mention and more since our ancestors came down out of the trees.
It's a part of what makes us human, like it or not.
They close ranks to protect one another, and then gaslight anyone who dares to tell the truth. I just watched a situation involving HR end with the person who was accused getting quietly promoted into a bigger role, while the leader who enabled it faced no consequences at all. It’s hard not to feel like speaking up only creates harm for the people who try to do the right thing.
Nobody gaf about nobody.
I will blame someone else if it saves my job. Me and my family comes first. Sorry Charlie.
When you have a CEO not taking responsibility for network outages and data breaches, it sends a message. There should be no surprise that this has become acceptable behavior throughout the organization.
It's just the att way. Comes down from the top.
