Did the recent survey go out to the entire company or were there target depts. within the company? Curious as to whether or not this is part the process they started in 2011 or if delts are really trying to understand and want to change.

Mark my words. In a few weeks we will be getting mass emails celebrating how good our survey results were. It happens every time. Gaslighting is all Dallas can do.
This the corporate version of ‘no child left behind’.
Who cares, I’m more concerned about staying employed and working for a few more years until retirement. This leadership team has been terrible and nothing is going to change until they retire or are replaced.
T has always wanted to make improvements and make the culture better.
Says the Stank who calls employees "human capital"...nothing more than a line item on a ledger.
The survey is a bad approach — the company already has key info to know what to focus on. 100 question survey isn’t the answer. It’s a way of inevitably finding a way to get some high scores. The company needs new leadership - that’s the best start to a needed culture change.
Environment seems most will not answer honestly, or the questions are too vague.
Most employees can find some good parts amongst the bad, but the surveys are not clear about the entire AT&T vs maybe certain departments. Also who is the “leader” in so many of the questions. We have many levels and layers of leaders.. Responses can vary massively between those layers. It creates vagueness. They also should not push on everyone so hard to complete it. Let the folks willing to be honest, answer. Let the 50-70% that don’t want to feel like they have to lie on parts of it (afraid of retaliation) just not take it and not make a big deal about % of people actually completing it.
Because they practically force everyone to complete it, I do not consider it a valuable exercise and that the company legitimately is wanting to use this to get better. They know a high % are giving better than reality answers, many give much higher than they really feel, so this is a game of some sort for other reasons.
I wish I could feel it was a good exercise. I want so badly for the company to do better. But it is getting progressively worse and worse.
This survey is about the culture that Stankey wants to create, not about the general culture of the corporation. That survey will be in a couple months.

I've been here over 20 years & this statement is less true with every passing year. I've seen entire groups punished for repeated years of bad survey results.
Tell them what they want to hear in these surveys. Whenever they try to "fix" something, they only make it worse.
Went out to all management.
My department did not get the survey.
C suite could care less what employees think! The arrogance of T leadership is negligent and should be answered by shareholders suing all officers of T with massive civil damages taking back their compensation and imposing punitive damages on all officers!
“ are really trying to understand and want to change.”
That train has already left the station!
Entire company.
