I’m being serious. AT&T promotes id--ts. Look at them. There are some very competent people, but there are also complete mo--ns in management and higher technical roles. How are you a technical seller and have no technical skill? It’s like if you are good at your job they want to keep you in it for 1000 years but if you are an id--t they promote you just to get you out of the way. Thoughts? (One rule of this post, if you are a troll and reply you have to punch yourself in the te------s three times for each word you write)

69% of internal promotions were filled by talent from historically underrepresented communities representing a year-over-year increase of 5%.
Black female here, 30yrs engineering experience who finally made it to 2nd level. Don’t they understand when they post numbers like that, everyone is looking at me like ‘you got it cuz you mark 2 boxes, not because you earned it’. Sickening.

Allow me to translate.
75% of the time we used racism as our key factor in filling open positions compared with 2021 before Biden and Democrats pushed their DEI agenda.
69% of the time, we chose a person based on the color of their skin or their lack of a phallic to fill internal positions.
If you are a white male and we’re competing against a person of color or a woman, you were not chosen based on discrimination.
“ It is discriminatory whenever a white person isn't hired or gets passed over. What else could it be?”
When are company has a DEI dept, ERG’s, ESG that excludes and they send out comms happy about it which, includes hiring percentages skewed towards race, gender and s-xual preferences then, yes it’s discriminatory. It doesn’t say we hire/promote the best people for the job, based on qualifications and merit. It’s all about how people identify and everyone should be upset about that. Logical reasoning would also include, promoting or firing for the same reasons but those numbers aren’t in the comms.
Numbers don’t lie and the last comms sent out with employees percentages broken down by race, a former poster was correct about American Indians, Caucasians being under represented according to national demographics. I would also include the Alphabet squad being over represented. Race or identity shouldn’t factor in for any position or promotion, period! It’s unconstitutional, check out your labor board in the office, it’s posted. HR and leadership has made it about identity, not the employees.

“ Hiring
• More than 75% of open positions were filled by talent from historically underrepresented communities compared with 2021”
About that, with the exception of the minority c-suite, the large employee base is skewed towards the historically unrepresented communities according, to national demographics. The Caucasians and American Indians under represented and those that aren’t deviants is even lower. So once again, unconstitutional, discriminatory hiring practices and it translates over to promotions too. The best person or merit based doesn’t matter, the company is paying the price for it now. How about those outages that have been happening more frequent and the slow software programs constantly having issues?
What color are the females? Maybe call them non-while. Colored is such a demeaning way to refer to them.
I the Legg org, there are plenty of promotions if you want to move to India.
And remember, these are your fellow employees (or human capital as the stank likes to call it), so they are in it just like you are. Plus they probably have more job security given they are cutting people domestically to hire there.
To this piece of sh-t. My qualifications would literally make you look like you had a GED. Fu-k you.
When your life goes nowhere and so many people passing you by, don't make any effort at improving yourself or working harder. Just continue to be lazy and blame DEI.
The worst is HR. Two of the worst bosses I've ever had have been in HR technology. In HR if you're an a$$ kisser or part of the LGBTQ+ community or fully loaded on DEI ideology or a combination of the three, and have absolutely no skills for the boss position you're being considered for, you'll get promoted over far more qualified peers. It's the AT&T way. Doesn't even matter who you sleep with at the company anymore. That's past history.
Nowadays, it doesn't matter what you know or who you slept with, it matters who you know and far more importantly, who knows you. Identity politics at its finest. It's ALL about the optics.
I’ve not seen the statistics for 2023 yet, but this came out in 2022 in a company wide newsletter. It still bothers me a company can’t just say they hired the right person for the job, or promoted the right person.

• We saw an 11% increase in promotions of women at the senior leader level.
• Black talent representation of promotions increased 7%.
We also increased our percentage of representation across LGBTQ+, individuals with disabilities and veterans in 2022.
‘The old joke is the you have to really f_ck up to get promoted. Sometimes it is easier to promote you out of the group than it is to fire you, so the supervisors make it someone else's problem.’
I always hated that…until it was my turn! 😂
Ended up in a better situation so I’m glad my last manager hated me.
Look at our leadership chain and compare the ratio
White men
White female
Colored men
Colored female
Transgender
The answer is pretty clear
Ok, I will since DEI has been touted in emails sent out to all the last few years except, last year when they had too much backlash about their reverse discrimination numbers. Selecting employees for hire based on skin color and s-xual preferences, not only unconstitutional but bad business practice.

Tell me you are a du----s boomer re----k who is too stupid to get a promotion without telling me lol. You hear the latest buzzwords like “DEI” on Fox News and get yourself all worked up over some non-issue so you can blame anything other than your own inadequacies. Stay mad and cope loser
That’s because of Democrats and their DEI cr-p. If you’re white, don’t except a promotion. They’ll take a non English speaking person with zero experience over you simply because of the color of their skin.
Not all upper managers are id__ts, many are micro-managers with low self esteem and huge egos. Or trying to get even with grade school bullies.

My promotion in analytics to L3 was stopped by my then boss bc he didn’t have enough time to interview my replacement.
The person they hired to run a team of analysts could not do basic excel work, had no database experience and was besties with Sue Galvanek (L5).
Two years later 90% of their work was farmed out to McKinsey.
Some of the experts in cdo are the worst.
Did you know all
Trolls have one inch pe--ses? It’s true. Look in your pants….
The promotion process in AT&T is like a glimpse into prison life. So if you’re willing to do the time and your cell mates don’t ask you to pick up the bar of soap in the shower stall then just maybe you’ll be asked to take care of a few items that others haven’t had the stomach for. Then just maybe you’ll be notified you’re eligible for a promotion. You wait and wait oh and then there’s no budget and it’s finances fault you didn’t get promoted. You wait another year and then another year and another several years Finally just when you’re thinking you’re up you get the call from your manager telling you you’re up not for promotion but that you’ll be off the payroll in two weeks. So don’t sell out and don’t believe a word managers say. There’s no honor only survival. So go now don’t wait any longer. Life is too short to give it away to AT&T and its management wardens and guards.
Gee, most of the id--ts our group have been 'blessed' with were craft from non-technical groups...
All top performers.
Some people have a hard time accepting being passed over for promotion. Spend more time whining that getting better.
Generally if your good at your job your not an a-s kisser and are probably a little angry.
In my experience, majority of folks promoted were to move them out of the original org. Strategic? IDK
