Email from Communications CEO "Setting the Record Straight"

Subject: Setting the Record Straight

Last night, Fox News aired an inaccurate and grossly misleading story about some work we have shifted to vendors. I suspect the story upset you as much as it did me. That's why I want to set the record straight on what we've done and how we've treated our employees.

The story talked about us moving some management billing functions to Accenture. The facts are – none of our U.S. employees are moving to Accenture's payroll and all have been offered other jobs within AT&T. If they don't accept the job offered to them and they are not able to find another job within AT&T by early next year, we will still pay them their full severance benefits.
The story also talked about tech companies bringing workers to the U.S. under the H-1B visa program. But it fails to mention that no H-1B workers will be used for teh billing functions we're shifting to Accenture.
There are other recent deals where we have shifted work and employees to companies like IBM or other vendors. In these cases, our employees are guaranteed a job with their new employer. At the same time, other companies are shifting work to us. So, it goes both ways.

I hope these facts provide you with the perspective that you didn't get from the Fox News report.

We thank you for your cooperation and encourage you to reach out to your HR support with any questions or feedback.

Thanks for everything you do.

CEO, AT&T Communications.

“ At the same time, other companies are shifting work to us. So, it goes both ways.”

Love to see the new work, the revenue forecast will jump sky high and we better start hiring like crazy to meet the demand. And why are the lay-off and rebadge happening again???

dumb id10t sent this to rebadged employees as well. How f!cking incompetent are these liars?

I think they really believe their own spin. Sitting in their ivory tower, They are out of touch with the consumer and the employees. I suspect that senior leadership does not realize how much they are loathed. Stinky is not as “woke” as he thinks he is.

But But where’s the pet where re-badged employees can come back no questions asked??

Hope Tucker gets wind of this...

And no debunk of spending 100 million on head quarters renovation. I wonder how that will help us gain a competitive advantage.

If anyone believes that BS communication then I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

Fox News was completely accurate in their report, this rebuttal is bagdad bob levels of propaganda!

they were talking about more than just the accenture deal - they also mentioned amdocs, tech mahindra and IBM. NONE of those employees were given any chance to stay on board - were expressly forbidden from even looking for opportunities AND are barred from applying for any publicly open position for 6 months.

But no mention of all the jobs just outsourced to India, and employees training Accenture to take their jobs. Funny how he left out that the rest that cannot take a job in Birmingham will be kicked to the curb 1st qtr 2021.

It is amazing to me how this company twists things to make themselves look good.

Tucker wasn’t wrong what he said was true no matter how AT&T twists it...

He's full of sh*t

Lol what a liar

Like most "fact-checkers" they are taking the broadest possible interpretation of their truth and using that to proclaim otherwise factual reporting and call it fake because it disrupts their narrative.

Be a good NPC and cooperate by not questioning their BS version of what they are doing and accept your fate when it's your turn to be under the axe.
