the letter might be a copy, but it sure hits home on a lot of facts and shows just how great working for corporate america is
Wow, just wow. That letter describes my segment of the company as well. If we spent half as much time doing actual work as we did w internal office politics ( nepotism & cronies) , we would have a successful company
Did anyone catch the Verizon "MIFI"? I guess this person could not get AT&T service/coverage? That should have been their first clue.

Wow! You are so on the money with your statements and I admire your integrity and your unwillingness to be a part of the toxicity. Best of luck! Sounds like will have a great successful career after you are out of AT&T.

AVP James Cusak,
After careful thought and consideration I have concluded that my core values are not aligned with the dysfunctional organizational culture at AT&T, It is time to move on to maintain my health, sanity, and overall happiness.
This letter is to officially inform you that I resign from my position as Senior Financial Analyst effective immediately. This letter also serves as my exit interview.
During my fourth and final interview for the position, VP of HR, asked me what I needed to be successful. I replied, “clear direction and strong leadership.”
I received neither.
Originally, I believed the biggest challenge at would stem from a lack of systems. However, I quickly realized that inflated egos, office politics and administrative incompetence would prove to be bigger obstacles. These dynamics are not conducive to innovation and productivity.
Due to ambiguous policies and procedures and the inconsistent application and enforcement of both, I was deprived of fair and equitable treatment. I did not receive fair pay for the work I was held accountable for, even after three requests for reevaluation of the job title and description against what was actually required out of the position. Additionally, I have been reprimanded for fabricated, unsubstantiated claims regarding my performance and behavior. I hardly think that a statement from one person constitutes a fair and thorough investigation.
Fortunately for me, I know my worth and I am very well aware of the value I bring to a team. I refuse to settle for any form of disrespect or maltreatment, particularly from individuals whose only credibility resides in their job title as opposed to demonstrated excellence and leadership.
I’m positive my experience isn’t an isolated one. The turnover rates and lack of employee engagement and satisfaction are further evidence of Jeniffer Sharp’s inability to attract, develop and retain talent.
I had a goal to brand AT&T as an employer of choice in our community. Unfortunately, it became abundantly clear to me that I would be out of integrity to attempt to attract employees to such a toxic and dysfunctional work place. I refuse to convince professionals to work for a 50 year old company that operates like a start-up “mom-n-pop shop” rampant with nepotism and cronyism.
I could share more for the purposes of an “exit interview” but I have little faith that information gathered would be compiled to formulate a retention strategy.
I am returning my company credit card, fob, Verizon “MiFi”
Best luck to all, we are many voices silenced by the icompetence that reigns in our workplace.
