"AT&T Earns Spot on the Inaugural FORTUNE Best Big Companies to Work For List"

At AT&T, making our company a great place to work for each of our more than 250,000 employees is always a priority.

That’s why we’re excited to be included on the first-ever FORTUNE Best Big Companies to Work For list.

The list recognizes companies with more than 100,000 U.S. employees that passed the Great Place to Work Certification bar.

To build the list, FORTUNE and Great Place to Work consider programs such as our Employee Relief Fund and employee responses to questions about their opportunities to reach their full potential at their company, no matter who they are or what they do.

“Our employees are living proof of our values, and being recognized on a list like this reaffirms the dedication that helped get us here,” said Bill Blase, SEVP Human Resources.

Our values — and how employees are living them out —impact AT&T’s rank as a great place to work.

We’re dedicated to be there when our employees need us through policies like our 8-week paid parental leave to help new moms and dads. Our 12 Employee Resource Groups, 13 Employee Networks and mentoring programs give employees opportunities to support and learn from each other.

I saw this article also but if you look AT&T which I think was 6th on the list it suggested it had an employee 70% approval rate across the board. Verizon had 90%. The other odd thing I saw was that they identified Company "type" and Verizon was identified as "Communications" and all Companies on the list identified but AT&T was the only Company on the list identified as "Other" which I thought was really vague and odd,,,,

The press in this country is a goddamn joke. It’s not free fair or informative. This story is a great example. That is all.

Great Place ????? Ask the employees both non management and management in Connecticut who were ALL told Friday they are either gone or must move to either Atlanta ( non management ) or New York City ( management ) and then ask if they think ATT is great.

sad thing is this cold be a good be a good company. politics, forced rankings, and off shoring has helped ruin it. too many people being forced to be "yes" people and follow the chain of command without real knowledge of any of the real work.

""Not all parts of AT-) Get real. I don't know anyone that is happy in ATO or in the Entertainment group."

I don't either.

Once upon a time, there lived six blind men in a village. One day the villagers told them, "Hey, there is an elephant in the village today."

"Hey, the elephant is a pillar," said the first man who touched his leg.

"Oh, no! it is like a rope," said the second man who touched the tail.

"Oh, no! it is like a thick branch of a tree," said the third man who touched the trunk of the elephant.

...etc

That's just like working at AT&T or any big company. The company has 260,000 employees, so everyone won't have the same experience. It depends on the work being done, and the management team one reports to, and so forth.

But, it's a booming economy. If AT&T is so terrible, there are opportunities elsewhere. But fact be known, AT&T has a terrible problem in dealing with the unwinding its obsolete landline telephony.

That business is leaving, along with anyone still doing that work.

It’s a good place to work at if you want to be constantly stressed out or if you are into sketchy sales tactics and have no ethics.

"Not all parts of AT&T are bad. In fact most offer a great place to work. I the minority is very vocal though. What I don’t understand is why so many that think it is so terrible don’t go find a better company to work for. Life is short, don’t stay in a place that gives you such a bad attitude."

The ranking was published 2/14. The data is likely from last year.

Seriously doubt they'll make the list next year, after this year's repeated bloodbaths.

This just shows how the famously free press of the United States spews pro corporate propaganda for a living. It doesn't matter that what they say is inaccurate, what matters is garnering access by licking the appropriate boots.
