Read AT&T CEO's frank response to employee feedback about a 5-day RTO mandate — and much more

AT&T CEO John Stankey issued a lengthy memo addressing the shift to a "more market-based culture" and the results of an employee engagement survey.

For those of you who are fans of management science, this shift can be characterized as moving away from an orientation on hierarchy and familial cultural norms and towards a more externally focused and competitive market-based culture. I understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an “employment deal” rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits. We have consciously shifted away from some of these elements and towards a more market-based culture — focused on rewarding capability, contribution, and commitment.

    1. So maybe you guys started expecting to be paid for your work and I’m here to tell that we aren’t doing that any more.
    2. Loyalty is somehow distinct from commitment - so long as you show up in person for meetings you can do all the corporate espionage your heart desires. We like go-getters to a self-destructive degree!
