ATT Strong Arms Employees
ATT | Fightin Kentuckian

Posted on 01/12/2021 7:55:02 PM PST by fightin kentuckian

ATT sent the following letter to it's employees. This is a letter telling ATT employees they will contribute the the ATT/WarnerMedia Federal PAC or else. Won't be long before they'll have them filling out absentee ballots under a managers supervision. This is bad.

To All PAC-Eligible Employees:

A critical component of our company’s efforts to be a responsible corporate citizen is actively participating in the political process. We do this in a variety of ways, including through corporate and employee political action committee (PAC) contributions consistent with our core values.

Employees on our Federal PAC Board recently convened a call to discuss actions and votes taken in last week’s Joint Session of Congress and decided to suspend contributions to members of Congress who voted to object to certification of Electoral College votes last week.

To be clear, prior to the joint session of Congress, we publicly opposed efforts to delay or overturn the certification of Electoral College votes.

As our CEO John Stankey said last week, freedom, democracy and rule of law are America’s bedrock and must never be usurped. We congratulate President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris on their Electoral College victory. There is much to be done to move the country forward.

Tim McKone Chairman – AT&T/WarnerMedia Federal PAC

Where does it makes contributions mandatory?

“Where does it makes contributions mandatory?”

Apparently, wiser is a very relative term for you.

If they explicitly stated that your failure to donate was the reason for firing, it seems that would be actionable.

I’ve read it several times now and nowhere does it says employee contributions to that PAC are mandatory.

OK, I’ll make this as clear as I can with an analogy. A blm thug holds a gun to your head and says “give me your wallet, your phone, and your jewelry”. He didn’t say “or I’ll kill you” but that’s implied. Kapisch?

Which you could very easily have stated in the beginning without getting nasty.
I don’t read minds, my friend, and frankly, neither do you.
Have a nice weekend.

Amazing! If you read the responses on the rest of this board EVERYONE except you and the other idiot, jamestown, gets it. You’re the only two who on this thread who’s reading comprehension is below a third grade level. Did you two ride the short bus to school. I hope to hell you two didn’t make it into the gene pool.

The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office.

The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.

The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, Which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'

I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?'

The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'

Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'

The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.

Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'

Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.

Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

'Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.

But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.

'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!'

Don't Mess with Old People!!

I've over the years...been pushed hard to donate to causes I can't abide to. Had co-workers...look at me funny. Never gave a flip about them.....

I worked years for a very liberal State institution. I was never pressured to donate to anything; in fact, if we did want to donate, we were free to choose from a long list of charities.

So, maybe liberal State institutions are less tyrannical than corporations?

Naw it was just other employees....that I worked with. That I could tell...their attitudes towards me.

No big deal...I ignored them.

I never gave anything to the United Way..to this day. I have given many times to individuals.,,,that needed it.
