'You Are The Problem': AT&T Tells White Staff They Are Racist, Asks Them To Confess Their 'White Privilege'
Daily Mail ^ | 10/29/21 | Harriet Alexander

White employees of AT&T have been told to read an article saying that they are racist, are told to confess to their 'white privilege' and acknowledge 'systemic racism,' and must engage with set texts or else they will be penalized in their performance reviews. 

AT&T, in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder, introduced an internal program called Listen Understand Act.

John Stankey, the CEO of AT&T, wrote to the company's 230,000 employees in an April 2021 email, obtained by journalist Christopher Rufo and published on his website.

Stankey, who took over as CEO in July 2020, urged his workers to make the most of the resources provided by AT&T's anti-racism portal. 

'As individuals, we can make a difference by doing our part to advance racial equity and justice for all,' he wrote. 

'If you are looking for tools to better educate and inform yourself on racial equality, resources are available at Listen. Understand. Act. 

'We also encourage you to actively participate in our recently launched Equality First learning experience, a new initiative to increase awareness and action around our value to Stand for Equality.'

Most employees are not forced to engage with the Listen Understand Act program, but managers at AT&T are now assessed annually on diversity issues - with mandatory participation in programs such as discussion groups, book clubs, mentorship programs, and race reeducation exercises, according to Rufo's source. 

The source told Rufo that employees are asked to sign a loyalty pledge to 'keep pushing for change.'  They are encouraged to sign up to 'intentions' such as 'reading more about systemic racism' and 'challenging others' language that is hateful.'...

Yep, it’s a long fight out this hole. The jerks have used their debt instruments to take over America to cheering applause. They have programmed the masses to assume a high DOW = success for society. Even though we can see it right in front of our face with empty buildings, violence spreading, drug overdoses, rampant homelessness, empty shelves, but heh DOW at record highs, all is well. Now if the DOW should selloff 10%, then by golly, these politicians jump right into action.

The major corporations are willingly cooperating with our fascist government in two areas: unfairly firing people for not being vaxed, and demeaning Whites to condition them for the forthcoming Reparations.

We live in the country and have Verizon MiFi hotspot. Works great! We don’t even have phone jacks in our house so hotspot and cell only. Our TV is satellite. Works for us. But it does limit us on data but we live with it.

So how many of the upper echelon of AT&T are white supremacists?

He’s also taken away retirement medical benefits for anyone who doesn’t retire by Jan 1, won’t guarantee the entire retirement medical plan won’t be killed, slashed retirement contributions for employees, and told them that “if you don’t like it, I’m holding the door open for you.” He’s a real sweet guy, let me tell you.

And when he did not serve a purpose, you see what happened to Beale.

Chayefsky was a prophet.

AT&T: “Repent and confess your sins, oh yea white people”.
Even sins you haven’t committed or know about.

Who in their right mind wants to work for AT&T anyway?

I switched to Red Pocket, using the GSMA (AT&T) SIM card. Same service, more or less. A little chepaer than AT&T prepaid, MUCH cheaper than what I had been doing.

All I lost was international roaming, but since the government is doing the vaccine mandate thing, I figure my international roaming days are over anyway.

You can buy time on AT&T towers through resellers. Red Pocket does this.
