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.'
The source, described as a senior employee, said: 'If you don't do it, you're a racist.'

It’s worse than stuck on stupid. We are witnessing reprobates on steroids. They’re everywhere. . . .they’re everywhere. I’m not date setting. . . . but the Book of Revelation is easier for me to understand now than 30 years ago. https://patburt.com/
He should lead by example and give his job to a person of color. Amazing how the leaders are willing to fire lots of white people on the line for the sake of “diversity” BUT HE will NEVER step away from HIS position. Hypocrite
Complete idiot
That Stanley done stank.
Reeks even.
Producing a better product at a better price is sooooooooo outdated. I mean, screw that crap. Corporations must now tell people how to act feel, and what to do.
I love my privilege its well earned....
And as for choices, Verizon is just as bad: Verizon Hops on Critical-Race Bandwagon, Tells Employees that US Built on Racism
I remember decades ago, when conservatives defended Big Business. But today, Big Business is hardcore Leftist.
I don't know what the solution is.
I just changed from ATT cellular to consumer cellular with a savings of over $60 a month.
Unfortunately this is nothing new for AT&T. I worked at Bell Labs starting in 1985 and we had to go to “awareness” training where one of the study aides was a poster that had pictures of Gay and Lesbian leaders through history. One of them was a Catholic Pope from the 1500’s. I went to HR to question how they could possibly know that and the lady who was whatever they called the Diversity Officer at the time said that she contacted the people who produced the poster and they said it was true, so that was okay and if I didn’t like it I could go work somewhere else.
He is the problem, not white people who built the company he is trying to destroy.
So why hasn’t he given his job to someone who is not white.
Further proof that stuff other than cream rises to the surface.
The friendly looking next door liberal totalitarian
Again, taking a position that you can’t say no to, they can’t abide anyone disagreeing woth them
sadly more and more FR knobs here are the same kind of tyrant totalitarians, they will not allow anyone else to live in peace with different choices than their own
There seems to be a merger of communism and corporatism, with rich oligarchs supporting this form of Marxism. This is the Chinese model brought to America. Instead of the old class warfare the new Marxists advocate racial warfare.
If this clown wete any Whiter he’d be transparent. If Whiteness is so evil he could set a good example. Suicide IS the sincerest form of self criticism. Just sayin’
I think they want to push 74% of the population into choosing segregation, like the 1950’s.
How else to explain the progress towards acceptance of death camps for white people?
I wouldn’t wear that jacket to a dogfight. Notice he took off his bow tie to appear more casual. He probably eats mustard greens and chitlins to show his solidarity with the brothers. Your typical virtue signaling liberal. He was promoted to CEO to get him out of wherever the real work is done. Peter Principle in action.
Buy shares and then take over shareholder meetings and make them have to spend the entire shareholder meeting, every single time to answer for this.
“Complete idiot”
Why do you say that? He gets to shove his ideology down people’s throats and is paid handsomely to do so.
Can we name all the successful black folks.. yes, and there are MANY!
Can we say we witness youths in trouble youths out late, no one at home or home can’t control them.
Can we also say black folks vote democratic and dems don’t believe in helping black youths nor young adults .
Babies and no fathers..
Roosevelt handed out welfare.
The dems have not improved your schools nor your dwellings.
So who did what to whom!?
You call white younguns racist?
It is thee who is making a deal out of nothing you understand.. and your subject is racism... racism...
