Yeah, right! Sounds like a questionnaire, filled out by the company.

How can a company be ethical, if for an entire career they promise their long term employees, they will get certain benefits, and then change their mind?
Do give them credit, they did give plenty of notice for the change, but still an unethical.

AT&T does pay well, sometimes very well. Just treatment of employees.

As they say on the promo for "Wait wait don't tell me", it's easy to clear the bar when you bury it in the ground. Standards in business are so low that if you don't out right throw your employees in front of a train you look great in comparison. Besides companies pay to get this award. What do you suppose that means? It's like paying to have s-x. It means you're ugly. 🤣

which one did we pay more for, this or JD Power?

Bought and paid for, including the right to say they are on the list. What a joke. LOL

This calls into question the ethics of ‘Ethisphere’. I’m sure ATT paid for this ranking.

We have too many mouths to feed at home.

Business ethics not equal to actual ethics. They could only compete in the business ethics arena.

OK. I give up. What's the punchline?

Just ask anyone in retail how ethics are in this company.

This is just another cheap, sleazy AT&T bu-----t PR/marketing effort.

If you want to know how "Ethisphere" operates, see the following link to an old LA Times article about their business model.

https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-lazarus-20141028-column.html

From the article:

"I spoke with Tia Smallwood, Ethisphere’s chief marketing officer. She said about 600 companies were considered for inclusion on this year’s most-ethical list. Nearly all nominated themselves, she said.

To be named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies, a company must respond to a survey containing about 150 questions about its “culture of ethics,” leadership and corporate citizenship. Nominees are encouraged to provide supporting materials, such as the ethical training that employees undergo.

Smallwood said Ethisphere then scores and ranks nominees based on their answers and submissions."

Oh, and they charge a fee for application, and they make additional money off of licensing the "award" for advertising purposes.

The act that T would get involved in something like this, let alone publicize it, speaks volumes abut the character of the people running the company.

There never have been and never will be ethics at this company.

The only person, a MAN that has ethics at at&t was BLAIN - retired a few years ago. Ethics, Honest, a real Christian & displayed it daily and was a true leader. Retired! No ethics here now.

Publicity stunt. How much they pay for this?

Just like the Grammy awards. And the Oscars. All junk. Follow the money.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is bull💩

Is this some kind of sick joke?

The award was bought and paid for by AT&T LOL

Who's on 1st?

I guess they are ethical as long as you follow their ethical guidelines.

Otherwise not so much.

Lol made me sp-t my coffee out. Doesn’t surprise me though in this clown world we are living in today.

When you start with very low standards…

There are consulting firms whose business model involves giving public awards in exchange for business.

If you didn't know that, now you do.

And I am a supermodel lol

Nothing but marketing BS. Let’s make up awards for ourselves.
