Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

There would be no significant environmental benefit if RTO policies were relaxed or removed. Commutes to the office would just be replaced by trips to the golf course or mall. The new environmental crusaders at T are similar to all the employees who suddenly found religion during the pandemic only to submit religious exemptions to avoid the vaccine. No mention of spirituality or religion has been made by most of those employees before or after COVID.

“ Simple case could prove a large reduction in metric tons of carbon emissions just by reducing 5 days back down to 3. That’ll prove how much they really care.”

This is obviously the no-brainer thing to do but they are too hard-headed to do it. Heck even some kind of subsidy to people who get an EV and making sure there are chargers on-site at the “hubs” would be something. And don’t tell me about transit credits. We aren’t located in transit-friendly places including Dallas.

“What they DON’T say is how all these things are offset and then some by all the pollution from the thousands of employees forced to drive to work”

Stopped reading here.

Bring it up on the next town hall. Make them provide an answer.

Where’s all the corporate social responsibility goons when you need them? Simple case could prove a large reduction in metric tons of carbon emissions just by reducing 5 days back down to 3. That’ll prove how much they really care.

“ I don't disagree with you but are you really surprised?”

OP here - no not surprised. I’ve been in the corporate world long enough to know that basically every company does a ton of phony virtue signaling but this is just too easy to debunk.

I would just say that unless your conpany’s purpose is to clean up the environment the best thing to do is shut up about it because you will almost look stupid trying to talk about how “green” you are.

GOP is not he-l bent on destroying the planet, just he-l bent on not paying other countries to do nothing.

Greenwashing will make AT&T great again.

I don't disagree with you but are you really surprised? It's like the other thread around Stankey's DEI comments. Say one thing publicly but we all know the truth. We all see it every day around here. This place is a trainwreck. Regardless I need to go work on version 18 of another powerpoint deck.
