a place that has so lost it's way that it commissions an expensive survey to gauge the "culture", and then when the results come in , just decide to sit on them and not release them, as it paints the executive leadership in such an unfavorable light with so many employees calling for change at the top.
The yells at middle management to fix the culture.
Yep, that's the current reality.
There was a Dallas leadership summit a month or two ago where they made all in attendance stand up and swear allegiance to John Stankey and his mission, which I think it’s to trash the company before he retires. Then they surprised everyone by sharing that they were accelerating the waves. The audience got to take turns washing his feet. The culture changed when you weren’t looking.
Imagine all the commissions without the survey to gauge culture. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one..
If the “culture” survey results were good, we would have seen the results a long time ago!
Since the results had to be most likely in the tank, you know that is the reason the results will never see daylight unless the responses are adjusted prior to sharing.
So they are hoping the next survey results are better, then they (might) share those.
“ In Towne's Town Hall in April we were told the results would be delivered to management mid-month and then communicated to employees later. A question about the survey results came up in my AVP's meeting last week and we were told "The results of the culture survey will not be published. AT&T will launch the employee survey in the upcoming months to get your feedback..."”
I’m sure that survey will be better….
Jokes aside, that one is bound to be even worse.

It was the 2022 survey that executives lost their sh1t over. Some clowns said “why make me go back to the office when no one from my team is there”. So Stankey said: “eff you, let’s make you move or get you fired”
Y'all just wait, Stankey's going to go Homelander on everyone - he's the kind of guy who's just going to say, "f-them - if they think things are bad, let's show them how bad they can get."
These surveys are used for one thing, and one thing only. JD Power rankings, for which the data is massaged. Nothing more nothing less.
Wall Street knows the culture very well and has priced in the SBC cancer culture that is consuming AT&T. Bankruptcy is the path forward.
Had meetings asking about the survey. You can stop holding your breath the results are not being released.
They are going to be kept in the same box with Stanley’s “old people” comment from the town hall.
Yes, I often wonder about that survey. The biggest failure in my eyes is that everyone knows the survey was distributed for us to fill out, likely from the BOD down to the most underpaid person in the company. Yet, 3 months later not a damn word about it. That by itself makes leadership look like fools. It is obvious they are hiding something. In the recent Sambar town hall, I think it was Amanda (the person reading the questions) checked live, during the town hall, with someone via teams about the survey results. The response was it they were delayed, but were being released by the end of the month. That was in May, here we are about a month since that meeting.
Truth hurts!
