Some AT&T employees previously told BI that it became difficult to obtain office desks and parking spaces amid the RTO push…

There’s the giveaway that they don’t actually want people in the office. They want people to quit.

This CEO is unleashing years of being ridiculed as a child for that stupid name out on everyone else. Dude needs therapy, not a position of power

Just an overpaid parasite doing what he can to abuse employees and customers.

I quickly skimmed through the entire thing and I still don’t understand what “market-based culture” is supposed to be.

He said it in context of them moving away from a culture of “loyalty” and “tenure.” Basically telling everyone that no one’s job is safe, and everyone is potentially on the chopping block.

It’s an intimidation tactic.

exploitation

It means that we all reach to what customers and their price signals tell us. Just some anarcho capitalism stuff. Corporate wants its dedication dues and for everyone to have an ownership mindset.

Not endorsing, just elaborating.

Market-based culture is not culture at all it is malignant capitalism.

That is all nonsense, in the most literal way.

"He also described the company's transition as a shift away from some elements, including "loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation," to "a more market-based culture —focused on rewarding capability, contribution, and commitment."

Rewarding "commitment" has such Trump vibes. Word salad with the underlying message being "do whatever the boss man says, unquestioningly".
