Verizon is trying to convince rival AT&T employees to switch companies after AT&T’s recent return to office mandate.

Verizon notified certain AT&T employees about the offer in an email (first viewed by and reported on by Business Insider). Verizon still offers remote and hybrid roles, and wants to use these positions as leverage to attract top talent.

The email read: “Following the news of changing RTO policies across the industry, we’re reaching out to share helpful resources and potential hybrid/remote job opportunities across Verizon. If you have been personally affected by organizational policy changes or know anyone who has, we’re looking to add top talent to the V Team.”

In a response to Business Insider, AT&T said, “We desire individuals who wish to work in a dynamic and challenging team environment with strong relationships and collaboration fostered by in-office constructs.” They also said their employees “always have a choice to pick the type of company and work environment they wish to be part of.”
