#allhandsmeeting

Wonder what brilliance will be announced.

Our group had an all-hands meeting recently where we spent 45 minutes witnessing managers patting themselves on the back and 5 minutes of dodging questions about backfilling roles, future layoffs or severance. So yeah, super useful and effective. I'm still trying to figure out what was the point.

Does everyone else have a mandatory housecalls town hall tomorrow?

All hands on May 20. What will we learn?

What the heck was that?

A kickoff neatly three months into the year?

It’s hard to take a company seriously that preaches productivity when they waste a half-hour showing slides of updated organizational charts since the big layoff.

It was the same old tired, “more communication”, “career development”, and “employee recognition” promises that never happen. Oh wow, cheap junk from the Canon Spotlight catalog site, just what everyone wants! Career development = more time to watch cr-ppy courses on Canon Learning, seriously? The material on that site is absolute garbage. More communication = monthly mass town hall meetings that nobody understands what is being discussed.

It looked like the HR assigned a job for the department heads to have the All Hands QA to address concerns, etc. . Layer by layer they scheduled the calls, but the answers were already given early, no additional information and updates.

Another 30 minutes of my life wasted. Blah Blah Blah AI Blah Blah Blah. Stop wasting our time!

Do not waste employees time if you have nothing new to share!
Heard the same ideas again with AI in every sentence in Nancy’s org All Hands.
Did not dare to answer most liked questions on the slido.. trying to paint rosy picture when in reality, nothing is rosy.

I didn’t catch the date, though he said it. Did anyone else notice that part? He said something like “we’ll have a better idea of the next stages”

Guys… those rumors everyone’s been whispering about? They’re actually happening. Tomorrow there’s an emergency all-hands at 10 UK time where they’re dropping the news on how the reorg is smashing EMEA. Brace yourselves.

I heard this was a sign for layoffs. I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope it's me this time

400+ group call today beginning consultancy process in UK. Psychopathic exec on the call getting giddy about the future and innovations etc.

She basically came on saying no questions at the end of this All PCS team call. They are getting eaten alive and are trying to avoid questions now.

Best exec team to turn us into next Sun Microsystems

Does anyone have any details on this? There's a formal meeting about it tomorrow evidently.

Can anyone confirm this rumor?

There is now a PTG all-hands meeting sent out today for 8:35AM EST on 2/24.

I have a bad gut feeling about this. Too many layoff announcement red flags (meeting time, date).

What did we just witness?

This company isn't even capable of running an all hands

Does Brian think we're stupid?

Use this thread to discuss today’s UHC all-employee meeting

Does anyone know what the all Leadership meeting before the all employee meeting is about today?

Ya'll lapped up the pink Kool-Aid like it was champagne. Ya'll believed Legere when he said TMO would "be job-positive from Day 1" after they gobbled up Sprint. Truth is they started laying off on Day 1.

Mmmm, that pink Kool-Aid seems to be going sour. But, go on to the next all hands meeting and rah rah.

During the all hands meeting we had the other day the VPs were saying they were looking to change current employee roles to, essentially, lower level roles. They’re basically giving out demotions but saying they’re good opportunities for growth.

They’ve already started doing this by forcing engineers and coordinators into drafting OSP designs.

Sadly not many people are complaining or raising concerns, and an oddly large amount of people are “excited” to provide “value” to the company.

i dont know bout you all we looking forward to
Tomorrows clendenim all hands meeting

love that these id--ts send out all hands meetings with no agenda and also ask for fools to give feedback on communication

hard to believe any of these ppl graduated college

text above is obv bad grammar to avoid detect with the machine learning algoz

Anyone know what was said?

Anyone else received business update meeting invite for this Thursday? Able to elaborate?

Being one minute late to a meeting is “disrespectful,” apparently. But him slurping coffee into the mic like he’s doing a Folgers ASMR? That’s “leadership excellence,” I guess.

He swears email is a letter because, his words, not mine - he’s “old.” And he responds to every single one of those letters with pride… but Slack? Oh no. That’s where he draws the line. Technology has gone too far.

And when the layoffs, sorry, the “carnage” are finally done, he says those of us who remain will be… delighted. Yes, delighted. Because nothing screams delight like survivor’s guilt and three people doing the work of twelve.

If you missed the all-hands, don’t waste your time watching the replay.

He said ALL of this in 33 minutes… a meeting that absolutely could’ve been an email.

VZ paying him over $60m for him to sip coffefe and make jokes to the entire company

• it’s unacceptable to start a meeting at 10:31 instead of 10:30 but runs over in current meeting
• talks about silos and every single thing in this company is siloed
• culture is at its worst because Sam Hammock- get rid of her
• customer service is bad across all companies- it’s literally the most simple answer- stop putting non English speakers in customer service roles
• about time we do away with not hiring / promoting outside of NJ or TX - but will we hold HR accountable for putting that new policy in place
• I do agreed with what he said about us not winning and doing poorly but in all honestly, it’s leaderships fault for where we are. When will leadership be held accountable?

Dan telling jokes and stxpid stories - in the ALL hands - while we are all freaking out of the future and so many lives being impacted. This is so unwelcomed.

Dude - you as a board were s failure - VZ leaders are just clowns - following the board and now you keep a while company to do a seinfeld sequel clown show 🤬

What is Dan even talking about in this all hands?? He seems so unprepared and is just talking in circles... he hasn't said one useful thing and is just patting the useless execs on their backs.

Is Dan's way of saying "We don't need you anymore."

Outsourced and Ai is doing the work, while we all meet.

Today's all hands confirm one more time that the Unfiltered survey is only s checkbox to say to employees: provide your feedback, we receive it but we do not care about it.
They spent maybe 2 minutes on today's all hands on the topic...+40% of employees not trusting the board are not enough to worry the board. An email saying they are going thoroughly through the feedback and take actions is all what they do... truly a sad and shameless joke!

Herald square NYO colleagues have a 10 am update tomorrow. Anyone have the details?

Get ready folks, getting strong vibes this call will include back to office 5 days a week!

The all hands on Monday were being nothing burgers. They did not say anything new. They sent an email with the changes then schedule an all hands over a week later to say the same thing? This is why VZ fails. Redundant and inefficient. Bet Friday’s call will be the same. It’s evident that things will not change. Dan the hatchet man is that, the hatchet man and will sadly pass it off to Scampath who will continue to tank the company. Leave while you can. VZ will not survive this 13k RIF. Culture, morale is dead there’s no coming back from losing trust in your people.

What’s this all about?
