Analyst: Verizon lacks growth story
Whereas T-Mobile has a mobile growth story and AT&T has a fiber growth story, Verizon has been losing subscribers, noted Roger Entner, analyst at Recon Analytics.

“Verizon made its financial numbers by extracting more money from fewer and fewer customers, which is not a long-term winning strategy,” he said. “One of the things that Verizon really needs is a balanced scorecard, where not only financial metrics are important, but also subscriber metrics.”

Entner said he thinks Schulman’s appointment is a stop-gap measure and eventually, Sowmyanarayan Sampath, Vestberg’s heir apparent, is likely to take over. Sampath is currently CEO of the Consumer Group at Verizon.

“The company has been struggling,” Entner said. “I think this gives Dan the opportunity to do a lot of probably painful things before he hands it over to the longer-term CEO, and that’s in all likelihood Sampath.”

TMO and V announce new CEO's. What you think?

I just wanted to have my own topic to go with the other twenty saying the same thing.

New ceo said hard decisions will be made when discussing how we will win for shareholders... Layoffs? Lots and lots of layoffs? Yup

Don’t delude yourselves into thinking this might be different. There’s no such thing as an employee-positive CEO. They’re all beholden to shareholders, even those few who don’t think about their own pockets first. The only question right now is how drastic the cuts will be.

Hans is stepping back to pursue his passion of assembling IKEA furniture and moonlighting at the cafeteria, where he will excel at cooking mediocre meatballs.

What do we think of the new CEO? More reorgs, more woke, more su-king?

Getting rid of Value, asap

During the 2018–19 United States federal government shutdown, Schulman initiated the idea for PayPal to offer $500 in interest-free cash advances to furloughed U.S. government workers, committing to provide up to $25 million in interest-free loans.[14] In 2019, Schulman unveiled PayPal's Employee Financial Wellness initiative to help struggling workers by lowering healthcare costs, and creating avenues for employees to receive equity in the company to promote long-term saving.[15]

some might say that he has not been back enough time to make any changes and show results.
Whereas some might say he is not working out.

I would like to know what most of you think of his performance and about Nike's future?
Comment is greatly appreciated to build consensus of EH administration in this site.

My take is that his administration is failure.

I heard Board is talking to someone from T-Mobile to come in.

Is it the best decision he made after he became the Qualcomm CEO?

Who in the world is next up for CEO? Seems like there is a big crop of senior leaders up for forced retirement at the same time (MW, MN, CN, BN) that are going to cause a massive daisy chain. No one super promising in the 50-55 year old range.

We have a gasilian CEO's waiting in the wings. We have left enough old people go, why not one more?

What goes up in will come down, praying for a hard sell off you disgusting horrible person — how do you sleep at night knowing families are being uprooted, thrown into financial chaos, denied severance relief and more for the sake of greed. At the end of day you are nothing more than a hardcore scammer.

Could be our new CEO?

$60 Billion revenue.
$40 Million CEO income.

Federal Taxes:
2023: 308 million (on ~60 Billion revenue)
2022: 50 million
2021: -169 million (negative tax)
2020: -723 million (negative tax)

I was in person for Jim’s town hall and had to stifle a laugh when he described Maurice’s email as “a thoughtful memo”

Just how many of his VP’s have said they don’t agree with his email….

Our VP made a point to say they didn’t agree with it on today’s Town Hall. Not the first time I’ve heard it from leadership either. In fact, I haven’t heard a single person support it.

They wanted to distance themselves from his opinion.

Anyone else?

How is this guy still CEO?

He’s lost the entire company from the top down.

He’s gotta go!

Telling some of your top performers and employees that the decision to cut your job was done to "strengthen the company". Next month they'll be saying their people is their power. It used to be "we only keep the elite, top performing" as if your status here is some badge of honor. Only the best get to stay. Think that lie has run its course. They think folks who continually refuse to pull their weight, do the bare minimum and constantly whine about the need to do more will match the work ethic of the folks they are laying off. Good luck with that. Ive given up my weekends, evenings and worked so many hours because of these so called competitive moves. Who's going to do that now? This is about a bottom line, a bottom line gets you bottom of the bucket quality. I hope this company finally gets what it deserves. For folks outside of the company thinking of doing business with Imperial or ExxonMobil. Stay far far away. Unless you love not getting paid, having no one to answer your phone calls and now no one to hold those individuals accountable to do either of those things.

Lots of talk about the CEO but no one is talking about the SVPs that must be thrilled right now, especially HK who likes to motivate people with the fear of losing their job (he has said so closed door meetings)

They know people that made it through this layoff are afraid now, and I bet SVPs are thrilled.

When LP is out / retire ?

No longer with APA but hear they sent out an employee survey. Won’t be surprised if minions just lie and APA named a top 2025 workplace. Be honest or don’t fill it out at all, but please don’t lie. Also, why does this cr-ppy company need a CEO and a President? Fire the CEO and save $10m easy. Sitting back on the side and watching this company crash, I feel bad for all the employees that have been there for years. Worthless board, hasn’t done it job and now it’s too late and won’t make a difference. Only hope these fools at the top have is to try and sell the company.

Very surprising

CR’s marketing for attaching with celebs was great. CR even attached himself with NVIDIA CEO.

Boards have one core job: protect shareholder value. Their role isn’t to be friends with management or the CEO — it’s to keep them accountable and make the tough calls when things go off track.

The problem comes when boards get too cozy with the CEO. They stop challenging decisions, ignore red flags, and let loyalty or personal relationships cloud their judgment. When that happens, no one is holding leadership accountable, and the company can spiral.

The result? A CEO unchecked, making bad calls, chasing ego-driven projects, and ultimately destroying shareholder value. By the time the board wakes up, it’s often too late — the company’s reputation is damaged, the stock is down, and the people who suffer most are the employees and investors who trusted them to do their job.

So why haven’t we seen any investors holding the board accountable for their failure. Didn’t they neglect their fiduciary responsibilities by causing up to Mark and allowing him to make horrible decisions that have seriously damaged the organization.

Mike Sicilia was the head of Oracle’s Industries Global Industry Unit (IGIU) until today, now he is the CEO of Oracle. I think he failed already. At IGIU VP/SVP titles were selected for layoff is only 5.6%, well below a commonly cited ~10% benchmark for broad reductions. Why might senior titles be less affected? We can all name plenty of worthless VPs and SVPs at IGIU. Transparency on criteria would go a long way toward trust. I don't trust Mike, do you?

Are we expecting the company to split?

They just announced a new CEO.
Not impressed and may stay with T now. I know this a site for T but I have stocks in all 3 big telecoms.

Thoughts?
