Things are great! Sharing our CHRO’s thoughtful and totally on the mark post that makes me proud to be a vteamer! Vz culture is the envy of the world. Humbled and honored!

We talk a lot about culture — but culture isn’t what we say we value. It’s what our systems, habits and decisions show we value.

Too often, we treat culture like a communications plan — something we define in words, campaigns or values statements. But culture doesn’t shift because we say it should. It shifts when we change the systems behind it — when leaders take risks, make different choices, and model through action and accountability what those values truly look like.

At Verizon, we often say our values guide everything we do. But that only happens when each of us practices them — in how we show up for our customers and communities, and in how we care for one another.

That’s exactly what our Culture OS is about. It’s not a campaign or a checklist — it’s how we build our values into the way we work every day. It’s how we make our culture real and lasting.

Because culture isn’t something we communicate.

It’s something we practice and live — in every decision, every interaction, every day.

Right-Sizing Leadership for True Value Delivery

FIS has developed a structure where the ratio of management roles far outweighs the size of the actual technical teams. Over time, this has led to many highly skilled technical contributors leaving the organization, while a significant number of non-technical leaders have been added at the SVP, VP, Sr. Director, Director, and Sr. Development Manager levels. Much of this work could be more effectively coordinated under a strong, technically proficient project manager. In its current state, even senior leaders such as Stephanie may not have full visibility into which teams are truly driving delivery and creating measurable value for the company.


Like Great Marines - IBM "Leaders" need to learn how to "eat last"

A reporter asked a Marine. "Why are Marines so good at what they do?" The Marine replied, "Officers Eat Last."

Yes, it is a common practice and a widely held belief in the Marine Corps that officers should eat last. This isn't a strict rule, but rather a symbolic gesture and a practical demonstration of putting the needs of their subordinates (enlisted Marines) before their own. It emphasizes the principle of selfless leadership and prioritizing the well-being of the team.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Symbolic gesture:
The act of eating last in the chow line reinforces the idea that leaders are responsible for the welfare of their Marines and that they prioritize their needs.

Practical application:
In the field, junior Marines are often the ones doing the most physically demanding work and need to be properly fed to maintain their energy and readiness.

Leadership principle:
This practice is deeply rooted in the Marine Corps' leadership philosophy, which emphasizes service, responsibility, and putting the needs of the team first.

Beyond the chow line:
While it's most visible in the chow line, the concept of "leaders eat last" extends to various aspects of Marine life, where leaders are expected to make sacrifices and ensure the well-being of their Marines.

Not just a saying:
While some might consider it a saying, it's a practice that many Marines take seriously and strive to uphold.

I never knew this but subscribed to this philosophy for some time now. Focus on serving other versus self-serving.


The Servant Leader Was Asleep at the Wheel

I was recently speaking with a friend who asked me about JD who she worked under at Bain. After listening to my rant, she expressed surprise that he was focused on DEI at Nike. She said that certainly wasn't the case at Bain as evidenced by the fact that once she became pregnant she quickly learned the company had no maternity policy. I thought JD was always singularly focused on serving his troops? When I mentioned that JD was now the AD at her alma mater Stanford, she just winced.


Severance is insulting

If you were part of the layoff, you received 8 weeks of severance, unless you worked at F5 for 13 years or more. Eight weeks. For up to twelve years service. For a company that has had multiple back-to-back record setting quarters.

You're welcome, I guess, for creating product, over the years, that generated those revenues. For a company that claims to care for its employees (and in the past, actually did), this is more aligned with the Jelly of the Month Club.

Is this really the best they could do?


From CARGILL Careers Page - What a JOKE

"At Cargill, everyone matters and everyone counts. Cargill is committed to creating and sustaining an inclusive and diverse work environment where all employees are treated with dignity and respect"

There was NO dignity and certainly ZERO respect when I was laid off. I was ghosted by my manager and treated by the company, colleagues like I'd been fired for cause.
