Management here is all about who you know. I’ve seen high-performers ignored for promotions while less competent ‘favorites’ move up quickly. Then cue the shocked Pikachu face when they don’t work out and everything gets messed up beyond repair. Who’d have thought, right?

This isn’t just a Verizon issue—it’s corporate standard operating procedure across the globe. High-performers get sidelined, while ‘favorites’—those fluent in flattery and safe thinking—climb the ranks. The result?
