Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

The Credo is a thing of the past.

The fabric of what made Verizon as Verizon is the Credo. It energized the V-Teamers to be the best in what we do and what made the company as it is over the years.

• Integrity: At the center of who the company is; built on honesty, ethical behavior, and trust.

• Respect: Valuing diversity, embracing individuality, and listening carefully to others.

• Performance Excellence: Setting high standards, prizing innovative ideas, and working as a team.

• Accountability: Taking personal and organizational responsibility for actions and never letting customers or coworkers down.

• Customer Focus: Building on a strong network foundation to deliver reliable services and superior experiences.

• Agility and Action: Fighting bureaucracy, acting fast, taking risks, and treating change and crises as opportunities.

V-Teamers use to care for V-Teamers. Today, it's every person for himself or herself. The Core Values don't exist anymore in the company's culture. With leadership changes over the years with Han and now with Dan, the Credo is a thing of the past. It's all about AI, shareholder value, office politics, etc. ... Smoke and Mirrors.

Toxicity and uncertainty are at an all time high. V-Teamers are waiting to be RIFed to get their severance packages and move on. The office environment is survival of the fittest; who can kiss a-s; it's not what you know or what one can do, but who you know; etc. It's sad, disappointing and disheartening.

Good Luck and Best Wishes, V-Teamers ... We deserve better and the grass is greener on the other side of the road.

@OP “Integrity” at Verizon is a one way street meaning “please don’t take kickbacks or steal from the company”. It doesn’t mean they’re going to treat employees with integrity. Sorry if you misunderstood!

Regardless of Credo, the environment at VZ has been so toxic since Dan took over.

Are you serious ? The credo was bs … it was a claim they all SAID but next followed in action. A big word salad of lies since the day it was penned .

@ae maybe you had too much time not to complete required items pushed as part of employment. Credo was one of that required training. they required to take and Q&A after that.

At least the credo gave us something to strive for! The fact that it was plastered on the wall at headquarters and showed up on our PA’s made some people stop and think on occasion. I was a little dismayed when it just disappeared & then our PA became just a lot of trash metrics. Today was my last day at VZ. It was a good place to work, but honestly I won’t miss it. Best of luck to all who are left to navigate the chaos.

@df Small correction: Your best was good enough for me to take credit for it today. Tomorrow you might lose your job and I’ll have take credit for someone else’s work but I’ll survive.

OP is partially right.
The Credo is Dead
Code of Conduct is Dead
Protecting CPNI is Dead (AI now saves it)
Employee moral is Dead

Anyone who took the Credo too seriously had WAY too much time on their hands.

If you ever believed in that credo, you are a special kind of naïve ....
