Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Anyone else receive the email “Help us recognize your tech contributions”

Looks like some workgroups received an email with the above title. They are launching some AI-Enabled Activity Summary and we’ll have to audit against what the AI activity generates. Was curious to hear others thoughts who received this email?

Is this AI tracking is bad ?
They are always tracking anyway, every click and so on recorded as business rules…

So this is good or bad? The people who got it, they are being tracked or they will participate in program to check on general ai estimates and provide feedback?

@e5 In that case they should be tracking Hans. How much value is the company getting from paying him $24 millions to be a special advisor?

Which SVP org is getting this email? By talking to various teams, GTS/TPD/Finance didn't get this email although the senders are the heads of VCG, GNT, and VBG. I got this email, and I'm part of VCG Product org.

It’s just the capital labor survey in a different form.

@OP The assumption behind these initiatives is that the strategy pursued by the C-suite for the last few years has been on point and it has been implemented flawlessly by the SDs and ADs who knew exactly what needed to be done. The only thing ailing Verizon is that the ICs aren’t good enough or aren’t working hard enough!

In reality the strategy was hopelessly flawed and the best workforce in the world couldn’t have salvaged it.

The absurdity is comical!

@OP Why not use Gemini to embellish on your tech contributions? Hopefully it’ll hallucinate something good.

@OP Thank you for posting this and thank you Verizon for letting me experience another bout of JOMO! I also love the Orwellian language! They just want to recognize your contributions not put your work under a microscope! 😂

I’m curious what this is for as well, the FAQs and job aid created more questions than answers for me!

Yes, what are they trying to track? They want to track even doctor appointments. This company is becoming suffocating day by day without any pay increase.
