Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

VBG Leaders - VPs, SVPs, EVPs - are the WORST

Zero understanding of what their people do day to day. Say yes to everything without understanding time, cost, or impact on priorities.

No domain experience. More time spent on building personal brands vs Verizon brand.

“Good hair” or “good on stage” is more important than competence.
More concerned with flying around the world to do town halls in front of 14 people than spending time walking the halls to see what their people are really doing.
Claim that people are the most important asset or “year of culture” but say nothing in times of uncertainty.
I’m so fed up with every one of them, their air of superiority, and their recurring bad decisions.

Tina is a “hair gang” guy.
Verizon leaders aren’t sought after. No one outside of the company believes Verizon leaders have a good pedigree. Far too much nepotism, not well educated. Verizon values compliance and activity over outcomes

Something I think is interesting: the VBG leaders who have left VZ and gone elsewhere seem to be crushing it. One is in Healthcare, another is in satellite, the security experts seem like they are doing well.

Not sure what that means. Is it that the good people are choosing to leave vbg? (Or maybe being forced out by the "hair club" - that really made me laugh btw). Or - is it that its just too hard to get results in vbg? Maybe the hair club isn't that bad and its just hard to deliver within the vz machine.

I find that the senior level competence is not horrible. And in some cases quite good. If they are approving budgets/projects the. They are very aware of time/cost.

That is my qualm - with annual budgeting process for projects.
