@gd sounds like your entire business unit is useless to me
@gd sounds like the Facilties Manager we have here in Hidden Ridge. Never around. Or constant disappearing acts!
@ev there is no speculation. SDs openly admitting not working, telling employees not to do work, showing up on web meetings from recreational events. some live 2 hours away from the office- show up at 10am, leave at 2pm. AVPs telling people leaders it doesnt
matter what time people log on or log off.
verizon isnt running a business. its scamming america
Maybe worry about your own job and responsibilities and don't speculate on what your superiors are doing. Lol, I get a kick out of these bitter underling threads.
Come on people with these silly responses. Have spuvs reporting to VPs in a fortune 100 company! Clearly some in the middle cam be thinned but some don't have a clue that reporting and planning is needed for a company's success. Can sports teams have GMs managing the players??? They need scouts, managers etc..Try and think broader before you make judgements on how to run ten business.
Keep only 1 of these clowns that actually work, call whatever Sr.Mgr/AD/Dir/Sr.Dr/AVP— all slide makerS, none of them do actual work besides talking to each other for so called bad decisions and buddying up. Hire more US employees to do actual work-this is straight 5 to 1 reduction needed, if hatchet man really wants to fill remaining his 5bil and his own pockets before dec 2026.
agree no idea what Associate Directors, Directors or Senior Directors do. in 11 years never received an email from a single Associate Director, a Director or Senior Director. Senior Directors were always too busy for skip level. Directors would hold one, check the box. Associate Directors would lie about their promotion decisions for engineers who well could only be promoted if they moved to management. Again perpetuating the issue of Verizon having too many managers. Having being told that just underlies Verizon needs to eliminate that mentality from Executive Leadership down through. Verizon in some groups have no concept of Enterprise Grade/Combat Ready design. Poor investment in storage especially in logging and in ensuring solutions are not advised by vendors.
Managers and sups in lake Mary need to be cut. Wasting time and money updating spreadsheets all day.
its a dei clown show in LM. work doesnt get done there and avps and their directors are responsible for that because of the dummie culture they created. sell the building or knock it down and then bleach and salt the earth. finance is moving to dallas. watch. @b9
I don’t know what ADs do in your part of the business, but on our side most of the work is done by ADs/Sr. mgrs and the grunt work goes to Cslts or Managers, whatever we can’t handle. Sr Dir does mostly project management
Same in Tulsa. With the building now sold, and everyone working remote it’s an opportune time to rework all of finance and relocate all of it to Lake Mary where we own the building. Get rid of all the overlap especially on the manager and above level
@aq Thin the herd, absolutely. But if you still need a supervisor to manage you in 2026, be careful what you wish for. The herd might include you.
Thin the herd please! Supervisors can report directly to the VP.
Have all ICs report directly to a VP or Senior Director. Then we’ll see how many deliver the results expected—not just carry the title and inflated salary. The company and shareholder deserves better than having glorified admins making $100k/ year!
yes, but having that much headcount feeds chris flood's ego and his strayer university mantra
