So anyone know what happened? Kyle said two people who were perceived to be “high performers” engaged in serious misconduct, via kickbacks apparently. Anyone know any details?

Hence no IT SOW projects being sourced?
Yep.. happens every once in a while. Now everyone will suffer as they ratchet down bids, purchasing, etc to a point where no one will be able to do their jobs....it’s the Verizon way
@OP+16o79XkL, why are you putting that up a second time after it was already attributed? @4ols, take the message.

@ Post ID: @4abf+16o79XkL:
Where have you been all this time with your rendition and mantras??
You are full of yourself "if" you believe that VZ's IT Execs are at the top of their game and best in class to augment efficiency to the balance sheet.
VZ's IT Exec make decisions marked by spreadsheets and pptx files. These Execs' dont have any idea as to what the rank and file of the IT management hierarchy are accomplishing.
I am sure we will meet soon and I will explain in person.

IT's poor leadership, poor management and poor vision. Cost me and my household dearly. The ineffective culture does not bode well. All of the relegated poor IT issues started with the merger of GTE and the forming of Verizon. The GTE IT incumbents got the seats at the table and hence it has been one big blunder after another. Few of the former GTE IT executives have separated after the last big Infy rebadging. Need to clean house in IT from the top to the bottom. Innocent lives have been damaged by the worthless IT Senior Managers and above. Again, need to clean house in IT from the top and down to the IT Senior Managers.
16079xkl. Shut up! Bucket trucks take SKILL, stupit
All management needs to kneel to us!
Please the skim of trim has been a wireline IT process for years. As a consultant I get paid $65 per hr and billed at $80. The other $15 per her hr , per month , per year of skim goes to the IT layers of mgt. Its cash so they think hard to track but really not so much if know how to look
It’s VZ baby it’s IT baby it’s the way it works
If you send a message on integrity have the integrity and accountability to act on it .
Leadership matters and people are watching
Can't wait for 2023, I will work every day at double time. Made a fortune last time around. Hope it's more than 50+ days - I LOVED the bucket truck. Easiest job ever.
Hello Kyle
Stop sending emails and take action
This is the second email in two years and people keep taking the money and laugh
Clean house you are a supposed to be a leader
Do your job Kyle and follow the credo
IT has been corrupt since wireline took over
Only IT leaders who cared about results came from wireless. The wireline guys were all friend and family and line my pockets
Shanks secret sauce
The IT PR mavens must stop 👎🏻 for shanks
Have integrity
You know the corruption
Cut the head of snake off
Management- white devil's and uncle Tom's. Life is too good for them!
Management needs to pay reparations to the union
This is union turf now.
Take your management BS where someone gives a c-ap
So no names or initials. Quite interesting, I wish they investigated VES and its decade long offshore vendor relationships which are often managed by their spouse or in laws.
Shank must go.
Sounds like someone got caught with their hand in the secret sauce jar 🤣
Those greedy IT leaders never learn
There was a leader who called out the games going on with IT and the vendors and he got fired . I am sure no one will step up to that now so not surprised it is running rampant
What's with all the down votes? There are really that many people who think IT is sunshine and roses?
Heard it was 2 individual on the wireless side of the house in NY that were taking kickbacks from vendors
Again? Time to change the culture by getting rid of the SVP and VP of the organization where this occurred. What happened to the Credo?
Isnt it systemic , when the CIO is unable to hold his teams accountable for failed project , every incentive is to make power point based pumped and dumped project. They spend money with unrealistic deadlines on il-conceived projects which eventually fail but no one asks what happened tp the promises. Its only logical for such project manager to then run entirely self dealing projects . After-all there is no accountability. If the CIO had the guts to ask hard questions from his handpicked minions they will be prudent with the money. For the sake of our careers and shareholders a change in technological leadership is urgent.
Omg talk about stating the obvious. The kick backs in IT have been going on forever and leaders turn a blind eye. Make sure you wonder why 🤔
