It seems odd that the other PayPal execs are around already, but Shankar is still not replaced. I mean, he's not doing any work, not showing up for anything, not talking to his teams, not setting a strategy or a direction or anything. So clearly HE knows he's out (fingers crossed that the rest of his posse are out as well.. first of all Vivek and his reports) But still, it would be nice to know which PayPal guy will oversee the next shift of 10+k jobs to India / contractors...

@b4 To help improve your writing skills, please note: instead of "However, you cant, coherently nor expressly...", it should be "can't" and then either "coherently or expressly," or alternatively, "you can write neither coherently nor expressly."
@ab yeah, you're a genius
@ac: Shankar is expendable and needs to go. Remove the welcome mat. There needs to be new life and blood for operating IT therefore a new leader.
Resultant: a new thought leader where there is an affinity within IT's rank-and-file.
@aw: you can make fun of my country with your sarcastic valediction thus closing your message. Fine and well. However, you cant, coherently nor expressly, write worth SH_T!!!
Shankar is gonna shortly be going for work life balance and to spend sometime with his family. Planned departure like he helped plan for Craig. Karma is a bi--h.
PayPal or not, Verizon is done for. They are piecemeal it to scavenge whatever is left. Another American icon to the dust.
Namaste India
What does it matter if Dan Schulman is drawing on talent from his past work stops?
That's a very common business hiring practice. In fact, there's a ton of people working at Verizon who originally came from Virgin Mobile where Dan led the MVNO startup.
If you have a good working relationship, know someone's skill set and can trust th to get the job done that's golden!
Shankar probably knows the bodies are buried. I think its a way to ensure you secure your future.
@a1 Hatchet Man gives “PayPal” a whole new meaning …. Because he likes to pay his pals. Get it?!?! lol
Shankar will never leave.
its good to call on ol' pals in a pinch.
I expect more pals from PayPal will be hired for sure
