Company's biggest downfall was implementing DEI in hiring/promotion.
This is what happens when you hire/promote incompetent people just because they are a particular race/ethnicity as opposed to hiring/promoting someone of their merit.
Verizon will be fined millions of $$$ for this and will continue to suffer as you have these people in top positions not knowing nor being qualified for the positions that they are in.
Message to the hire ups and decision makers of Verizon: Hire and promote those who earned it, not because their skin is darker.
