So Dan's been here a Year... can anyone provide top 3 goals/strategies that is being implemented for Culture change?
I sit through All Hands and leave clueless.
Sampath at least repeated each session.
Strayer University must not of taught that to Directors.
RIF
RIF
RIF
And do more RIF and leaders take millions for doing that
What is MDU? Vz has to many silos for Directors to hide.
1) You're smoking too much Ketamine
2) You're smoking too much Ketamine
3) You're smoking too much Ketamine
Dan & Alphonso creating Echo Chamber.
They do not have measuable goals.
They speak in generalities of Customer Value.
The fact VPs & Directors are focused on their own jobs the vacuum of Leadership is the worst I have seen in my 30 years.
Sampath was the better CEO Choice.
The Vz Board needs to be replaced and when Elon buys Verizon... that giant su-king sound will be the lips of Vz Directors/VPs being removed.
Goals with this Board and C-Levels
Laser sharp
0) Dan- Extend Me for more millions to juice out.
1) Layoffs
2) Remove Employee Benefits
3) Cash out millions - so called Leaders Retirements
4) Sell out & force out EMPLOYEES
In MDUs it's create monthly Power Point Decks in red/yellow/black font and list top 3
Project 5 year fios/fwa mdu growth and put 90% of growth in year 5.
Add headcount to MDU FWA with zero net adds in 2+ years.
Sit in last seat during Operational
reviews so Alphonso/Dan lose interest and ask for a 1 minute update
Top 3 Goals ( Lazer focused for pumpingup stock price ) :
Dan and Alfonso are trying to build their own empire just like previous leadership did. They’re stocking the team with former colleagues from a failed company and don't seem to have a clear strategy or know-how. Mark my words, this rebadging is heading straight for a mess.
In finance operations our top 3 is right? Right? Right?!
Stock exploded?
With 16,000 employees terminated
Stock buybacks
Can't even artificially create a sizzle.
The Paypal Team is lost in the Telcom Wilderness!
Dan & Crew failing shareholders, customers and employees.
But they are collecting Millions a month in personal wealth.
@eb Did it though?
$44.27 on 9/18/2024
$43.95 on 9/18/2025
New CEO on 10/6/2025
$48.09 4:06pm today.
I think we have different definitions of "exploded".
The stock has exploded since Dan joined. The only Hans could do was cry at DEI events
Outstanding red brigade response. They have changed the "red" arrows, to AI slop ! Awesome.
Keep it up - this is so much fun...
@OP must not HAVE taught 🙄
@ar you're clueless
@OP not yet a year
Goal is extend contracts so Dan collects $1M a month until Board realizes stock never moved and Board picks new CEO after circlej--kThen hope Dem wins in 2028, then welcome DEI so results don't matter!
It's really that simple.
Alfonso and Ferry have been an abomination of hiring.
@ab You think you have problems. Poor platypus has 4 legs, webbed feet, a beak and lays eggs.
@aa The Tiger watches the elephant struggle to drink his beer. And goes:
@a8 Walk into a bar
@OP
A Tiger
A Platypus
An Elephant
Leaders or MisLeaders
5G - 18 currencies (2018) anyone remember
6G - everything going to change
AI - talking because you want to hear
These leaders have to be very closely monitored (meta data) what they say - start tracking them bit by bit in grafana dashboard
@OP 1) Collect underpants
2) ?????
3) Profit
The commercial opens inside Verizon HQ, now transformed into a screaming rainbow customer-service wonderland. Every employee workstation shoots sparkles, the elevators play disco, and Dan Schulman arrives in a rhinestone Verizon uniform paired with a above-knee length pink plaid kilt aboard a glitter-covered service cart. He blares “Customers, today we’re showing you exactly how Verizon serves!”
Suddenly the Ambiguously G-y Duo swoop overhead then struts through Customer Care, leather daddies run Network Operations, bears staff Tech Support, drag queens manage Retail, twinks roller-skate through Finance, and a chorus of sequined cowboys keeps chanting “FULL BARS! FULL SERVICE!” Every solved customer problem causes another rainbow to blast across the ceiling.
Dan reaches the Customer Satisfaction Station, where Alfonso wheels out an enormous ceremonial pineapple labeled CUSTOMER FEEDBACK. Dan takes one look at it and yells, “OH COME ON, THIS ISN’T LITTLE NICKY!” Smash cut to Dan waddling painfully back into the office afterward while everyone erupts in applause and a drag queen announces, “Now THAT is commitment to the customer.”
The entire workforce erupts into a glitter-soaked disco finale as Dan climbs onto a giant Verizon checkmark and declares, “At we don’t just serve customers. We SERVE customers, sweetheart!” Rainbow fireworks explode while the screen flashes: FULL BARS. FULL SERVICE. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS."
