anyone under the previous CISO should be starting to look for employment elsewhere both in Network Engineering and CyberDefense. Why continue down a path of overspends, under delivering and still not having an innovative strategy in 2026z
@c4 GTS was corrupt at its core for a long time, and will still be until Dan cleans that house. Shankar, then Vivek.... more need to go. Clean house all the way to Senior Dir.
@b5 Not in my experience, I moved to VCG after that and it was so much better.. you have no idea how toxic is / was GTS
Oh corruption?! Same oh consistent business model he always pitched. So nothing new and hidden. I remember him as always the value guy, invest in something cheap and competitive, up the labor force in VZI and dodge questions related to onshore businesses.
Who cares? Good riddance!
Why was Vivek fired? What corruption case?
@a8 I'm pretty sure that is the culture in every area of the company! Rule by Fear and only hire the yes men!
@ar So.,.. question is.... Will Verizon cover this up or will they be transparent about rooting out corruption?
@at Yes... why was he walked out of the building?
@ar Did you mean that Vivek was basically walked out of the building ?
@a3 Yeah that's NOT what happened. Those other two were not basically walked out of the building.
Ramaswamy?
@a8 so he Implemented the cast system. Good riddance
I was far enough down the ladder that I wasn’t privy to all the inside details, but I worked in his organization when Shankar was around. They had created a very toxic environment for the team. They would instill fear in team members and seemed to favor and promote people who complied with them and were willing to bootlick, rather than those who challenged them or spoke up.
Most of the team members were Indian, and I felt that cultural dynamics were sometimes exploited to intimidate people and discourage them from pushing back.
Not exactly.... That's NOT what happened
Old news. He’s retiring- was announced back in early Sept. 2026. Same announcement that included Haberman & Koeppe as retiring.
