Yup huge waste. Too bad the West Area President who created it still has a job. They assigned him to a "special project". It seems like that's where they send all the leadership that can't hack it instead of firing them.
The good 'ol boys (and sometimes girls) network is alive and well at Verizon. They just keep shuffling around the same tired old leadership like musical chairs. What a joke. And when they bring someone from the outside they get some loser like Tyson Chicken boy or J Crew T Shirt guy. I guess that is the best a old, bloated telecom can do nowadays.
I am just waiting for this colossal house of cards to come crashing down. I give Verizon 3 years tops before it gets crushed by debt, bought out or sold off.
