“Nine women cannot have a baby in 1 month...some things are just not possible.“ - @2fpe
What if they’re all eight months pregnant?
mvz...the lack of vision in IT is staggering. I was on a call two days ago where they are trying to slam a major project in by the end of the year because some exec is convinced they will save a ton of money. It is going to be a huge failure but no one will say it. Vision needs to be realistic and doable. No one is willing to tell these clowns at the top it won’t work and here is why. Nine women cannot have a baby in 1 month...some things are just not possible. The sad thing is it will fail (once again) and they will find someone to blame. In typical VZ fashion no one will be fired for it because they will rename the project so you can no longer smell the stench associated to such a huge failure. If this company wants to do true cost savings in IT, they would have asked the SMEs instead of approving a majority of them for the VSP. The brain drain is real and will be amplified after Friday.
@ZJYQUAi-mvz I am amazed at how a percentage of the employees are overworked while another set just wiles away their time with no consequences - they are protected by teh management for whatever reason
Adding to -mvz comments. After the rebadging of approx 1500 IT employees (including India), nobody trusts the current IT Leadership team. Morale is low although most IT employees are putting on a brave face to keep their job in 2020. Trust can be rebuilt when the current IT Leadership team is purged.

As someone who spent many successful years in IT at Verizon, I would no longer recommend. There is no vision and leadership is entirely focused on saving their own a**. There is not appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the hands-on workers. Executives are too hands off and do not understand what they are supposed to be managing, leading to poor decisions and excessive pressure to deliver on unrealistic commitments.
If you like constant RIFs and rebadging.
As long as AD has any influence on IT it will be a hot mess. The guy is so wrapped up in making everything self service that the minions working under him as direct reports are a scared mass of yes men/women not willing to call him out on his buffoonery.
No.
