Hans and Sampath are the dynamic duo of shareholder wealth destruction
Hans and Sampath have made some history by landing the lowest closing VZ stock price in more than 10 years. There really needs to be a clawback on the bonuses of these two wealth destroyers.

Entire C-suite Gone or In New Roles
Diego's gone too. The only people still in their original positions are Hans and his pick Rima. Somehow up to speed seemed to omit the real announcement. I'm guessing it's the end of the line for them too. And myplan is just going to cost more. ... — read more
Thanks for Up to Speed... Diego left just in time!
I'm wondering if Diego fought against such a numbskull new plan and was forced out. What a way to confuse a customer who just wants a cheap wireless plan. Many more execs will soon be gone, and I hope one will have the first name of Hans.
May 24th… so long OP&OO?
Heard big changes are coming so share what you’ve heard?
Why would anyone buy Verizon and not Visible?
If there are no perks, Verizon is just 3x more expensive Visible. Why would anyone do that? There was a deliberate reason why other perks were added i.e. T-Mo Netflix deal and so on. Now, VZ plans will be more expensive and much less value than... — read more

Vz needs to keep the existing wireless plans while rolling out the new two (2) plans. Let the customers who they provide services to pick what they need. Now is not the time to upset customers!
