We going broke. Leadership is incompetent and worries abkut metrics and politcal correctness too much. Knee jerk policies are getting ridicoulous as well. They are running things to the ground.

McKinsey swindlers arrive at the Basking Ridge office an CEO who spends lavishly on frivolous ideas at the expense of employees and shareholders. Posing as experts, they offer to supply him with magnificent network that has no connectivity to those... — read more 

Never assume that you don't have to prepare for being unemployed. And yet, maybe there are still people who think that their positions are safe? I know from experience that there are always such people, who later regret ever thinking that their job... — read more 

Starting to feel a lot like 2008 with this dawg that can’t hunt.

Be on the lookout for a few things getting removed from or slowly phased out of workload in the next few weeks. You’re not part of long term plans leader finding any reason to provide official coaching. Needed for ratings leader being distant... — read more 

Not gonna happen. You have NO IDEA what you're talking about. A stock like Verizon will only fall so far because then the dividend yield becomes attractive and people pile back into it.

Keep up the great work Hans! We should be around $20.00 by end of the year.

Do we have any idea when the culling will continue?

Looking at Verizon’s cash flows, I honestly don’t think they can sustain their fat dividend much longer. Servicing the $140B in debt (I mean what genius thought levering up to that degree was smart) is going to cost a LOT more as bonds roll over at... — read more 

I am trying to get a better offer and all I have been offered so far are only slightly higher salaries. On the other hand, here I read about those who doubled their salaries after they left here, and some even got more than that. It sounds too... — read more 

Hearing that a bunch of engineering directors, EDs, and VPs headed to Boston for a pow-wow. No travel or expense restrictions for those band 5s and above. Enjoy your lobster while the rest of us do the real work.

Purely out of curiosity, I am interested in what you think about how the company could deliver significant growth?

Hans, your stay at Verizon is both unwelcome and undignified. You have now damaged your second corporation, impacting thousands of lives on two different sides of the world. Maybe you should consider permanent, corporate retirement. You must have... — read more 

If it's the last thing we ever do!

We were number one for years. Now we're not, besides cutting employees, what else can we do to get back to number one? I don't think Hans is capable of getting us back to number one.

How many headcount do we need to reduce to be competitive? I say 30K, but it could be more. I don't see Hans offering any incentives to leave. Will these reductions be layoffs? The whole telecom industry is reeling now, layoffs everywhere we look... — read more 

Want to know why Verizon Stock is in the tank.. gutter...? Well our director ask everyone to put their preferred pronoun in their email signature. I spoke up and said, I don't have a preferred pronoun. I wish to be called "Monsieur Smith" as I am... — read more

Here are the facts: Key staff leaving the company especially in GNT, at the leadership level, going to competitors and suppliers. Dir and ED rotations happening with the assumption that a new person in an old job provides growth (wrong!) HR span and... — read more 

I think people who have some expectations from this company are fooling themselves, because the leadership only manages the decline. Do they have any plans for future growth? I wouldn't say that they have any concrete plans, nor that they have a... — read more 

The company is on a nose dive, but no worries we can now as of this week have our preferred pronoun on our badge. Yay! 🙄

Another 3/4 point interest rate hike today. I will dread looking at the next lump sum amount after the latest hike is reflected. Probably down 250k from height of 0% rates a couple of years ago. YIKES!

The company is tanking cause everyone is relaxing and could care less about the company cause there working from home. This never happened when people were in the office. Cancel work from home and bring everyone back to the office , the way it... — read more 

I absolutely do not agree with any decision of this leadership. Have you ever worked in a company with worse leadership? In fact, they should not even be called "leaders", because they are not.

What happens to tier 2 tech support?

Can you believe it? Where is Hans? What's next, the twenties? This is really making me hate my life. I have lost big time in my 401K. How about you?

So now we have yet another cellular company (Total by Verizon). Verizon Wireless, Tracfone, Visible and now Total? The wasteful ideas being implemented just continue on and on.

Hans did it again today. 5G may be 5 buck stock soon.

Definitely nothing to laugh about

Nothing concrete at this point, I just have that uneasy feeling that our results are not going to measure up. Hans and his knuckledraggers keep using the same playbook and failing over and over again. Not sure what it will take to get Hans head... — read more
