This micromanager is harassing our team by asking passive aggressive questions regarding which day in the week are we going to be in the office. Funny thing is the he won’t even talk to us in the office much and stays on his useless calls. Every... — read more

I really want to get done some right things for the customers but I get so frustrated when all these middle managers are too incompetent to take a decision and too power to block your progress. I am mentally quitting unless Dan present some radical... — read more

All Employee Webcast
Will tomorrow's webcast be some type of announcement, or just the usual All Hands kickoff for the year?

Instead of laying off employees, organizations should evaluate management layers more carefully. Many manager-level roles come with high salaries but limited hands-on AI or technical expertise. As companies shift toward AI-driven work, it makes sense... — read more
$5 Billion reduction in OpEx
During the earnings call, Dan & company stated that they will reduce OpEx by $5 Billion in 2026 (including the 2025 layoffs). Let’s say laying off 13,000 employees saves $2 billion a year. Where will the remaining $3 billion come from?
That's Dan!
In record time. Trimmed some fat and driven the stock price where it hasn't been in years. Keep it going
It’s called an Eisp and it’s not probably happening
For all non union people it’s called an Eisp and I doubt they are gonna offer anything more then they usually do yearly to a few .Our numbers are small our salaries even when claimed to be the so high are minor when compared to the management.Even if... — read more

Interesting post from analyst Roger Entner https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rogerentner_telecom-industryinsights-dataanalytics-activity-7424089431696949249-7h7i
AI

What's going on with the last RSU payout?
Got a paystub in the mail today showing one amount and a date of 1/27. Fidelity shows a different amount, looks like it's based on market price. Fidelity says Verizon hasn't released the funds yet.
Is there an EIPP coming?
Is there any truth that an EIPP will be offered to coincide with the management RIF?
Did anyone return your laptop at the office on your last day?
Wondering if I can simply drop it off at Tech stop.
Sampath next
It is all over the news https://www.fierce-network.com/wireless/verizon-ceo-succession-plan-flux-report Can someone confirm?
I guess nobody's fooled by "cost-cutting" alone anymore
It took a while. The financial turmoil is going to reveal a lot about a decade of corporate failure to strategize. I suspect we'll also discover that discarding human capital, treating people as a low-value input, has always been the stupidest... — read more

My biggest regret
I ignored the signs for too long and now my health is paying the price. I wish I had listened to my gut and started job hunting the moment I felt the constant pressure. This job isn't worth your wellbeing.
