Why is Hans still posting on instagram?

Advice for Dan after watching him at Davos
Dan, respectfully, you represent all of us and I was a little embarrassed by your appearance on the HBR panel at Davos. For next time, here are 3 pieces of advice: 1.) Shave. 2.) Sit up. Don't slouch. Posture's a huge non-verbal. 3.) If wearing a... — read more

When will STI % be announced?
Last year, Sam sent out the STI email on Jan 24. I assume Dan is pushing out the announcement though. Will STI payout still be in mid-Feb as it has been every year?
The burnout is complete
The non-stop layoff drama has led to my complete emotional detachment. I don't want to lose my job, but I also can't bring myself to feel the stress I used to. It's not normal, but it's a strange kind of relief.
Hoping for a quiet week
Is there any possibility we get through the next week without bad news? I'm just hoping for a single, normal week without any stressful announcements or layoffs.
Our Board. When will the be accountable.
Our Board are directly culpable for the situation we now find ourselves in. It is how corporate governance works. My question: when will the market, activists etc hold them accountable and force change. It needs to happen.

Union Members Listenup...
With the upcoming renegotiation and the company in a complete mess, now is our time. We need to use this moment to mobilize with full force. Strike if we have to. We have real leverage. Let's use it.
Hiring
I’m a external candidate wondering if they have started rehiring
CCRs
It sounds like call center representatives are gonna get cut. They all jumped on the WFH angle, when asked to RTO, most refused. Now it’s time to go and let automation take over.
Big Winter Storm
Wonder how Verizon will do getting through this big winter storm after all the head count cutting and workforce demoralization?

Lay offs after mergers
With the new frontier acquisition, do you think Verizon will conduct layoffs to be able to support all of the frontier employees?
I’m worried and depressed
Now that the frontier acquisition is complete, will Dan still need Hans as special advisor? I enjoy his run with Hans
