VZ leadership on display - VZ Indy car crashes (driver error) and is out of the race in DC
The driver is ok. Of course, the VZ car crash causes another car to crash. Everything VZ (leadership) touches turns to c.r.a.p.. The VZ car was near the end of the pack when it ran into the wall (unforced error). Video of the crash in the... — read more

Verizon connect
I left Verizon about two months ago on my own terms, and looking back, I’m very happy with my decision. At the same time, it’s difficult to watch former colleagues being laid off, terminated, or feeling mistreated within the company. Years ago, I... — read more

Same old Verizon
Verizon sales and support representatives often keep customers on expensive plans against their requests because company commission structures and performance metrics heavily incentivize high-tier plan retention and upsells.
Management pushed out the people who could actually deliver results
Now we have a noticeable deterioration in morale, performance, and commitment. I wonder why...
Heading into this year, I think the bigger picture is becoming pretty clear.
The Board of Directors — Dan’s bosses — wants one thing above everything else: stronger cash flow and a much leaner Verizon. And there are really only two ways to accomplish that at scale: increase revenue and aggressively reduce costs. That’s where... — read more
