Does leadership live in an airplane?
So the new thing for execs to post on LinkedIn is “…..spent time on the ground with xyz team”. Where do these mo--nic sayings come from? Two leaders this week have used this line on LinkedIn. Do they think anyone is impressed or cares? Not as... — read more

N & T
If Verizon actually rebadges this group, that would be a wild decision 😂 How are you going to hand the keys to your network over to a vendor and expect that to end well? Dan or any Verizon executives lurking in here might want to take a few notes... — read more

Give chance to right people to move up

EISP Vs layoffs, I guess they like layoffs better?
Verizon promised Wall St 5 billion $ in savings this year. An EISP would be a pretty painless way to get a bunch of people off the books now rather than pay them four more years of salaries and benefits, as guaranteed per the contract extension. I... — read more
