I’ve got 17 years in at this company - long enough to watch the soul slowly drain out of the place. It used to be an enjoyable workplace. Now I’m just sticking it out for retirement. The culture’s completely changed. I genuinely feel bad for the new hires. At least I got to experience the good years - they only know the Verizon of today.

The bottom line is that blackrock put foreigners on the board and as executives in charge to make the company more globalist and less American. Clearly, NO ONE in senior management really cares about the stock price, which is why it is what it is. There is no culture anymore, as it was slowly whittled away for the past 10 years. Sampath has been nothing but a cancer to the company, as most consultants usually are.
@tw Amen to that
Lol
It sounds like all of you need to be in the office a bit more! I’ll send an announcement about it later this week and let you know how the Pulse survey shows that in office is critical to happiness. Thank me later!! xoxoxo
He-l if you were here to witness Verizon update their original logo, then declare Verizon 2.0, you were here to see enough lost that it’s still a punch in the gut.
If you started back in the MCI days those people are crying in a corner. God bless ‘em.
On another note if you have only been here for 17 years. You have never seen the good years either.
You’re right—this isn’t evolution, it’s erosion. Culture can’t survive when every decision is dictated by stock price and short-term optics. The new hires won’t stick around long enough to realize what they missed.
