Touch bases with your boss's boss is not a good sign. Good luck people

Earnings not met = layoffs. You can count on it. There will be layoffs by EOY, if for no other reason to be positioned for reduced budgets next year.

Wouldn’t be surprised. The way things went the second quarter particularly in Consumer, things are bad. Wall St expected 160k adds, but VZ produced 12k. VCG lost 200k and VBG added 200K, but cost went way up. Look at the new travel policy. EVP/SVP approval required. No one is traveling if you are not carrying a quota. BJN meetings will still be a thing. 5G BI and Home adoption rate is not fast enough. And it is inconsistent. We continue to play margin games while TMo is giving everything away eating market share. I and we need to stop spending. It will be a rough Q3 and Q1. Resume and PPT check!

Transparency is a wonderful thing. Step up Sr. Managers and give us the details.

So can't tell what it was about but noticed my director had 5 back to back 15 minutes with their Sr. Managers today. They have 6 Sr managers. Another director had 30 minute back to backs with all but one of theirs. Anybody a Sr. Manager here haha? This is looking more and more truthful.

Half my team and management have left the rest are still looking. If you stick around maybe you'll get a promotion to a higher rung on the sinking titanic and they'll brag the next town hall about how many people they have promoted.

Lol how is it "not likely". We are in a hiring freeze, travel on lockdown, we just had a horrible quarter. We've had major executive turnover. We have every layoff red flag in the book.
