Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Chief Data Officer Contract Not Renewed

She's gone as of the end of the year. Verizon has decided that no one inside Verizon has any value or good ideas, and it continues to backfire from the CEO and all the way down. She was an external hire and was in over her head.

They've sidelined me, and I'm mostly accused of having all of the good ideas and being right. Instead, they're going with someone taking us all the way to total failure and embarrassment.

Now, I'm not at the exec level, but it's the same thing - external candidate that's made every wrong decision possible and was put in charge of finding solutions she's incapable of finding. For a variety of reasons, I can't quit. Unfortunately, I can't sit idly by. I'll either be following this post up with a promotion or new excitement or my firing announcement.

When did ignorant or fake caring replace competence and good ideas? I never horded the good ideas; I shared them freely. And yet, they'd rather recreate the titanic.

Data shows that Verizon is going down. Don’t need another Chief BS Officer to analyze that. Good riddance. Perhaps now, with the money saved, a few employees who actually produce value can be retained.

OP what happened. Fired or promoted?

Also - The comment on more execs leaving appears to be spot on.

Duplicate functions abound with Verizon 2.0. Did anyone expect that that would last? This was not the only external hire that did not last past a few years - one lasted 2 months before they quit. Expected more of the execs to start 'leaving' one they figure out 2 people are doing the job of one.

Creating a parallel peer organization outside of GTS was a d-mb, d-mb move. They ended up hiring a whole organization to support it, many of whom overlapped existing GTS functions. Total waste of $$ that now has to be undone. All to appease the GAP and give her her own little feifdom. Get GTS cannot start to fix the basic things like making the POS and ACSS systems work.

“Verizon has decided that no one inside Verizon has any value or good ideas”
I believe that has been the unwritten rule since the founding of Verizon.

AI&D was a collosal failure. They are going to get riffed into the stone age and the scraps sent to the new VGS group.
