Does anything at Verizon feel more forced than driving the V Team culture. No one at Verizon feels like they are at a team that is special. Can leadership just stop pretending?

Nothing but toxic su-k-ups in leadership position who are afraid to speak truth to power. The company is failed and going down in flames. You can put lipstick on a pig....

Gotta keep those Pulse scores up or someone doesn't get their full STI.
I really like the people I work with and would help any of them with anything they need. Everyone but that one person. You know who they are.
This hasn't existed since we became VERIZON
Bell Atlantic and before was like a family
there are a couple of hotttt bodies in marketing, so it is good when they do their all hands meetings in BR.
I'll pass through a few times.
Other than that, nope, the whole culture is fake
There is none of that. Lots of disinterested folks that are not interested in sharing information, docs, etc. I even get asked “why do you need that?”
V Team day in BR was a bunch of people who rarely show up there, squatting in the lobby eating popcorn and root beer floats for hours
Inflation ki-led the workers
I can't imagine why team camaraderie is in shambles when top leadership talks about well being, but some VPs exhaust their teams to the point of burnout and therapy with no accountability. Have a sec for this 5pm Friday meeting that goes for hours with no notice? And then 15 people drop everything including their own kids events as nobody dares say no or sets boundaries. Nobody dares speak up in pulse surveys either in fear of retaliation and even more work. Go beyond!
True team camaraderie doesn’t need to be forced or given a special day. True team camaraderie happens naturally by having solid leadership, and the camaraderie usually develops organically.
