Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

I would also add all of Ja-ys friends and family he broughtvsome real garbage. “Raja-Karthik-Igor” amd he elevated the wrong people, based on how much the would jiss his a-s “sayee veing the nunber 1 with Vani-adapa” and Deloachy!

0 skills or talent in all the names mentioned here.

“Vani-adapa” and Deloachy! Worst Ive seen in a long time. Comoletely clueless on every aspect.

This is the VZ Executive mentality and has been since forming VZ. Almost all acquisitions have failed and been divested at a loss. VZ has acquired companies where there is zero business sense in that arena. As soon as the acquisition is complete, VZ rids themselves of all that know how the acquired business should be run and each time attempts to force the acquisition into the VZ mold. The executives are not smart enough to realize that you cannot force every company into one mold. When new hires within our group attended the two day training to better acquaint themselves with VZ, I informed them to pay close attention to the acquisitions and other pricing winners. After the session, come and see me and I will tell you the truth and how everything they have pounded into your head during the last two days is a lie.
I remember attending a four day training session when VZ decided to roll out new pricing. Just before the new pricing rolled out, I contacted HQ and asked who came up with this garbage? I was working in the NE Area at the time and tried to explain how this great pricing will result in $6 per business customer dilution. No, no, you are looking at this all wrong. Not sure how, because we had a decrease of about $6 per business customer. Back to the training session where another colleague also attended. We had to play some stupid game where they divided the group into 5 per sub group. The new pricing had rolled out, we had witnessed the results. We provided answers based on actual facts and came in last place among the groups. Just like everything else, everything VZ does is great and an employee should wear blinders and follow along. The place has been a joke for many, many years and will continue down the tubes. Knowledge is not valued, hard work is not valued, ideas are not valued, and when you attain the 20- year mark of working at VZ, the big X goes on your back. Keep head down, yes, may I have another.
The TracFone acquisition $300 per subscriber that is not on contract. Based on my M&A days, this is a little high for a post paid subscriber.

Value ended the company's competitive advantage and the stock price. The fake 5G faux pas ended the company's fiber competitive advantages. Capex got capped to low when it needed to be spent on the Network, but instead bought and invested heavily in things that had no future. Total market misread by a questionable marketing leadership team.

"Those who invested in Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) five years ago are up 6.6%"

This gives insight as why TracFone was beating VZW when they attempted to take on the Prepaid sector. After working with there VZW/Visible "leaders" you can see why they failed. Don't get me wrong TF had some fat that should have been trimmed, but looking at the VZW/Visible side, they have so much fat they are basically obese. They will never pass up the chance to ruin a great opportunity. The blind leading the blind. I feel sorry for the TracFone folks that are still there, outnumbered and are now surrounded with this incompetent drone group think culture, looking around saying how are there so many useless do nothing waste of space who only spin bulls$%t people still here..... All while being told to smile and enjoy this great culture.

All this chaos was initiated all he knows to do is to su-k up. After all his role was a gift to him

There are lots of pretenders out there, but don't be fooled -he Verizon Value internal team will keep falling short, and once again, Verizon as a company, along with the Postpaid division, will have to cope with the consequences of actions taken by underqualified individuals. Maybe if they spent less time on Linkedin and more time actually evaluating ideas and truly understanding their customer base is not the folks sitting around on Linkedin working a traditional 9-5. They will surely be the reason for Return to office.

Try replacing the so-called IT “leaders” in Miami, and you’ll see improvements. Take the initiative and get rid of those dinosaurs.

Value org…WORST ever! Period.

The entire department/channel is a joke. Not sure if this will go down as Verizon's worst investment, or maybe Bluejeans? AOL? YAHOO? Why do they continue to buy companies and make them even worse than they were to begin with. This will end in another round of Rif's and written off as another bad investment

“Vani-adapa”is worst than Deloachy!

Its an IT leadership problem. They all are useless

It's not a Visible vs Tracfone problem - those people are all middle management they make no real decisions.

It's the lifelong postpaid execs like the CEO and her postpaid cronies trying to run the prepaid business like postpaid. And by the way how has Verizon been doing in the postpaid space the last 5 years? Hint - the stock price tells you not good at all.

They couldn't even get postpaid right, but came in to the prepaid space with a "the adults are now in charge" attitude. Look where they are now - 13.5M customers and dropping.

It's sad because there are bright people in our org from both Tracfone AND Visible. But the top-down management has given us no strategy and direction - well except the ones given by the management consulting firms for millions.

Hey at least Visible and Verizon teams can put together real nice looking decks to show how bad things are.....

Tracfone was purchased by Verizon with 26M customers. Once Verizon steps in and starts doing things their way we start bleeding customers. We are now at 15M customers due to the Verizon way and inept Visible leaders. This will go down in history as the largest failure for Verizon and their biggest miss-managed acquisition to date. The Visible kids are nice (some of them), they just are not ready for the big leagues. This is why Value is a failed operation, with failed leadership, being led by a bunch of directors which were only put in place because of their low salaries and not the "value" pun intended they bring to Value. Just take a look around. Its a dumpster fire. A complete mess. Why do you think they are calling us for help now hahahahaha. Oh karma, sweet sweet karma.

I would tell them to go pound sand, that's putting it nicely....

Sorry..... But NO!! Let's not try and rewrite history, all of the TracFone Directors/As Directors have been pushed out of Value at this point. And the only ones left are all the "not ready for primetime" Visible leaders at the SR Director/Director/As Director level... They pushed out the TracFone team that knew what to do and are now calling these same people for help as they cannot do anything other than spin the cr-p show, and even that is wearing thin. It would be funny, if it did not show the arrogance and stupidity in current Value leadership. Everyone in Visible could talk a big game about what needed to be done, but not one of them has been able to execute.......All they can do is make pretty presentations. What a Joke!

As for the Visible leader that was let go.... She was the biggest joke... Her leadership was "Lets lets focus only on the Visible brand with less then 1M customers and let the 18M TracFone brands bleed out", if that was delivering results, then you must be a Visible employee, who does not know what which end is up.

Visible was a failed brand with a failed team that is now failing at much larger level, just look at them reaching out, trying to find someone to do their work,, since none of them can bothered to learn from TracFone on how to execute.

TracFone was eating Visible's lunch for years, and the proof is in current state of the organization.

Visibles leader was let go b/c they weren't the yes-man the powers that be wanted.

It will become a cog in the machine; no longer caring about customers and the experience and used to pump out growth numbers like a puppy mill mom.

Visible was the growing brand and they cut the top person delivering results to feed some crumbs to leaders of the failing brands.
