He ran sprint / Ericcson to the ground and did the same with Verizon and now 13k employees paid the price.
How ironic , files are about to be released and Hans steps down. He definitely went to island.

Seidenberg - f'd up and invited Vodaphone in to get wireless off the ground for a 50 percent cut. A mistake we would later pay 130B for.
McAdams - epic sc--wups on so many levels. AOL/Yahoo/Go90/Fleetmatics/etc Ki-led the FIOS buildout. The real reason we are up Shanks creek now.
Vestburg - Tried but to much focus on VZ 2.0 cr-p and diversity. Let VSDI takeover too much sh-t. Bluejeans and slow C-band rollout.
Dan - Senior board member but somehow he is different?
VZ is a history of sc--wups
The day Hans started was another immediate 10k RIFed...
Ohhh that makes sense why they had an emergency board meeting over the weekend and voted him out immediately.... Oh I'm getting the popcorn ready
And surely he got a nice little package to go away. While 13k employees lost their livelihood.
Hans could have turned it around.
The decline started way before Hans.
He actually made it better for employees with things like stock together…
Sure network was first…
Maybe wrong choice
