I don't want to see a new CEO. I'm ready to watch Verizon crumble...let's see how low Hans can make the stock go...can $29 be too far away?
Let’s get Kendall Roy.
Silliman is a lawyer and part of the Hans's problem and Ronan did jack nothing for the company other than look pretty for the camera. We need real telecom people like Stratton.
I would love Stratton or Ronan to make a comeback. The likely scenario is Silliman as he is getting a taste for all the various VGS groups.
I remember a day when this company didn't get involved with any worldly or social justice issues....it kept its head down and focused on its business...this is what made Verizon a very rich and profitable company...focusing on its business.
There is not a week that goes by that this company doesn't send out an email with worldly and social justice issues that have ZERO to do with its business.
One example is choosing a side in a war...( however we all feel about it ) the right response for a top 20 Fortune 500 company is to wish for peace.... not alienating an entire nation.
We are in the business of communications, not world policies and social justice issues ...We are in the business of making money period....we take that money from all sides period ... We should only be focused on that ....your paycheck at the end of the week will reflect these smart decisions and your family and investors will thank you as well.
On a day when long-term Verizon employees were losing their jobs, careers, and livelihoods the CEO responsible for their demise only post on social media that day was a remembrance of a career criminal dr-g addict with 19 arrests and 8 different jail terms, and that in fact had never even worked at Verizon.
YES, it's sarcasm....I wish I could post other words for this absolute mo--n clown.

Question, is this sarcasm?? If not sarcasm, then vehemently disagree!!!
Ok, we all agree Hans Vestberg has done absolutely nothing for Verizon as a communication company. But haven't we all gained from his leadership in diversity, equity, and inclusion? His knowledge of the nonbinary gender-fluid LGBTQ first-generation immigrants seeking asylum? His global expertise of the wars around the world especially in Ukraine which he has chosen a side for us all to support? His domestic social justice issues here in America...he hasn't missed one!
Yes, Verizon as a communication company is tanking under his leadership. But we Americans have gained from his foreign knowledge on how nations should behave in the world.
Stratton was clowning just before announcing call center closures but didn’t know he was broadcasting live. He’s not the guy.
Warren Buffet who sold all of his VZ stock said he would buy back in even if they just hired Bozo The Clown as the CEO.
John Stratton. The gentlemen new this business and he knew what his company and hard-working employees could & would do for him and each other. Mr. Stratton was in the trenches, and he inspired people to work hard and WIN. "Lowest of the low, Lowell", & the board at that time did Mr. Stratton SERIOUSLY wrong when they brought the "Swedish Chef" into Verizon. Hans Vestburg needs to be sent back to Europe and maybe finally face the wrong that he did at Ericsson because that guy cannot run a temperature let alone a major American telecommunications service provider. Send Hans packing and he is welcome to take Scampath with him. We need John Stratton or Verizon will be broken apart or absorbed into something else if this current decline is permitted to continue.
john Legere can't hurt. Made T-Mobile relevant
Agree John Stratton
Actually, I just saw out of the corner of my eye the person who really should be hired for this job, the "Real Telephone Man", John Stratton.
Be serious, if anyone really knows this business and with as much experience with competitors as John Legere, there is only one and that is John Stratton.
Stratton is the only one who can fix this mess, and he does have experience cleaning up broken telecoms.
CEO Qualifications: Woke = check/minus. DEI = check/minus. Craft/union = check/minus.
Carolina Dybeck Happe (gender = check/+, age = check/+) is a Swedish business executive serving as the Chief Financial Officer of General Electric since March 2020. She is the first outsider and non-American to be appointed CFO of the company, a job that has been described as one of the toughest CFO jobs in corporate America.
Angie Kline.
Ironically, Carolina Dybeck Happe, GE's CFO, an excellent corporate executive, but is of Swedish decent.
It should be me. I’ll use a management line if you want to change something then do something different. Doing the same will give you the same results. Let’s start with if you want to beat T mobile then you have to have lower prices than t mobile. People don’t care about my network is better money talks. The wire line side same thing why charge $10 for a STB if you want people to keep video give them a reason to get it not nickel and dime them with fees. Employees I’d get rid of most upper management there is no need for half the positions they overlap. If someone has 2000 people beneath them why not make it 4000 it’s not like they are seeing and talking to them anyway. I can go on but I’m not there is a lot to change.
Does Verizon need a better CFO? Or is this candidate better suited as a Verizon CEO == Carolina Dybeck Happe, departing GE CFO, due to GE breaking into three (3) separate companies?
Wrong. Most important free cash flow. Selling more wireless plans = gain back the market share? The $30/line is not competitive as needing a reduction to $24/line with no conditions.
Most important, reducing the corporate debt but difficult due to the exponential increase to the corporate prime interest rates. All this as a result of inflation and the free money spent by the current administration, White House Oval office.
Should ask questions to Elon Musk what to do next? What are the remaining core competencies, if any? Or is it just simply survival to pay the quarterly dividend??? Therefore, sell assets, core versus non-core assets? Any significant strategic partner(s)?
Bottom line, reducing personnel, decreasing employees benefits, remanding salary reductions, and pleading with both the labour/craft unions for concessions?
There is no one left in the house who can do it.

Does the former T-Mobile CEO have an executed, no compete and non-disclosure agreement?
Not the current, internal, heir apparent, S_, from within the rank and file, having no CEO experience. What make this individual the correct candidate?? This heir apparent recently launched the myPlan offerings.
John Legere
