Verizon doesnt want out of retail, they have to close the stores. I feel like most people at Verizon are oblivious to the reality of just how far big red has fallen. Lousy results are one thing. But the fact that customers dont believe in the company is another.
Verizon is the butt naked emperor but with a really bad body, bad breath and tiny privates...plus declining credit. But all the people in positions to curb this are delusional and honestly have no useful or productive purpose anymore. Until the senior management layer and above is pruned nothing will change.
