Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Shaking things up and tearing down old fortresses

Actually, Hans is doing what people have been talking about doing since the beginning, creating one single Verizon. One single culture and a couple of business units. People and execs have been talking this smack for years but Hans and Matt Ellis and Ronan are actually doing it. Ellis was also who made the Vodafone buyout actually happen. So let's wait and see, these guys are definitely shaking things up and tearing down old fortresses. Getting caught in the fallout s---s for sure, especially when the guilty got away with lots of gold, but people have been talking about this for years, and just talking, and talking. And thank G-D Hans is not Lowell nor anything like him!

Found this post on another thread and I have to say that I agree with @W7MK5b7-1ssk to a degree. We all know that Hans and his team certainly didn’t hesitate to make changes, and I don't know if that will prove to be beneficial in the future, but at what expense were those changes made? They were made at the expense of thousands of jobs and people’s lives were heavily impacted, their families. I can’t help but think that if these changes were needed to be done, they could have made them less painful or at least with some heads-up to the workers.

All I needed to know was that these mo--ns were involved with the Vodafone deal. That;s still a cluster f*ck for Verizon. Rome is burning. Time to go.

I dropped almost all my VZ stock in my 401K now that it's over 58... I figure it's only a matter of time before the corruption from Ericsson comes to light and taints VZ. There's an active investigation, but nobody has been indicted yet, and the fines to Ericsson have not been levied.

Hans belongs in jail; not running a company. Speaks volumes about the character of the board. Credo my hiney..

Hans may not be Lowell, but he has to answer to the same board of directors.

He's a hatchet man, without an original thought in his head. He's at Verizon to lower headcount. That's all.

I dunno folks. After 3 'all-hands', Verizon 2.0 seems more like "All HANS"! All EN-TOO-zeeazum but that's all. Just like "Big hat, no cattle" or "all talk no walk". And what is with all of the Oath oral copulation of late? Are they ever going to start earing some ROIC or will they remain the artistic special child s---ing capital?

Actually, I think that Hans is the anti-Lowell brought in to clean up all of Lowell's messes.

This is why Lowell was moved into BoD, to pave the way for Hans to do his thing. Hans, if you're reading this, do us all a favor and give the boot to the entourage of direct reports surrounding these 3rd Reich exec's whom have done nothing but protect their buddies at the expense of their teams...while cracking jokes about handing out pink slips!

These plans have been in the works for quite some time and I'm sure Lowell was in the thick of it. Wireless execs have been moving over to learn wireline for years and now they are in takeover mode of the rest of the business. Time will tell if this will work out. Thankfully, I will be able to just observe as a shareholder while I move on to another career.
