Hans should have kept just his direct reports and the first layer managers from the bottom and sold off every directors, VPs, and sr managers to infosys at 3 for 1 price and kept all the talented IT employees to the company. That would have saved the knowledge in vz and saved lots of cash on salaries, bonuses and stock options to all these worthless middle managers. This would have had ZERO impact for our customers.
Their job is basically to ask their EA to prepare the power point and BS that to the people with real skills. They do not produce any value to our customers and cost too much to the company.
