Value going back to TracFone
Here is how ridiculous Verizon Value is. Tanya and her cronies spent the last 2 years undoing everything that made TracFone a success. Once she was bounced out the powers that be now are reverting back to how everything was at Trac. Millions of... — read more

Leslie is in the front and center
Leslie is in the front and center. Sam is out .. she is the new face of leadership.. I told you guys.. she is not going anywhere.
Kyle Malady
My prediction is once Kyle Malady retires, you will see consolidation back to VZ 1.0 and then you will see mass reductions in overlaps across two orgs back to one. I could be wrong but that’s where I believe this is headed / kind reason Sampath... — read more
VIVEK (PART II): Can you hear me now??? RESIGN!!! Simply Disgraceful!!!
Vivek's purview to say with confidence that the most important applications at Verizon outside of network operations. POS, point-of-sale, intakes some 70+% of ALL of Verizon’s revenue. ACSS is a superset of that software. This software is utter... — read more

Can VZ start a Loyalty Program for employees?
As in, don't fire the people who are doing their jobs well. VZ has record profits, but it makes bad decisions at the top creating lots of debt.
Verizon Loyalty Program - Now that's an Oxymoron
You have already branded yourself Verizon - sleazy, money grubbing sociopaths. This is regarding every person involved in firing people who did deserve it. Just following orders is NOT an excuse. Find another job instead of enabling grifters.
Self Promotion Week
This week must be post self-indulgent posts on LinkedIn on how great I am as a leader week. Honestly, it’s so cheesy and desperate and why would you want to tell your competition what your doing. I would ban employees from these self-indulgent... — read more

VCG Ops
Anyone know the plan for VCG Ops? Based on some reorg emails it seems like retail and CS OPS have been officially combined under the same umbrella creating even more redundencies or were taking a second stab at OPOO

Post Shankar GTS
Shankar was the oxygen that all GTS mafia was breathing. I am wondering how’s the situation there now.. Is the promotion and hiring still based on favoritism? How about layoffs? Probably still saving friends and family over talent.
Another week, another chance for more cuts
Small, big, who even cares anymore? Welcome to the joys of being employed at Verizon!

I doubt Verizon stock goes to $75
Dan will never get stock price to $75. Verizon is $175 billion in debt, paying $8-$9 billion per quarter in interest payments. Not only that, technology is moving fast, which means the next telco displacing newcomer is waiting on the wings. Verizon... — read more
