Ki-l the Credo HowTo (A 24-Hour Masterclass in Betrayal)

Real leaders don’t smile while destroying lives. Real leaders don’t look their employees in the eye and lie about the EMEA strategy for six months.
You’ve spent half a year dodging responsibility and expecting us to work "business as usual" while you plotted this behind our backs. You threw the Credo and its principles in the trash the moment they became inconvenient. Do you actually think we’re stupid? These aren't just "headcounts"—these are families, mortgages, and lives at stake.
The hypocrisy is breathtaking: You announce a reorganization on Wednesday, and by Thursday, you have the nerve to tell us you’re "confident we’ll continue to give our all."
The trust is dead. You’ve broken it beyond repair. You can't execute people one day and demand their passion the next. You should be ashamed of your cowardice.
Make no mistake: it is now Us vs. You.
We were the lifeblood of this company. We are the ones who built what you are currently dismantling. You celebrated us yesterday only to betray us today. You have no honor, no backbone, no strategy, and—clearly—no soul. You aren't leaders; you’re just pathetic puppets.
Despite your total lack of integrity, we have a professional conscience. We will continue to deliver our best for our clients and our colleagues—not for you, but because our ethics are something you could never understand.


Things are spiraling

The cuts have created major disruptions that no one seems interested in fixing. Entire teams are crippled, many managers can't get up to speed (unsurprisingly), and critical gaps in roles and workload go completely unaddressed. Was there ever a real reorganization plan? Pleasing the markets was never a sustainable long-term strategy.


Dan, Can You Hear Me Now?

Another round of layoffs at Verizon is again being presented as part of the company’s transformation. Employees have heard this language before. Each cycle promises a reset and a stronger future for the business.

At the same time former CEO Hans Vestberg has moved into an advisory role at Consello. Like many executives before him he has transitioned from leading a major telecom operator into a position where his relationships and experience in the industry become the product.

For employees watching these cycles repeat the contrast is hard to miss. Workers face uncertainty and job losses while leadership often moves on to new opportunities within the same industry ecosystem.

Telecom is entering one of the largest investment periods in decades. Artificial intelligence data demand and digital infrastructure are reshaping the industry. The real question is whether Verizon is positioning itself to lead that next phase or simply managing costs while others shape the future.

Employees have heard the transformation message many times.

At some point the question becomes simple.

Dan, can you hear them now.


Stock Together - Laid off employees

Anyone else in New Jersey that was on payroll until Feb 20 still waiting for their Stock Together payouts? I know Verizon monitors this space too, so what are you clowns doing? Bad enough you kicked everyone to the curb, but now our money is in limbo. Current employees got their payouts on 3/10, so where is our money!


Not waiting on layoffs anymore

It is obvious layoffs are going to be massive. Maybe they will not happen all at once, but they are coming. I am done waiting. After 15 years here, I sent out my first applications yesterday and will keep doing it every day. It breaks my heart because I do like my job, but I will be damned if I just sit around waiting like sheep for sla-ghter.

Over hiring a Contributor to Layoffs

As a former CDW engineer my observation was that the number of engineers far exceeded the amount of available projects. While I worked with some smart engineers, a majority did not have skills comparable to their pay grade. Too many "that's not my niche" excuses for 6 figure salaries IMO.

The layoffs that are happening now is a forced "personnel correction" due to leadership not understanding the needs of the business.

Verizon EMEA VBG/GN&T dumpster fire

Even before this week's annoucement, I could tell this organization was one of the most poorly structured "too many chefs" places I will ever worked at. Now we're in a position where Security Sales doesn't know what to sell or if there will be anyone around to deliver, and you have band 5s in the US still saying "EMEA is BAU" and that we still need to find ways to "continue as normal and building the best case for the value of our PS cyber work". so in other words sell / deliver while you can and when it's time we will RIF you all to purgatory and get hcltech to deliver whats left. how the f--k am I expected to work thinking this?
