Under-performers and people that always ask questions just to ask questions on all hands calls. The people not showing up in the office are on the list we turned in late September.
First place to start… Any VP to Director with no college degree and only experience is working retail in a Verizon retail store!
Whosever nose/lips are the brownest.
The closer to the king or customer that you are the safer you are. The easier it is for someone to figure your position's value to the company is important too. Right now, this appears to be a well-needed 'sea change' in management and course. Hans and Sampath have made an absolute mess of things since 2018. They have not gotten on single thing right, while the greatest threat to our Republic happened on their watch, right under their noses, in the heart of their home footprint. This is why Hans is gone and Sampath will be leaving soon.
I think this time the cuts are gonna be massive and in such cuts SVPs are selected to go with the entire team. Shankar has several SVPs that were either friendship hire or DEI candidates. Time to trim bloated GTS.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
It is usually those that work in roles where work is being eliminated or taking a different direction, or people are not performing, or you fight your bosses on everything. When you show your value, usually those are never touched. There have been times when your boss is just not a good boss and they keep those who they think can deliver and then they don't. We are simply numbers at the end of the day and many times its not your boss who picked you but someone higher up that decides to do major deep cuts that can even impact your boss directly and they are let go as well. Just two years ago an entire org from SVP down was eliminated.
My long term experience at Verizon first look at Executive MBOs. They are focused on reducing their soecific budgets so they get a spotwhen music stops. It’s a very self centric culture. Then it trickles down…while 1st and 2nd level Mgmt is stuck to do the working remaining.
Verizon is Director level heavy… many without direct reports.
Up to CEO to eliminate Director/AVP overhead.
