Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Sam is a MAN. He/Him

The spreadsheets are closed, the board is pleased,
But here on the stage, I’m finally at ease.
Violets are blue, and the profits are climbing,
But nothing beats Sam and our perfect timing.

​Forget Hans and the pings on my phone,
In this company, you’re the best I’ve known.
The podium is high, but I’m leaning in low—
For the only hug that makes your CEO glow.

Sam is useless and was in the right place at the right time. Christy (who I actually liked and thought was genuine) high tailed it out of VZ because she saw what a joke we were. Sam was a recent external from Amex and got the top job. I'm sure there were dozens of other qualified people on staff that could do a better job with less post its. I hope Dan cuts her next.

So in other words, Love the company…or else!

What has the employer done to make itself lovable to the employees?

Well said. MIA while many got laid off, and on hr kicoff call - she gathered her team and they were all about how great and happy they and everyone is -

If the company had come to the 25+ years employees before RIFing them guarantee VZ would have had a better outcome. Now everyone is bitter and personally after 30 years I no longer praise the company to friends or family.

Companies are successful when they care about their customers and employees. Especially their customers.

To umdetstand how so many C-level suites operate, one need only read The Emperor's New Clothes.

Reject Barbie believes in Making Verizon Great Again. She stresses on alternate facts and lives according to them. Uses cheaper Post It notepad that she buys with her own hard earned money. Stop complaining.

@OP Same Executive who lead DEI...clueless

Sam represents everything bad about Verizon. leaders rule through cronyism.

She is without a doubt the most tone deaf, hypocritical, and disliked CHRO I have ever seen in my 30 years of experience.
