@aa Nope! Not gone. Just had two reports removed from under him to Dan's new hire- his paypal buddy. Dan will probably keep them all. The elites stick together!

I wonder if any of Russo's direct reports got impacted.
Looks like the leadership disruptions within GN&T are minimal, unlike VBG, VCG

@a3 For sure? I havent seen the typical 'retirement' email from Russo.

We need a thread that just lists the impacts as they become known.

Malady has an in-depth understanding of the VZ network - his knowledge will be missed

Given today's email, I have to assume Shankar is gone. I'm sure Stacy is gone too.

@a4 , what a shame. Now he really won’t be able to hire a tailor to help him with his ill-fitting clothes!

@a7 This was inevitable. With no more local markets, why did they need all those presidents and regional teams? does anyone know if remote workers are those away from BR are more likely to be affected?

@a4 I guess now that the cuts are leaked to the media, they have no reason to wait till Nov 20.

Calls that are letting the leaders go? Or calls to the leaders to let their direct reports go?
