Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Disappointed by All Hands

Anyone else is disappointed by All- Hands..
I have started feeling like that there is actually no real plan.. it’s all smoke and mirrors..

Dan did not talk about any solid plan and Now Alfanso did not talk any real plan or strategy to execute his grand vision.

They’re both heroically leading MVGA — Make Verizon Great Again, a bold transformation program best understood as controlled demolition with PowerPoint.

The quarterly execution framework (also known as “drivers”) is elegantly simple:

1.  Turn Indian leaders into the official scapegoats of the quarter — check, already in progress.

2.  Make their professional lives so wonderfully miserable that they either resign gracefully or are escorted out — also happening.
  1. Systematically convert VZI into a financial and reputational liability, then recommend shutting it down as a “strategic optimization.” Board approval pending.

    1. Mandate AI adoption across the enterprise, harvest results, then abruptly pivot and transfer the real work to a carefully curated few. Innovation complete; contributors optional. Successfully executed.

    2. Freeze funding, double expectations, and brand survival as a privilege. The options remain clear: comply, burn out quietly, or exit with gratitude. Sustainable leadership in action.

MVGA — because nothing says “Great Again” like morale erosion, selective accountability, and transformation by LAYOFFs

1.  Turn Indian leaders into the official scapegoats of the quarter — check, already in progress.

2.  Create a high-performance environment so relentlessly hostile that attrition becomes “voluntary.” If that fails, help them leave. Operational excellence achieved.

3.  Systematically convert VZI into a financial and reputational liability, then recommend shutting it down as a “strategic optimization.” Board approval pending.

4.  Mandate AI adoption across the enterprise, harvest results, then abruptly pivot and transfer the real work to a carefully curated few. Innovation complete; contributors optional. In progress...,

@a8 this person is an Indian from cr-ppy school.

You can judge his upbringing by this prejudice that certain people are better than others based on their work/ role.
This is how casteism work in India.
“Peon” is a classic insult word thrown by Indians to demean others .

I watched the All Hands. Dan said that the Q4 results is the driver behind achieving targets in 2025, not the previous 3 quarters. What he is saying, it is all attributed to him. He is a gloom and doom guy, not motivating. It is a waste of time. He even took a photo of the audience to send his wife - he said to his sweetie. who gives a fu-k! people are losing their livelihood. He doesnt have a plan. It is either that, or he is preparing the company for sale.

@OP I think he’s only plan is to reduce expenses through mass layoffs. He prefers robots over people. Terrible leader.

While thousands of families suffer and have to worry about how to pay their bills, he is going to personally pocket millions in golden parachute out of here
