Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

CXO leadership summit ?????

So… saw the big LinkedIn splash about the CXO Leadership Summit.

Thought we were tightening spend on these things? Especially while we’re laying people off and talking about cost discipline.

Genuine question —
• What was the actual outcome of this summit?
• How much did we spend hosting hundreds of “leaders”?
• What measurable business value came out of it?

Feels a bit tone-deaf when teams are being asked to do more with less.

Would be good to see some transparency and accountability here.

CXO leadership? I’m not familiar with that term - I don think we have any. It’s been more than 4 months since the new CEO, but nothing has been accomplished. The ship is just adrift at sea. When we ask “leadership” for direction or decision they say - hold off, there is a leadership summit next week - we’ll know the plan soon.

I was hoping for the best with Dan. His AI stories are fascinating, but nothing has been done the last 5 months. Absolute standstill!

@a7 these people are on even executives. These are random band 6 and 5 people put together to do whatever..
These people not only get fat paychecks but also scrapping money from Verizon in other form and shapes

There is a reason why Sampath got pushed out. He let these people go loose for way too long! Buck stops at him.
Hope Alfonso is going to do something about it.

Typical, sales and executive leadership get a pass. I know a person that just had layoffs at their business, but sent 1000 sales people to Vegas for a kickoff sales meeting. Hmmm...

Value is the best in the business! Their leaders will brag about it with pictures from their travels on LinkedIn. Every meeting is a game changer that delights the LinkedIn world!
