SD lives 2 hours or more away from office

i’m in finance. My SD lives well over two hours away from BR. He has multiple Asso. Directors on the team who also live over two hours away. he calls into meetings from his kids atheltic events.We’re required to go into these office but these fools are cheating Verizon by leaving early on in-office days (and showing up late. maybe work from 10-2 with a long lunch?), not working, shoving work down on lower employees, and other selfish acts that hurt the company. why would someone be hired who lives in a city over 2 hours away?

I get it for EVPs. but for a lowly SD? our SVP also lives 3 hours away from her home office. this is why Verizon’s performance has been suffering for YEARS and maybe DECADES

@ax as Tulsa just had their last day in office. Finance Transformation was magical!

I love watching anonymous people online argue about working at a toxic nearly defunct company where the CEO clearly doesn't care about the employees and where execs are beyond their expiration date

@bp Then you are part of the reason for Verizon's issues. Just leave so we can bring in someone new that will do the job that they are being paid to do. If you are not doing your job to the best of your ability then you have some ethical and moral issues to work out. You are being paid to do x-y and z, that is the contract. Verizon does not owe you anything until you complete the jobs you were hired to do. Do the work, you get paid for the work and you have agreed to this by staying on the job. I think you need to check yourself and your moral, clearly you have some issues.

@aa our VP is also 2 hours away and his office is always dark. I do not take it seriously..if I’m not feeling it - I work from home and my supervisor does not know as he is not in our location. It’s part of my quiet quitting plan. I’m “this close” to retirement and really am over this place. That or I use a vacation day. Not giving this place 200% any more…nope!

If they are actually good at their job, no one cares where they work from

Sounds about right. Rules don’t apply to them. Highly unfair but VP’s don’t care.

Verizon finance leaders are best in class. Great reputations both internally and externally. From Fit to Win, to VGS to finance transformation - the results speak for themselves. Truly.

unfortunately you cant do anything about it. if you say anything you will likely get fired. it is what it is. life is not fair. an executive told me early in my career that you have to find a mentor or someone who can protect you. it is not about hard work

Rules for thee, none for me.

Keep this situation in mind for the next time you might be tempted to work hard for Verizon.
