Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

The Verizon talent strategy is the envy of the industry. We are stacked with the biggest bullies and mean girls in leadership a fortune 30 could ask for. And it’s working! The results speak for themselves.

@c0 I tried too hard one year and got an "exceeds expectations". Instead of a 2-3% COL adjustment, I got ~4.5%. It was completely stupid. I should have done 2/3 less work that year and gotten a "meets expectations".

I left and found a better job at a different company.

Neither sales nor the price of the stock has increased since she has been in the job. That is called failure. GIGA. Nothing new under the sun in telecom.

The high performers at vz are the ones that do 90% of the work but only get a MEETS rating and sc--wed on bonuses

@bm you will get out your crayons and start coloring, and you WILL like it. now color!

@bm “ they’ve created a workforce whose main skill is painting lipstick on their failures and dubious achievements.”

In other words you CAN BS a BS’er 😂

@OP You should provide some context so people who are no longer at the company can understand what you’re talking about. Did Samantha Hammock quote McKinsey or are you quoting them?

At any rate, people should watch what the leadership does and not listen to what they say. It’s all BS as has been pointed out many times before.

They couldn’t identify the high performers even if they wanted to because they’ve created a workforce whose main skill is painting lipstick on their failures and dubious achievements.

Consulting firms are the second biggest ripoff, not far behind the Govt

@a7 the shadow board proves you right. interns who report back to toxic leaders on everything.

Address toxic behavior? The chro is the definition of toxic and needs to be fired effective immediately. She copy pastes her entire job from outsourced consultants and has zero real connection or understanding of Verizon’s people. She mostly gravitates towards interns who are too naive to see through her constant lies and bs.
