Dan signed up for multi billion dollar transformation. 15k layoffs wasn't enough. More cuts def coming and it seems like execs are getting real with their teams and just flat out scrutinizing everything.
The Sr Directors are also lacking one of the two main key skills. 1) leadership 2) technical knowledge.
Only a handful around that can do both. Can't grow a company if u are just one.
Bumping this up for visibility. OP: @ap+1kkyyeqjg
@fc It might be quiet for a little, but no CEO ever has ever promised no more layoffs. It’s just not realistic.
I thought someone posted that Dan had promlsed no more layoffs.
@en Amen!!!!
@dm It isn't 1955. The office is full of distractions, noise, employees infecting others because they came in sick, the eyewatering odor of perfume soaked employees, hearing the employee next to you arguing with their spouse in a foreign language, the break room microwave encrusted with 10 layers of grime because they can't figure out how to cover their plate, the stench of the communal bathrooms...
All of that just so I can log in to a remote computer and have endless meetings with people in other states on Bluejeans, I mean WebEx, no wait Meet. Most of us don't work in marketing where they sit around a table and bounce ideas off each othet about what Pete Davidson will say in the next TV ad. The rest of us have assigned tasks to complete and we don't work them in a group.
@e3 yeah I get that. Idk maybe some but more likely people would just hang on and call out, take disability, and do $hit work trying to hold on until next RIF.
@bg Working undistracted by things at home. Interacting with other coworkers. Learning things we wouldn't otherwise, if working from home. Helping others with a quick bit of verbal data they likely wouldn't have gotten otherwise, same day at least. Serendipity happening almost every day I'm in there. It's that simple. You should try it. Or don't.
@bg I responding to the RTO comment. GNT are in office 3 days a week for a year now.
State the obvious why don’t you…
Yes, stock will go higher. Oh Danny boy!
@b5 Doing what in the office?
@at most of us are already in office at least 3 days a week in network
Sr Dir's are acting like supervisors or worse. Micro managing instead of doing actual upper management type work. Extreme in the nrb. I guess they can do that with the huge overload of management layers.
@af I appreciate your comment was unpopular but it's been misread. You're not necessarily saying you agree with RTO, just that if you wanted to get rid of staff then RTO is a fantastic way of doing it and it's hard to disagree
@af Many of us call center reps don’t have a center to return to - building was leased. But keep ba----g that drum.
Listen,Verizon doesn’t have to layoff employees. They have to enact a RTO mandate. I can almost guarantee all call center workers won’t return. A great way to layoff without clearing out departments.
