A company like Verizon, which provides a consumer service, is fundamentally dependent on a healthy and stable customer base. By adopting a strategy that prioritizes short-term financial gains from cost-cutting at the expense of its workforce's stability, it is playing a dangerous long-term game. The evidence suggests that a business that fails to add societal value by being a stable and responsible employer will likely face a downward spiral of a damaged brand, customer churn, and ultimately, lost revenue. The very technology that is supposed to make the company more profitable could, in the long run, lead to its economic decline if it guts the consumer base that is essential for its survival.
