Heard that’s the path forward, and it makes sense. Combine operations, leadership. Cut many many many many heads. Sure, it will rough for a while, but it’s all about the immediate savings. No one cares about 3 years from now, only the next qtr and the current gap to solve for. Painful decisions are what random new CEOs are all about.
Also, no more value! Redundant operations. It’s all consumer and business, all customer. We don’t need 10 different marketing teams, just one.
While there are redundancies, the customer segments are significant different. The concept for effort was to create VGS for common corporate services. I think the better option would be to see where each BU has duplicated these functions to maintain and exert control.
Combing vcg and vbg is a real game changing iconic idea. The best in the business! From once just a straightforward wireless and wireline breakout, to consumer wireless consumer wireline business wireless business wireline, to an additional layer while retaining all previous layers - the future is bright! I look forward to hiring even more overlapping transformation teams to ensure this future success. Post it notes energize us! Art of the possible! Fit to win!
I’ve heard about the idea of combining vcg and vbg for yearssssssss . Whats new?
Anyone proposing Sampath remains in the picture needs to wake up.
All CEOs need to go. Flatten the structure and go down to max50-60k folks.
That is ALL that is needed. Fire CIO who couldn’t find his own replacement.
@ag combine the leadership levels, but keep separate teams.... just like before....
@OP Absurd. If anything, the Company should have a Consumer business, a business group that includes SMBs and Enterprise, and a Public Sector group. The PS business is significantly different and the idea that a consumer marketing team handling PS marketing is absurd.
The split created so many duplicate functions.......consolidate and you have those rif numbers...
@a7 wait we could lay off the micromanaging vcg managers. Then we can still combine with vbg. So much micromanagement here in vcg. Please.
VCG is a HELLHOLE. Keep those micromanagers the FU-K away from VBG.
What’s the point of three Ceo’s that can’t drive growth? Consolidate and save millions
Makes sense.. sampath runs… then have SVP Consumer, SVP Business.. report to Sampath.
