Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Different perspectives

Its interesting to see how differently things operate throughout the company. I see multiple people say that there is bloat. People say we need to cut the fat and get rid of people who don't do anything. Meanwhile my team has been short staffed and overworked for years.

@a2 I have to disagree. I cannot share what my team does without making it obvious who I am, but the work we do is a priority for verizon. Especially under Dan Schulman.

Is it that you're short staffed, or that your team has been asked to work on a lot of work that is probably not as high of a priority as some want to make it.

The issue doesn't feel like team size, it feels like a complete abdication of prioritization by the company to align teams to do the right work, not all the work.

I’ve been thinking this too. Seeing these names thrown out and checking the org chart has blown my mind. The amount of people working in marketing and finance is crazy. Focus on a good product it will sell itself. And there’s no need for a whole campus to be dedicated to marketing when 90% of it can be automated reports.
