Leadership in my organization is useless, indecisive and incapable of making sound decisions. When I asked to provide direction, they complicate things by giving you more work, even when you provide them with everything they asked for, they still don’t do anything. You will come out of the discussions/meetings more confused. This leads to ambiguity and tension between team members who end up confused not knowing what to do, not to mention the time and resources wasted on the endless calls where sometimes all it takes is a strong leader to say “yes” or “no”. They do not care as long as you don’t bother or challenge them. The moment you do, you will be rewarded with more work!

The company started losing its way about 10 years ago.
This recaps the disastrous media "strategy":

Hans took over as CEO and VZ bailed out of the media strategy after big losses. Then he let the company lose its network quality advantage to TMO while ja--ing up prices for service to simulate revenue growth as it bled market share. Wall Street finally didn’t buy it anymore. And here we are.
VZ 1.0 was a huge mistake
@a8 many d-mb CEO moves but putting global international markets in a mission statement sounds like a high school kid doing a HBS business case.
Throw in shipping ysa Customer Service to I dia second d-mbest thing.
Third… pay sampatha retention bonus.
Alrice failing with Induan Culture in CEO position and Sampath has demonsstrated zero ability to understand and execute.
Agree with OP but I will go a step further.
Seidenberg / Lee; Seidenberg; McAdam - The last of the CEOs that understood telephony. McAdam started the slide when the company rebranded itself as international. VZB takes over wireline, nothing like employees of two failed companies leading the way but they were international - their tiny service footprint in Europe and Asia made them so. And along comes Hans with his European style leadership malaise, talk about your synergies... Cue up the Paypal guy. What a disgusting past decade.
@OP nailed it. On top of that, we have yes men and women who just do as asked and never stop to question if we should. We burn money and then end up burning employees.
