I have to say, the leadership at Verizon has done some UTTERLY stupid things. Yet nothing happens to them... For example this Frontier debacle. Buy Yahoo/AOL? Really? Blue Jeans? No one even knows that that is? Why buy Blue Jeans when Zoom, MS Teams, and Google Chat were already well established? Just d-mb...
Really bad decisions and the employees are left with the fallout. Mr. Hans gets his golden parachute... just like those before him.
Dan is simply using Elon's model of slash and cut (e.g. Twitter/X). The problem that Dan doesn't understand is that an application only has so many facets. A network the size of Verizon is extremely complicated and can't be compared to a phone App, but he doesn't care. He's a short-timer.
Best of luck to you people. The job market is good if you live in Texas. If you don't, it is more challenging. You'll find something but maybe not at the pay you're currently making.
