none of this would have happened in the first place. I’ve been here for more than ten years, and every round of cuts, reorgs, or leadership changes I’ve witnessed has been about shedding competence while retaining or promoting failure. There have been exceptions, but they are so rare they only prove the rule. When that’s how decisions are made all the way to the top, even major bloodletting is not going to produce the outcomes leadership desires.

With AI and our internal tools it’s only a matter of time before tasks will be impossible to complete. ADs promoted past their core competencies, ADs that have no clue and 2/3 people left only know how to cut a POs and track updates. Nobody knows how silly the updates actually are.
No lies told. Some aspects of Verizon are teetering on the edge of catastrophe. Putting incompetent ADs in charge of critical platforms. Who is making these decisions? Who are then going to blame when all bad decisions come to fruition? It's like a slow moving train wreck you can't look away from.
only 10 years?
after 24 years, you'll be saying the same thing - that is the way it is done, especially at VZW.
2 year rotations for the chosen ones moving here and there but never really sticking. Focus on yourself and what you have control over and use all the stuff VZ gives. We've put away over $3 million total and the layoff just rolls off my back because I focused on a goal, not some silly promotions or fake titles.
@OP that would be great but they will never truly get rid of DEI
Correct, Dan talks about the trouble we’re in and the pain it will take to correct it and his people are who got us here.
That was the Bell System. Ma’s gone.
Theory used to be promote the ones that can’t do the job. Then that was followed up with DEI hiring.
