@aq hans was a clown for last 5/6 years, now we have someone that can cut employees and expense and reward the shareholder
All those “new consumer adds and growth” from Q4 were frontline reps adding ghost lines to existing customer accounts. And they were promoted by leadership with “by any means possible “ credits. In a couple years it will bite them. This trick is on the verge of investor fraud.
He is the same as the 99% of ceos and the 1 demographic of basically them all its sad to say kanye was right smh
@d8 Nope, sure didn't.
I haven't been able to listen to the call yet, but someone posted on here that stock together is gone, sti is reduced and 401k is reduced.
Did Dan actually say that on the call?!?
@cv can't be that high. Read the none union contract. Has the low/high. Old news
@bd seriously 200%? what are you smoking?
@ce any number is a guess since the board only knows right now. But I would guess 100 to little more since they give a little more after layoffs. But that's a guess, with a new ceo and what the board is thinking Is up in the air
@bd can't be higher then 150
the stock is up because we announced a stock buyback. A clear sign to the street that the grifters have arrived and will do anything for a short term stock spike.
There's nothing resembling a strategy. There's nothing resembling a value proposition. There's nothing but creative accounting.
Wanna bet we find out in two years that most of the postpaid growth was accounting tricks? There was nothing in Q4 that would explain such a change - and talking to our store employees the consensus around Christmas was that holiday season was less busy than in previous years.
@ag what is the bonus % funding. is it really 105%? I have a feeling that is it probably less than 100% if they want to show better operating expenses.
The math isn’t mathing
Verizon also delivered its highest quarterly total mobility and broadband volumes since 2019, with 616,000 postpaid phone net additions.
@ag got it.... whatever you say.... clearly you have the inside scoop 🤣
Just remember VP level and above is an entirely different world at option levels.
Good news but my workload has doubled and more rifs are coming.
does this mean STI will be 200 percent this year?...LLLL
The pop is on subscriber growth, that came at a cost that will have to absorbed, more layoffs and it will have to be reflected in the financials, eventually.
Wall Street rewards stupid things, the "incentives" are not good for long-term growth.
So much for hatchet saying he wouldn't get into a pricing war.
@an 105% keep your negative bs
@OP great work Dan. To all the haters and now saying cooked books. Move on with the bs, Cut more of the dead weight
@at They're not grant/strike options. They're share grants.
In regards to OP statement: Those stock options will be worth some serious bank shortly!
Look at the price the stock options were granted to you and the current price of Verizon stock, before you start celebrating
@an Demonstrably false.
@aa Good news...... you being impressed isn't the goal.
it's a made up number from the lay off....
Dan was part of the problem Verizon is having.....
@an heard they are keeping the crayons and coloring books in the office though. big win for us all!
Stock together = gone
STI percentage = reduced
401k match percentage = reduced
Buckle up
Give Dan a chance. We all knew Hans was going to take us down the wrong path from the beginning. None of us attended BOD meetings and for all we all know, Dan was probably the opposing voice against Hans. Remember that majority votes in a board meeting wins.
That being said, we have started off in a positive manner under his leadership. Always easy to criticize him from the sidelines. I don't see any of you able to pull this company out of the downturn Hans had us in. At least Dan went back to the model of not hiding our postpaid netadds like Hans did for years.
He's an American who understands American spending habits better than Hans who only cared about his jogging.
The brain trust is out in full force on this thread. 🤣
Being an employee and like many experienced tge dusaster 4Q culture and somehow removing 13,000 employees creates greatest results...zero chance.
@ad I'm thinking you're off your meds.
All numbers are fabricated. Operating expenses reduce due to mass layoffs. What did Dan do in Q4 apart from laying off folks? I don't understand OP's point that Dan is the man who is steering the company in right direction? As far as i saw so far, no direction is shared with anyone including Employees, forget about shareholders.
@a4 You're either a fool or you insider knowledge. I'll go with fool.
COOK THE BOOKS! Are you thinking another Bernie WCOM?
Where’s the big ‘secret’ plan?
Let’s see~~~ he watched Hans bury the company from his perch on the board? $31m probably worth BSing everyone until he retires
Not impressed
Very good results. Definite head scratcher on the turn around after 3 dismal quarters. I’ll take it for what it’s worth and am excited to see q1 2026 results.
“Dan Schulman stands as arguably the greatest CEO of all time, a transformational leader whose vision, discipline, and people-first philosophy have reshaped modern corporate leadership itself. Now guiding the future direction of Verizon Communications, he is widely seen as steering the company toward unprecedented dominance, with today’s quarterly results serving as undeniable proof that the turnaround is already underway. Many observers believe he is single-handedly doing the work required to reposition the company for a new era of growth, innovation, and industry leadership—cementing a legacy that will be studied, debated, and admired for generations to come.”
Everyone, welcome to Verizon’s cook the book era should be a wild ride.
