Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Desperate VPs looking for for ways to get you fired

I was in a call the other day.
She starts to ask how we can use ai to make our tools better. Offering suggestions that have already been solved last year. Literally doesn't know anything.

Worse is I looked her up and she has no direct reports. I asked around and apparently they gave all her reports to some poor schmuck and her role now is to literally look for ai opportunities wherever they are.

That's it, that's her job. $175k a year to for someone with no ai experience, no software experience, no hand on experience to do nothing except look for ways to justify more layoffs

This is a joke right...

I was on a call just like this, this was in GNT. But she was an AD not a VP. I think its the same person because the AD didnt have any direct reports, just checked.

But yeah it was ultra cringe. Basically asking for ai ideas cause they cant come up with their own.

This company’s talent pool is painfully shallow, the general low iq, imagination, creativity… Dunning-Kruger would have to adjust their study data to account for an outlier of this scale
