Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

We’re Excited About AI, But Our Upper Middle Management Isn’t Ready

We keep talking about employees needing to adopt AI tools, but what about the SVPs, VPs, and SDs? How are they being held accountable for adapting to a world powered by AI?

AI opens doors to speed, efficiency, and smarter decision-making. But it also exposes a problem: it lets poor leaders procrastinate, hide while solutions have been obvious for months.

AI can supercharge productivity, but it doesn’t fix leadership inertia. If senior leaders can’t act until forced, no amount of AI will save the organization.

It’s time we start asking: how are we upgrading their skills for the AI era?

VZ will sc--w up AI as it has with everything it has ever touched. This is not due to the employees, it is due to the direction that the execs have pushed to follow. Execs do not feel they should know. They read a one page summary, spout a few buzz words, then lay off the employees when things do not happen.

I can do my managers Job better than they can. All they do is spout the next catchy pass the bs phrasing. Do I want to be in management, heck no.

Three people left know what’s going on and it’s all in different systems. AI will never work in a messy company like Verizon who does not have a golden source of data
