I had worked for Ericsson and Hans was a wrecking ball. Layoffs all over. I moved to AT&T and that wasn’t better. So… I went to VZ. And what the he-l, they hired Hans. Then the cuts started. What I want to know is who is going to be held responsible... — read more
Red logo was well worth the cost
Nearly a billion in costs for rebranding has really turned the company around! All my friends neighbors and family love the new color and tell me all the time how they my employer, netflix. Thanks Leslie!
I had high hopes for Dan
Hearing him make jokes at the time when so many have lost their livelihood and the rest of us are still uncertain if we'll have a job in a month or two completely disillusioned me. That shows how much he truly "cares" for employees.
Dan The Scam Shulman
What a “B” rated speech by the new CEO. States so many issues with where Verizon is now as if he wasn’t part of the, DAN YOU WERE ON THE BOARD.
Much Like DOGE....
the cuts were too deep and haphazard, with not enough precision or thought given to the reality of the situation. Now the back-peddling and re-hiring will soon begin in order to get things back on track.

VSPers - Anyone else lost access?
Setting up a new computer today and my access to the severance portal and Verizon benefits connection are no longer working. I haven't logged on in a minute so not sure when this issue started. Anyone else have this problem or know who to contact?
Now I feel even less confident that any of this will actually lead somewhere
There’s no real plan. Just cutting into oblivion won’t magically make the company better, more efficient, or more profitable. And no, AI can’t replace people, unless someone is aiming for an epic fail.

My payout is wrong. The numbers do NOT add up. Called benefits hotline and they couldn't understand where the payout is coming from either. Do not leave anything on the table.
Why didn't Dan address the elephant in the room?
The offshore (lack of) customer service is a large factor why customers don't trust Verizon! You can't talk about Verizon being risk adverse, hung up on processes, and not being the best with the network anymore etc etc without talking about the... — read more
The Emperor’s New Clothes
Sure Dan thinks he’s telling us all these revelatory truths but we all knew what he was saying was true years ago. There’s a significant proportion of the company whose goals are aligned to saying “No” or “It’s not me”. Trying to get anything done... — read more

Unpopular opinion
Dan is doing what needs to be done to fix years of bad leadership and turn the company around. He’s the real deal.
Retirement Benefits......HA!
RIF'd after 29 years with company. I'm retirement eligible, but there are absolutely ZERO retirement BENEFITS!! Seriously.....extremely high healthcare costs, and a 25% disc on cell service. That's an insult to any employee that stuck around this... — read more
Bravo Dan
Saying nothing but the truth. We aren’t what we used to be. Hans shipped all of customer service to 3rd world countries. What were we thinking the outcome was going to be ? Cheaper for a better experience? Heck no. You get what you pay for. The good... — read more
Verizon CEO's strategy looks more like a blueprint for failure

This is the board - the culprits of misleading this company
What did the board do these oast years? Allow the worst decisions. How they fixed it? Unload 13+ of the employees 🤬 - oh, and come to sip a cuppa coffe in front of every employee - VZ board member compensation varies, with independent directors... — read more

1k days?
This all hands was: ••• a complete embarrassment.
VZ paying him over $60m for him to sip coffefe and make jokes to the entire company
Dan's right
He correctly identified many of our weaknesses. That's half the battle--fixing all that won't be so easy. And he did show that he has some common sense in getting rid of that ridiculous "hub or no promotion" policy. I'd say that bodes well for WFH... — read more
VZ pays him $59.5M in stock for this leaders?
$1.5m base 250% sti = $3.7m $59.5 grants due on 2027 RSUs: $9.5m $20m $30m (As reported in Verizon's SEC filings for his appointment)

Verizon employees has 1000 days to get another job
Dan wants Ai displace Verizon employees within 1000 days per his comments on his all hands call. Time to jump off the sinking ship before then.
Dan gives Jack Palance vibes
I realize I'm showing my age with the title Honestly I don't hate his attitude. And there is no doubt that Hans' leadership was never going to get us back on track. Maybe this doesn't work but something had to change.
I LiKe MeSeLf A CupPa CoFfEe MmmMm Dude, you just ruined so many lives
Reposting this comment someone posed it. Right on! Such a clown that hatchet man
From Dan: satisfying our custs and shareholder - yeah, Right!
Is this guy living in La-la land? Satisfying customers? For years customers have been complaining thar VZ is super expensive. While TM proivded a flat rate bill, VZ’s bills are never the same. The arrogance of VZ leadership and the board bite us... — read more
All Hands
What is Dan even talking about in this all hands?? He seems so unprepared and is just talking in circles... he hasn't said one useful thing and is just patting the useless execs on their backs.

India/offshore didn't take our Jobs. Executives/shareholders GAVE our jobs away.
