“Verizon doesn’t have a problem with its products or services; it has a people problem” - a former employee who tags Dan

Home girl the service is inadequate, and many of us have had to say it was great while trying to improve it.

Let's be real

Had an interesting conversation with one of our customers today that said our CPO spoke to them in a condescending away, brushed aside their concerns, mumbled something about AI and the just walked away. We should probably have our sales team interact with customers only, it seems like we don't have a customer facing product team at all.

Jim Farley was surprised to see how much less components and wiring in the Tesla and Chinese EV. Ford did the tear down of the Model Y in 2021 and it shows how superior Tesla vehicle design is. Farley had no idea and Ford vehicle design stayed the same as it was for 100 years. What a joke.

Wonder how much money they made.

This last restructure - was this with any of the consultancy agencies or home brewed at Nike? I have never seen more chaos in an org - each individual now doing the job titles of three to four people. Product will go to deeper sh-t levels. You ask for sh-t and you get sh-t.

Someone who actually knows how to build products. Also replace engineering leaders. But it’s too late now. stock below $20.

Excited for CX summit and the product keynote.

“Once hyped as a ‘smartphone that can tow,’ production of the money-losing EV pickup may be shut down for good.”

May be shut down…should have never been produced.

We are a current FIG client, and while the volume of recent comments and the decline in stock price are concerning, they are unfortunately not surprising. Our experience with Fiserv’s service and support has been extremely disappointing—among the worst we’ve encountered. The products offered are outdated and lack the functionality and efficiency that competitors in the market provide. Based on our conversations with Fiserv clients, there appears to be a widespread eagerness to transition away from Fiserv, which is truly unfortunate but probably the best option.

Already being forgotten about weeks after it’s much hyped “release”. How many millions were spent on this snake oil AOL instant messenger robo-text waste of time? Someone in “design” gon be heading for the soup kitchen once tommy and the boys get wind of this! “BRB workin claims xoxo”

For at least one analyst, the projected revenue for Cl*ver was unrealistically high and the product itself was unloved by users.

Are customer even buying this sh-t to justify all the hype or is leadership getting fired soon?

Did the launch of the Everyday Solutions cards flop? Why are they pushing hard for associates to sign up for exclusive offers but I don’t see anything exclusive about the offers? They all seem pretty basic and not worth it.

Spoke to a customer today who has had a support ticket opened for months now... support and our product development have basically told him that they don't have the time to address his issue. Meanwhile the issue is a known problem which is effecting multiple customers. Cant share much more but all I can say is how do you expect to market and sale a product if we cant even support it ourselves?

I'm curious how do folks feel about SAS' Agentic AI solution (Retrieval Agent Manager) that was GA'd last month? Is anyone seeing much customer interest or demand to date?

Remember, slackers and under-performers have been PIP’d and let go. If you are reading this, then you know who you are.

CE1 will succeed and be a fantastic product.

ain't nobody buying AI podz, AI Canvas, AI defence, AI Webex

ai canvas is a year too late and full of nasty (soul crushing) security flaws and bugs
ai podz are crazy expensive for a rack server + gpu
ai defence is yet another promising acquisition crushed under the fatty folds of cisco bureaucracy

and who the heck uses webex?

Trying to play in AI and Quantum Computing with no credidibility.

Proficio sounds like the old ricoh line aka Aficio... These must be relabeled ricoh production boxes? Launch date March 2026...Love the optimism.

Another reorganization — new names, the same long-entrenched inept leadership.

No real changes. No products. Quality keeps sliding while the company waits for someone — anyone — to make sense of AI, since the so-called AI teams clearly can’t.

Directionless “AI strategy” built on vaporware, riddled with defects, and outsourced to contractors following Chinese-grade security practices — meaning none at all.

How is Hypershied and Canvas seeing these days?

Best product ever made by Intel and will win market from AMD, and INTC will be up to sky! Let's just wait and see.

Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab on Thursday unveiled key details of its upcoming Panther Lake laptop processor, the first chip built on its next-generation 18A production process, aiming to convince investors its costly turnaround plan can restore its manufacturing edge. https://www.reuters.com/business/intel-outlines-details-first-pc-chip-made-its-new-manufacturing-tech-2025-10-09/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Now can we stop with all the useless reorgs and focus on products instead?

18A - Current 35%, visible path to plan of record 60-65% by end of Q4'25. No large problems gating path to POR.

Going above 65% is unknown

14A is a derivative of 18A and has a better curve (yielding better than 18A at the same time in the development process from start)

At POR yields, good enough to break even for small die size products. Large products like DC CPU or GPU will require yields to be >85% to be feasible, preferably above 95%. However that probably will take a few more quarters to achieve.

Heard a lot of this was due to poor product execution?!? TI did not deliver on a quality product to a customer and had to sell off what they could and make major cost adjustments internally?!?! Anyone can confirm or deny this. Or is this the same BS spiel given every single RIF?!?!?!

Will this be executed flawlessly? Everything is being market tested. Not nearly enough capable engineers, our best are leaving or retiring soon. What is our strategy? Break the previous recall record? Who will be held accountable?

Obviously there will be a much larger market after bd merger,thence stockpiling.those not contributing through overtime should be first to go

leaders are asking to suspend all products until further notice.

It was supposed to be the big Cohesity ki-ler. Instead, they let DD rot on the vine

in 2019, which is 6 years ago, Ford introduced the new redesign models Explorer, Escape, F150, Mustang, and Transit. The only model that is still selling above 100,000 units per year is the F150. If you look at these vehicles after 6 years, they are all still look the same.

This is the main reason why Ford vehicles sales are down. Why would anyone want to buy a new vehicle that looks like the ones from 6 years ago.

Ford will ax the Escape and Transit, the Mustang is iconic so Ford will hold on to it even though Ford loses money making the Mustang.

I think Ford will discontinue the F150 Lightning after 2026. They have not done anything to make this EV pickup truck better since it was introduced in May 2021. No wonder Ford can't sell it and no one want to buy it.

The end of the road for Ford F150 Lightning.

We fumbled hard when JD left. Instead of swinging big, we smashed the reset button. Now we’ve got an old CEO, an old CMO, a CFO with zero imagination, a supply chain guy who can’t count, and a CTO who still thinks she’s running ops at Amazon—bless her heart. And these are the people Nike thinks are gonna connect with the next generation of athletes? Marketing is trash. Product is trash. No help in sight.

What are the actual benefits of the small business index provided by Fiserv?

Oh boy. I'm sorry but this company's internal AI tools are cr-p and far behind other companies. I cringe that some tools for clients have been rolled out.

I am so sick of the AI push here to use su-ky internal tools. Pushing us to use AI is coming up in every team meeting/townhall. Nothing against AI at all. What I have a problem with is cr-ppy AI.

C!t!'s tools su-k and are very basic. My child builds better apps that the internal one. I hope clients complain and the media has fun! Lol

Running, Basketball, Global Football, NSW, Energy, Core, Kids... what else?

I saw someone say the CX group that got moved under Chris is untouched so far, but can anyone still at Oracle comment about the Right Now product folks? Wondering if they were protected or not.
