Dear Dan. I was impacted in this round, and I don’t believe it was the right call. The people doing the hard, honest work — on the ground and in the offices — are getting cut, while others who don’t reflect the Verizon credo and haven’t put in the same effort are protected simply because of who they know, not what they do. Executives hold a lot of power in these decisions, and right now that power isn’t being used fairly. If you want to understand what’s actually happening, spend time with the people doing the work — not just the people around you who read off a deck to give you an update. Only then can you make real decisions about who and what should be cut. When executives are given unchecked power, too many will protect themselves and their friends first. I’m saying this directly because someone should. The people you’re losing are the ones who made this company run. And the so-called strategist leaders who remain still haven’t delivered a single fresh or new idea. Dan, and the executives still there — I hope you’re listening. At the end of the day, the truth always comes out. This plan of cutting is a calculated way to bring the stock prices up, but will fail in the long run. AI can’t replace humanity and integrity. I understand cuts, but not like this. Sincerely from an honest real ✌🏼teamer.

Olivia Newton John is rolling over in her grave right now.
Your response is to point fingers at your coworkers, instead of the actual people who let you go. They probably let you go based on character.
The guy is whack. What makes you think he cares about Verizon employees? Clearly he doesn't even care about his wife (Using AI to write her lovely poems). What a joke of a CEO....
@ba would be nice to change the lyrics as a ballad to/about Verizon. I’m too lazy though.
@aw oh lord, I am. Look at the other post after mine. It’s time people band together and speak up. Losing our jobs impact our family and livelihoods.
@aw being sarcastic it’s a title of a song lol
@ab trust me not pleading.
@ar you’re clueless, go ask AI what that means.
@ar "written"
If you sincerely worked to "reflect the Verizon credo" and consistently "put in the effort" you are a dimwitted bootlicker and it's no wonder you were removed.
Best of luck in your future endeavors.
You should be hopelessly devoted to yourself, your family and true friends
You could’ve sincerely wrote this without AI
Pleading to the main sociopathic villain... that makes a lot of sense. Stock-holm syndrome too much?
