#allhands

Funny how a DEI question was asked about female execs and all the male execs on the stage struggled to answer 😄

Anyone else is disappointed by All- Hands..
I have started feeling like that there is actually no real plan.. it’s all smoke and mirrors..

Dan did not talk about any solid plan and Now Alfanso did not talk any real plan or strategy to execute his grand vision.

What did we just witness?

Even senior leaders appear unable to credibly defend the current direction. All-hands meetings lack conviction, and there is a widespread belief that employees are being financially and professionally constrained with little effort to soften the message.

This company isn't even capable of running an all hands

If we hadn’t wasted so much time talking about AI, he could have actually covered the important points he ran out of time for.

And another thing , why are people in here celebrating someone getting fired? Sampath! That says a lot about your character.

Paying 100% STI was the bare minimum. Anything less would have been flat out disrespectful after laying off 15,000 people.

At this point, just let AI write my year end performance review.

Why is he beating around the bush and wasting time?

Same old? Or will there be some major news? Maybe RTO requirements will be more lax?

Will tomorrow's webcast be some type of announcement, or just the usual All Hands kickoff for the year?

Confirmed layoff next week before the All-Hands. Have now heard it from multiple sources in my organization. Don’t know the scale but know 2 members on my team that are impacted.

Very disappointing, I hope I get selected honestly. I’ve been meaning to leave for a while and it would force change in my career.

Ya'll lapped up the pink Kool-Aid like it was champagne. Ya'll believed Legere when he said TMO would "be job-positive from Day 1" after they gobbled up Sprint. Truth is they started laying off on Day 1.

Mmmm, that pink Kool-Aid seems to be going sour. But, go on to the next all hands meeting and rah rah.

No pigeonhole this All Hands call she wants us to email questions directly to a mailbox so she doesn’t get harsh questions.

i dont know bout you all we looking forward to
Tomorrows clendenim all hands meeting

love that these id--ts send out all hands meetings with no agenda and also ask for fools to give feedback on communication

hard to believe any of these ppl graduated college

text above is obv bad grammar to avoid detect with the machine learning algoz

Here is what I heard from today`s Town Hall:

• EBIDTA is at a great level (90% of the employees doesn`t care, or have no idea what that is.)
• We should be very happy for the shareholders, as they will receive a min. 10$ divident / share.
• How nice that the colour of the 2 logos are matching.
  No mention of the employees, when will they advise on leadership, new responsibilities, or just acknowledging the frustration we have. At least they should say they are working on it and will be shared soon, or giving some justification for the hold up.

What a sad joke. We can't even run a zoom call.

Confirmed massive layoffs happening after the new year. Up to 40% of collab, 25% of sales, 50% of security and 20% of data center will be notified between January 7th - 10th.
G2 quote from All hands meeting: "We must capitalize on growth areas going into Q1 and Q2 26, unfortunately radical measures must be taken to accomplish our business goals with the emerging use of AI. It is not easy to make this decision, but we must let people go"

Managers have warned us to start looking for other positions.
Hardest hit will be engineers on Webex & Contact centre

Everything that was said in that stupid meeting could have been said in an email. Your employee survey feedback su-ked and you still don’t get it!! Just hold more meetings to see why and how convenient no time for Q&A!! No mention of the 401k cuts.

After laying off over 2000 employees in 2025, we were notified in an all hands meeting near the end of November that they were done with cuts "for the rest of the year." During an IT All Hands meeting in December, Brian announced that we should expect a 25-40% reduction in staff due to AI implementation (which they strongly pushed on everyone).

Will there be more RIFs ?

Compensation and reward always appears as a negative in your voice feedback. Is there a plan to address this ?

Responses, erm we have a new employee development project.

Did anyone watch it /attend? It seemed like 40 minutes of someone talking but not actually saying anything. Maybe I’m just d-mb and that’s why I didn’t get it.

Did anyone notice the difference between ansys presenters and synopsys presenters in Todays all hands?

The Q&A part is now not needed ? Witout ever answering anything ever?

CEO doesn't even show up in office for the all hands after forcing everyone back 5 days 🤡🤡

Sandeep called somebody out by name and talked about him having foot surgery during the all-hands. Isn’t that PHI?

I have never seen this site so much silent. No new topics since long or people have stopped posting. Seems company is doing well. I think yesterday was good employee meeting focused on a lot about members & employees.

Heard a rumour that the whole all employee call this week is going to be created by AI to show everyone what it can do…can’t wait to see if this is true

The all hands on Monday were being nothing burgers. They did not say anything new. They sent an email with the changes then schedule an all hands over a week later to say the same thing? This is why VZ fails. Redundant and inefficient. Bet Friday’s call will be the same. It’s evident that things will not change. Dan the hatchet man is that, the hatchet man and will sadly pass it off to Scampath who will continue to tank the company. Leave while you can. VZ will not survive this 13k RIF. Culture, morale is dead there’s no coming back from losing trust in your people.

What’s this all about?

Any news?

So, on Monday we have a Consumer Group all-hands with Sampath. Immediately followed by one with DK for Value. I normally hate all-hands calls, but this should be interesting. Any bets on topics?

Time for hundreds to go sit in a war room and pretend like it’s the 80’s and we don’t have laptops to support from home. Put on a smile, wear holiday sweatshirts and pretend to be honored when leaders show up or in the case of MD send a video of thanks from Seattle.
Everyone gather for a photo to be shared in the all hands and come to work sick next week from the shared germs. Happy Holidays

While the plan was being developed to layoff 15,000 people a retention bonus was extended to Sampath and the CFO Skiadas. Each received $4,000,000 in stock. Hans will collect close to $25,000,000 for 2025 and will continue to get paid as an advisory member of the board. Dan's salary is $1,500,000 with long term incentives that will mature to $60,000,000.

Let that sink in while you navigate your job search. For those that have expressed guilt because you still have a job and your peers were let go, ask these execs how they manage to sleep at night. They are making a windfall while others suffer. Sam can speak to this in the next all hands and explain how execs and the front line are treated equally.

Surprised to see Gina’s internal email in the press already! 😀.

Will be interesting to see how the board addresses this in the all hands next week and their comments on share price + continued transformation.

As a TSYS Issuer TM I was very excited when I heard we were getting AWAY from GP and joining forces with a company I thought MAY know how to do us better. I figured it definitely couldn't get any worse than being treated like the ugly stepchild like GP has done us. With that being said I'm losing confidence daily and at this point just hope I have a job in this cr-ppy market. I'm sorry and I hate that you all have been going through all the same cr-p that we have (McKinsey) recently. Just to add a little icing on the cake your CEO and Chief People Officer joined our Issuer All Hands this morning and we're about as happy and excited as anyone could be. Hard to imagine they could be so happy at the exact same time their TM's were being fired via Google Meets. Really makes me feel warm and fuzzy about joining the team! Not an ounce of regret or remorse in either of their voices. 🤬

At first they mentioned how we outperformed booking revenue and we hit all these expectations and more. Then they briefly mentioned layoffs and the just said they can’t say anything about it and just to put your head down and wait for the storm to end. Looks like it’s happening even when we are over performing in some segments.

Anyone notice that a few SVPs weren’t included in the Q&A today? Yolanda, Julie, Kwame? What could this mean? Do they have nothing to contribute? Some of the questions involved their groups… I would have like to see them speak.

Love that he kept the meeting and is actually addressing the issues (well, sort of). Still, much better than all the "leaders" who are simply hiding and too chicken to talk to their employees (like Kyle or Shankar)
