Just gonna say it - Upper management is completely out of touch

I've been with Verizon for 12 years, and I'm honestly disgusted with the direction this company is heading. The constant re-orgs, the pointless meetings, the pushing of half-baked projects...it's all so frustrating. They keep talking about 'innovation' but then stifle any real creativity. And the pressure to meet unrealistic deadlines is insane. I'm burning out fast, and honestly, I don't see things getting better anytime soon. It feels like they're just squeezing us dry while lining their own pockets. I'm actively looking for a way out. This place is a soul-crushing machine.

I feel your pain. Been here almost as long, and the shift in the last few years is palpable. Remember when Verizon was actually a leader? Now it feels like we're just chasing trends, poorly. The constant pressure to 'do more with less' is unsustainable. I'm actively looking for other opportunities. Don't let them burn you out completely.

Re-orgs and 'innovation' – sounds like every large corporation. But realistically, have you tried speaking up? Document specific instances where your creativity was stifled, or deadlines were impossible, and present them to your manager or HR. It's a long shot, but if enough people do it, maybe someone will listen. Leaving is always an option, but might be worth attempting to address the issues first.
