Hanz 'It's Possible' Zimmer
CEO at Verizon


Hanz sent the following email to Verizon employees earlier today. Greeting Verizon Vipers and Vastly Valuable Employees, It is with a heavy heart that I announce today that 10% of our workforce must be laid off due to our less than desirable company slogans. Even though I take full responsibility for this dire situation, it felt necessary to explain how we got here.
Let's Get Wired Together
It all started when I decided to challenge our creative marketing team to come up with fresh, new slogans that would appeal to everyone. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Our staff decided to take an avant-garde approach to the project and came up with slogans that were unorthodox and a bit too edgy for our more conservative customer base. These slogans included 'Let's Get Wired Together' and 'Ring Out a Connected World.' I understand that this news can be difficult to take in and I apologize for any disruption it may have caused. I have faith that our remaining workforce can pick up the pieces and move forward. Stay healthy and stay safe. Sincerely, Hanz 'It's Possible' Zimmer
