    1. Integrity:"We are committed to do the right thing
      and follow sound business practices in dealing with
      our customers, suppliers, owners and competitors.
      Our competitors are not enemies; they are challengers
      who drive us to improve."
    2. Respect: "The quality and reliability of the products we deliver
      are paramount. Customers pay us to provide them with
      services that they can rely on."
    3. Performance Excellence: "We are more agile
      than companies a fraction of our size, because we act
      fast and take risks every day. We see crisis and change
      as opportunities, not threats"
    4. Accountability: "We focus on fundamental execution.
      We are accountable and we follow through with a
      sense of urgency. We know that having the highest
      ethical standards is a competitive advantage."
    5. Social Responsibility: "We embrace diversity and personal development not
      only because it's the right thing to do, but also because
      it's smart business. We are driven not by ego but by
      accomplishments. We keep our commitments to each
      other and our customers. Our word is our contract."

    1. Climate Consciousness: "Because the amount we use can adversely impact our environment, we strive to minimize our use in two big ways— by using energy efficient technologies across our network and all of our facilities and by investing in renewable sources to offset the energy we do use."
    2. Youth Involvement: "
      We help remove barriers to connect today’s youth to tomorrow’s opportunities."
    3. Employee Volunteering: "
      Our employees serve as champions for their local communities. That’s why they’re at the heart of all the good we do. By supporting the causes they care most about, we’re able to help create vibrant, healthy communities."

Most competing companies use passive ways of showing they are better than the other companies, but for T-Mobile and Verizon, it is personal. Below is an excerpt from T-Mobile's company blog posted on February 2, 2020:

    "Now, Verizon’s spending big Super Bowl bucks to advertise JUST AGAINST T-MOBILE’S 5G NETWORK. Not just against T-Mobile as a brand… but actually trying to take on our network!  Something they never even cared about before! Why? Because they finally had to admit that we’re the real network competition, especially with the New T-Mobile. And they’re absolutely right... Face it. Verizon peaked in 2007. And they’re terrified that people are catching on."]]>     2021-03-04 22:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorl310/74o1vyp4vrgzbgxq/wish/1271581531     Verizon vs. T-Mobile: Awards taylorl310 https://padlet.com/taylorl310/74o1vyp4vrgzbgxq/wish/1271605427 While Verizon continues to stay on top in coverage and investments, T-Mobile wins more awards for customer service and work environment.
