Customer service week

Customer service week is coming up! What a joke. My manager doesn't give a hoot about customer service. It's all about that pretty spreadsheet of our "numbers" that he posts every week. Taking care of the customers is NEVER mentioned. In fact, we are... — read more

Verizon offer isn't really that good

The Verizon folks will never make back what was lost when pensions were frozen in 2005 and health care benefits were frozen as well. AT&T people are so lucky that their management team did not follow suit behind Verizon. (YET!)

Early retirement

I was surplussed recently, even though I look at it as early retirement, and it does seem that Verizon has always been run a bit better than AT&T. I'm not saying this with 'sour grapes' but their stock always seemed to do much better than ours. It... — read more
