Does your org have a hiring/promotion freeze?
Is there a companywide hiring and promotion freeze in the US, or just JVB’s?
If so, how long have you been in your same position?
QCI: does it even matter?
My manager is giving me same copy pasted comments since past 5-6 quarter.
Why do we need to spend hours putting thoughts into how our work impacted our teams when the manager simply just adds one line and copy pastes same sh-t from previous quarters?
Is this normal?? What's an easy way to confront about this?
I have tried asking "I see some comments which overlapped previous quarter,
Would it be fair to say I'm not improving considering same commentary "
To which they blabber about something totally irrelevant to my performance
Verizon Connect
Anyone hear rumors at all about Verizon Connect?
Anyone know more about R2B? Want to know what people in the department think.
A lot of people seem to think we’re getting axed. I’m not so sure. Wanted to see if any R2B reps have any insight.

Rumors on Accounting?
Has anyone heard about accounting or specific departments?
Merger with CVX
Heard from a buddy in M&A that this is being discussed.
R2B IS Gone
I have knowledge that in the midst of 200 stores being converted you will see the r2b space dissolved. I was in discussion that split compensation is a waste of money and that with the stores going indirect the biz customers who come in store will be directly called from a inside sales rep when they sign in, and converted with in store pickup. B2B space is safe and CE. Wish you R2B REPS LUCK!
Your nervous because?
Wish I could do a legit poll but I'll just ask. Are you worried/nervous because?
A. The company doesn't care and is just cutting anyone.
B. Im just not that busy so I can see why it would be me.
C. Leadership isnt communicating clearly on this RIF
D. Other
Could unionizing bring the layoffs under control?
Is it time for T-Mobile to unionize? The leaders of the company clearly don’t care about the employees.
Unionizing could slow down and complicate the process of mass tech company layoffs by introducing legal and financial barriers through collective bargaining agreements.
CWA & IBEW both have telecom representation.
What percentage of layoffs done?
With Cali layoffs of 175/2300 (7.5%) , what percentage of layoffs are done? Give the anecdotal numbers and let's estimate
What % of people laid off this wave?
I see that there are planned layoffs in March and June, although I wonder if the source is one post on blind which might or might not be true. Either way it would help to evaluate what % is laid off? Cali laid of 175/2300 which is close to 10% budget as Cali is expensive? Post your % numbers based on anecdotal evidence
Repsol Reversed Merger with Apache? Is this wise?
Will Repsol decision to merge with an unreputable company like APA Apache be a good or bad decision? Will it create or destroy jobs?
If RIFd what’s your plan for healthcare?
I know RIF casualties are supposed to get a few weeks of medical coverage after we depart, but assuming you don’t quickly find another job, what’s your plan for medical coverage? ACA? COBRA? Private plan?
Next CEO
Sampath or Stratton? Who do you think makes more sense and why?
Saying ‘Um’ More Frequently May Signal Cognitive Decline - :)

Historical Culture Question
I was hired about two years ago so I only know the cultural under this CEO and CEO leadership. Honest question for those who have been here for a decade or so - how does this culture compare to prior CEOs and leadership team? Better? worse? If different, then how?
GNT???
Anyone have any idea what's going to happen in GNT, specifically in the RF, System Performance, Equipment Engineering, Construction Engineering, Real Estate and Network Assurance groups? Dan says we must continue to have a good network but these teams are already stretched to the max.
Should Mike, George and John come back.
As chairman of Frontier.. does John Stratton come back?
Maybe Mike Lanman and George Fischer weren’t also so bad; compared to what we had the last decade?
Remember when the 10 points of the Credo were stuck on every wall, printed and stuck on every desk.
WFM Thursday
If you were told you “can” WFM…. Is that a good or bad thing??!!
Whatever happen to credo ?
Dishonesty and corporate greed?
Alaska Layoffs
Seems Alaska wasn’t hit as hard as other places.
Is the layoffs and re-org happening at the same time?
Are they going to layoff first then re-org at a later time? Or is everything happening simultaneously?
It could have been worse
It really could have been worse when you think about the numbers people were throwing around earlier, because there were plenty of conversations where folks talked about 20,000 cuts or even 29,000. I guess that makes 15,000 feel almost like the least awful version of the situation. Still bad, though.
Former Verizon employees
Hi, Verizon employee here. I have heard that many former Verizon employees went to T-Mo. If you are one of them, can you provide some insight into the similarities and differences? Not asking for specifics, just generalizations. Curious about how different we all are. I am former ATT and found both ATT and VZ to be pretty similar
