Seems like more people are praying for voluntary or involuntary layoffs than for them not to happen.

I love working for Verizon. Stop pretending things are so bad. The pay and benefits are great. I like the challenging work. All you complainers, please find another company to work for.
@vp Why does management look at you in an meeting when EISP mentioned like being judged for working because you do not make managers money. They claim it's voluntary, but they want You to leave.
I’m happy to stay. I’d rather have an uninspiring job than no job.
@d4 Nah, I think VZ is getting up to speed on all the people they had who sat around doing nothing and were getting paid an obscene amount of money and now those people are crying because the party is over.
@aw I think you have the causality backwards: Verizon has gone way down hill and then the whining here intensified
@a8 100% agree. I don't see the whining in my department that I see here. This site has gone way down hill.
I’m staying. Where else can I do nothing, WFH and get paid. Can you hear me now? Good.
I've been here for many years, retirement eligible but too young to actually retire-retire. There were many times that I prayed the rif would bypass me, and it did. The 3 VSPs over the years were tempting - real tempting.
Now, I'd gladly take it either. Why?
Leadership focus is misdirected at the hands of Dan - AI, AI, AI. It's not about the people anymore. Don't get me wrong, I've seen AI tools created that makes lives easier here; I've seen people learn and get real creative. But in the end, leadership won't look at the person that created it, but rather the tool itself. The shear lack of engagement and hyper-focusing on AI speaks volumes. Aside from the quarter meetings for either the survey or results review - crickets.
They say grass is greener elsewhere. Maybe.
Does VZ pay to beat you up. Absolutely.
I've seen people try everything to stay, but there is nothing available. I've seen people not even try - they were ready to move on.
The way things are - I think most people are just tired of the leadership cr-p, and just want out with a financial cushion until the next job comes along.
i am staying! my boss is an amazing and kind person who overshares his persona like and and puts us all into a group text message conversations using our personal numbers so we can be a part of his life! people here are so mean but he is a nice guy and sends us pictures of his kids like we GAF (no one does). remedial kids with learning disabilities like he is!
@a6 Agree. It’s a job, whatever you do here. Some of it su-ks and some of it doesn’t. There are just a ton of whining bi--hes on here.
Yes.... Dan & Alphonso
I enjoy working for the company. It's hard at times, but when I log in, I'm met with a lot of good people who make me happy to be there with them. While there are a lot of things I would change including increasing compensation, instead of the 1 to 3% yearly increases, I enjoy what I do and the people I work with. I hope others have the same feelings too. Also, invest in your future with the Roth 401K option.
