Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

@k1 Not a manager but believe what you want. Those two that were written up were 11 and 14 year FTE's that were let go last week. Good times!

@j0 Wrong! It’s decided by the employee.. stop being a micro manager. Everyone hates you and you know it

@OP Report what?? It's not a policy, it's a perk that Verizon allows if the job duties allow! At the end of the day the days you work from home are decided by the manager! We had 2 individuals written up in our group because they thought they could ignore the manager! Quit crying and go back to the office! This WFH has made people soft I swear!

How many days working from home and in the office in the end is dictated by the departments manager. If he/she says you work 5 days a week you work 5 days a week and HR will back him/her. My department just went through that and multiple individuals was written up because he/she thought because VZW said they could they could ignore what his/her manager required him/her to do. So, with another looming layoff in the future I think I would go the office when I'm told or bounce.

@ep makes sense - the more people they can force to leave without payoff the better.

Joke's on them - I do even less in the office and that stationary won't steal itself! :)

Mandatory 4 days in the office coming this summer. Watch.

We have a micromanager as well on our end that now gets mad when collaborating with other ADs or managers, so I understand your pain @OP

@ay I can't say as I'm playing an elaborate game of hide and seek!!

I wish I was joking

ethics line .... I mean you can try but obviously the ethics committee is not always very useful

@aa company policy is 3 days in the office in the US…which lucky team are you in then?

Is that company policy? (not having to specify the day you're in). The part of Verizon I work for the Senior Director has set out Wednesday as the day everyone must be in and then choose a 2nd day.
