I do the bare minimum, and I get treated exactly the same as people who go above and beyond and have practically traded their lives for work. Why would I leave? Where else am I going to find a deal like that? And before you all come at me with hate, ask yourselves who's really responsible for creating that mindset.

Impacted in the latest RIF here, and I completely agree. Leaving with my head high and happily taking the package. Doing 'AI' at Verizon wasn't real AI work, and I was stalling professionally, so I'm glad to be moving on. Still, you can't deny it was a sweet setup with cushy job, easy bonus, and why almost nobody quits on their own
This is about 95% of the employees they kept after the Nov RIF.
@be you sound like our Ops manager here at Hidden Ridge. If not, you keep the same schedule
Written like a Sr Director in Consumer
@c0 Hope you were getting paid for those 12 hours. Otherwise, you were part of the problem
I was the one working 12 hr days and trading my life and my family life for my career at Verizon (I loved my job). Ultimately, they RIFd me and just transferred my work to others on the team. I think the harder I worked, it just put a big red target on my back. So you might have the right work / life balance strategy.
Thats what I tell those who are left - dont complaint. Do the bare minimum and go home
This is the most honest post yet on this site. You are not alone, I guarantee you that. Some people who are trading their lives with extra work, it is an attempt to climb the corporate ladder - good for them!
I am in Texas but won’t say where. I basically go to office 3 days a week from 9 to 4. Never on mondays and fridays cause I work in a family business these other days. No supervision so I am making the best of it my staff never asks so I don’t tell them where I am. Life is good!!! Go big red
me too and I just got a raise.Every year for about 40 years now.
Obviously upper management.
Obviously the union!
That is exactly what I would do. You are spot on with that.
