Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

I wonder what the South Asian mafia thinks about 9/11?

For all of you too young to remember the New York Stock Exchange reopened in 5 days, after all telecommunications in the area was disrupted. It was a giant FU to those who tried to end our way of life. Management, union - it didn't matter. They worked round the clock to make it happen, in the worst possible conditions. For years I'd meet one of those guys and they would be rock stars to me. They were America strong and they showed the world - before the first MLB game, before the first anything. Then they went on to build the best cellular nextwork. This is the company floundering today. Say anything rude about those times or those people and you are why.

@OP I was there. After 26 years, Verizon threw me away like a number on Dan Schulman’s spreadsheet. So spare me the “one V Team” garbage. Dan invokes the courage and sacrifice of employees from 9/11 while gutting the workforce and destroying morale. Their legacy is real. His words are corporate bullsh-t.

I worked in Manhattan. My job didn't allow me to run to the crisis, but I came in the next day when everyone else couldn't to do what I could. It was a far different company back then. When the NYSE opened that Monday the pride was palpable. And yes, RiFed.

Lots were laid off after that te---r attack management and associates

@ab Thank you.

F the down voters on this forum.

@ab So just curious. These guys should never ever be laid off ? Probably paid very handsomely at the time. And, it’s always about the money. And , I am from NYC and witnessed it.

I responded, with two other engineers from the Midwest market. Sad to say, but, You have a better outlook then the company does. Those two were both laid-off and their jobs sent to India, to save Verizon money. It is not about American Pride for the company, it is about money, and that is how they were paid back for running to a crisis!
