Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

I have had wonderful HRBPs over my years here who have helped me out tremendously in times of need. They have largely been replaced by HR answers which is a dumpster fire.

Blame the policies and cost savings, not the individuals, there are a few good ones left still working hard to fill the gaps left behind by their peers replaced by foreigners and AI.

The policies have always been BS, what some are able to get away with is sickening while others get let go for inflexible policies that should be replaced by arbitrary decisions. A rep who gets sick at the wrong time gets fired while the rep next to them who is adding BYOD lines without telling the customer goes to winners circle.

TalentWorks is another thing that needs to go on VBG

HR is full of DEI hires. They are awful. They never have the ba*ls to make a decision which is why it takes years to get rid of dead weight. Meanwhile, others are let go in RIF's who are much more deserving of employment than the people they are scared to let go.

get caught stealing inventory, opening fraudulent accounts, etc. no problem at Verizon

Personally I love it , hr isn’t for the reps it’s for us management get it through your head either comply or find another job

Agreed . Not what it used to be
