Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

When your subconscious finally catches up with your conscious

Well V Teamers, I think it finally clicked for me today. I have been talking sm--k about vzw on this board, other boards and to friends/family for about a year. Yet I was still going above and beyond while working and actively sending feedback on system improvements. Today something happened as I was reading up on some OSTs my in down time to remember some policies and procedures that are not too common. I found something that has caused issues for customers, and I was able to think of a solution. I started to draft a submission for the employee feedback tool and about halfway into my second sentence, I closed the document, didn't save it and closed the OST. I then went to our engagement slack and participated in one of the many pointless activities that they have for us. This is unusual for me as I typically thought these activities took time away from work with no real reward besides imaginary points you can spend on useless merch.

It was just so bizarre that it stuck with me hours after my shift ended. I think my subconscious finally caught up to all the sm--k talk I have done when I was heated. It doesn't feel like weight has been lifted off my shoulders but for some reason I just feel like I let go of something heavy. Like something in my head just clicked and said why bother it's not my job to find these issues in policy/procedure and fix them.

Has anyone experienced something like this while working for vzw or anywhere else? I just feel like I no longer have the drive to improve my work and my work experience at least with vzw. I'm not sad or happy about it. It just has me thinking, and I can't seem to process it. Any insight would be appreciated.

Not sure if it was coming back from the last EWA to my nonsense job or watching someone join my team and not even bother showing up to work or do anything for a few years waiting for the VSP that did it. Somewhere it just pushed me out of being whatever a vteamer is to just not get fired mode.

Worked for this company for almost 10 years and the systems never get better. Always issues, always been a thorn in my side working there. They'd update it and make it look different but then it still had a million problems. My suggestion is to quit. Best thing I ever did for myself is get out of this God awful company

Yeah, happened right around the time Hans came on board or shortly after.

Ya, in 2009 after surviving a few Riffs in prior years.
Went back to school, got a master's and moved around every few years in the same department when I could.
Still here...

My bad, let me simplify it for you. Verlison is strong, tight pants, etc. There was that enough for your tiny brain to understand?

Just make sure that the 'Do nothing' actions don't become who you are. You don't want to take that habit with you into your next job. From what it sounds like, your skills are not valued at VZ. Hopefully you are actively looking for a better fit.

You're not alone. My team and I have provided feedback about system issues over and over again. Nothing changes. We have time to change our bill format, we have time to add in useless ai bots, but we can't even get our NBS to accurately predict bills. We are told to send them a live review yet it's wrong 90% of the time. Yes customer, please agree to this even though it's wrong!!?? Makes no sense. Keep your head up.
