If you all hate VZW so much. Get your resume together and get the hell out. Some of us have been here since the early 90's. Yes it has changed... no its not the company it once was. It's a job, I didn't know a job was much more than a job. Get over yourselves and grow up. If you have a paycheck than count your blessings in a country where layoffs seem to be the norm.

I would agree..anyone still around since the 90's like myself has a target on them. Making too much money and too old.. However I protect myself with my customers and sales volume. If they get rid of me I take my customer base, contacts, and their money right to the competition. This strategy has kept me employed longer than the OP. She will be gone unless she is a customer facing employee guaranteed. Easily replaced for a third of the salary by my daughter graduating from college this semester. The OP will not find another job no matter how good her resume or education that pays what she is making now.
@G0JTOOA - you've been around since the early 90's?? Get YOUR resume together - you won't be around much longer either.
I agree! I think he's a troll! I can't say because there are not many network locations! Lol. We probably have crossed paths if you have been there that long and that location I'm sure we have mutual associates!
The sad part. I really think he is just coming online to try to fire people up. He probably doesn't work for Verizon and never has! He comes on and says random crap and runs away! What location did you start at? I started in Morristown too many years ago!
I don't know about a role model! That comment by map was really funny! I'll meet at Panara too! Bring your daughter! Lol
@map. That was really funny! :-)
My daughter is in school for civil engineering! I know it is completely different but I am so happy when I meet more female engineers! My sister in law is a civil engineer and my daughter wants to be just like her! You may not even know it but your a great role model!!
Thanks! It was worth it. I went for electrical engineering so I could go anywhere. VZW payed for the majority of my degree. I haven't had any really issues with the company until the restructure. I am keeping my resume up to date and pushing it around just in case. I agree with what you said if people are that unhappy they should update the resume and move on. Why would you want to be somewhere you arn't happy?
FIGHT AT PANARA! In one corner we have the lesbian VZ lifer, in the other corner we have the sexist pig! Let's get ready to ruuummmblle!!!
Actually my fellow "lesbian" my background is in business management and criminal Justice. Verizon W gave me my masters! When my time is up here I was offered a job as a professor making a decent salary. I'm okay with that! I wish I had an engineering degree! Go you!!!
I'm the "lesbian" in network. Where do the rest of you work. You seem to be so smart? My degree is in engineering so I think I'm okay. How about you?
Yes troll I'm sure. I still want to meet you at Panara. But your still just a troll not a man.
Your just a puppet moving your ass only when asked by the unqualified management team at Verizon. You will never find another job outside of VZ.
It's obvious we're all here to blow off steam from the pressure cooker vz is
"Troll thread" from the p-ssy who calls woman in a man's world lesbians.
The difference between and you me. You have it pushed back and your using it for a tailpipe. My resume is always ready and out there. Nothing is ever safe. No job is guaranteed. What idiot would think it is. The only thing guaranteed is death and taxes. Put your big boy pants on.
Well said by1. The OP said she has been with Verizon since the 90's, so clearly she is very comfortable and knows nothing of anything other than working at Verizon.
OP when was the last time you looked for a job? If you're someone that has spent a significant amount of time here and experience is limited to work done here, it can be extremely difficult if not impossible to find something somewhere else without taking a significant pay cut. And i don't know about anyone else but in my paycheck to paycheck world, that is NOT an option. So here's an alternate plan for you OP -if you don't like what you read here, hows about you just get the f--- out.
The OP is a troll. This is the troll thread.
OP....U R A @$$!
We will NOT go quietly into the night
This is the same arrogant rhetoric used by coal mine owners in this country's recent history, when out and out dangerous working conditions existed. Also Henry Ford had the same belief "if you don't like how I run my factories then leave?" Had those mine workers and model T makers not stood up and fought for decent working conditions and wages this country would be one more economic and social backward $hit-hole, just like the Philippines, where there is no meaningful middle class, just a few selfish greedy super rich families suppressing the the rest of the entire country. Why else do you think The U.S. is overrun with Mexican & Philippino people? As a fact, not an opinion, they are the two largest nationalities clawing their way out of poverty by legally or illegally entering the U.S.
Make no mistake, poverty lies in America's future if Wall Street, and the likes of Verizon, succeed in breaking the back of this country's middle class. And what a glittering resume Wall Street has? Single handedly bankrupted the entire worlds economy to sate its own phucking greed. Gordon Gecko would be proud of you b'stard$.
We will NOT go quietly into the night.
I just read this thread. I in part agree with the original post. The man who referred to woman who work with men as "lesbians" ? Why, I have been in Network for a few years and this is a male dominated job. I love my job... does that make me a lesbian too? I have never had a problem with one man at our company. No man has ever made me feel out of place or inept. You must not really work for our company. You seem to be a troll.
So you were let go? What department do you work in! I'd love to meet you. You seem to have a mental disorder! My brother is a clinical psychiatrist I'd be happy to introduce you to him! You seem to need help.
Wow since the early 90s, on the job you would be my bitch
A chat about what? Why some poor bastard wod knock you up?
Silence from the sexist-prejudice pig!
Some woman prefer to be in a man's world. I hope your not raising daughters because your a sexist pig who obviously has no respect for woman. If your in NJ we should meet up in a Panara and have a chat!
You are lucky to have a job especially since you can't even spell we're...
Actually I took a day off. One of my many days off so I could take my kid to the doctors. Whiney Millenial.
Keep blaming everyone but yourself. Wow! She's right were lucky to have jobs.
That is unfortunate you are a female in a man's world. Unless you are a lesbian. Your obviously not a hard worker because you are on here during business hours instead of being Lowell's good little worker bee.
Moron how could I be a millenial if I have been with the company since the early 90's. I was there before it was Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile. Stop being a whiner! Do your job or quit. I'm still not management and you don't see me being a crybaby!
Unfortunately I am a female. Non leader... non manager who is not stupid enough to not appreciate what I have. Your probably stupid millenials who don't realize what it is like out there in the real world. It sucks and some of us are just happy to still have a paycheck. Some of us are happy to have a 401k . Some of us don't think anyone owes us anything because we were raised in a generation where we actually work and accept what life is. Work daily...pay bills.. take care of your kids and stop bitch in and moaning that our problens are because of someone else. I'm a woman and I'm manning up more than you whiney little boys.
Oh? Finally, one of the leaders posted on here. Is that McDumba$$ or Shamwow? Or is it just one of Dago's millenial retards. This scab said layoffs are the norm so maybe it's a millenial.
