Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

U give Verizon thousands of dollars just for them to sh-- on you and disconnect your services. I used to love them now I only see them as money hungry snakes. They will tell you wat u want to hear and leave out all the hidden costs and fees. I'm truily sick of them. They wait for you to make a payment then cut off your service. #gottabeabetterway

What happened to this offer? Mid May still nothing from Att??

it sounds like we have to go there. I don t want to but we have to make an impact on them. it used to be "WE" now it s US and THEM. 39,000 less for Verizon. 39,000 more for att. I really don t know what the impact will be. we are losing 1500. dollars a week+ - MAYBE OUR JOBS. WHAT difference our cell phones are. America needs to see we care and will do what it takes. six people died in a house fire in Syracuse ny last week. those families need our help and prayers. in the big picture these jobs don t mean sh--.

Is this for real ??? I feel horrible for ALL STRIKERS!!!!! I support all IBEW AND CWA EMPLOYEES!!!! I'm up for Verizon contract AND want nothing to do with them! Shame on Verizon Corp!!!! Keep it in America SND TAKE CARE of your dedicated employees!!!!

hahaha totally went viral, 100 shares, hahaha

Does at&t know about this. Wishful thinking

I'm guessing this deal isn't true

A corporation that profits 1.5 BILLION Dollars on a consistent monthly basis is not seeing the big picture if they are expecting their workforce to go backwards in what they are awarded contractually. GREEDRIZON is not even interested in it's workforce maintaining the status quo. THAT'S DISGUSTUNG!

This is brilliant! Let's do everything we can to damage the company that provides our paycheck, holds our pension, and contributes to our retirement 401k account because we are at a temporary impasse!!

Hopefully we can drive them out of business!! We are SO smart!

Please do boycott all Verizon services. This includes our buildings and our health care. Stay away while we get used to doing your jobs and the replacements get trained. Please, stay away!

I have been a Veriizon employee for 27 years. They show display no appreciation, respect or loyalty to my fellow workers and I. I'm definitely looking into this deal and am seriously considering switching my 5 cellular lines from Verizon Wireless to AT&T wireless.

I retired during the last contract, But was the first to Boycott all "Verisuck" services. . . I did it on the first day of the strike. All unionized employees should BOYCOTT VERIZON SERZvICES. I would shop around for best deal, and switch over fast. It does not need to be AT&T. . . F--- VERIZON . . Pay no attention to their cancellation charges when they arrive. . .send them a nickel at a time, if you choose. They can't do a thing.

Why not switch? Verizon is not paying you while you are on strike, but yet you still give Verizon your money while on strike. I work for Verizon, but I have sprint. Unlimited data, no problem with service and less than half the price

28 shares, this post is going Viral

Good work AT&T

SPREAD THE WORD

@4vtb you tell him bro

To the anonymous Verizon management scab ,comparing ATT executives to Verizon executives saying there is no difference between the two shows what a spineless jellyfish you and the rest of Verizon managers are.You readily admit you are getting shafted everyday but you take it with a smile, so now you expect a strong union to do likewise, my advise to you, organise a union and maybe you will see some improvement in your life. Do you teach your children to be spineless as well?The big difference between Verizon executives and ATT , is ATT bargains with the CWA and agreed to a fair contract. You are such an imbecile if you were one I.q. point lower you would be a ward of the state licking screens in some institution. Maybe with some luck you can be reclassified and sterilised so the world will not have to endure your offspring

To the post that called the striking brothers and sisters "WHITNEY CRY BABIES" whatever that is. You're probably vz management by the looks of your superb spelling ability. First of all we aren't allowed to wear T SHIRTS. Second, keep your head buried in the sand as the middle class in this country disappears.You probably live in your parents basement. Third of all, go f--- yourself you low life subhuman.

I should of switched along time ago, Verizon has been screwing me for years but I stayed with them because of employee discount. Then I found out from other people who work outside of Verizon, they get the same discount. It's all a charade, so might as well switch to a company who is telling me the truth.

Thank you , I am passing this along to my union brothersand everyone is switching. Thank you for your support .

I like that some moron manager is trolling this message board. You think having morons working during the strike doing crap work unsafe work doesn't hurt the stock ? And yes if you look to hurt us we will do the same ! Have fun looking at the customer with that dumb hopeless look when your troubleshooting their trouble or installation work#thankyouAT&T#unionstrong#canyouhearmenow!#

sounds like a pipe dream trump would try to sell

I'm sure its coming anyday now

That was for Internet, where is the link for AT&T wireless

Ok , thanks for the advice.

@zpa

That discount was announced as a management only discount,not sure why.

I think all you Union geniuses should move your wireless service to ATT and other competitors, too. In fact, move your FiOS service too. Then, get your red smelly T Shirts and go work for ATT, as Verizon managers are sick of you, a bunch of Whitney babies. Get lost, losers!

We already get the same discount as wireless employees. Started January 2015, Management employees on the wireline side get it. Do associates get one too? Is 1zul not well informed or am I missing something.

1ktf , Your to ignorant to realize there is no one to blame for this but Verizon. They have proven they don't care. Haven't you read all these posts on here? Verizon lockout: Verizon wants to sell wireline: etc...... If they don't care and as many say we are going to lose our jobs then why should we care. Looks like we all will share in the pain.

We are on the landline side, no relation to wireless, right. So why would it matter if we switched. If they wanted our businesss give us the discount the wireless folks get. At times you have to make a stand, I know that's foreign to some of you.

Yea switch to at&t, put verizon Iin the toilet before you go back to work with your contract lol brilliant!

Too late, already did it. Then even gave me a free tablet and ROLLOVER data!

They got a contract, ATT CEO came up through the phone company, did you just learn something, BOOM.

I don't care what AT&T does now, they are smart enough to beat Verizon at their own game, Its a strategy and it help CWA and retires.

Yea like AT&T doesn't screw over their employees. Continuous surplusses at AT&T. Jobs being outsourced. Their ceo isn't any different than yours. Look up how much at&t execs make while they kick their hard working dedicated employees to the curb. Particularly ones with many years of service.

Don't forget the over 100,000 retires that are pissed at Verizon for screwing with their medical and selling their pensions to prudential, I am sure they would switch also.

Switched to T-Mobile here...couldn't be happier. Best deal out there and coverage just as good. Don't let anyone tell you they dont have the coverage.

Continue to kick me in the face, I don't mind. Every month I will write you a check.

Sincerely

Management

All is fair in the art of war. Why people even own one of these things instead of putting that money in savings and letting the power of compounded interest take affect is beyond me but the company cannot expect this kind of effort as has been done prior.

Dont feel guilty about shooting yourself in the foot and hurting your employer. Just remember your employer will film you while you work to try and suspend you they will take your healthcare in a week, they will try and force you from your family for months they wont bargain in good faith they try all day to fire you for the littlest things . hell you were the last utility to get air conditioning in your trucks. They even changed their symbol to waste more money while you were without a contract remember you only get four sick days. They hate your guts and hope you die !

Went to the AT&T corporate store in Shirley, Long Island, NY. We had a great experience with a union rep from CWA local 1101. I DUMPED VERIZON WIRELESS! JOIN THE REVOLUTION AGAINST CORPORATE GREED! SWITCH TO AT&T WIRLESS TODAY!
