another Saturday night alone? Maybe I'll swing by and pick up your girlfriend and take her out to a nice dinner and dancing while you're out walking around in circles in the rain or on your knees for the union boss.

I'm union and have two Masters thanks to TA with no college debt at all. I'm the guy you fear. I'm the guy who has bonafide tech skills AND is more educated than you. So who is more marketable buddy?

Enjoy your loneliness.

Awwwww, ubv, does it hurt your itty bitty union feelings that women (aka non mechanically inclined chicks) are out in the field doing your job with absolutely no problems? Enjoy fishing today...I hope you catch enough to feed your family...

You Union scrubs talk smack like a bunch of 1st graders and act with a education level as them too.

Same Ole crap. Go to bed, it's going to be a rough 12 hours again. Make your calls back home scab.

Can you come uo with anything original. Its pathetic.

I didnt go anywhere this time, but i enjoyed Manhattan last time. Making OT, seeing the sites, and sleeping good at the Marriott.

Honestly I've been giving sh-- for the reaction. In all truth I don't mind working one bit for VZ, I don't mind doing EWA, and I don't care if you get or don't get a contract. I do however have no real ill will on anyone and hope everyone comes out on the up and up. I just want it to be through capitalism not socialism. I hate nothing more than this scam that all these executives are going home and swimming in there Scrooge McDuck money while screwing the poor. It's just not true and kills the American dream. It's like if you work hard and get rich, there will be some evil socialist pig there to take what you earned.

Well this has been just a little slice of heaven gentlemen, but I'm finished with you. After all the nice back and forth, we basically ended up where we started. I have a job, insurance, benefits, and an education. And in the interim, I'm making an insane amount of money doing virtually nothing. You on the other hand have no job, no benefits, no health insurance, no education and nothing in life to look forward to other than being on your knees for the union bosses and climbing through basements like a rat. Be sure to explain to little Guido why he can't ride his bike or play baseball any more because if he gets hurt, the free clinic isn't open til Monday. So to reiterate the moral of the story: I win. You lose.

I'm making the monthly equivalent of $380,000 while doing EWA. These paychecks make me wish I could work 18 hours a day instead of 12.

The union, on the other hand, is making ZERO dollars and has no benefits.

Please keep the strike going another month or two. PLEASE! :)

"And not just doors to basements like you open"

Come on, you couldn't figure out how to do something as simple as that, which is why they have you in the call center and some non-mechanically inclined chick taking your place out in the field.

You don't seem to have many marketable skills because if you did, you'd be home right now, like Marc Reed, Lowell McAdam, Bob Mudge, etc.

Some of those hotels have game rooms...they can be fun, and take your mind off of home for a little while, Try and get a warm glass of milk, it helps with getting to sleep.

"Claim to fame? Please! This is the least eventful time in my life. Right now just cashing big checks."

And so are the EWAs, without those marketable skills and degree of education you supposedly have.

So you got an MBA for nothing, as they are making what you are making right now lol So they "won" over you essentially. You wasted your time getting an MBA apparently.

You'd think someone as highly educated as you would be working for a company that would have you home right now on a Friday night Nope. They apparently didn't want you. I can clearly see why.

Maybe I'm in a hotel, sure but where are you? Sitting at the computer next to a pile of past due bills. Just go back to work, it's not a big deal. Don't let the Union boss you around. They had there time and place but they're outdated.

Oh bud, please stop trying to come at me. It's just getting sad now. See, how it works outside of a union shop is: the company pays you to do a job. If you don't want to do the job, you can quit. See, that's called choice. Unlike union trash who aren't allowed to think for themselves, the rest of us can actually choose whether or not we want to do it. If we don't, we simply leave and find another job. Because we have the education and experience to open doors for us. And not just doors to basements like you open. So see bud, I actually choose to do this, and will make as much as I can in the interim. Then afterwards, I'll take my pile of cash and my really nice RIF package and go do something else. All the while, you are walking in circles in the rain because you were told to and you have no choice. Hate to point this out yet again but, I win. You lose.

Well if you really "won" for all intents and purposes, you'd be home relaxing on a Friday night with your family.

We keep telling you that and you keep trying to punch your way out of a paper bag.

And you still haven't told us your "skills" lol

You should be an entrepreneur or like a venture-capitalist or something lol.

Instead you work in a cubicle for Verizon, soon to replaced by an H1-B from India.

For someone so confident in their career, skills, education, business savvy, etc. you sure look like a hypocrite or a downright fool (or just downright stupid) having the EWA as your claim to fame.

Wow, you really have some low, smarmy aspirations & standards.

But, unlike you I choose to be where I am right now. I'll do this for as long as possible because the upside is just too much to pass up. I can work tomorrow, or I can quit and go home. See, I have the choice. Unlike you. You can keep trying to come at me, but every time you do, it just proves yet again that I win. You lose. All you have to look forward to is walking in circles in the rain, slowly going bankrupt, watching your kids do without health insurance, and losing the respect of your family because you let them down. And, when the big "win" the union promises you is coming finally happens, then all you can look forward to is a meaningless job of climbing through mud and basements for the rest of your life until you're too old to do it any longer and you get to live on government cheese for retirement. And yet again, I win. You lose!

The Union has your nuts and tells you exactly what to do. Bunch of punks and I hope Verizon never lets you back unless you cross the line. Otherwise go work somewhere else. Oh wait no one else will pay you the money you're making for your skills or you would have left.

Verizon trained you and made you, now you're biting the hand that feeds you!

"I'm sure you will eventually get to come back to work to climb through basements like a rat."

Seriously: Is that what you tell a plumber or electrician who comes to work in your house, fix your wiring, etc., in order to charge/power your laptop in order for you to watch your porn? Why are you such an elitist snob?

Come on, you couldn't figure out how to get a ladder off of the truck, so they put you in the call center right? You're bitter that an 89 lb. skinny chick was able to do it, but you couldn't right? She knew the difference between a Phillips and regular slot screwdriver, right? She totally out-maned and embarrassed you, huh?

If you were really educated and knew how the economy worked, you'd be with your family right now, relaxing at home on a Friday night, working for an innovative, unique and values-driven company.

That type of company doesn't/didn't want you.

VZ is perfect for you actually. Very fitting.

Hahaha that actually made me laugh. I'll give you a point for humor. But, it doesn't negate the fact that I have a job and insurance. Unlike you, I can find another job and won't be crawling through mud the rest of my life. Unlike you, I can take care of my family and not have someone else dictate my future. Unlike you, I have an education. Unlike you, i win. You lose. I'll gladly take my 35 weeks of severance and the insane amount of money I'll make during EWA and go enjoy my life making more than you can even comprehend. See, for me it's all upside. For you, it's all about what you're losing. That includes your family, your insurance, your self respect. While I simply cash it all in and whistle off into the sunset. Now, don't feel too bad. I'm sure you will eventually get to come back to work to climb through basements like a rat. But as always, I win. You lose. Hahahahahaha!!!!

These leftist Union thugs just sound like idiots! You literally choose to walk and now you want to call and harsh management for making some money doing your lame work. How about you stop being fascist jackasses. Either work for the offer of go away. Just plain evil socialist that have no education or understanding how the economy works.

Bunch of cry babies with their panties in a wad! I'm not scared of these shifts, the work, or your lame insults and weak picketing efforts.

Oh, and there's about 500 million in India that have the same "marketable" skills as you.

And they will replace you here, at your next job and so on and so on.

So much for your marketable skills.

But hey, that's the culture you seem to be advocating.

Be careful what you wish for.

But that's what you did prior to April 13th anyway silly. And on a side note, they'll find an H1-B visa from Pakistan to take away your job duty of typing in some numbers onto a spreadsheet.

Only difference is in your zeal to tell us how much of manly-man you are, you just implicated yourself, to the world and to your wife what a girly-girl you really are, being so afraid of some rain drops lol. You going to take your heels off in the morning & sprint for the call-center door in the morning so your dress won't get wet?

Sheesh, what a wuss.

Man, back at it with the RIF stuff now. You guys are just so original with your 3 standard insults. Like any management employee on here doesn't know they'll be RIF'd any time. Great thing is we have marketable skills and can get another job. We can go out and negotiate for a job ourselves. No need to pay someone else to do a poor job at it like you guys and your union "leaders".

That's nice that she has insurance for now. Until she gets tired of your lazy butt and decides she wants to be with a real man who isn't afraid to work and support his family. Well at least the divorce won't cost you too much. Half of nothing is still nothing lol. I could keep this up all night, but you need to get some sleep bud. Those signs aren't going to walk themselves around in a circle now are they? Enjoy walking around in the rain tomorrow. I'll be inside nice and dry making a nice little chunk of change doing nothing. Hey, maybe I really am union after all lol. As always, I win. You lose.
