Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

There is no stability in Verizon

There is no problem complaining about a company like Verizon that treats both customers and employees like crap. I having nothing positive to say about my former employer and hopefully there are thousands of complainers like me who will hurt Verizon. Because they deserve to go down.

You think there is stability at Verizon? Nothing is farther from the truth. But keep kissing your managers a$$ as you have already admitted and maybe you can end your misable career there. Or maybe you won't. I would say the odds are not in your favor.

Verizon was a great company when i started. Pay was good, benefits were good and we had good leadership. The exact moment everything started going downhill is when that jackass Mcadam became the CEO. From there it was layoffs after layoffs, quotas increasing like crazy, job descriptions changing and workload increasing. I get it businesses are here to make money i know that we all know that, but seriously enough was enough im not just some Joe nobody that clocks in for 8 hours to work myself to death for less money i made the previous year. Frontline workers are the reason that a--hole has the bonus he does, the frontline is the reason the company is in the position its in today. Show some damn respect and take care of your employees. Verizon workers deserve better.

Shame they don't realize it themselves.......

I worked at Verizon and was laid off (RIF) as well. Despite the fact I could probably tell a lot of cowboy stories as well and be negative, I make a deliberate choice not to do so as I know it hurts the people still working there who depend on Verizon to pay their mortgages and kids study.

Fact is everything will become digital and software defined, 5G and other future wireless technologies will replace wireline, so the bottom line is that the whole telecommunications industry will be downsizing on people like hell and it is not going to stop. My prediction is within this and 5 years another 50% will be cut. Just like in banking and insurance. Don't be negative, it is the price our society pays for digitization.

"Verizon was a great company when i started."

Times have changed. Competition has gotten crazy. You can't survive if you do things the way they were back when most of us started. Wal Mart used to be a great place to work many years ago but with competition, things went south after a while. There are some companies that manage to keep things great, but the ones I know are in growing industries.

Seidenberg started the slide when he froze management first and second level pensions in 2006. These cowards did it to management but didn't do it to the Union. That was the start of no respect for first level managers and the riffing went full on from there. I left this dump when I had the chance and made my exit count. Total scumbags.
