No I am not. I was an engineer before I retired and I dealt with all three and it wasn't even close. Those two positions can be eliminated. They are dispatched through their tablets. Construction foreman where I worked had a hell of a lot of responsibility. Not as much as I did but quite a lot. I left on my own because every time someone was riffed in my area I got the privelidge of taking their areas over. Scumbag was too scared to delegate work to others because he was afraid they would leave. Well slick you just pushed the best engineer out the door. No brag just fact. I love being retired. Went on two fishing trips this summer . Good luck to all of you still working.

We have a guy in w pa that enjoys firing 1st level foreman and union workers.

Harassment is his speciality.

I&M and sys tech supervisors you are correct. Those titles have been worthless for 20 years. Construction foreman different story.

Our garage was one of the three. He was most likely canned for his advanced age. He was promptly replaced by a younger ex-military guy who knows little about the craft but verizon prefers youthfulness in garages...

Eliminating management = downsizing?

Management is barely feasible due to technological advances. Truth is, Verizon can't downsize until August 2019 when the contract expires. Then they can downsize all they want to.

No offense but first levels are jokes anyway. Supervisors can be replaced by tablets and GPS units.
