Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

I just got hired by Verizon!

Systems Dev role. Nice pay package and signing bonus. In my 20s, so not likely to cost the company money like the fat, sick, aging boomers. Just get them out of the building aready. Sooo depressing to have to look at them.

To the supposed brokeass 43-yr-old, @3nsj, you too are an obvious troll, so it’s become the battle of the trolls.

Wanna know the giveaway young man. While you say, “...Think of me as the woman who told you your attitude will get you fired douche...”, had you some wisdom, and even a glancing familiarity with the fairer gender, you would realize your claim of being a woman is cast into definite doubt because you use language that I have never heard a lady use (i.e., b--ch, scumbag a--, douche, I can make you squeal like a pig...”)

The other giveaway that shows you’re a wet behind the ears kid is your presumption that $220k, minus the amount lost in paying off a mortgage, after 1/2 a lifetime’s toiling, is a sturdy financial footing.

“I’m only 43. I’m walking out of this place with 220k...”

Between your frozen pension, your 401k, and your VSP, you’re leaving with less than a quarter mil? And your bragging? You’re likely past the mid-life point, at least statistically.

I’m not sure I would be bragging of that “accomplishment” were I in your moccasins, unless you’re in the South. If so, congratulations.

“This "funny" person posted to get people to jump and respond.” - @4jzk

And, it apparently worked on you, dope.

Stop feeding the troll.

Everytime this thread begins to die down, the troll lobs a provocation, and the @4jzk’s of the world oblige his need for attention.

Your wife was happy you took the job. She was sick of looking at your lazy a$$ on the couch. That and it gives her and I more time to fill her needs.

@WCRGz0d-1pod - Trolls are cowards. They will never show their faces which is probably a good thing for everybody concerned!

Us old folks made more money working for VZ then you will ever see. You were brought in because you were cheap, not because you’re any good. Please be sure to post future selfies while sitting on a conference call during your vacation.

VZ owns your naive a$$.

What is so improbable about a signing bonus? I received a five-figure bonus when I joined as a band6 two years ago.

I suspect the Op has a hidden agenda in that silly post, that of provocateur.

Yet 22 responders, so far, have fallen for it.

Never feed a troll!

For future reference, hints this guy’s a troll:

Claims a supposed “Nice pay package”, but then says “...not likely to cost the company money like the fat, sick, aging boomers”. My bet is, if this were a “real” individual, his ignorance in all things telecom would likely cost the company far more dearly, via mistakes, lack of connections, lack of trust, and missed opportunities. You get what you pay for in seeking out the lowest common denominator.

Claims a “signing bonus”. Chuckle 🙄.

Describes mature seasoned professionals as:

Fat - troll bait.

Sick - troll droppings.

Aging - well, that’s true of us, him, and everyone.

Depressing to look at - not nearly as difficult as witnessing the misguided impetuousness of a youngblood, who are about to have his nose repeatedly bloodied by ignorance and missteps, that will cost the company untold sums.

Any chance we could, going forward, ignore this fool, and leave him here to respond to himself in a bid to desperately revive this stupid thread?

Welcome!!!

Us old timers get to pick our hours. My manager let's me choose my 60 hours. He says weekends are mine! I can work the hours I want on Sunday.

You young kids can do 70 hours a week ?

Right?

"I just got hired by Verizon!"

Verizon still doesn't hire people to play online games, in their grandmother's basement.

But if having a fantasy about actually working for a living gets you through the day -- go for it.

Op, not to intelligent , picking a company that has as many issues as Verizon. There are better companies out there. It tells many you lack Knowledge. You're going nowhere fast.

Good luck. Don’t make plans for this weekend, or any other weekend. Make sure you keep your concession phone close at hand 24x7 so you can respond to escalations within 10 mins. Lastly, learn to live with your salary cuz the most you’re ever getting are raises that peg slightly below the rate of inflation. Oh, I wouldn’t bank on your bonus paying out at 100% either.

Do you really believe a young person just landed a decent job and immediately seeks an obscure layoff website to gloat?

Enjoy all that work we’re leaving behind while taking all the knowledge along with us.

It’s a good thing you’re young so you have the energy for all that unpaid OT you’ll be expected to put in to meet project deliverables.

Hope you don’t have PC or Mac problems, good luck getting a timely resolution come January.

Oh, and don’t forget... change is energizing.
