Anyone know the plan for VCG Ops? Based on some reorg emails it seems like retail and CS OPS have been officially combined under the same umbrella creating even more redundencies or were taking a second stab at OPOO
Pulse Survey All Zeros
Leave all zeros for Pulse. get your leadership fired before they lay you off! dont listen to the people who say otherwise. those are likely bad leaders who are afraid of being downvoted
SpaceX/ Starlink threat to legacy carriers
Anyone with half a brain knows that Starlink is no longer just a rural internet fix. With 9.2 million paying customers ($10B in annual rev), and direct-to-cell satellites already working on standard smartphones, SpaceX is building a parallel network... — read more
Pulse Survey
Anyone else on here just gave the lowest score for every answer ?? I hope this is confidential if not I’ll be targeted for being honest and what layoffs have done to my morale
Anyone else receive the email “Help us recognize your tech contributions”
Looks like some workgroups received an email with the above title. They are launching some AI-Enabled Activity Summary and we’ll have to audit against what the AI activity generates. Was curious to hear others thoughts who received this email?
Don't leave forwarding details
Laid off a couple of months ago. On my last day I left a leaving note, thank you, wish you well etc and also my new email address and cell #. Got a call from my old boss last week. Started off asking me how I was doing etc and then had the gaul to... — read more
Post Shankar GTS
Shankar was the oxygen that all GTS mafia was breathing. I am wondering how’s the situation there now.. Is the promotion and hiring still based on favoritism? How about layoffs? Probably still saving friends and family over talent.
Another week, another chance for more cuts
Small, big, who even cares anymore? Welcome to the joys of being employed at Verizon!
Next RIF: August 7, 2026
121 people, NJDOL WARN Notice as of last month: https://www.nj.gov/labor/assets/PDFs/WARN/2026_WARN_Notice_Archive.pdf
Verizon Made An Oopsies
Whoops. We sent someone a replacement device and then wiped it because it was flagged as a demo phone in our system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UKliRxYI14
How many offices are still open
Besides basking ridge and hidden ridge, how many people still have offices to report to for GNT? So sub markets still have hub offices? I think it’s ridiculous those that live near office have to go in 3 days week and some people are fully remote... — read more
Want the stock to rise?
Want a huge bump to the stock price? Offer a package to the union side of the business. I believe many associates would take the offer!
I doubt Verizon stock goes to $75
Dan will never get stock price to $75. Verizon is $175 billion in debt, paying $8-$9 billion per quarter in interest payments. Not only that, technology is moving fast, which means the next telco displacing newcomer is waiting on the wings. Verizon... — read more
VZ Stock will never see $75 per share
Dan will never get stock price to $75. Verizon is $175 billion in debt, paying $8-$9 billion per quarter in interest payments. Not only that, technology is moving fast, which means the next telco displacing newcomer is waiting on the wings. Verizon... — read more
VCG
I’m hearing rumors again… Anyone with real knowledge know if VCG reps will be impacted or just upper management?
Abdu Mudesir Impact
Looking at this hand picked replacement by Dan, if I were any of Russo’s direct reports particularly those with duplicative roles I would be VERY worried. It’s time to clean out the 30+ year VZ leaders in GN&T and get some fresh perspective - it’s... — read more
Lack of Vz C Level Accountability
It really is amazing the lack of C Level /VP level of accountability over the years. AOL, RedBox, bluejeans and now $47M FCC location privacy. For years employees drilled on CPNI. Board d Member sats Hans needed to be fired immediately after 8... — read more
How should I approach my manager about volunteering for the next RIF?
How should I approach my manager about volunteering for the next RIF? I won't go into too much detail here, but I have been incredibly miserable since they moved me to a new role after the first wave of VSP in 2024. It's a role I never would have... — read more
Make your boss look good!
Making your boss look good is a time-tested strategy for climbing the corporate ladder at all companies not just Verizon. It doesn’t matter if they’re incompetent, or dishonest, or a je-k. Try to accomplish whatever goal they’re being graded on in... — read more
Pulse, how many are being real?
How many are actually giving the bad feedback in your pulse surveys? Are you giving the real, or just leaving the boxes open?
SCHULMAN HAS GOT TO GO part II
Wow. Have you seen this? I just saw it. They’re talking about it all over—everyone is talking about it. Dan Schulman, the guy from Verizon. Great company, by the way, very big, very powerful, though frankly, the signal in Mar-a-Lago could be better... — read more
Activity Tracking
Heard wind of activity tracking being implemented on PCs sometime next week
Rambling and vague job descriptions
One of the most frustrating things about searching for a new job is the rambling and vague job descriptions. You typically have to wade through two long paragraphs describing how absolutely awesome the company is and how they’ve revolutionized their... — read more
SpaceX IPO
How many of you think that SpaceX will eat telecom business? Hard days ahead
Raise your hand
How many of you wish they were laid off already?
We are capable of getting new opportunity
Guys when we are capable of doing great things then why should we stay here? I literally felt employees here are value less. A lot of changes, every email from Dan seems to be like " Thank you for the work you done till now " . Had already started my... — read more
We are being too hard on Dan Schulman
Maybe we have been too hard on Dan. He has been walking a tightrope since he entered the role. Verizon is struggling as a company, and you can’t expect leadership to be fully transparent because that could create panic and trigger a stock selloff... — read more
Verizon is in 175 billion in debt
Verizon is burning through CASH faster than the revenue we are bringing in and after expenses,its public information… if Dan doesnt change this ship around fast this company is going under faster than we all think.thats why everyone panicking at the... — read more
Who’s next?
How long before Kyle announces his “retirement”? It’s a matter of time.
FINALLY. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Sam
The worst of the EVPs. Mrs "look at me smiling into the camera while I announce the most condescending and heartless changes I could think of". Good riddance.
SAYONARA CHRO
you and your post-its won't be missed, you absolute feather brain
Use Verizon like they use you, SMB
Verizon Business Group is riding its managers until their legs fall off. They’ve turned this department into the USSR. Every call is monitored down to the second, including time between calls. At this point, Verizon Business should be viewed as a... — read more
Leave Verizon and save yourself ( Mass resignation)
This company is literally thinking it can operate the daily works and tasks much easily without employees. Leadership doesn't care about employees. When there is no value to employees then what is the reason behind working here. Need mass... — read more
Verizon forgot to pay light bill in Florida
Does anyone have more info about Verizon not paying their light bill for an office in Florida? This is an operating expense that should never be overlooked and it’s really concerning. Is Verizon having liquidity problems, lack of oversight, and or a... — read more
How is the RTO policy
Hello How is the RTO policy now ? Asking for a friend. I heard like a month back the the new CEO don't care much about coming to office and many ppl stopped coming to office as less as once a month?
Sink the Pulse Survey
We have a fearless leader that is constantly threatening our jobs. Now he is going after our vacation time that we earned. SINK THE PULSE SURVEY! Make him wake up from his coffee slurping delusional mindset.
VIVEK, can you hear me now == RESIGN!!!
Disgraceful!!! Please do the dignified thing and RESIGN as soon as possible!!! Get your severance package and leave the premises...........
So Glad Russo is gone!!!
Well we can hate Dan but one thing he did good is to get rid of the Mafia like Russo, Cox and VPs under them. It needs to be cleaned up and ofcourse Sampath who literally destroyed VZ causing all the churn. I hope now he get rid of useless GN&T VPs... — read more
