STI
When do we get pay sheets?
No Super Bowl commercials. Again.
T mobile had two commercials, all the big plays - apple, google, meta, coke, had their ads. We used to have the best ads. This is so disappointing.
RTO to get rid of customer service reps, contractors to replace techs. No more union!!
This would be amazing!
Verizon donated $1M to Trump
I’m sure they also donated to Democrats but they should have just stayed politically agnostic. https://apple.news/ARge5pM4sR1q1Vhka7H550g Their political money should go to employees suffering through 3% yearly raises.

VBG finance webcast re: RTO
On the VBG finance webcast, someone asked about RTO changes. Our leader basically said there is no change as of now, and that we have been productive from home. But that you "can tell which way the wind is blowing" on this topic.
VBG P&M kickoff 2/4
Just watched our VBG Product & Marketing kickoff 2/4. Interesting that our leader Iris Meijer doesn't speak much, but delegates to her leaders to share the priorities and results. She doesn't even answer questions in the Q&A. What does she really do?... — read more

WARNING
for employees part of the 2024 voluntary layoff, are your wages a lot higher on your W2?
When downloading my W2 from the work history site, I see that my wages are significantly higher than they should've been for last year. Is it because they're adding the severance payout to the W2?

5 point rating vs old
Is it safe to say that the old scale (performing) is equivalent to exceeding? Or would you categorize the old performing as achieving?
5 day RTO is just a matter of time
If AT&T is doing it, there's no doubt in my mind we'll be next. Prepare, folks. This is our future.
As a foreman in NY, the biggest cost savings for VZ would be to get rid of techs and use contractors.
Cost Efficiency • Contractors allow telecom companies to save on overhead costs like benefits, training, and long-term salaries associated with permanent employees. • You can scale up or down based on demand, avoiding unnecessary costs during... — read more

Return-to-office policies are ‘creeping up,’ researcher says. Many workers would rather quit
It's a matter of when for VZ. WFH employees should quit to save jobs. You will be saving jobs for others. Think of it like the jab mandate. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/23/heres-how-workers-feel-about-return-to-office-mandates.html
When are the next cuts???
