Switching carrier after RIFs
How long does Verizon let you keep the 50% employee discount after leaving? I upgraded my phone earlier this year, so I’d still owe on that, but I’m trying to figure out how long the discount stays before I lose it. Any former employees know how it... — read more
Average Salaries Across Pay Grades??
Many years ago the company would publish the range of salaries across pay grades. I haven't seen that in forever. Does anyone have a clue where things stand now for bands 5, 6 and 7?

Does anyone really know?
Do ADs and SDs really know the names of people on their teams?
Any Info on Wireline?
Yes we have issues, yes there’s a lot of people doing a lot of nothing. I know mass layoffs in the union are unlikely but does anyone know what sort of restructuring we might see?
Hear it here first…
Nov 20. Major MAJOR reorganization…talking a reversal of the whole New Verizon thing launched a few years ago. Teams shuffled. 30-40% layoffs. Gonna be total chaos.

“Momentum. That’s the best way to describe our 1Q 2025 results. We had a strong start to the year, and the V Team didn’t miss a beat. ✨ We took big and bold swings with new experiences, products and plans to give our customers more of what they... — read more
I asked why we were still hiring amid layoffs
My boss told me, and I quote, “to fill specific roles that support the company’s changing needs.” The funny thing is, most of the openings I see aren’t new or tied to AI. They’re the same roles that were just emptied out by layoffs in the past few... — read more

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Dan just add another C level position and fill it with a former colleague from paypal? Leadership at its BEST!
Everyone
I don't care if you are union or management. I don't care if you are wireline or wireless. I don't care if you work in HQ or in you home. I dont care which political party you support. I hope that everything works out for all of us.
Pending Layoffs
Rumors are swirling about the pending layoffs in store. I'm hoping that the cuts will not involve the customer service areas of our organization. If anything, we should be cutting the fat at the top. How many Market Presidents are there in the... — read more

Value Miami Office
What’s up with it? The expo was cancelled and there’s rumor about the kitchen staff being laid off come December. Does this mean we’re staying at the old office? Does it mean we’re moving sooner than anticipated? Does anyone know?
Greed!
$126 billion in profit and they’re laying off workers? GREED, GREED, GREED. Good luck providing decent service!
Contractors or Just Employees
Will the RIF impact any contractors, or just employees?
What’s this rumor that some people were notified yesterday?
Any truth to it? I don’t personally know anyone, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

November 20
It looks like no layoffs have been announced today, as the new pay period begins so I guess two more weeks of uncertainty and then we can finally know our fate.

Emails are en route.
Is that 25% management cut number true?
Heard from 5 people in different departments that that 25% number being floated around is basically accurate.
“Happy thanksgiving”
Doing this the week before a major holiday makes it more depressing. Not just for those on their way out but for the peers who are left behind to pick up the pieces until the next set of RIFs. Put us out of misery and tell us sooner

Outsourcing absolutely ruined the company
outsourcing ruined this company top to bottom. I have been seeing this decline for last 6-10years. IT apps being built are below college project level. If Dan really wants to fix this he should start the reboot there
