Who or what department comes to mind when you think of this word ?
has anyone in the union gotten their ipp package in the mail?
i have 27 years wondering what and how much are they offering..
WOW! The Kudos post really got a working over!
Great job by the Verizon social media room at Basking Ridge. The post was overwhelmingly positively received over the past few days, then suddenly the thumbs down is -40 this morning? Seems legit 🤣🤣🤣 Reminds me of Elon Musk hiring whole boiler... — read more
Pontificating out loud.
Sanity check. 21 years at Verizon, at retirement age, crazy busy with work, awful leadership in my group and chilly relationship with my director. My last day is 09/13. I wasn’t looking to leave, but kept harboring these feelings that after VSP, ... — read more
Time for the Verizon Board to do a Starbucks to Hans

Serve Up Some COLA to Those Heroes of Y
Some of our retirees, the people who built this future for us, now find themselves too-often suffering economic hardship. These men and women should be given the most respect, should be honored as our predecessors who built this industry in which you... — read more
HCL rebadge - similar offer?
do anyone have info of the previously rebadged to HCL , they got this same offer extended? I heard they have 2 year job guarantee.
Union
I understand it’s a business but why don’t all employees go union? Yes you have union dues but how safer would it be? Sales reps are protected, everyone else is day by day. We all see how the company panics when the word “Union” is mentioned — read more
RTO 3.0
Mandatory 3 days per week coming late 1st/ early 2nd qtr 2025 after building capacity projects are completed. Also hearing adherence measures will be put in place to catch badge swipers, and no shows. 12 days a month I can handle, but big daddy... — read more
I Don't Need Kudos
I'm not sure who's driving it but, as a tech, and as a professional with many years under my belt, I really do not need, nor do I desire, the incessant, daily, robot-like, fake, auto-generated, non-human-like, "rah, rah, rah", "thanks for the... — read more
Why do we almost never talk about the true cost of layoffs?
It’s not exactly healthy to be under the constant threat of losing livelihood, and having to adjust, move and change jobs on a regular basis, while never knowing if it will work out in the end. Worst part is the feeling of powerlessness - not being... — read more
Power to empower webcast

Any VSP denials?
Heard about some in OPs
Got my VSP email today
I can’t wait to be outta here. Good luck to those of you who are staying around.
Wondering if Miss Sweden is next?
After all, she hyped Verizon 3.0 a few months back, and has yet to deliver anything. Wouldn’t that have been a major part of her Goals and Objectives for the year. Come to think of it, wouldn’t it have been for all Senior management? Fire their... — read more
Did anyone get a date later than 9/13?
Of the 11 or so people I know who clicked the button, 100% of them are out 9/13.
if you dont take the VSP, but get RIF'ed in December, will they offer you VSP money?
Not sure how they did this last VSP...
Future RIFs
Just overheard a manager discussing individual volunteer hours being weighted as part of future RIF calculations.
Non-compete?
VSP peeps, was a non-compete clause included?
VSP email from HR
Anyone get it ? Still waiting…
If not offered the VSP, and RIFd by the end of 2024, does payout change?
VSP = 3 weeks per year Typical RIF = 2 weeks per year For those not offered the VSP and RIFd in the last 4 months of this year, is the payout still 2 weeks per year?
The VSP is just the beginning
Anyone else read Hans’ email and find that ominous? I know rifs are anticipated but this paints a dark picture. Leaving is very bittersweet but knowing that the work is just going to be piling on for those who stay make it a bit sweeter. Sending out... — read more
Dec 20 Departure payout
Since they say the severance check comes a few weeks after last day worked, will those off in Dec get the payout in Jan ? Or will they rush it to get it in 2024 ?
Low VSP take rate
I heard that the final number for VSP was about half of what they wanted to get so a RIF will be here before the end of the month. Anyone have any good info on this? Wouldn’t a large RIF have to be reported prior to it happening?
How much tax will they take out of the severance + bonus pay?
Just found out my date of 9/13. Super happy, but how much tax do they take out? Thank you in advance
Surplus declared Eisp incoming
Titles declared ask your union rep about the details. I'm outta here company turned bollywood sh-t show
Just got my call for Departure
My manager just made me aware of my release date of 9/13. I will get the official email tomorrow. Good luck to each of you that took the VSP, And good luck to each of you that are staying.
ESP or RIF, ESP is a no brainer
If Verizon cannot find any value for you, and they RIF you out, take the ESP and run. For me, it was close to 1.7 times the severance + 1.5 times the benefits. If they don't see value in my services, I will be glad to find somebody that will.

A once great American company
Back when the CEO and the majority of execs/upper management were Americans. VZ has been in a death spiral since 2018 when it was taken over by a Swedish meatball (fired from his prev CEO job) and Indian execs who only care about replacing American... — read more
Do you think there is any chance of a RIF in August for the departments that do not meet VSP goals?
An example would be if one group under a VP or Senior Director that was offered the VSP and did not meet their goals, they would then RIF others in their work group that were not offered the VSP?
Work force reduction?
Is it true Verizon promised share holders they would reduce the work force in an attempt to bring up stock prices. If so does this include non management employees
Using Vacation up to VSP date
Is it OK to use Vaction time up till the 9/13 date? (Assuming one has enough and doesn’t care about the payout for it) I didn’t see anything specifically addressing this in the 401 page document about VSP71
Will Managers get advance notice
Question for Managers on here- will you be notified of VSP dates before your team gets the email on Wednesday?
VSP dates
Hi I wanted to leave on September not December, and from what I heard from this forum, HR and senior leadership will decide the dates. Is it better to reach out to HRBP that I am interested to leave early, does that make sense?
EISP FOR FIELD TECHS?
Has anyone heard of any EISP for New York/ New England areas .
