I don’t know what titles would be eligible for the EIPP. Hopefully for field techs and COTS. The union has confirmed this.

I want my raise, my healthcare, and job protections. The union can and will get it for us.

I honestly don’t see myself ever going back to the office. What happens if I just dont show up—would they actually fire me? Do they even track badge swipes? Is HR planning to enforce this policy ?

Serious question? Or Rumor?

Verizon is dying like Sprint. Bad contracts, no vision, poor leadership. Is Elon the answer?
