Up to speed India.
That had to be the most cringy and embarrassing thing I ever watched. It’s funny how they want to act cool and hip but can’t cut it. You can almost smell that place thru the screen. Now I know why they are the most unproductive part of verizon. — read more
RIFs this week
Which depts?
Outage
AT&T is just as corrupt/evil/bad as Verizon when it comes to outsourcing their stem/tech workers to India. Maybe they thought they were saving money doing so but you get what you pay for. How much is the outage costing them? It wouldn’t surprise me... — read more

Managers, don’t waste your Leading indicators on people already at top of band!
Hearing people at the top of their band get leading, but getting a smaller raise than those who are performing, is such a waste of a rating. You could have given that rating to another employee who was equally as deserving, and resulted in a 6%+... — read more
BPI was trash. Everyone between 1%-3% raises
2023 was a good year for the company, and the bad e pay increases were unexpected, especially with how much inflation is happening. guess they spent all the money on beyoncé & hans’ golden parachute, rather than a reasonable raise for making the... — read more

Layoff veterans
How many layoff rounds have you survived since you joined Verizon? I'm talking about major rounds, not the small cuts that happen all the time. I'm relatively new here and I already have two under my belt. I can't imagine how high that number is for... — read more

FIOS Video Shutting Down?
Another 65000 loss video customers. Rumor is video is done? VZ 5G is offering You Tube TV in the package. Seems like whoever is running the fios video is running it to the ground. Why wouldn’t VZ offer their own video streaming service instead of... — read more
Employee into data breach
How about compensating me for the hours it will take to update every password I own? Or how about a free two year subscription a password manager in addition to the credit monitoring service.
Was infosys the one that leaked employee information?
If so, why do they have access to American employees. They shouldn’t be able to see our names, our ss #’s, our home addresses, and whatever else they can use to steal from us. They have all of that plus more. I’m uncomfortable with foreign scam... — read more

It's like a corporate rollercoaster at VZ
They're pros at messing with everything from your job description to your schedule. Seven years at this place, and it's been a downhill slide – they keep cutting perks and piling on expectations. It's a true masterclass in demanding the impossible... — read more

Some info in the low increases this year They did the old bait and switch by letting everyone think it was wonderful that leaders could increase bonuses a bit, however they took away leadership's ability to choose the increase They announced... — read more

Does anyone know? Looking for the hourly salary range for PA
Commercials
I think only Verizon employees would find the commercials during the game to be interesting. Everyone else just another commercial to ignore.
VZN rebadge HCLTECH
After 25+ years MCI/Verizon I recently moved to HCL. The whole process has been a disaster. HCL leadership, especially the abrupt HR leader doesn’t communicate, the VZN Global Operations leaders who went across are MIA, lost focus on customers and... — read more
Broke the Internet?
Verizon thinks they broke the Internet with Bey? All I'm seeing on X and Facebook are pi---d off customers saying things like so that's why my bill is going up. How out of touch with customers can they be? What happened to the stories with fire... — read more
