For those retiring , what is your 401K looking like ?

Working at Verizon is not good for my health. Literally. We should start getting hazard pay for some of the cr-p we have to put up with non-stop.

Know for sure now that Cary and Temple Terrace cafeterias shutting down at end of February. Another reason you won't see me RTO.

The 2023 STI doc says individual modifier can be up to 150%, which I can only assume would be linked to a 5 rating. My question is, is 100% attached to a 3 or a 4? If you know all the data, please share.

And so it begins. I don’t know how wide sweeping this one is but it sounded big. I was volunteered as tribute. May the odds be ever in your favor. Good luck out there!

105,400. 11,700 fewer than last year. That is 10%. See page 3 of the Q4 financial statement. Another 10% this year would drive it down under 95,000.

Kyle looking kinda slobby and sloppy at 4Q23 webcast ... needs help dressing and answering questions on VBG write-down. Bottom line, that part of the business is going to be cut loose at some point.

All we do is WIN, WIN, WIN...... 10 straight quarters. Notice when TMO reports, they say they their best result for business, but do not report net numbers. Not that I have seen. Great overall results!!

Was she ousted from President of Value? Seems like she was demoted by now reporting to Frank in her new role. Thoughts?

I am not from the wireline side, so I could be off base, but doesn't adding a layer of managers to band 6 seem like a really good way to minimize the number of union employees? Was that one of the motives behind the new titles?

Just heard from a reliable source that Verizon Business/HCL isn't going to renew any contracts past 30 months. They're instead going to hire off-shore employees "because they're cheaper". This doesn't bode well for anyone that was re-badged earlier... — read more
