Hi Everyone, couldn't find this anywhere, including on my comp sheet. So we know that 50% of our STI is paid at 103% this year, but how do we know what the other half is paid at? It is not stated in my sheet, just has my year end salary, STI target... — read more
What’s the lowest you’ve seen a 6V make?
If you’re a 7T making $100k, and you get a promotion to 6V, the rules say you’re limited to a 10% raise, so $110k in that case. However, looking at many 6V jobs, the pay band starts above $110k. So which rule prevails? The limit on raises, or do you... — read more

2025 Total Rewards Comm Sheet
“Achieving” = 3% BPI, 10% STI. What did the other levels get?
Simple & Verizon PP
It appears all energy for Value is going into Total Wireless. What is the long term goal of some of these other brands? If interviewing for another Brand is it best to hold out for Total?

When will VZ get rid of DEI?
Everyone is turning their backs to DEI. it's worthless and harmful to the company. It needs to go and go fast.

Employment guidelines for upcoming LTI vest 3/1

STI
When do we get pay sheets?
No Super Bowl commercials. Again.
T mobile had two commercials, all the big plays - apple, google, meta, coke, had their ads. We used to have the best ads. This is so disappointing.
RTO to get rid of customer service reps, contractors to replace techs. No more union!!
This would be amazing!
Verizon donated $1M to Trump
I’m sure they also donated to Democrats but they should have just stayed politically agnostic. https://apple.news/ARge5pM4sR1q1Vhka7H550g Their political money should go to employees suffering through 3% yearly raises.
Avoid taxes
Can you good folks roll over your severance payouts to an IRA therefore avoid taxes ?
Hans is playing you all !!
When a CEO takes a company down by lowering its stock price by $20 a share and gets options and stock at the lower prices. When the CEO leaves or gets removed the stock goes up 5 to 10 per share? Way to go Hans you sc--wed up well !!

VBG finance webcast re: RTO
On the VBG finance webcast, someone asked about RTO changes. Our leader basically said there is no change as of now, and that we have been productive from home. But that you "can tell which way the wind is blowing" on this topic.
VBG P&M kickoff 2/4
Just watched our VBG Product & Marketing kickoff 2/4. Interesting that our leader Iris Meijer doesn't speak much, but delegates to her leaders to share the priorities and results. She doesn't even answer questions in the Q&A. What does she really do?... — read more
