How true is this? What’s your thoughts ?
Manager Credo
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get su-ked into engines. Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now. A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. The sooner you fall behind, the more time you will have to catch... — read more
Verizon Leadership
99% of management give the rest a bad name.
Downvote Brigade
What's up with the downvote brigade on every post? Is it Corporate? Shills? The new and incredibly terrible overseas customer service department? Feel the Dignity, Inclusiveness, and the constantly Virtual Signaling Intranet page.
Verizon to offer $30k loan to all employees. Loan will be forgiven after 3 years and still employed.
If you leave the company or are terminated before 36 months, you will have to pay back the loan with interest at whatever rates are at the time of dismissal. Is this a good deal?
I haven't seen any posts from the HCL crew?
How has the transition been so far?
Can management be converted to union?
I just talked to a guy who’s an engineer with GN&T. He said his group was riffed but they were offered senior tech jobs in the union. The choice is leave or convert their annual salaries over to union, bridge all their time, get union benefits ect …... — read more

More layoffs in November
Are rumors true? Will there be even more layoffs this month?
Does 11/9 RIF Meet the WARN 60 Day Notice?
You do the math. 11/9 to 12/29 doesn't equal 60 Days as required by the WARN Act. Maybe a Class Action Lawsuit for Hans for Xmas?
Very poor timing
Gather all your veterans together one day to celebrate and honor their service to our country and lay a bunch of them off the next day. When our director pulled us all together to make the RIF announcement he made sure to mention how the layoffs were... — read more
GTS Gov contracts
Who’s going to support Gov customers now that the people with clearance were laid off. Can contractors do the job on behalf of Verizon?
Verizon Connect layoffs
This division of Verizon continues down an uncontrollable spiral. Executives are leaving, sales leaders getting booted, and continuous layoffs across all segments. Get your resumes ready and do not trust the people in charge.
Layoffs in Seattle
Just got taken out behind the shed, 12+ years moved here for this job. Worked my way up into network from being consistent top 1% of sales nationally pre-pandemic. Severance offer is absolutely pitiful. Will be homeless in 9mo, medical runs out at... — read more
What is GN&T please?
Thanks in advance
GN&T and GTS were hit
GN&T was hit hard, but GTS riff’ed some very important people that have dedicated decades to Verizon. There will be massive knowledge walking out the door. I feel for everyone. So sorry
What's happening?
Any news?

Stop worrying
Whether layoffs happen tomorrow or not doesn't really matter. A threat of more cuts will remain. Nothing will change. This is our new normal. If you value your mental health, learn to live with it. Prepare the best you can just in case and then go... — read more
Will there really be RIFs tomorrow?
If so, what org/orgs? How many?
Please let it be true
I am now hoping for layoffs. And I'm praying that I'm among those who are affected. I want out and I'll be overjoyed if I'm laid off. I'll take a month to start looking for a new job just to relax and improve my mental health after over a decade of... — read more

The Joe Show Blows!
What a waste of 60 minutes... nothing of substantial value. The top 3 questions dealing with cost of living and contractor replacement were not even looked at. The rolly-polly show goes on and on. Useless... look at the questions, you leaders. There... — read more
Pay Cuts
Wireline employees will be given pay cuts instead of raises. The goal is to get all employees in the same band by title and wireless employee salaries are much lower. This is not a BS post. It is the truth.
Constant changes in job description
Is this normal for VZ? I've been here for a year and my job description has changed three times in that time. Is this normal? I find it annoying, to say the least. When I accepted this job, I accepted it knowing I was good at what I was supposed to... — read more

You may have to due without a contractor but you'll have a job!

Show of hands
Who else regrets not taking their VSP?
No wonder they’re so cheap, it’s practically slave labor.
