Isn’t great how Verizon’s name was all over the news with the Chinese hackers. Who’s minding the shop here. VDSI?? India?? What’s the word on the street with this.

Has there been any talk about a 4th quarter package for union employees.

Can any of you Good Folks know when VZ terminated the conventional accrual pension and go to 401K contributions only. ? Thank you

I see the check in work history but it’s not showing up in same fidelity account used for Rsu payouts pre vsp. Anyone know if it’s paper check or something else?

Most of us already at Verizon are just looking for a way out. Who'd want to join this mess is beyond me.

I received a mandatory team meeting invite without one of my teammates added to the call. This person is my mentor and am worried as he is not answering the phone or calling me back. Has anyone else been affected in Wireline today?

RIF’s are happening at Verizon Connect today. Stay safe out there everyone

Look at the results compared to Verizon! It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. T-Mo offers better value, and when I leave VZ soon, T-Mo's plans will be cheaper than what I can get as a retiree!

I've been here almost 19 years... i thought it was odd that the invite for the Q3 results was only 30 minutes... I guess I know why. That's the first one at least I can remember where they didn't have any Q&A... not a good look

With the q3 results out, what are your thoughts??? Will there be more VSPs or RIFs and if so what departments do you think will or should get hit?? Any chance Loyalty/Care/Tech or other departments get hit?

I currently work in the Ridge and drive 1.5 to 2 hours each way. A position has opened up at a technician garage 10 minutes away. Is it worth making the switch from the corporate environment to one with field techs? Would love your input. TIA

Got my severance deposited today. Just wondering - are we eligible to file for unemployment in NYC? I also got an email from Verizon saying they participate in UI.

a call from a lawyer looking to file for retroactive social security disability on your behalf? What’s the scheme?

I’m starting the program now and just looking for feedback.

Just to let anyone know (who doesn't already) that you should be for sure getting your deposit tomorrow if you are set up for direct. I logged in to my VZ Work History Link and it shows the amount in there.
