How is attrition this bad during such a rough job market? People are leaving, but where in the world are they going? Is there some secret amazing employer I’m missing? Or are folks just so over Verizon that they'd rather be jobless in these uncertain... — read more

Will Union Block It?
Taken from an earlier post I am wondering whether the Union will give their okay if the Company should decide to allow additional union members to volunteer to leave with the EISP beyond the stated number. I realize that unions are not only an... — read more

Friday 13th departure
So , we depart on Friday the 13. This basically means that off payroll the 13th. Our next check after we leave will include any remaining vacation time plus 1 week of actual pay worked.
Winding Down
Next Friday ends a 25-year run. There are tons of things to question, but it’s hard to complain when being paid to leave. As things wind down, I’ve been thinking about the VSP…. HR said to do what’s best for your family – but hard to do when no... — read more
CMO org…ughhh
Anyone else feeling that way lately about the CMO org? Seems like all the good people have either left, are leaving, or are planning to leave soon. Poor communication, lacking visibility with Leslie, and backstabbing rewarded with promotion and... — read more

Anyone else having difficulty accessing the vsp portal to sign documents?
RTO is an attrition scheme
Don’t relocate, don’t lose time coming to some hub. All they want to do is to make you quit or create conditions you can not meet so they can fire you. Think about what is the best thing for yourself and act accordingly. I personally don’t think for... — read more
How long till Verizon RIFs all their Remote Workers?
The company is moving further and further away from the remote workers it stranded when it closed all the call centers. More work is being shifted offshore every day. Most technical jobs are now in India only. For months you've had to know the... — read more
Overpriced Frontier
Looks like we are doing it again, buying something for more than its worth. Was looking at the Frontier layoff site and there are plenty of rifs there as well. And someone who could tell the future back in April saying Vz was buying Frontier. We are... — read more
Mediocrity gets all the praise and rewards
Remember when doing great work at Verizon meant you were on the fast track? Going above and beyond used to get you somewhere. Nowadays, it feels like mediocrity gets all the praise and rewards, while top performers are being pushed out the door. How... — read more
Have ISP rumors been confirmed?
As in another ISP offer coming before the end of the year?
Verizon buying Frontier
So with this buying of frontier I would think it would bring more work less Riffs //
Verizon near deal to acquire Frontier.
I thought VZ sold off Fios, Landline etc in 2015 2016 in certain areas like Ca, Fl and Tx for like 10.5 mil!
Verizon buying Frontier
Buying back the assets we sold to Frontier. John Stratton leaves Vz, becomes CEO of Frontier then sells Frontier to Verizon. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/verizon-nearing-deal-frontier-communications-175129593.html
No surprise that Verizon no longer does corruption training
My job after leaving Vz requires everyone to take bribery and corruption training. The hilarious thing is that the first example of consequences of corruption violations used in the training is the Ericsson corruption and bribery case that occurred... — read more
Can someone please ELI5 the different IPPs?
I know there have been basically three different IPPS that craft is occasionally offered. IPP, Enhanced IPP and super EIPP I think? What exactly is offered with each type? Is the extra cash given in a lump sum or over time? Thanks in advance for any... — read more
It's becoming harder and harder to find reasons to stay
The only one I have at this point has nothing to do with Verizon itself. The job market su-ks and I don't feel like dealing with rejection, since that's most likely to happen a lot. That's it. That's why I'm not leaving just yet. Everything else... — read more

Former Vz HCL getting riffed

No RIFs before Oct/Nov?
I’m relatively new. I know last year it was November.
BGCO
Anyone in the Public Sector BGCO group? Are they doing any layoffs now that VSP dates are out? Or any word on the new work load we're getting since people took the package? I know they already added crazy workload with the overflow calls.
Another two weeks of dealing with my sh---y narcissistic manager
Can’t wait to be free from his control, manipulation and corporate politic games. Fu--ing hate working here so much. Worst manager I’ve ever had
RIFs
Any word on rifs this week? It seems like people would be alerted this week since they normally give people a month notice and next month is the end of a quarter. Or will they wait for November?
Lowell McAdam's Parting words (contrast in leadership)
I’d like to leave you with one final challenge: Stay hungry. Don’t be content or take the easy way forward. When someone tells you “that’s the way it’s done” or “everybody knows that …” an alarm should go off in your head. You may make mistakes by... — read more
Is there an end date to this?
When will the latest restructuring or whatever they're calling it these days finally be done?
Unless Hans and Shankar leave things are not gonna improve...No vision !!

Help!
Laid off (was not eligible to volunteer for VSP but received it). I have an offer to stay, but it’s a lower band. Base pay will drop from $114 to $79k. Stay or take VSP and walk? Payout is 57 weeks.
Why oh why 30 techs surplus Boston?
Allow outside techs to retire to reduce surplus in Boston centers
I’m so not looking forward to workload after VSPs
Can’t wait to see workload staying the same after cuts/layoffs/VSP because of the AI revolution. Somehow I think that is never going to happen.
Ppl who quit or have been RIf’d- how long did it take for them to remove that phone discount?
Don’t say read the FAQ. I know what it says, but just wondering how quickly does that discount get auto removed? Next day?
How many of these posts are legit…
The title says it all. Wondering how many of the posts on here are real vs. trolling semi-truths vs. malicious rumor conjuring. Let’s hear what all the V-Teamers have to say!
Is it too late to sign my boss up for VSP
Seriously if this guys stays and VZ gives him more responsibilities we are all doomed!! Stock price will be at 12 in no time :)-
Unemployment in TX / RIF’d with severance
RIF’d with severance package in TX - not to be confused with VSP. Would I be eligible to register for unemployment benefits? Anyone know? I was denied unemployment benefits with option to appeal and have a hearing. Not sure it’s worth the trouble... — read more

I'm not so sure if I read correctly but is it true VZ objective is a 25% labor cut. ? Replies if anyone knows the true facts on above statement.
Nepotism can make you AD with 4 years of work experience
