Close the offices and work remote
I find it surprising that VZ hasn’t considered closing all of their corporate offices by now. Talk about huge savings! Why lay off people when you can shut down offices? That would save big money on building debt/rent, property taxes, electricity... — read more
I'm out of here
I've made the decision to leave. I'm glad I did - Verizon has turned into a joke. I'm so tired of nepotism, cronyism, bullsh-t politics, and watching the Titanic sinking as those who run it do nothing to help. Anybody with half a brain knows it's... — read more
Hans & the World Economic Forum-Davos January 2023

Lump sum surprise
Anyone else notice that their January and February lump sum numbers dropped this month? I expect drops in the 3rd month projection but I've never seen month 1 or 2 estimates change
Another bad year for Verizon ahead
More debt, more layoffs, more heads buried in sand

Good Luck If Today if Your Last Day

Mandatory day to work unless you put in for the entire week off.
Tasks that spoil work
In my specific case, the manager assigns me too many tasks that are pointless. Not only does it put me in an uncomfortable and frustrating situation, but then others also think that I'm not doing real work, that is, that I'm just pretending to... — read more
Mike Sievert of T-Mobile is the CNN Business CEO of the Year
Investors saw a lot of red in 2022. But a company known for its magenta logo was a stock market darling this year. Shares of T-Mobile (TMUS) rose about 20% in 2022, even as rivals AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) tumbled. Ma Bell was down about 2% while... — read more

Retail Poll How you truly feel?
Why retail is failing isn't due to Verizon as a whole but how we staff our stores. We have GM's that would rather look good than care for their employees. We still have tenure Employees that still use their work devices as personal and I know for... — read more
