Layoff Rumors

It's not Wireline vs Wireless
It's the management vs the employees. It works for them when we're at each other's throats because then we're not focused on them. I wish more people would realize this and focus their anger where it belongs. And two Wireline and Wireless employees... — read more
Deck Chairs Moving About
Vz leaders now swapping deck chairs. Same old people in different jobs, swapping from here to there. Biggest swaps in VCG. Same old tired VZ mgt no new blood. Taking their tired energy with them.
Mpls and Internet Network-losing customers , what’s next?
Most customers are moving off the vz mpls network. They are not replacing with vz internet circuits (last mile provider makes our pricing too high vs the competition and vz will not lower the margin. ) At some point there won’t be enough customers... — read more
Could it be better here?
The best have left. Others are looking for a way out because almost no one is happy here. I wonder if it can be any better here? What would have to happen for this to be a good workplace again?
This was foreseen
Verizon pi---d off all their employees, laid them off. They gave them no incentive to keep verizon service. Tmobile is cheaper even with a verizon discount and their service is faster. Verizon also doesnt give their employees customer service. They... — read more
Wireline and Wireless should breakup/split
Wireless can take Hans, VZ India, Inf0$h!, GTS/IT, Shanks, Sampath, etc and try to be the Global “big tech” company that they are not. Good luck! Wireline will go back to being a successful, American, telecommunications company.

Honesty
They already knew how bad big reds numbers were by the end of May. It's a complete farce and what we've done is put lipstick on the pig with the new KPIs. Frankly, it's going to become increasingly hard to stay with big red as it begins slowly begin... — read more

Fire all the crooks who came from Ericsson starting with Hans
Fire all the crooks who came from Ericsson starting with Hans.
RIF???
Anyone hearing about a RIF in fiancé?
Time for change
Han's missed his goals. Based on the goals he set, It is time for him to be fired.
Very Sad State of Affairs
Hans started at CEO 4 years ago. Stock price around $54. Today, it's $10+ less. Quite a decline. Seems like all the Citizen, DEI, and other cr-p diverted attention from what he was supposed to do, which was run a business and grow it. Time to take... — read more

NBI RIF 7/21
Seems to be around 70% laid off effective August, the rest closing up shop and gone by year end.
What was said during the employee results meeting?
As a former employee, I remember the quarterly results meetings. Do you still have those? If so, anything insightful?
Buy the dip today?
Any thoughts on loading up on stock today. We still have an excellent dividend and I expect the stock to drop today based on our lower guidance.
Does anyone actually get contacted when applying internally??
Not even a rejection email or anything. How do people move laterally or move up ? Do a million people apply internally and they just don't even bother sifting through? Is it just a formality but the manager has someone in mind already and they don't... — read more

Positive changes in the last few years
I no longer expect things to change for the better here, because I don't think that will ever happen. It's high time for me to leave. Isn't it sad that it is almost impossible to remember any positive changes that have happened here in the last... — read more
Cuts this coming week
Are rumors true? Will there be cuts?
Pedro says
"If you vote for this contract all your dreams will come true!"
It matters who you lay off
When those on top think cutting the highest earners is a great idea it shows how little they know in reality. Getting rid of the best people results in a workforce with ever-diminishing capabilities. Yes, they save money but they also incur future... — read more

Contract extension
Does anybody have any info about what was.agreed too in this new extension besides WFH
It is fair that Verizon store employees don’t earn more than store employees at Walmart.
It’s nor my intention to put down any of the retail employees. God knows their jobs are hard. However, don't we deal with more complex issues and doesn't our job require more knowledge and skill? To me it is simply not fair
