big news is coming down the pike. gonna be a whole new ball game
Grass isn’t greener.
I left 6-7 months ago. Was super stressed out. Store was short staffed. Couldn’t see on the other side or think straight due to being over worked, overwhelmed. I had to leave for my own mental health. Word of advice for those of you who may be... — read more

"Those who invested in Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) three years ago are up 2.3% ... with the share price dropping 10% in three years, versus a market return of about 60%" Yahoo Finance, 3/18/22
Layoff is certainly not my biggest concern
I am under so much stress and pressure, the layoff has become my least concern here.... I am much more worried about what I will do and how I will continue working here if I do not find a new job soon... In addition, I think that most people here... — read more
Verizon's commitment to be Carbon Neutral by 2035 and record high gas prices
Since Verizon desires to be a green company one would think management would mandate work at home rather than leaving it up to the executives in each respective organization (Directors deliver the message, but they don't set policy). Also, add in... — read more
Walgreens replaced some fridge doors with screens. And some shoppers absolutely hate it
Verizon Ventures invested in CoolerScreens, perhaps same thing will come to Vz Retail stores : https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/12/business/walgreens-freezer-screens/index.html
5g ultra roll out and roadmap
Unless you are a retail customer (Walgreens, Walmart) in metropolitan areas the 5G ultra coverage is virtually non existent. T mobile is way ahead. Any idea what the rollout and coverage will look like at the end of 2022, 2023 and 2024? We are... — read more

Off payroll 3/11

Dreading going back to an office
My office is the most homophobic, racist, and bigoted place I’ve ever worked. I would love to go back but to another office, preferably somewhere outside of my state. Everyone one hates the other, it’s ridiculously uncomfortable. The excuse my... — read more

Accelerating Revenue and Cash Flow Growth "Through our deliberate strategy of investment and divestment"

I wish higher ups pay was affected by the satisfaction of their employees
Maybe something would change for the better for once. Employees in stores deserve so much more than they get, and there’s so much expected of them for the same pay rate for working at a gas station. it’s ridiculous
“We’re here today to talk about a very different Verizon,” CEO Hans Vestberg began
That is the problem. The new "globalist" kumbaya nonsense has done absolutely nothing for cash flow, just like 2.0! It is time for the company to focus on its core competencies instead of promoting its core incompetencies.
Seeking Alpha: Verizon aims new 'Plus Play' as subscription hub for streaming era

Verizon cares about Ukraine
Of course Verizon cares about Ukraine! It’s a country known for outsourced cheap IT labor. Probably care about Ukraine more than their own employees.
Degradation
I thought I did the right thing by coming here. Now it turns out that I came here from a company that was better than this. There is always some high school drama here. I'm really sick of it. I hope not many people made the same mistake as I did by... — read more

How is Verizon Wireless staying in business? The digital processes are not working.
I tried using the chatbot to discuss upgrading my wireless plan from 5GStart, but it couldn't answer my question and kept me in a loop to nowhere, I tried the call back option but that is "not working at this time", now I'm on hold forever 36 min and... — read more

Why Verizon won’t let you work from outside of US

Underpaid - how to request raise
Im wondering if there is a way to request an off cycle raise. I know for a fact that some folks with less experience and fewer years are getting paid more than me. I speak to many of my peers about salary. I believe I am at the bottom of my pay... — read more
Is hiring based on talent anymore?
I don't mean to offend anyone, nor do I think I am the most knowledgeable and skilled employee here. However, I was really shocked at how little skill the new young colleagues have. I don’t think such employees could get a job here before. Did... — read more

Sign performance review before being told money
For the first time in 10 years, HRBP was on my performance review call. I got performing; however, I was told I will not get $ amts for STI & raise % until I sign my review. It’s not a good review. I got leading from same mgr 4 yrs ago. I didn’t get... — read more
President’s day abd MLK jr day
MLK jr day is a management holiday. Associates have to work. President’s day is an associate holiday. Management has to work. Does this seem really stupid to anyone else?
72T update.
The IRS changed the 72T rate to read “up to 5%”. That is that rate used to calculate how much money you can withdraw without paying a penalty. With the lump sum decreasing with rate change I suggest all look into it.
Irony about raise
Ironically, I got a 4.25% raise after deciding not to put in so much effort anymore. Earlier, when I was engaged and gave my best, I didn't get a raise. Anyone else with such an experience? And yes, thanks to Verizon for the raise this time, but I... — read more
Rumor has it vz to lower stock dividend.
Strong chance vz lowers dividend going forward,lots of talk in office.
BPI sucked this year. Time to take action.
After 7 years with the company, they give me a performing rating and only 1.5% raise. I reached out to a union rep and they’re supposed to get in touch with me. Sc--w Verizon and their cr---y pay raises. I’ll keep you all updated.
Pay base increase
How much pay base increase did you get this year? Got 4.25% raise but inflation is 30% higher. This is ridiculous.
