Why do many say that most managers here are useless?
Good number of managers here don’t manage anything, it's a very common phenomenon here. I'm sick of their big talk because they don't add much value, they think they are smarter than everyone else, they think they are the only ones creative... — read more
Biden to announce vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100
Wonder what the response will be.
Getting a job with Vz hopefully.
How long does the process take when you’re in ‘recruiter review’ stage? I have been in wireless a long time, left Att a couple years ago and eager to get back.
Retire age
Does anyone have an idea what the pension buy out diffrence would be for 29 yrs compared to 30ys ? How much do you lose if you leave at 29yrs
Did VZ just spend $50 billion on wireless spectrum that they can’t use?
Sweedish Meatball was in tears during the company announcement where he was thinking about how the C-Band auction would ‘change the world’. Now it looks like it may cause interferrence with airplanes. If VZ can’t use this spectrum and the government... — read more

Jan. 2022 will be the end of WFH
Heard it on good authority that come January 2022 everyone will have to return to the office, no exemptions will be allowed. HR is working on the details and will announce the RTO in November. The decision has been made!
Nepotism = lose-lose situation
If anything has been frustrating me here lately, then it’s nepotism. It's affecting both, the company and the employees. The company loses because people are in positions that far exceed their capabilities. On the other hand, employees also lose... — read more
Agreement
Interesting. Just saw an email sent after 6pm yesterday that CWA 1101 and Vzn reached an agreement that ANYONE who put in for the recent surplus offer will be accepted.
Home garaging
With the increasing numbers of covid, what are the chances of home garaging again? Last month in August, covid numbers were higher than August of 2020, and also higher than the month of January of this year. There are also several techs testing... — read more
Not a good company to work for
Verizon is a terrible company to work for. Nobody in the upper management cares about you or the development of your career. If you want career growth, you're out of luck. Those promotions are reserved for brown nosers, hard workers need not apply... — read more
West Bronx Tech checking.
I stand with my brothers and sisters in the office. You go back to an office, we go on a wildcat strike. We won’t let you stand alone, even if the Union isn’t with you.
RIFs info
RIF coming for Wireless engineering..... Can anybody elaborate on this, please?
Budget cuts Enterprise wide
Hans is on the same path with VZ as he was Ericsson. Major labor budget cuts but we continue to bleed out on donations to initiatives related to racial inequality. Leaders are focused on hiring based on race instead of talent. Corporate jets continue... — read more
Hiring Spree
Hiring spree at AT&T is good for the industry. Hence, it is very likely VZ will follow suit and no VSP package will be offered this year folks https://www.lightreading.com/open-ran/atandt-preps-for-hiring-spree-open-ran-deployment/d/d-id/771838 — read more

New Hire Training
I feel for the new hires. Remember when you went away for weeks put up in a hotel somewhere if far enough, or at least in a class with people for a week. Now it's all on the computer and apparently they aren't learning anything of value about the job... — read more
Short job on resume
I didn’t mean to stay here long, but I didn’t think I would be looking for a new job in less than two months because I already saw that this wasn’t the right fit for me. Kudos to those who can stay here longer than that, but I’ve learned that there... — read more
5G...forced out of town
Verizon AND the Union combined the Cable Splicers into one group and have started sending us to the cities to work on 5G. They are forcing the System Techs to work down as Splicers to cover us while we are out of town. Meanwhile the office workers... — read more
Will Verizon send crews to Louisiana
Does anyone have any inside info
I stayed here too long
How long would you recommend a person who has just come here and is looking for experience to stay here? Unfortunately, I think I stayed too long and lost a lot of time here. Now that I look back, I really regret my decision. I don’t even know why I... — read more
If CWA 1101 is really fighting WFH, what’s keeping us from changing to IBEW?
Title says it all. We’re finally able to get away from the office pervs, racist’s, and sexists. Why go back to that garbage after a year and a half. I don’t want to hear the 20 some odd year rep give me advice on how to deal with 3 baby mamas. I... — read more
What miracle needs to happen for this to start working well?
It is not just POS. It is literally like everything we touch. Our gmail goes down. Our calendar goes down. Slack goes down. Salesforce goes down. Those aren’t even VZ branded platforms. When they aren’t down, they are slow! In some cases, the network... — read more
Verizon
According to Fox Business Verizon promotes defunding the Police and thinks America is fundamentally racists. What you guys think about that. Social media having a field day with this one
CWA 1101 is slowing Work From Home Negotiations again
There argument is with less grievances, they have less to do. You would think with less grievances that it would mean more happy workers. This will be an indirect layoff and they’re willing to accept the majority of members leaving the company... — read more
Verizon layoffs
If verizon continues down this path ,of the cr t post that was just deleted , there will be more layoffs because there is lack of focus on the business. Which means more jobs will move offshore. Maybe this is why christie left.

Managers gets prizes for 100% Pulse Survey completion
Don't fill it out. Deny them their toys.
Vaccine mandate
Rumor Verizon will be mandating the jab.
5 years later and we still can't have a working point of sale
They want us to fail. Can't fix the ipad point of sale systems we've had for years yet they can spend tons of money of everything else and expect us to do more. Failed activation orders daily.
Will we ever have staffing like we used to?
Personally, I don't think we will ever have staffing like we used to, but I wonder if there is an optimist who thinks we will?
