I just love getting a passive aggressive email from the wildly useless and incompetent Sam Hammock yesterday, followed by an email from Manon basically blaming all of us individual contributors for the mistakes that leadership has made this year... — read more 

Isn't Han's just delaying the inevitable? He just keeps rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Is it time for T and VS to merge?

'Our talented people are our most powerful asset"? The message was as incoherent as it was tone-deaf. Empty sophistry about transforming and winning in this moment is both hurtful and untruthful. The worked with what we had and got RIF'd. But the... — read more 

Any idea if there were cuts in Corporate comms? Will we still get two episodes of uo to speed each week? Will we still get to attend the super bowl, Indy 500, and your around all the cool 5g cities on expense accounts

Leadership matters. Bad leadership decisions = bad results for everyone. Employees pay the price for weak leadership. Leaders still make their millions and we lose our jobs. Vz should not be in the financial mess we are in. From Inc magazine... — read more 

Verizon has been going downhill as a company for years. This was never the kind of place that treats its employees great but it was never as bad as it is now. I would love to get severance and get out of here. Despite what many think, the job market... — read more 

I get VBG is.still adding, but these groups in today's announcement seem pretty wide spread. Any VBG rumors?

Quick question - have there been any changes to the severance plan recently? I just want to check the information I have.

How do they notify employees that they are laid off? Meetings 1:1 or in some other way?

Use this thread to consolidate what we know so far.

I didn’t see any CWA yet.

They should.

Another stellar day at vz. What departments and positions were cut. No names please.

The way things went the second quarter particularly in Consumer, things are bad. Wall St expected 160k adds, but VZ produced 12k. VCG lost 200k and VBG added 200K, but cost went way up. Look at the new travel policy. EVP/SVP approval required... — read more

I don’t have exact details other than reorganizations are happening. Calls going on today about major changes

How many people in a work group have to leave before HR decides to look at the Manager?

I have many years with the company and have witnessed many changes of every possible kind but the changes made over the past several years since McAdam left have seemed to be those which have most negatively impacted the business. When people say... — read more 

Travel dramatically cut back immediately. Backfills closed. No more contractor hires. Guess what's coming next?

I am a newer employee and always was under the impression that Verizon was the greatest of all the carriers. However, every call I get is a port out from people saying the service used to be excellent until recently. What happened and why don’t they... — read more 

There's been more talk about another RIF in the coming few weeks, does anybody know if there's any truth to them? I know there are always rumors going around about stuff like this but I've heard this from several sources, which makes me think that... — read more 

I have heard lots of talk lately of reorganization. The interesting thing about it is that the comments have a pattern of things returning to the way they were structured prior to V2.0. Lots of ideas on reversing past shifts in roles and... — read more

Off payroll by 12/31 ?

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 

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.

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 

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?

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 

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.
