Lotta hot air and a whole lot of inaction. “Thinking about” volunteering (some people are trying to stay, while you have to ASK to be let go?) does nothing and earns you no points among the rest of us. You say the same sh-t every RIFmas and continue... — read more
My boss told me that China is the future and I should worship their prowess. I guarantee he doesn’t know the word prowess.
He barely reads at a 5th grade level.
Tulsa
Hearing rumors of the tulsa office closing. Does anyone have any information on this???

When do you think the next RIFF notification will happen? April or May?
Vz Stock Exposed
Flight to saftey over. Vz stock resetting and back to low 40's/30's. Zero strategy execution exposed. Buyback and layoffs only strategy. Without Executive Leadership... BOD only option is merger and tap out with bonuses. Merge with Charter and let... — read more
Meeting dates moved
Anyone else notified of their all hands meeting getting pushed out?
Verizon has lost its shine
Heavy work, broken tech, bad managers, tiny raises. Insurance keeps getting worse. Basic tasks take all day. Sales and customers dropping, no vision. It's a mess.
I've learned not to worry about what I can't change
Took some work, but I got there. That also means I'm done trying to prove myself, going above and beyond, or giving this job anything beyond what my paycheck already covers. At this point, it's obvious that performance is the last thing that matters... — read more
Finance layoffs in the first week of May?

New Branding Signs
What does it mean when the Indirect or authorized resellers get the new brand logo on their buildings before the main corporate locations? Asking for a friend
GN&T
So are we really getting hit hard again or it just another speculation. I wish I could understand how they’re all still looking to cut down when we’re already thin. Most of our areas are the sizes of what two people used to handle. Are we going to a... — read more
That post about 2/3's of the tech jobs being posted being in India yesterday (Saturday) must have hit a nerve.
Now the count is 30 jobs, 27 of which have openings in the US (also state could be in 10 locations). Jobs in India down to 3. The openings all must have been posted on the Saturday before Easter, and 21 people hired in India on the same day. Yeah... — read more
Every person for themselves
Layoffs ki-led any sense of teamwork. Don't let anyone near your work or they'll take credit. Hide your files. Even managers are doing it.
I just realized something...
I have friends and colleagues at verizon and several other companies and organizations. I've heard many, many complaints about D.E.!. hires but I've never heard a single positive thing about them. Never once have I heard someone say they were happy... — read more
Internal job postings
We have internal job postings all the time, but it’s becoming pretty obvious a lot of them already have someone in mind. People go through the entire process and then lose out to someone who seems pre-selected. Why even put it up if you already know... — read more
So is the April layoffs rumor real or not?
What's the consensus? I see people here mentioning the next big round in May. It'd be nice to have even a couple of weeks where worrying about being cut isn't piled on top of everything else.
Alpharetta
Heard from a sales manager today Alpharetta is closing
Give us an out!
I'm so done with this Company, I'm in a position they won't layoff but am so done with all the new management stupid decisions, It didn't work 20 years ago, didn't work 10 years ago, didn't work 5 years ago, but hey I'm a new guy and I think it will... — read more

Anyone want to take a guess at who will take control after the company is run into the ground?
Volunteer for next RIF?
I am likely planning on resigning from my position sometime soon (partially because it’s become a nightmare and also due to a family issue). Is there any harm in volunteering for the next RIF? I see many dates on here (April, May, June, etc.) I don’t... — read more
Next big round
RIF end of May off the books end of June.
What's the point of the glossy image anymore?
Habit? Compulsion? As if employees and clients don't already see the reality. It's not like they're trying to attract talent anyway. At this pace, there soon won't be anything left to replace with offshore workforce or AI.
Prevailing wage and Rural Broadband
The Rural Broadband Build is currently on hold over having to pay prevailing wage. Verizon and the Federal Government are fighting the States over having to pay prevailing wage. They are holding the States hostage saying that unless the prevailing... — read more

So they're never going to restructure the teams post-layoffs?
Is that the plan? Workload's unmanageable. Half the tasks are things none of us know how to do. What am I supposed to do? Magically acquire a whole new skillset?
Stock Together Approved
Heard from my leaders that Stock Together was approved. We'll be getting email soon (i don't know specific date) on details.

Verizon Leadership and 1-Layer Down
