Work to rule/Job action

If you are not happy with how Verizon OR the your union CWA/IBEW are representing your views. A work to rule is a way of protesting without being insubordinate. Right now workers have more power than ever. Look in the media, people are fed up and... — read more

Just take the jab

Why don't you just take the jab? Turn off those media outlets where the hosts (who make 40 million dollars a year and are ALL vaccinated) try to tell you not to do it because - Muh FREEDOM, Muh LIBERTY!. Oh please. Just take the jab.

Closing down. Let's talk about this

Let's talk about our corporate stores still opened. What warning signs have you guys seen that indicate a massive layoff is coming? Personally I think the Skelton crews working all day is the biggest sign that something bigger is in the pipeline for... — read more

I hope for the best, I expect the worst

At my age, it’s not exactly easy to start from scratch. That is the only reason why I am still here and I hope that I will keep my job for some time, that is, that I will stick around until retirement. However, I am starting to think about plan B... — read more

Rif

I'm not vaccinated yet. My manager asked me whether or not I was and I told him not yet. Two days later I get the notification. Wondering if anyone else is in the same boat???

Internal open positions

I have a friend who is pretty desperate because he’s riffed. How likely is it that the RIF'd employee finds an internal position? Is it just a false hope he can forget?

Package question

I noticed my severance had a $0 STI payout. I thought we'd receive some prorated amount? Are you guys seeing the same?

Always the same

It seems that this company prefers to RIF employees with many years of experience and those who have earned a little higher pay with their work. The average and below average ones always seem to be safe?

Will keep happening this way

Unless every group unionize....then it will be negotiated before notifications. This won't happen in such a short notice with a union.

Lay offs today

Verizon lay offs today. They are actually giving employees two months to find some thing else internally versus the standard lay offs right before Thanksgiving. A lot of Wireline impacted.

I hope it’s just malicious rumor

That the layoffs are around the corner.. I can't believe this is true given that we are very understaffed. Does anyone have more detailed information?

Layoffs 10/28

Hearing from co-workers new will be out tomorrow. Has anyone else heard this?

Mixed feelings about RIF

I would love to be RIFed because it has become unbearable to work here. On the other hand, my anxiety about RIFs is through the roof. Which departments will be affected? Does anyone know?

Quality doesn't matter anymore?

I have been working here for a long time and in the last few years I've noticed that the quality has become less and less important. Leadership seems to be no longer interested in quality at all. I don't know how good of a strategy this is for... — read more
