Heard there might be layoffs by end of month? What department will get impacted first and what organizations?
Profit Sharing to 401K
Profit sharing for last year showed up in my 401K, which I rolled over to an IRA after taking the VSP last year. Sigh. So, guess I'll have to do another rollover? What a pain.
20% hazard pay raise
AT&T is giving there people a temp raise where is ours
Hypocrisy
"We run to a crisis, not away." Means: We push our front-line expendable employees towards a crisis (WITHOUT ANY PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT). "Hey, it's only an illness, & you DO get sick days, right?"

Email from Top
Did anyone else get the E D C H @ N email? I don't think the under roos get it. Poorly written. And where is the SVP that was with HR last week?
Why are posts being deleted???
Freedom of speech? Anyone?
Verizon is Definitely enforcing its data limits during the pandemic
Why can’t VZ allow more data usage with the COVID epidemic? Some customers may live in areas where wireless is the only option and streaming news All day to keep up with the crisis is the only way to be informed.
Seeking Alpha: CenturyLink extends employee benefits as virus response
CenturyLink (CTL -6%) is extending employee benefits and protections in response to the global COVID-19 outbreak. About 75% of its workforce are working for home (exempting critical field and customer-facing positions), it says. And it's providing... — read more
How many months of this can we take?
Realistically, if this lasts for more than two months as everybody is predicting (although I'm not sure why that seems to be the consensus) how long would it take for us to collapse? I know small businesses are already having trouble staying afloat... — read more

Verizon Corporate Stores Closing Down...
Is this true 100%
Stimulus Check
Any other VSP’ers screwed out of 2020 Coronavirus stimulus check because of the one-time severance payout? I’m guessing they’ll use 2019 w-2 data.
RSU Award?
I am a severed employee from March 2019. I received my first RSU award last year, but I did not receive the 2nd RSU award today. Who can I contact at VZ to dispute? Is there a number any of you have used?

Why are we still open??
Its obvious Verizon does NOT care about its employees. Our credo is b—s— because it was written by people who dont have to rush to the frontlines of a disaster. They should be the ones who come and work on the front lines. Atleast close all... — read more
Failed:
Verizon is falling a**-first into a pandemic and dragging frontline employees down with it along the way. Verizon is not valuable if the workforce isn’t behind it. When will some of you realize that? The economy is tanking because our LABOR has... — read more
Well waddaya know! Seems we're essential workers who must come in to keep the network going
So DON'T EVER TRY to K–l MY PENSION AGAIN, Verizon! Also, union should squeeze their nads here for a contract extension to 2027.
Modeling the Greed(o)
We are literally running to a crisis down here in Florida while executives play it safe from home. Select store closures even though we are all equally as vulnerable. Let’s stick it to Verizon the way Wells Fargo did once this is over.
Hazard Pay 25%
Heard Comcast offering 25% hazard pay and CWA dragging their feet to approve it.

It's only a matter of time, now. They have to make up for the losses somehow.

Are there any center that have closed? Mines needs to close ASAP! To much coughing.

Interest rates zero, how much will lump sums go up?
2 cuts in last 2 weeks, what percentage will our lump sums go up? Might be better than a eisp.
Why not suspend all field operations?
Going on calls endangers both us and everybody we come in contact with. How bad does it have to get for some common sense to enter the picture?
