This is not cutting costs

Maybe I don't understand the math very well, but.... Getting rid of best employees I would never call 'cutting costs'. Verizon is getting rid of people who do great job to later hire people who are neither doing their job well nor are interested in... — read more 

What is the final outcome?

The union and the company are meeting next week regarding vaccination requirements. What will be the final outcome from these talks. Will there be a testing option included? Maybe a contract extension? Will the company allow natural immunity? Or... — read more

Any rumors/chance of one more Eisp by end of year?

I should have left earlier

Has it ever happened to you that you applied for the same job in another company as your colleague? Terrible feeling. I should have left earlier before the market became flooded with Verizon people and ex-employees looking for the same jobs. It seems... — read more

Dogs are loyal

When I hear people complaining about how they're being treated like cr-p despite being loyal Verizon employees all I can think is GOOD. Dogs are supposed to be loyal, not employees. Loyalty is laughed at here. Maybe at other companies it is admired... — read more

mission impossible

I’ve come to the conclusion the there may never be another retail layoff. Especially in East Texas. Most stores are understaffed. So just throw on that blue Jean shirt and fix the customer Facebook.

A smaller company that does not support mandates

Someone here said that it is easy to find a job in a company that those who do not want to be vaccinated could go to. My friend tried to find a job in one such company and yes, it is possible, but he failed to find an equivalent position and pay... — read more

BIG GUYS COMING INTO OUR STORE

We have all the “big people” in our district coming in to our store to talk about VZP Home and check the store out, coincidently before the holidays, and right after the vaccine mandate. Everything is still kind of secretive on why they are coming... — read more

Govt pressure

Craig comes on at noon to announce vz vaccine mandates today and then an hour later Biden gives a briefing announcing private sector mandates will begin soon. Coincidence? Nope. All planned. Christy knew this was coming and got out. Govt needs... — read more 

Where has the optimism gone?

This company is not doing anything to keep the best people. None of the colleagues I talk to about it believe the situation will be any better next year. Is there really no more room for optimism in this company? No one seems to have high hopes... — read more

Vaccine Requirement grass isn’t greener

This is an easy way for Vz to get rid off people. The grass isn’t greener nor is the pay and benefits anywhere else especially if you have a family. Think about that before you walk out the vz door because you didnt want to get vaccinated.

Culture of incompetence

Of all that is happening in this company, the worst is the rise of mediocrity. No one who is competent can stand the situation here for a long time. I know a person who left here after only two months upon realizing that his competencies would... — read more

Managing career ups and downs

Few years ago I was very happy and content working here. My work was appreciated, the manager was a fair and rational person, the atmosphere was competitive but not toxic. Now, I don't have a manager who is fair and whom I can trust, I work more than... — read more

Slow day at work?

I hate slow days. Gradually there was less and less work, and these days I have almost nothing to do. As weird as it sounds, I was much happier when I was overwhelmed with work so I didn’t have time to think about how miserable it is to work in this... — read more 

I have no intention of leaving before I am cut

So far, everything has been more or less in order, but now they have started to put pressure in all possible ways. Suddenly they do everything to make me think of myself as a bad employee after more than seven years of working here. Are they now... — read more 

Post-Thanksgiving retirement incentives

Despite the rumors, we all have been through this long enough to know that buyouts are always offered, usually last minute, and always off payroll by end of December. This year seems the number will be lower for craft offers, but we all know some... — read more 

I was unnecessarily afraid

Now it is not clear to me what was I really afraid of. I hesitated for months to leave all this and then it turned out my fears were completely unfounded. As bad as I felt here and as much as I wanted to quit here, I constantly felt nervous about... — read more

Applying to many, many jobs

I sent out more job applications than I care to count. I applied for every job I could find. Unfortunately, what happens is that a lot of people apply for the same job. I'm getting worried I'll have to stay here for a long time because of that. Do... — read more

It would be nice to start the new year in a new company.

I don’t have any information but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if there were a lot of RIFs just before the end of the year. This is the first time I would love to be a target of holiday RIF. I don't have a plan, I don't have a lot of savings, but... — read more
