I was off my buddy try to say his manager mentioned that a EISP was being announced.Anyone hear any real info that was new
Knowledge dump and lack of leadership
Decreasing bureaucracy would make sense if the people left had basic knowledge of systems. As the staff has been critically cut simple repair jobs take days instead of hours. AI cannot replace hands. We should have executed a paced transition plan to... — read more
2nd quarter earnings, two views
I was curious about why the message from Verizon sounded so different from the Wall Street Journal. I asked Google to explain the differences. "Verizon's official corporate communications emphasize positive operational highlights like subscriber... — read more
Exec Reposting Earnings
Comical how execs reposting today’s earnings — see Dan, “I’m a company man” please don’t fire me I knew all along you were great. Oh, I’m also an AI expert! Lol
Dan is the man!
While Hans was busy leasing expensive real estate in nyc and posting instagram photos of his sad run time, Dan is boosting the stock price to new levels! He is going to turn VZ into the new x/ twitter!
Little VZ stock pop is due to the Iran conflict heating up, NOT due to VZ leadership decisions
AT&T and TMO are also up. Look at the history of these telecom stocks. They go up when the other equities go down due to market risks increasing (wars, rising oil, etc.). Grandma clutches her pearls tighter and moves her money to utilities. She'll... — read more
Finally, Dan addresses that satellites CANNOT overtake the ground based network, and even mentioned Physics!
Of course, there will still be the Starlink stock pumpers on here who think we are all flat earthers. Looks like someone coached Dan about how Starlink CANNOT take away from the terrestrial networks in a very substantial way. Physics! Per Dan... — read more
Data centers/fiber/AI Connect
Can anyone in the know (VBG I guess?) comment on what Dan said about data centers and selling fiber today? Is this a viable business?
Bureaucracy
Dan talked about eliminating bureaucracy and said communication below Band 5 isn’t flowing effectively. The reality is that nothing will change unless the organization is truly flattened. My organization just went through a massive reorg, and I... — read more
For the early in career programs/VLDP people, how is everything going?
Ex-Verizon here. Seeing all these RIFs even after I left still hurts. And each time, I see people that I used to work with put on the open to work banner on LinkedIn. I initially joined Verizon as part of an early in career development program right... — read more
Still better than Hans
Sorry, not sorry.
Dan
How many times will I need to hear his sp-t?
Dan in the data center business
This guy is so full of it. Now he’s saying he’s going to transform central offices to data centers he’s full of it and no one believes him. Stock will go back down next week
DAN EXTENSION
The board extended the old man to December of 2028 Verizon is sc--wed
VZ Earnings
Foe this group, one thing for sure Dan will continue to do what is “wowking”. These messages is what he lives for, not you. https://www.verizon.com/about/news/verizon-delivers-record-2q26-results
Evil
Dan and his evil cronies fired you to buy back $1b worth of shares. Just evil
Verizon 3.0
Verizon needs to skip Hans/DEI 2.0 and announce Verizon 3.0. Verizon 3.0 is going back Verizon 1.0 and motivate/reward performance on results and execution. Call Denny Strygal/Ivan. It's impossible to execute with current Board and C-Suite... — read more
Rebadging & retirement-elegible employees
Does VZ allow retirement-eligible employees to decline a rebadge so they can be treated as if it were an involuntary separation and retire effectively, preserving all the retirement benefits? Hopefully someone here has first hand knowledge.
Verizon revenue down, profits falls, added new subscribers
As per WSJ, revenue is down and profit falls Positive that we added new subscribers. I think they are not very profitable subscribers. https://www.wsj.com/business/earnings/verizon-revenue-ticks-down-profit-falls-on-joint-venture-costs-01726dbf
New hires are leaving as fast as they join
I asked our newest hire why she joined despite so much bad press surrounding Verizon and cuts. She said the recruiter was really persuasive and she needed a job fast. Not even a month in, she's already updating her LinkedIn. I'd like to laugh, but... — read more
He need to fire talent management
They clearly don’t know how to incentivize people. We demand top performers, pay the mediocre salaries, and turn them into the laziest versions of themselves. If the compensation team had competent people, this place would have been Amazon. Instead... — read more
Why the Fios is the no incentive to perform here?
The laziest bro and the highest performer make the same and have the same career progression. This is a radical thought, Incentivize people to not su-k
Business Transformation getting Executives fired
I heard there was a BT team that got the old VPs/SVPs of base management and CS fired by pointing out how terrible their decisions were. How does one join this team?
Stock 43
So glad i sold ton of shares when it hit $50 for a few minutes !
B2B mangers are going to target people who need help all the time
An email was sent out last night that went to a lot of B2B Managers are to target reps who “lean” on them to much. This is a grossly obvious tactic to weed out people who ask for help a lot. We also find it odd that the manager that sent it out is... — read more
Are you still here because you have to or because you want to?
Are you staying @VZ because you believe in the company or because you don't have another option?
Do ADs decide who gets RIFed
I’ve seen high performers get RIFed…if they’ve been on their ADs sh-t list. Does that imply AD had a say in the job loss? Serious feedback please no trolling
IT Rebadging?
Anyone heard about IT rebadging? It seems it is coming soon.
Who's everyone using for phone provider now
With losing the employee discount it's not worth staying with verizon I need cheap and works most the time. If you found any deals share I thing everyone would appreciate
Anyone Else Interested in Voting Out the Union?
What if Verizon rewarded performance instead of seniority? A non-union workplace could allow merit-based raises, faster promotions, and stronger one-on-one relationships between employees and management. High performers should have the opportunity to... — read more
EISP for union associates soon sounds the count down started 3 weeks out
I’m hearing the whispers of an EISP around August 10!!Sounds like an across the board offer.Nothing special just the regular EISP.But sounds like no restrictions
Lake Mary to close in 2028? Is this true?
Potentially cutting the lease early and relocating because salaries have inflated there and everyone’s demoralized, etc. Is this true? How would moving the whole operation again help with morale?
Wfh is good for avoiding layoffs, just have your story straight
Just seem busy whenever a manager calls. Otherwise put your feet up and watch YouTube and relax. The work isn’t that hard here. It’s still good, just don’t be visible and they’ll forget about you
I keep wondering when this cycle of layoffs will finally stop
They can't keep cutting forever, eventually there won't be anyone left to cut. But even if it does stop, is there any reason to stay? Whoever's left will just be expected to do the all the work of everyone who was cut, for the same pay. I don't see a... — read more

Kick Butt 2Q Earnings
Tune in later this week for a big beat!!!
For those laid off in December 2025, Cobra bills are coming!
You can call them to let them know you don't want to continue Cobra. Or you can just ignore the bills if you don't feel like wasting half an hour on the phone.
AI not so safe ?
Two OpenAI artificial intelligence models autonomously went rogue, broke out of their secure testing environment, and hacked into the systems of rival platform Hugging Face in an unprecedented cybersecurity incident. What do think of that Dan ?
