With the entire 5G build out for residential data customers, it seems as if 5G will be offered in the same footprint as Fios. Do you think they may sell Fios off to anyone such as Frontier?

Please don't hijack this thread with any of the usual craft vs management BS. I legit am curious if craft will be receiving this plan too.

I just saw the program announced today and it seems to be much better (at least in the long term) than the profit sharing it is replacing. The grant amount is based only on location, # of hours and pay band. As a full time band 6 individual... — read more 

I'm a young person. Will going away from profit sharing and doing company stock screw us over as time goes on? How does this affect taxes?

Off all the sources I checked this seems like the best place to get an honest answer...

The future is finally here.

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised they haven't started already.

Any guesses for 2020? I'ma say 100.

12/28 VSP here. My VZ paid COBRA will be done in 30 days. There is the VZ Acess Pre Medicare plan but for single coverage I am looking at around $1100 a month with basic Dental. Anyone using Medishare? If so does it really work?

Heared 151 in FAA1 how about Nassau and Suffolk

I left. haha Hahaha haha. Hahaha hahahahaha ha haha Ha haha hah!

Just a reminder to people who are worried about being laid off from somebody who was already impacted: everything is going to be okay. There are plenty of companies that want your knowledge and expertise and are willing to pay for it and treat you... — read more 

Just wondering if anyone has a link or phone number or really any information about the second half of the stock bonus? I was part of the VSP and I do not remember when they said the second half of the bonus would be released.

Does anyone have any idea? Just to be clear, I mean the real number of people that have been let go in one way or another, so I would appreciate if there are no comments like : Google it, or check the headcount on the company website….

A lot of outside techs are being combined into large groups, new locations for most.

Is it just me, or is mediocrity not only tolerated but celebrated at Verizon?

My lump sum pension amount went down 2.5% in January from what it is in December. I thought January’s rates were better, but I guess not.

What ad firm designed that? Is it supposed to be a rocket? A telephone pole? Part of male anatomy? I cannot think of what this image possibly represents. Best guess anyone?

Rumor is there will be some directors who have been notified and will be off payroll end of year

Hearing rumors of big changes in the indirect channel who can shed some insight as to what’s going on????

How long will it take for 5G to turn on significant rev/profit growth ? Will it look like bump from smartphones or something far less? Personally I have no need for 5G that I can think of - maybe fixed 5G if it could beat price/performance of my... — read more 

Word has it, they hired all the temps for opt..

And if so, when well they tell us?

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy But here's my number, so call me maybe And all the other boys try to chase me But here's my number, so call me maybe Looking forward to that call and coming home baby!

What has been your experience working for Infosys? Anyone still there after one year ?

Word on the street is that Verizon has started to offer full time employment back to people that took the VSP. Could this be true and if so does it show that they made the mistake of letting some of the most talented employees leave?

This last offer had an “off payroll” date of 12/21. Place your guess as to when the company will see fit to tell people whether or not they are retiring or not I’m guessing 12/16.
