For everyone thats getting let go, make sure you absolutely DESTROY these yahoos on Glassdoor. Dont let someone new suffer your fate. ZERO the CEO ratings.

Verizon announced late last month that it was disbanding their local news network entirely laying off nearly 200. A move that baffled most as network was formed to compete with cable giant and number 1 competitor Cablevision's News Channel 12 in the... — read more 

I find it a little odd that nobody is reporting layoffs. Can it really be that there aren’t any at this moment?

Who here can remember a year (or even a month) in the past decade Verizon was not having some kind of reorganization? Small reorgs, major reorgs, vertical reshuffling, horizontal reshuffling, merging, divesting...you name it, we've done it. But... — read more 

What’s up with that ? There has to be more to that than just using their news stations . Goodbye fios news and probably goodbye to some other things

The i-got-no pula survey is back for another quarter. Only 5 questions and no open ended ones. Talk about a waste of time and effort.

I heard the company is looking to make a really sweet offer to craft. Also heard from a credible source the union is fighting it tooth and nail because they don't want to lose the dues units. If the Union gets its way like it did a few years ago the... — read more 

How likely is it for another VSP to be offered in 2020? Thoughts?

Well we are six months in the new world of 2.0. For those who stayed, how’s it going? At first, it was a scramble to “figure out” the new roles in April. And then the floodgates opened. I’ve never been busier since the end of April and everyone... — read more 

At my garage there is no work other then the flagging/2nd man division, they seem to be busy all the time chasing car bumpers. What is going on, and how long can this keep up before something gives? Buyout? Layoffs? Any word.

I don't mean that literally. Layoffs will always be a threat. My question is when will the company have the form that the leadership plans it to have, and where there will bee no fear of mass restructuring?

I've been stuck at my position when I should have moved up a while ago because my manager doesn't want to lose me - he even let it slip once (not in so many words, but that was the gist.) I thought about going over his head, but that could easily... — read more 

As I find myself working every day this Labor Day weekend, I think back to last year when I had 3+ days off working at Vz. But, hey, i get paid more at my current job, right? More money may not be the answer if it tilts your life to no time... — read more

Seriously folks, If you want a company to prosper there's been enough research done that the employees should be happy, not overworked, should not be competing against each other or put in a ring match and should be cared and feel a part of the... — read more 

It took me forever to make the decision to start looking for a new job. Kept going back and forth, back and forth on it for a long time. Finally, I took out layoffs out of my considerations. I asked myself, if we still had job security, would I be... — read more

How likely is for something like that to occur in the near future?

VZ is hiring back folks that were sold to INFY in this great "profit making" deal. They have already hired couple folks back to Finance IT as they have figured out that the new 2.0 leaders mostly qualified for the reasons of Nepotism and friendships... — read more

Quick question... I am 45years old with 15 years of service as a service field technician in Maryland, do you think Verizon will ever attempt to freeze the pension during contract negotiations? After reading that some of the pensions range from... — read more 

If there are any of these people on this board, I would appreciate if they posted how has life been for them after VZ.

Gatt× age× service÷mortality....what is the formula?? Does anybody know

What do you guys think about the work life balance at Verizon ? I work in IT and have two kids.. and on the brink of a break down... My boss obviously does not care nor does the Shank's party of losers in 2.0. Some one needs to fix this... — read more 

News/ latest updates on the upcoming layoffs (Even though some of you are saying that they're not going to be any layoffs, what's the definitive information?)

This is just my logic and my hunch, but as this was a pretty turbulent year at Vz, I tend to think that they will want to sum up all that they’ve been doing to cut costs and arrive in the new year with a lesser workforce. Is that something that could... — read more 

A lot of financial advisors are saying that a package is coming, the reputation will be on the line if it’s not true. Ssdac and Service reps were told by their district managers.

1340s and above are safe for now. Get your Q-7 certification ASAP as it's being used in the red team/blue team rankings. Don't forget your 780-Cs and all earlier 1465(a) certs, as these are being used for evals too.

Hoping that some of the smart people here can enlighten me on this subject. I completely understand how the GATT rate going up or down affects the lump sum amount but I do not quite understand how your age plays into the figure. I've been told by... — read more

I ask that, in light of the talk that there will be no VSP offered this year, and that we can’t expect to see any sort of a buyout any time soon. If that, in fact, is the case should we fear from a wave off mass involuntary layoffs this year, when... — read more
