Planning has begun for the next round of VSP. Similar timelines as last year. Identical offer. I work in BR and heard it from several Directors. I guess this is the Hans way. Better than RIFs.

Now they are hiring kids off the street with no clue of how the telephone infastructure work...weird its not like they are paying them less either

What kind of a plan with positive results as end goal includes getting rid of nearly everybody with any experience and inside knowledge of how things work and replacing them with cheaper and significantly less skilled people? Can somebody please... — read more

Nobody knows what happened?

I'm thinking it can't be too long...

Just got an email that I’m moving from Wireless IT to whatever Verizon Data Services LLC is. I know big changes are coming but not sure what to expect from this.

Shank and team promised shareholders that they were replacing VZ employees with infy contractors and while doing that they were going to keep customer data safe. But due to lack of vision Shank is forced to give INFY "on site" prod access. Now infy... — read more

Do you like working for Verizon?

I was a sales rep, I got tire of the VZ BS. Unrealistic expectations, terrible commissions, poor customer service initiatives, constant layoffs, major disconnect from top to front line, and terrible culture. I couldn’t take it anymore, and went... — read more

Looks to me that anybody over 50 - or even those in their late 40s - are on the short list for layoffs - voluntary or not. Shouldn’t age be considered an asset instead of a liability? Yes, it comes with higher pay but it also comes with more... — read more

Any news on Basking Ridge, NJ layoffs?
