I was a VSP’er in December and filed for unemployment and had an appeal hearing and was denied. Was told no employee of Verizon that “volunteered” to leave will be approved for unemployment in any state so anyone saying they got it is lying!

I think our leadership figured out that laying of in only a certain part of the company makes those layoffs, more or less stealth on the level of the whole company, given the company size and the fact that it operates at various locations. Think they... — read more

The fact that there are fewer and fewer threads reporting layoffs on this board, even though they are happening on a daily basis just gives me the entire picture of the ill environment that we’re all faced at VZ in this time. Seems that people have... — read more

Please try to get a grasp on technology, wireline is probably Verizon’s most valuable asset. Entire cities will require an enormous amount of bandwidth that wireless quite frankly doesn't have the capacity to handle. Verizon is investing in the... — read more 

Imagine if we didn’t get a contract extension ? Right now work is slow , what do you think would have happened this August ?

Anyone that took the VSP in NY apply for unemployment and get it?

Read the threads on this board about the future of wireline and I have to agree with the people claiming that this part of the company is not in any immediate danger of being dismantled. However, that shouldn't be a fact that shout comfort the... — read more

Has anyone who was offered infosys job but took ESP instead been approved for CA unemployment?

I'm a old timer maintenance tech, I don't know why VZ doesn't just deny service and turn wireline off. It obviously cost more money to keep it repaired than what's it worth. Maybe it's like a 57 Chevy in Cuba and they have no choice but to keep it... — read more 

Anyone hearing anyone in MA getting unemployment?

Does Verizon ever offer raises or other incentives to keep people who are planing to quit? I haven't heard about this until a coworker who was on his way out decided to stay - and while he didn't tell us exactly way, he did say he got a better offer... — read more

12/28 and 3/22 VSPers - anyone successfully receive unemployment in the state of CA?

Barely showing up, 30 min coffee breaks every few hours, arriving late and leaving early. These are the people that "exceed" expectations. 'tis life in BR. I want to report this to someone, but I feel like it would just put the target on my back.

It’s obvious that as the company moves more and more towards wireless wireline will become more of a burden to VZ. Honestly I thought they were gonna do something to wireline already. Any indication, what is going to happen to that segment of the... — read more 

This is twice today that negative Vivek threads have been deleted. I wonder who is getting them deleted and why? Maybe we should start a separate thread for each negative Vivek comment and see if they can keep up with getting them deleted.

Verizon media is by far the most valuable asset of VZ. Look at gems like yahoo , aol and tumblr. Now I know this thread is a praise so the censors will not touch it.

It was done with no taste at all. We we're scheduled for a 30 min conference call where they thanked us for our time but we are no longer needed. We have 30 days to find something within the company we will only get 2 weeks per year and 2 week per... — read more
