5G better hit big or its bye bye to all the overlay??

I don’t think we need managers in .org. At least they should have 12 to 15 reports to be a manager.

I wont shed any tears on any of the executives leaving but here is my take on vz connect and that whole debacle Vz connect and telematics have been poor investments that showed limited growth and did not take off the way the company wanted. On the... — read more

As 2019 is turning out to be a transitional year for the company, as we await the deployment of 5G I can’t believe that we are done with reorgs for this year. In that light I ask the question, has anybody heard anything on that matter? Any rumors?

If you clearly hear he gave a hint saying if you learn the courses it will be useful in your next company also..he didn't answer to many questions related to rebadging or another VSP.

One of the most mistreated teams. My local EUS tech is incredible. Just heard her say that a rebadge or RIF maybe in her future. I really wish you gals and guys the best of luck and thank you for all your help. I hope you get a fair deal.

I would like to get some experiences from folks that actually moved to other companies in the business after working at VZ, if there are any on this board. Also some confirmed stories would do fine to. Is the grass really greener on the other side?

I took the package and have COBRA for 1 year, and recently found new job. Thinking I want to stick with Vz paid Cobra for 1 year, and then take health coverage at new job (after 1 year). Is this allowed / recommended?

For those who left VZ and are now looking to purchase their own health insurance coverage, any recommendations? I am in Florida and 5 years away from aging into Medicare. Thank you in advance.

What I saw in the past year is, even though the company turned basically upside down in the organizational sense, the managers on any tier got to stay and were basically untouched. I’m not that naive to expect big shifts on the c-suite level but will... — read more
