2 IT VPs were fired but not IT CIO yet. Lot of discussions around they favored vendor companies. Truth is Shankar Armugavelu and Vivek Gurumurthy favored Infosys. All IT VPs should be fired except 1 or 2 and most of the ED's and D's. Hire or Promote... — read more

I know of several people that collected a few weeks and then were denied.

Hans should have kept just his direct reports and the first layer managers from the bottom and sold off every directors, VPs, and sr managers to infosys at 3 for 1 price and kept all the talented IT employees to the company. That would have saved the... — read more

I don't know, maybe this is a stupid question, so if it is forgive me. In light of the rumors about further outsourcing of some segments of the company I was wondering, if that situation was to happen are they in obligation to perform a buyout like... — read more 

I am not complaining , but why did VZ give that 5 year extension ? Work is slow , no o t and a lot of temps . Some of us probably won’t take an eisp if offered because we still have 4 years guaranteed . So what did they do it for ? Is a sale coming ?

Will it affect us in any way? Other then more people with same knowledge and expertise being laid off from both companies and saturating the job market in our field? Which, in all honestly, is the only thing I'm worried about. The harder it is to... — read more

Don't like layoffs. But if you're in a bisuness unit built around a product, and the Swedish Chef announces a new org structure built around customer type, the writing was on the wall. This. How can people still be surprised by or unprepared for... — read more 

I’m taking the rumor about further outsourcing very seriously. It’s something that’s very realistic and logical. Obviously, the earlier wave of outsourcing to Infosys work out for the VZ leadership, in terms of cost-saving and what was achieved with... — read more

Last Thursday was rough for the Verizon Connect world. Many great people got let go from departments that directly work with our customers. All while the motto is putting customers first, yet the company will run leaner and have unmanageable... — read more 

Is anyone hearing that I.T. will be outsourcing network change management? What else is going to IBM, Infosys, etc?

Doesn’t anyone have anything positive to say about the company they work for or does everyone truly believe the company is getting rid of all its employees?

Sad to say this, especially as I have in my mind that the business looked like 10 or 15 years ago. The fact is that a career process of getting a job working hard, expanding your knowledge, skills, giving everything to the company and then retiring... — read more
