Wouldn't the work sold in the Agfa contract announced today be done by the IT folks? So if that is a fact....I'm wondering how the work got rewarded to VZ. Did Agfa get snookered? Will Infosys really be doing the work? I know this is a layoff forum... — read more

Right now there is a huge holding pattern going on at the low level management ranks due to the vsp. There is significant uncertainty over who is leaving. The 12/10 timeline on notification is quite increadible given that a very large number of... — read more 

I think those that got an offer will find out if they are accepted. And I think upper management will have some scrambling to do. But overall, they won't make a general announcement with any numbers. That will kill morale among those staying. Oh... — read more 

I know 12/10 is the official date, but who is getting feedback from their mgmt on VSP being accepted and possible leave dates? My management is mostly silent, but my colleague was told his date will get pushed to March.

CPM, absolutely the truth, we are being written up and coached out of our jobs. You are right most customers walk in the door and say I want this or I want that, nobody comes in as says tell me what phone I want and why. When I ask some of these... — read more

Use glass door and let your voice be heard!! Senior leaders actually read that.

I'll be honest- I clicked the button and am scared to death I won't get it. Maybe my tenure of a decade isn't enough. Maybe they'll find a way to keep me around for "needs of the business". Anyone else afraid they won't be let go?

I generally don’t take these predictions seriously, but I got to admit that there is a lot of logic to the general factors that are presented in this article, for which the author claims that they will negatively impact the company stock. In any... — read more

Is this something the corporation created to keep everyone at each other while the ones at top rake in millions and use both sides to mask their rather shady decisions and stock manipulation

Maybe Verizon should repost the VSP for 30 days. I’m sure they would get more to click.

Why not give the button pushers and everyone they "targeted" originally their off-payroll date on 12/10 with the full VSP package? There were a lot of fence sitters and wait and see types that didn't push. That would remove all ambiguity and make the... — read more

There is only one team leader per application. The rest of team is made up by Infosys. If you are in band 6, you will be safe for now until the next round. This is the model for IT transformation, but preserve the domain knowledge.

I have heard from reliable sources that Verizon is asking for Cushman to take over taking care of buildings in New York city and boroughs but not Suffolk and Nassau counties? Wonder why they are left out.

Shame that high caliber past Credo Folks/tek Leaders taking VRS. What it means is VZ is not giving opportunity to grow....What it means is favoritism rule the company. Give me some thing in four words to describe it...

Due to the VSP, the network moratorium is going to be extended this year by at least 2 weeks... well into January. There's not enough people left to man the boat, and the engineering guys will be called in to do ops work. Unbelievable but true.

I am getting ready to put my two week notice in after Jan 1st. I have heard tbst your benefits run until the end of the month that you leave. Does anyone know if this is true?

A good day to announce it, I suppose. I really don't know how they're going to turn this around. Do they have a real plan here? Are they going to dump it and flush it away like Terremark and the other also-ran acquisitions? I'd love to know that... — read more

I backed out from VSP. Is it going to be in records for next layoff?

This is how I read it. Depending on your group's workload, the people with the most seniority will be let go first. That means some let go Dec, some March etc. Not sure what the big to do is about on this board. They want high payroll people off the... — read more
