He’s going to pump you up!

I'd jump at this opportunity if it weren't for the too expensive medical for my family once sixty days expire. I can't tell you how disappointing this is for me, because I was actually certain I'd accept the offer when it was just a speculation if I... — read more 

Instead, VZ should have cut 10% of employees salaries including executives salaries (penalizing everyone instead of punishing bottom most employees who does the work), which would have saved more then 10B dollars if the company is at the loss or... — read more

I can't wait to see how many U.S. people will reject the InfoSys offer. I think the numbers will not be good based on the people I've talked to.

I believe people have time until 11/10 to submit their decision, so it doesn’t make sense to lay off people who might take the package? Wouldn’t layoff come after they figure out how many people accepted it?

I have it on good authority that on 11/22 there will be gatherings in every territory nationwide where they’ll talk turkey.

There are continued rumors about an 11/5 announcement... Does anyone know what this could be?

Has anyone heard rumors about going back to Texas in 2021?

They did this in 2003. 15 years later they do it again. All they are doing is cutting higher salary employees replace them with lower cost employees. Then they will later rinse repeat in 15 yrs... Circuit City did something like that and look how it... — read more

What's with the "added" Chief of Staff roles in Retail? Never had them before, why add ANOTHER unnecessary position?

I opted in at 6AM the day it opened. I have enough in 401K, Pension and an IRA to be more than ready. I would have been happy with a regular RIF package so this 60/60 version is like winning the lotto. My boss knows I have long been ready to exit and... — read more

The 44K....So if you don’t take the VSP...Will they just outsource the rest next year to get to the 44K???

I actually updated my LinkedIn profile at the beginning of VSP and started interviewing. There are jobs in IT, but none of them come close to VZ's overall package. Some are contracting. Some require relocation, many need 75% of travel. I that is with... — read more

Where are the Verizon leaks coming from? Admins? How do you guys know all of this in advance and before it's publicly announced. The amount of leaked info is amazing.

RIF? Contract out? Safe?

With the fact that not many people moving to Infosys, it will be a big trouble in 3 areas. 1) New hires will not have the domain knowledge and it takes forever to learn. 2) Each existing employee working on multiple projects (covering 2 to 3 staff... — read more
