Who's gonna be p-ss-d if they accept the offer and then are denied by Verizon after all?
No calls in to Verizon
Network has been down 30+ minutes. Customers (BGCO and employee line at least) are down. Someone sent me a text so I tested it... called the employee line and got a strange message that my call was being transferred and then the call dropped TWICE... — read more

Retail Packages coming 10/01/2018
this is already public knowledge quit acting surprised. I was told 10% of retail must be off the books by year end. And if enough people dont take the retail packages then forced layoffs would occur.
Wireless and more Wireline packages coming (Before Holidays)
*GM's will experience some cuts leading to some GM's running mutiple stores in a district (This was trialed several months ago in GLE but was decided against at that time) *Solutions Managers and Solution Specialist will be eligible for packages... — read more
Pysch!
So got the email to check eligibility only to find out not eligible even though have over ten years with the company. Why even send this email to non eligible people? It is just a big FU from the company.
[[[CONFIRMED]]] Wireless Packages Coming
I just got off of a market wide VES and IT conference call and at the end during the questions and answers part someone asked if retail would be getting a package to which the answer was yes but no other details were given.
Will they seriously accept everyone’s offer to separate?
I can’t think that they’ll accept everyone’s offer to separate. I get the feeling that they offered this to everyone just to “include” them if they’re currently retained but are going to be cut. But they can’t get rid of every EUS person; there are... — read more
besides the layoffs
in the wireless end, this company needs to go the route of Wells Fargo, eliminate high quotas and goals that are unachievable. You managers set the bar too high that its not achievable and than sales reps will do unethical practices to hit their... — read more
A question
What happens if I don't want to accept the offer and Verizon really wants me out? I'm assuming that would put me at the top of the list for the next layoffs, but all things considered, it still seems like a better option than what I am being offered... — read more
Can somebody clarify this for me?
Do I have this right?, the company is offering a retirement incentive (to some) but then will outsource whole sections of the company to India? Excuse me but ... Didn't they just get a 17 billion dollar tax savings from the Trump tax cuts?
Still no email
Anybody else here still hoping the email will arrive? I can't understand why I seem to be the only one who hasn't received it.

On a fence
So I am eligible and buyout as per About You page it is about 190K for 19 years of service. I am 45 and not manager. Do not have any offers lined up from other companies either. Not sure what to do, if I can find comparable job around here. Not sure... — read more

This seperation package is better than an EISP
For all the Union people that say management and wireless will be RIF’d, you have to at least appreciate that some employees are getting an EISP-type program. Rebadging isn’t too bad for the first year either, not unlike when Union headcount got sold... — read more
When will the next round of lay-off happen?
Let’s say enough people take the offer... does the mean the rest will be safe from lay-off for at least another 6 months? And how soon can we expect another round of “involuntary” layoff if not enough people take it?
The Feeling is Mutual
Verizon could careless about their employees and with today’s fiasco the feeling is mutual. It is clear some higher ups most likely A--hole Hans and others are benefiting from the Infosys deal. They shafted V team, just so they could lineup their... — read more

This is why they brought in Hans...
He did the same thing at Ericcson. He's a finance guy, not network. He couldn't get 5G launched for them so that's not why VZ brought him in. He's there to make cuts and help the bottom line. That's it... As simple as that. Ericsson on Borrowed Time... — read more

Eisp next?
After they lose a lot of managers through this latest offer, one can only hope there will be an eisp soon to get rid of some associates....hopefully a lot of titles and locations!
Layoffs to follow
I know everybody believes enough people will accept the offer, but what if they don't? How soon can we expect layoffs and how bad they'll be once the numbers are tallied and it turns out not enough people are on the list? Or there are enough people... — read more

Rejection option
