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

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.

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

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?

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?

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
