Multiple store closings, district realignments, DMs laid off. More to come.

This new name is ridiculous!

She turned a 100 billion dollar company (yahoo) into a 5 billion dollar company, and only got paid $900,000 a week to do it. Plus she's a man hater. She'd fit right in.

I’m an April 6 reduction survivor – if you’re unlucky enough to inherit a micromanaging supe and manager who give micromanaging a new meaning and love witch hunts, follow these steps and you too can joyfully skip down the aisle (like I wanted to)... — read more 

And here we go. I now have my 9th manager in 5 years time. Of which at least 4 were sacked to my knowledge. Starting to get ridiculous.

Here's a nice summary of the hubris and stupidity behind Go90 https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/06/01/i-still-cant-believe-verizon-spent-200-million-on.aspx

In Silver Spring the strikers busted the windshield of a lady going to her assignment. That I know for a fact. There were and are plenty of union pigs but also many others who acted like humans who I have great respect for. But those bad apples are... — read more

R Verizon workers really go help lead the autom@tion/robot efforts that leadership wants? That does not seem good for employees. To meeee that soundz like a w@y to elimin@te Verizon workers jobs.

Do you know if Tulsa and Orlando were affected by layoffs and if they are planning to cut Finance staff. Thank you!

A World Class Finance Organization will only happen at Verizon when you have a world class management team. That will never happen at Basking Ridge HQ Finance team.

You don't understand Millennials and you never will. None of the companies that you wish to emulate are led by the elderly, or the out of touch. The problem is not the employees, the problem is you. It is long past time to activate the Golden... — read more 

If your job is moved to another office - what is the rule for it to be severance eligible? The new office has to be at least 50 mikes from the okd office? Or from your home?

Glassdoor is absolutely pay to play for employers, and is there a major scam. I know this because I recently left a job at a company where everyone was miserable and desperately looking to leave. Very high attrition -- and every time that someone... — read more

Where do I send my bill for overtime pay I never got paid for ? I worked 26 Sunday's for 7 years and never got paid for that time. Total owed me is about $40,000.

So just received word that a location in our district, Georgia will be closing end of June. Anyone know about any more stores closing?

Anyone hearing rumors about an eisp coming soon to the wireline side? There are a lot of retirement seminars being offered lately and a lot of coworkers are getting mailings from companies wanting to manage your lump sum/401k.

VZW has way too many Managers who just sit on their a-- send emails and watch dashboards. The quotas are unrealistic. They find a way to raise your quota and pay you less year over year. They are clueless as to what Sales people face on the street.

What a colossal waste of time and money. There was a group of women in the Irvine (wireless) call center that couldn't get enough of it. I'm glad they're all gone. All it did was take people away from their jobs for hours practicing this non sense... — read more 

I need to get a job at Verizon again just to come back and mess everything up. Do you think anyone would notice what I am doing ?

So just got back from the big Operations Summit in NJ for the WBG group. I can't believe that TJ Foxx had the nerve to say to everyone that the EMPLOYEES are not working hard enough and its not Leaderships fault for the recent decline. The employees... — read more

I have the Anthem PPO for a family and I heard it's around $1400 per month(health insurance only, not including vision or dental) for up to 18 months. Just wanted to check and see if that's accurate. Anticipating a gap of a few months between my next... — read more 

Hmmmmmm I wonder if this means HUGE buyouts.

Anyone else relieved to have received their offer letter today? I'm so glad that that the VZ cluster blank days are drawing to a close. S---s the benefits are not as good, but they are not bad. I wonder IBM if will sue VZ when they realize that 90%... — read more 

I have seen several commercials with that new "millennial" pitch man for Verizon and he makes my skin crawl. What to you think of the slim bucket?

To all the 5/5/17 fellow RSS vzw laid off-ers. Has anyone received their severance check yet or have a definitive date when you will get it? I was told by payroll that I "should" have it in my bank on 5/25.

I am afraid I do not see the value in the short range 5G that others do; especially at the price point that Verizon will be demanding. IoT is doomed until there is a standard on security and device interface, people still want the fiber/cable... — read more 

With the orangeburg new york building?

It's not 2007 Verizon. Your network is pretty much on par with AT&T and T Mobile. Drop the better network garbage it holds no weight these days. Why pay more for data if the coverage is the same?

Get ready big red TMobile is still more competitive than you have been. Time to retune those outdated financial models in HQ Finance.

What is going on with the stock? Will it ever rebound?

Preparations falling into place for next RIF. Life rafts are at a minimum.

Why are people scrambling to stay ? There are other jobs out there....Every day i talk to Vzw employees who are applying for jobs internally and not hearing any response at all. Not even an email saying you are not being considered. Some have applied... — read more
