At VZ it felt like hell knew my name...
But I'm at another company and I'm loving it. Wireless is the most dysfunctional workplace...You may get good pay and benefits, but it's not worth being around a group of psycho leaders. Life IS better after VZ!!!

Thankful for my "scab" job
During EWA, I had no choice but to travel many states away from my home to work in a job that was not of my own doing. I was called a scab many times. Calling me that didn't do a thing to my self worth. A scab forms over a wound caused by something... — read more
