I think with all of the chatter and the recent layoffs this would be your time to come in and flip Verizon to union. People are afraid to lose their jobs and would, for once, have an open mind to the idea of unions. If the all of these posts are true... — read more

Heard last week that there will be major changes Q1 and more RIFs. Has anyone heard anything?
Maybe it's time retail gives the Union a try
have you noticed how much energy management puts into preventing the Union in retail? Then we still get let go. Maybe it's time we gave the Union a try in retail. Things couldn't be worse and they might actually help us.
WLS store support reorg announcement Monday
I doubt it is too big because there has been a lot of buddy protection and job changes going on since mid-October. But they do still operate as the region model so who knows.
A Store non-commission safe or not?
Been in an A store for awhile and survived the cuts a month ago that involved Exp Specialists and Ops. I was moved to the newly created Retail Support. Did they really just create this new position to lay us off 3 months later? Am I safe in an A... — read more
Verizon Wastes Over $25 Million Dollars On Its Internal "Rockstar" Competition
Source: I work in finance/accounting. This is between all internal marketing, prizes, travel costs, event space and entertainers. Seems like this money could be better spent on other things!

Viewpoint Survey
Did anyone else see the results on the 2016 Viewpoint Survey. I believe the results are totally bogus, or people are afraid to express what they really think in fear that your opinion could be tracked and retaliation would be taken against you. It's... — read more

Goodbye
Such a great feeling that I have been a loyal worker 20+years and Verizon can't be loyal to me. Funny enough we have "loyalty campaigns" aimed at keeping customers but Verizon has no loyalty to their own people. Burn in hell.
VZW STOP WASTING MONEY
Love that the Call Center that my office is in is closing and hundreds of people are losing their jobs yet they have decorated it with over the top stupid decorations and seems like they are trying to kiss up to people. Oh and I saw today that... — read more

The End of Verizon As We Know It
Let's all admit it.....it is coming. T-Mobile and Sprint are killing Verizon with their ads. Verizon isn't the network is once was clamored to be. Other networks are now within reach of Verizon to where the difference in network quality is... — read more
Solutions Manager be ready!

Verizon just got a good deal on refurbished Note 7's.
Buy one get one free, plus a free fire extinguisher with every purchase. Better matters.
Holy $hit! Did anyone just see the hum commercial during the Jets vs Patriots game? Verizon continues to burn advertising dollars on this loser.
What is this company doing? It's F'ing embarrassing! Do these old fogeys not realize that today's vehicle's are already equipped with either On-Star or some other type of GPS and that all vehicles now have maintenance notifications built in? Is there... — read more
Lowell and his fellow cronies continue to sabotage the landline division.

Doesn't sound like sales are going very well for the "Google Pixel Phone only on Verizon."
I love the comnercial with all of the customers outside of the store waiting to get in. Either they photo shopped the lines at a T-Mobile Store or maybe this was how the dream appeared to McDumb@$$ one evening. It's never a good sign when you have to... — read more
Verizon sold its cash producing properties to Frontier to get rid of the unions at Verizon.
Lowell and Fran are wireless types who it seems never really embraced the principles of what a communications company does, which is why they hate the unions and have little grasp of how to meet the customer's communication needs. These two 'rock... — read more
