Verizon has rifs all the time
I am an ex-Verizon employee who stays in contact with my former coworkers. Verizon has rifs all the time . I was rif'd last year. There was a big rif today in IT. I personally know several people who lost their jobs today. This is not some made-up... — read more
College student
I wrote a research paper on Verizon earlier this semester and happened to find this website while just doing some basic research and I must say this site makes for a great drinking game. No credible sources for the paper but extremely entertaining... — read more
Don't worry, you are highly intelligent and extremely marketable.
In the meantime us lazy, fat, drunk, and stupid union slobs will continue to try to make it through the holidays on our measly $100+k jobs. The seven weeks of unpaid vacation during the strike really hurt the pocket book. I just got my ewa assignment... — read more
Rifs at Bombay, I mean warren 30???

RIFalicious - You're gonna love this!
I got RIF'd over two years ago from Verizon. Best thing that ever happened. I've got a better job, better pay, better management and better work environment. So don't worry folks you'll be fine. But I just got this "job opportunity" email today ... — read more
When Disney tried to outsource to Indian it was national news, but when VZ does it not a peep.
Second year in a row for large scale layoffs at Verizon Wireless. Impacting all parts of the business, but particularly of interest are the IT layoffs. Those should be of interest because VZW is replacing those US positions with even more positions... — read more
IT Layoffs on Agile Day
The fervor over Agile methodology has hit an embarrassing new high in VZ. Agile Day, seriously? Does anyone still buy into this nonsense? Show me any successful shop that focuses strictly on Agile and disregards waterfall concepts. Change is... — read more
Ah .... The Holiday Season at Verizon
It's that time of the year where Verizon spreads the joy among the employees. My favorite Verizon holiday song is: I'll Be Home For Christmas ..... and New Years and President's Day and Valentine's Day and Memorial Day and 4th of July and ....
Confirmed Lay -Off in wireless, Little Rock
Many people in IT got impacted here.
Any confirmed layoffs this morning?
It is 8:30 here in Ohio - just wondering if there is any news of layoffs. Last year I was laid off via a phone call from my manager very early in the morning. I just got back into my pjs and went back to bed. Then my coworkers started calling/texting... — read more

Just in time for the holidays, yet another confusing fios commercial that only about 10% of consumers care to understand.
When is this leadership team going to realize that PRICE is the only thing that matters to today's consumer when it comes to home entertainment and wireless service? 9 out of 10 customers wouldn't notice a difference if they were receiving 25/25 data... — read more
Lots of talk on here about how wireless needs to organize and join a union.
Whatever happened to "the 44" from Pennsylvania that were laid off and now they have apparently been replaced with part-time workers? How many of those 44 got hired back with Verizon on a full-time basis? If you're one of "the 44" please let us know... — read more
Discrimination Cases
Just to be clear, filing an EEOC complaint is not breaking a severance agreement. People have even sued companies after accepting a severance agreement and they did not have to pay anything back. I researched many work discrimination cases and there... — read more
With AT&T you can watch direct TV, with Verizon the can watch Awesomeness TV.
If you haven't checked out Awesomeness TV you're missing out.
RIFd last week from Wireless L&D after roughly 12 years, final day 12/30.
Just found this site after world was rocked. I've always wished we were union, those remaining may want to unite. I have few questions though for those that have been RIFd in the past: Has anyone ever had a legitimate discrimination and possible... — read more
News In The H1B Visa Program.....Americans First Policy
In the area of employment, some immigration attorneys expect difficulty in expanding the H-1B visa program not only because of Trump, but also because Senator Chuck Grassley, the Republican Senator from Iowa, will be leading opponents of easing H1B... — read more
What's your prediction for Verizon's next big bad investment or idea for 2017?
Home security? 5g drones? How about go90 promotion through airline wireless monitors? How about Verizon 5g sneakers that track your every move and send the info directly to "big brother," a.k.a. Mc@hole? Now these are some out of the box ideas. I'm... — read more
The table has been set. Will Trump keep his word?
Verizon, keep jobs here in the U.S. and ship back all of the H1-B's or you will be fined/taxed out the @$$!
Union Employees Get Two Hours Of Paid Time To Vote On Tuesday
Use it! Hit Verizon where it hurts! Schedule allotted time with your manager! Happy voting!
What if we go with all part time employees ?
All y'all should feel blessed to at least have a job, right?
Drain the Swamp at Verizon
Maybe if we are lucky, the new wireless leader Rohan Dunne will drain the swamp of all the fools that are ruining this company.
The message from Verizon to it's employees is loud and clear.
You're not wanted as an employee and we're either going to lay you off or harass and make your life at work so miserable that you will quit. While you still are an employee, we're going to give you $hi# discounts so that you can pay more for our... — read more
Did anyone else notice that VLSS wasn't mentioned on the Viewpoints Survey?
They must not have been happy with the results they got last time.
WBG
WBG is horrible just a bunch of arrogant fools with made up meetings to justify their jobs. Everyone hates them including their own organization and Fox is a complete failure. Please disband this waste of an organization, the culture is negative and... — read more
