Just wishing all a happy 4th of July. Union, non-union ,BOD, etc. Happy 4th of all of our US based employees.

No RIF. Enjoy the holiday weekend. Stop dwelling on that. With that said if you are mgt, dwell on getting out of debt. All debts. Pay everything off now. Do not put it off. So if you get riffed down the road it won't be as bad.

Layoffs coming by EOY. All MAM accounts and some MAMs will be moved to the WBG. SMB will be rolled into Retail. Senior Managers and Reps at risk. Managing Partners are aligning themselves to move to WBG. They already know about this here.

Glad your lazy asses stayed out and fought for me NOT to have a pension or job security!!! By the way ur red shirts do nothing good for your stupid cause and you deserve to get fired for not following company dress code!!!

No one should want to see another person, and particularly a Verizon coworker, lose his or her job. I was management and had to work in a garage because I was told I had to. If I had walked the picket line, I would not have had a job to go back to... — read more 

A good sign. Haven't heard of a single rif.

Many departments to be hit tomorrow. Some notified today, the RIFs are here...

Any one have any news about Hilliard RA?

Been hearing layoffs coming this week, by end of the week. Does anyone have any ideas on what dept. will get hit? I mean what is left????? B2B, retail and consultants all got hit hard last time, just wondering if I should pack up my desk yet?

4 more days and you may be the one perp walked with a nice RIF. Hopefully it's all you ahole managers that were harassing picketers. Yes, we did record you.

and was given 2 day notice that I'd be working out of town for the next two weeks. Overwhelmingly ratified my @ss!

In Hilliard Ohio, rumor is going around that leadership is requesting "big finds." Is this so they can prove ones worth? RA director is leaving for a new job within the company and her replacement opening is in Lake Mary. Relocation maybe?

So two techs were placed on unpaid leave because they were found in a bar during work hours. Watch your back kiddies, they are out for blood. Personally, I'm glad if they find techs doing things wrong and they fire them. We are not here to protect... — read more
