One of our friends is on strike this morning. Verizon laid off 8,000 workers last year and went and hired 6,000 in India for IT and customer services. Many often think of phone, internet and cable as being safe jobs that cant be outsourced, but they... — read more 

The safety violations out there are mind blowing!! EWA and contractors alike are disregarding basic safety. Wall Street journal has pick today of a manager on a trouble in sneakers. In the field, I see daily.....No helmets. No vests. No chalks/cones... — read more 

A little extreme, I would say.

EWAs are giving up their time. Strikers are giving up their pay. But, for how long? At what point will the EWAs, their bank accounts fat with OT checks, move on to other opportunities outside Verizon? At what point will strikers give up on the union... — read more

Unions, by their very nature, are opposed to this idea. For you who support unions for skilled labor. Can you, without using explosives and name calling, help me understand your position?

Switch to Verizon from your current carrier and you pay us up to $700 per line. Why? Because Better Matters!

I agree to work for a lower wage than the next guy. I agree to work for less benefits than the next guy. I agree to work more hours than the next guy. I agree to put Verizon before my family. No matter how bad the decisions made by the executives... — read more

potential buyers have to honor that contract. Can you hear me now? The CWA is finished at VZ. At the end of the month, those who want to keep their jobs will cross. Those who don't will be gone, for good. It doesn't matter how poorly the EWAs are... — read more 

Tell old Mr. Withers: Keep what we have now, bring back layoff's, full membership security, 5 year contract and $500 sign on for every week we're out. That's OUR best final offer.

AQ was spotted doing a fiber voice migration for a 90 year old woman. When she told him all she wanted was her copper service fixed, he threatened to punch her in the face so she took it. I hope he entered it into Sell One More. Now he can get that... — read more

Far fewer picketers than expected, hundreds of brothers and sisters secretly crossing picket lines and former union members from other telcos being temp-hired to scab. This union has no teeth. We should've walked out at Christmastime.

and yet I look out the window and I see there is a wire going to everyone's house for their broadband, isn't that wire a LANDLINE? You guys must be from some bumblef*ck place and you think all wireline is for pots dial tone! Lots of wireline in... — read more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64bdsQWUbA0 The Truth Hurts for Verizon Executives who Trashed a Once Great Company

The EWA staff had training for one week almost a year ago. This all falls on Lowell McAdam. The Work load is going through the roof...No installs are being done, and Verizon customers are suffering. Lowell must go.

I am a customer, love the product, would love if it was cheaper, but it's still OK, I recommend it to anyone. Why Verizon is not pushing this product with more force? I work in Oil and Gas and I've spent quite a bit of time on this board since I was... — read more

Folks are so happy to have a pay check - they're in denial that VZ isn't such a great place after all. You should expect a company and it's leaders to treat all employees with respect. VZ is a place for the old-timers C-suite to get rich and remain... — read more
