Anyone knows the rules?
No customers for hours
We are going hours without customers here in the northeast. It’s becoming more often. Is anyone else experiencing this at their stores?
So what was the big plan anyway?
Newly appointed Dan has a meeting in November in which he said “AI, AI, AI , coffee” and said he’d be announcing his plan in a future meeting. Other than AI and 15,000 layoffs, what is his plan? Can anyone articulate it? Not being facetious, would... — read more
Ticketing Dispatch System Coming Soon
Verizon is currently conducting time and motion studies: The Core Concept A "Time and Motion" study is a method used to determine the "standard time" it should take to complete a specific task. Time Study: Measuring how long a technician takes... — read more
Is there much point anymore?
Once this was a company employees would be proud of working for but now it’s just a shadow of its former self. We career from one RIF to the next whilst being told by disingenuous leaders that AI will take care of everything. Work from the office... — read more
TT and lake Mary Gone in the wind

Lake Mary WFH
Did everyone in lake Mary get told to wfh? Does this mean what we think it does?
The year of nothing getting done
Budget cuts and no new programs - people afraid to talk about the fact that they are just idle. I’m a SD been here 15 yrs and never seen it this bad
Year of nothing getting done
Budgets cut, no new programs and people out of fear won’t admit they not busy. I’m a SD been here 15yrs this is bad as I’ve seen.
The year of nothing getting done
Budgets cut, no new programs - everyone scared to admit (I’m not working on anything) out of fear. I’m a SD here for 15 years this is as bad as I’ve seen. It would be a welcomed change to be layed off.
Just ask your Manager.
If you are wanting the date that you are going to be laid-off. Really simple.
We are the Tiger Team.
Lower your dignity and vacate your offices. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
So is the next round really going to be 10% across the board?
I've seen it mentioned here, and the same rumor has been going around the office.
Time & Motion
Has anyone heard of Verizon Time and Motion? Invited to attend a meeting and have no idea what it is.
My Verizon wireless service is terrible
Can someone give me some idea or insight to how few years ago my service was pretty good in most areas .Now my service it terrible and spotty all over the place .Some areas I used to have no issue now have no or slow service.I mean it’s all over the... — read more
SpaceX in the wireless spectrum battle.
TMO already partners with SpaceX. Not sure how ATT will respond but I’m certain VZ will once again fail, as they did with the iPhone years ago. Leaders will tell us it’s nothing to worry about and use word salad and elaborate slide decks to... — read more
More value to customers. Where is it?
Dan stated that customers should have experience price increases without added value and that he was going to bring more value to current customers. I have not seen anything valuable added to my plan. Anyone else? Is that is plan for 2028?
Building Closures?
So, was that an actual thing or folks talking out of their 🍑?
Vz $44 and dropping
Great job Vz Board & Dan. Great strategy... Great Execution. Paying Dan $1M a month... do the right thing and resign. Harvard Business Case already written howbto F-K up a once great company with DEI
Iceberg Ahead Captain
I am a VBG tech, we are glorified resellers w a so-called Beas box(glorified modem behind another modem by Comcast’s or another RBOC), and have had customers see we have choked a 350meg Comcast’s open DSL down to 3-5 meg at 3-5 times the cost, and... — read more
Will anyone ever be held accountable for this mess?
Or will they just keep hacking away at the bottom forever, while even the market is sending a clear message that layoffs aren't fixing anything anymore?
Updated layoff Info?
Does anyone have any information on the next layoff. Who will be affected, possible dates?
VZ Consumer - Interim CEO
Still no permanent CEO for Consumer. His title includes “interim”. Another sign that consumer is over and going 100% third party.
Vz$45 and dropping
Can only imagine the BOD/Vz C-Level circlej--kgoing on before Q1 reporting! CFO has to be using AI to put lipstick on this Pig!
Double standard
So VZ does an ad with the Heated Rivalry guy and the CMO talks about his butt(?). Can’t imagine the backlash if the former CMO had Sydney Sweeney in an ad and made references to her assets…. But of course we know things like that only go one...
Average mgmt
Once upon a time an employee In management hogged his or her seat for almost decades. In times like these , where the stock price is not moving and hovering around at a standstill, why is management still hogging their seats with over 3 years ... — read more
Is VBG ok?
I've seen posts over the last few days on a particular VP (won't name names here), and then other posts on TPD and Product....is VBG ok? My impression (arms length, to be fair) has been that VBG had more things to sell and more upside. Am I just... — read more
A post on LinkedIn shows Nokia and Ericsson (VZ equipment suppliers) are riffing lots of people due to lower spending on their products.
The network is being allowed to degrade while sociopath's are filling their pockets. US middle class is being gutted.... Way to go bootlicking middle and upper management!
23 of 28 job openings posted for Network Engineering and Operations on VZ careers are in India
Network maintained from oversees...
Grandpa Dan
When will grandpa Dan be replaced? Will the board pick a European, or Indian to lead lil red?
Do we need TPD?
There is probably 1500 people right there and given we’re not doing new products and maintaining that’s outsourced work. Just sayin …
Add me to the list of people hoping to get cut next round
It's not even just Verizon anymore. I'm done, period. Been here too long. I can barely drag myself into the office these days. I need out. And I'm willing to take the risk in this market. I'll survive a few months, the big financial stuff is behind... — read more

Recognition from a manager
What's going on with mangers suddenly no longer providing any recognition even when you do extra work that's not even yours? My boss sent a "thumbs up" emoji on a Slack message last Thursday, and that's the closest I've gotten to a thank you since... — read more
