"65 is the new 55" as far as being able to retire goes. What's really a shame is that if the billionaire owned media didn't have us working class people at each other's throats over which political team we're on, (divide and conquer) we might have... — read more 

A superior brand of long ago - now dead

AI is just the excuse they hide behind, ridiculous as it may sound.

A whole $5 drop and suddenly it’s DEFCON 1. Brace yourselves, people layoffs incoming. Dan the Man’s $75 “vision” is trending straight to clearance rack status. At this rate, just another 15k layoffs should get us that solid $60 target. Brilliant... — read more 

We’re here to show up, stay aligned, and support Verizon and Frontier priorities, and we will continue doing that while maintaining BAU responsibilities. That said, the current operating model is becoming highly inefficient due to significant... — read more 

What changed over the last month or so? We were at $50! I was optimistic that Dan was turning around our firm post layoff and new strategy. Our net add and cash flow numbers were impressive and further OpEx reductions + stock buy backs + dividends... — read more

RIFs May 7th OR 14th

Lotta hot air and a whole lot of inaction. “Thinking about” volunteering (some people are trying to stay, while you have to ASK to be let go?) does nothing and earns you no points among the rest of us. You say the same sh-t every RIFmas and continue... — read more

Hearing rumors of the tulsa office closing. Does anyone have any information on this???

When do you think the next RIFF notification will happen? April or May?

Flight to saftey over. Vz stock resetting and back to low 40's/30's. Zero strategy execution exposed. Buyback and layoffs only strategy. Without Executive Leadership... BOD only option is merger and tap out with bonuses. Merge with Charter and let... — read more 

Anyone else notified of their all hands meeting getting pushed out?

Heavy work, broken tech, bad managers, tiny raises. Insurance keeps getting worse. Basic tasks take all day. Sales and customers dropping, no vision. It's a mess.

Took some work, but I got there. That also means I'm done trying to prove myself, going above and beyond, or giving this job anything beyond what my paycheck already covers. At this point, it's obvious that performance is the last thing that matters... — read more 

Has this been confirmed?

What does it mean when the Indirect or authorized resellers get the new brand logo on their buildings before the main corporate locations? Asking for a friend

So are we really getting hit hard again or it just another speculation. I wish I could understand how they’re all still looking to cut down when we’re already thin. Most of our areas are the sizes of what two people used to handle. Are we going to a... — read more 

Now the count is 30 jobs, 27 of which have openings in the US (also state could be in 10 locations). Jobs in India down to 3. The openings all must have been posted on the Saturday before Easter, and 21 people hired in India on the same day. Yeah... — read more 

Layoffs ki-led any sense of teamwork. Don't let anyone near your work or they'll take credit. Hide your files. Even managers are doing it.

I have friends and colleagues at verizon and several other companies and organizations. I've heard many, many complaints about D.E.!. hires but I've never heard a single positive thing about them. Never once have I heard someone say they were happy... — read more 

We have internal job postings all the time, but it’s becoming pretty obvious a lot of them already have someone in mind. People go through the entire process and then lose out to someone who seems pre-selected. Why even put it up if you already know... — read more 

What's the consensus? I see people here mentioning the next big round in May. It'd be nice to have even a couple of weeks where worrying about being cut isn't piled on top of everything else.

Heard from a sales manager today Alpharetta is closing

I'm so done with this Company, I'm in a position they won't layoff but am so done with all the new management stupid decisions, It didn't work 20 years ago, didn't work 10 years ago, didn't work 5 years ago, but hey I'm a new guy and I think it will... — read more

Anyone want to take a guess at who will take control after the company is run into the ground?

I am likely planning on resigning from my position sometime soon (partially because it’s become a nightmare and also due to a family issue). Is there any harm in volunteering for the next RIF? I see many dates on here (April, May, June, etc.) I don’t... — read more 

RIF end of May off the books end of June.

Habit? Compulsion? As if employees and clients don't already see the reality. It's not like they're trying to attract talent anyway. At this pace, there soon won't be anything left to replace with offshore workforce or AI.
