Basking ridge kool aid drinkers
After 6 to 8 thousand of their coworkers get canned, they get on the company board and write comments like "change energizes me" or " I am so excited by this new commercial".
How Does Someone Get Randomly Selected for an EWA Assignment?
Just curious, is it by luck, age, job title?

Nothing has changed
WBG/VES is still the biggest nightmare going right now. They wanted to change the "culture" of VES by adding new folks and a new name, yet NOTHING has changed if anything its gotten more aggressive and the "Leadership" is vicious, not to mention the... — read more
Middle Ground
Former Verizon CEO Ivan seidenberg was a human being. He started out as a splicer and worked his way up to the top position. Even when he became CEO, he seemed to understand that A) your workers are assets, and a big part of the reason the... — read more
I am under a 2 year contract for FiOS, which is near the completion. I pay about $34 per month for 25/25 symmetric speeds. No other junk
services like video or phone. I live in FL.
Verizon landline IT folks in Frontier areas have no meaningful work and they are always trying to find next project that they can charge their
time to. God knows how long this situation will go on.
When is the big layoff for the landline workers in FL, CA and TX that are not transfered to Frontier? Do they offer relocation to other
landline states? Or do they just layoff the people in the Q2 stating that these are "right to fire" states? I guess landline IT will be eliminated in these states and vendors would play a big role in helping the management with that transition.
Why do so many not see who the real enemy is?
I'm a union field technician. Speaking for myself, I noticed that shortly after Lowell's becoming CEO, everything started to go downhill quite rapidly and most of the current inta-company hatred really began. As a union employee, not only do I want a... — read more
Keith Purce is a loudmouth rumor spreading bullshit artist
He's still gettin his hundred grand while he wants you to go hungry. There hasn't been a new bargaining update from district 1 since the 5th. He like the company has decided that preying on fear is the way to go.

Frankenstein Capitalism

The proof is in the posting
We continue to prove to the Executives they are right with boards like this one. They say we can never be a cohesive respectful team. There is too much divide between union and management and it plays out terribly to our customers. There is no... — read more
I laugh at all the "management" posters saying they can do field work so much better and waiting for a strike.
You guys are a joke. Granted- you can muddle your way though on POTS repairs, but on Fios - you haven't a clue. Saw it on the last strike. 4 guys on a job to do 1 install that was pushed thru the system. Repair jobs were almost painful to watch... — read more
If your 401k goes up 10%, but there is no more middle class in this country, have we won or have we lost?
I smell a lot of company shills on this board trying to pull the divide and conquer routine. Wouldn't be surprised if ALEC is on the case. Maybe the Boston Consulting Group too? The goal is to get the craft and lower management to redirect their... — read more
