A lot of speculation regarding the B2B channel in February 2016. What are people hearing about NAMs & VAMs? I read reports of MAMs, & ADs.
Anyone under 40-50 RIFd?
Out of all the people I know, the youngest person asked to leave was 49. Close to retirement, but not close enough.
Retail Layoff and combining with Retail Indirect
I've heard there's another Layoff occurring in the future where Retail employees will either be laid off or combined with Indirect Retail Stores. Anyone heard anything about this?
FIOS
At least now I can cancel my FIOS and not feel guilty. Its way too expensive.
One used to be able to retire from Verizon.
Forget that idea now.
This is a company, for years, treated their employees with respect.
I look at some of the comments posted and some turns my stomach. I was a technician for 7 years, 4 in a training center. I took management after that for 10 years as a local manager. I never had a negative year end review and also received the... — read more
Resource Management/ Workforce Planning Consumer or BGCO teams
Any word on RM or WFPA groups? ... We keep hearing whispers and speculation...
B2B
B2B is rumored to get hit in Feb 2016. Any insight? We have heard AD Title Changes, MAMs demoted or PIPd out and complete re-org including old VES folks becoming B2B directors....not so sure about that?????? Any insight????
Off the payroll 12/31, too short of a notice time

Proud to be Union
They need to rid of mid level and upper management. ..too many chiefs and not enough Indians...per say...it's a slap in the face what's going on in contract negotiations. ..they want to take take take...the greedy bastards... all of them. Every... — read more
Verizon Telematics - No 2nd round of RIF's today...

Good leaders are gone
As a former employee, I find it quite unsettling that what used to be a fun place to work, went from fun to backstabbing at such a breakneck speed
Remember: Lowell took a 16% raise
How much is enough for Lowel? 5M? 10M? 50M? 100M? He mas more money than 100 generations of Lowells can spend - and he's greedy for more - all of this while we are destroying tens of thousands of lives - kicking older workers out just because they... — read more
How much are retirement benefits (health) for an individual?
I've called the benefit center to get an estimate and was advised "they do not know"?? All I want is a ballpark. I was told I need to initiate retirement (although you don't need to go through with it) that's how you'll find out. I only have 73... — read more
No national news press at all, interesting.
Very well put. A job is just a job although you spend the most hours there. Never, ever give all of yourself to your job, you will lose who you are and they can dispense of you without a bat of the eye. You are merely a service, and you are being... — read more
Former IPah ( silver springs mad)
Director , ManAgers , Order Management , hosting service team gone.
Why no press?
Why is there nothing in the media about what is really happening? We were told that we were streamlining operations because the world is changing and we have to focus on the needs of the millenials... but from what I can gather is Verizon is... — read more
Are we still seeing "HB1 Immunity" during these RIFs?
Anyone know of visa holders getting RIF'd yet? Can you post some numbers here? I think we need to be sharing that information so we can have a better idea of just HOW BAD we are getting screwed by Verizon.
Just contacted KGAN (CBS) in Cedar Rapids
They reported on the RIFs in Cedar Rapids that happened back in April, hopefully they will cover this one as well, especially since this is considered a "mass layoff" and has triggered the WARN protections. Verizon may not be doing much to hide their... — read more
Cedar Rapids getting hit
Cedar Rapids, IA getting hit hard today. So many that they are protected by Iowa law that states they have to give 60 day notifications. last date will be Jan 18th
RIFs on both sides today? What are you seeing/hearing out there?
Wireline AND Wireless getting RIF'd today? Good luck to everyone, keep your head up.
Verizon has no future vision. They are so far behind Apple,Google,Facebook and Amazon it is ridiculous.
Verizon just throws darts in the boardroom meeting and wherever it lands that what they go with. It just landed on IPTV so that's what they are going with now. Stay tuned for the next dart throwing meeting.
New Off Payroll Feb?
Waiting for a call. Anyone confirm the off payroll for today's is Feb?
Alpharetta
