We have a "celebration breakfast" tomorrow for our work group at our Regional HQ, which was impacted significantly by RIFs during the first round of RIFs and again today. The "celebration" is to "celebrate" hitting a sales target. Not one single... — read more

Besides being a high tech company, isn't Verizon also still considered a public utility? If they are, in my opinion they are not providing the level of service that they should be.

And if just VZ, do you think this is their tactic to morph Into a tech company? I can't even imagine what will come out next week.

It's disgusting, those bastards aren't even trying to hide it. Take a look at the hundreds, HUNDREDS, of new jobs posted to the VZ Career board. Look at the dates the jobs were posted. They are literally LISTING OUR VACATED POSITIONS BEFORE OR... — read more 

Heard that all CORe sups were pulled into a meeting from noon until 8:00 - not typical for this department. Are layoffs expected?

Sorry guys and good luck

Guys, I have been glancing at this forum from time to time and it is amazing how much crap is being posted here. There are many people who are genuinely concerned for their careers. It doesn't help to post random nonsense that benefits no-one. If you... — read more

To all the company patsy's saying a Class Action is fruitless. IT'S A LIE ! Regardless of signing a separation agreement, you have the right to file a complaint with the EEOC. One hour wait time, they hear your basic complaint and then decide if you... — read more 

Retiree Phone Program. When I called the Benefits Center they told me each person can be different due to the legacy company they came from. For me I need 75 points (got them) and I get 25% phone discount, and the "opportunity" to buy my health... — read more

What can they do, lay me off again?

I am in Corporate Finance, no layoffs here, I haven't really heard anything about reorg or anything similar. Same with HQ Network. There are a handful of group moves, but we're looking at building out another support group come Q1 2016. So, nothing... — read more 

Will the BFO (Business Finance Operations) will they be hit by layoffs in Illinois and Georgia? Any news on this lately?

How likely is this?

Like any other severance agreement you sign away all your rights to compensate from future lawsuits and relieve the company from any liabilities.

A few posts down someone posted info about Revenue Assurance in Hilliard Ohio and Bellvue Washington having to possibly relocate to Saint Mary's FL. Anyone hear more on that and its validity? The RA directors are down there now meeting with the... — read more 

If you are still in wireline regional or CMB supporting west region and not moving to Frontier, then you are on the alter. Anyone?

I am very fortunate to be a Millennial. I get special treatment from the marketing folks as if I came from another planet. Somehow they knew that I.am a spoiled brat out there with no common sense and be an easy pry to their marketing tricks. My dad... — read more 

Any details to share?

Anybody else watching this clown show on TV tonight? The answer to every single question is to cut business taxes and cut regulations. Who here thinks Verizon is overtaxed or overregulated? I think we've been played for about 30+ years now and I'm... — read more

Seems like non-Indian employees have become a minority in CMB IT, all the way from the VPs to members of the technical staff. I'm a Caucasian married to an ethnic spouse with two biracial children, so by no means a racist, but this is getting to be... — read more 

What do you guys think about Accenture and work they do for us?

Terremark was a giant waste of money and all the other crap these people with no understanding of Telco Cloud tried to build here http://fortune.com/2015/11/10/verizon-cloud-infrastructure/ . They are partly to blame for thousands of jobs lost.

Sorry, a noob here - I joined in March 2015 - I see that people are talking about Verizon Retirement Plan - what does that mean? Who is eligible and what do you get with the plan?

If you are a Millenial, go work for Chevron - it is paradise! I challenge you to find a better job with a better pay (six digits in a couple of years), having fun networking with peers, flexible schedule (every other Friday off, working from home... — read more

So our leaders are all excited about the changes (yeah right?) but they won't share any org charts until the 16th why?

Anyone know what these organizational meetings and announcements will entail on the 16th? This waiting game is getting old.
