We bought MCI and now selling it. We bought Terremark and now shelling it, we bought UpLynk, EdgeCast, OnCue, and AOL; and we will be shoveling them soon. Oh..another one was the classic scarred RedBox. Don't miss the mother of all blunders - though... — read more

The geniuses up at the top went on a world record 130 billion dollar spending spree (with borrowed money) to buyout Vodaphones interest in VZ wireless. These same geniuses didn't foresee the other wireless carriers starting price wars and cutting... — read more 

I've been at Verizon for 21 years and I do remember a time when employees actually enjoyed coming to work. My position requires me to interact with employees from varies areas and I must say that have never seen the moral as bad as it is now and... — read more

Now that we are consolidating regions, more ad buying will be consolidated, so EP got hammered

Happy holidays everyone. This is a horrible move, horrible layoff - it's done during our holiday season which makes it even worse. Peace out.

want "it" NOW. I don't see them running home to download a file from some fiber optic cable running into their parent's basement.

OK, so here's the deal. One of the offices we keep hearing about here, in terms of HB1 abuse, seems to be Temple Terrace, FL. Keeping in mind that a bunch of employees getting laid off isn't really a headline grabbing story, we have to think about... — read more

The company makes 1.5 BILLION in profits each and every month. They aren't doing layoffs because the need to, they are doing it because workers aren't fighting back. Layoffs are the new normal at VZW. How can they get away with this? Simple, VZ has... — read more 

I thought we had a left wing media? That's what FOX, Hannity and Limbaugh tell us everyday. The reality is that it's a corporate owned media.You people have been played like violins.

I was laid off after 18 years of loyal service to VZW this past March. It's a tough pill to swallow, but stay positive. There's a lot of opportunity for people with our experiences from a company like VZW. Be aggressive and strategic about... — read more

Anyone know if McAdams is getting rif'd? How could he live on the millions he's looted.

All, I was let go 3 years ago after a long run with Vz. My first move was to step away from the crazy and relax. I took a few months off (I was "fortunate" enough to be let go in June) and got all those Vz years out of my system. Then I began to... — read more

24+ years, former GTE, Veteran. I have had a good run. Good memories. Good education. A new chapter begins.

Company shills inundating this thread with BS. "It Will be ok. It's only our livelihoods their giving away". Such BS. We deserve better than to have our jobs given away.

I'm sure there are plenty of people in India who would love to be the CEO for just one million dollars a year, instead of 18 million a year. Then we can "return value to the shareholder", which is the favorite phrase of the executive.

I thought we got past the time when humans were shipped into this country to toil for Owners because it was cheaper than hiring those here already. It may be time for a Civil War?

I know it's hard but I am looking at the bright side. With about 18 years of service with vz I must say that the severance is a decent amount. It will help me do some thinking and assess before I jump into my next job/venture. Today morning I woke... — read more
