Too many people have been promoted simply because they won't rock the boat....unfortunately, the boat's needed rocking for quite sometime. Now, too many members of the regional, area and HQ leadership team only worry about ensuring they remain in... — read more

I am one of the Directors laid off
I got my notice yesterday. wireless is going to 6 markets rather than 4 areas consisting of 5 or six regions each. Expectation is about 8000 or so layoffs enterprise wide.
This is What Happened Today (No Layoffs, Yes Reorg)
During a Wireless employee webcast today, Operations leader John Stratton announced a new organization structure designed to position us closer to our customers. The new structure will improve delivery speed and agility and enable the company to... — read more
The Keyword Is Redundancy
Stratton: Further, we are streamlining our Wireless Sales and Marketing Operations, Wireless Network, Finance, Legal, HR, IT and PR functions into single organizations to reduce REDUNDANCY, drive consistency and to improve speed of delivery to the... — read more
Just a bunch of noise, no valid content.
This is why it's all a crock, executives don't publicly announce RIF's until most have taken place, excluding those out on VC or medical leave. They call everyone together to let them know it happened, it's over, and everyone can get back to work... — read more
Retail stores will be unaffected
I would bet my salary that our store would have been closed, but I guess we dodged the bullet for now
VZ laying off around 8,000 people tomorrow October 29th 2015

If you are not on the call - it was said that (next week) the RIF notifications will go out to those affected.
No numbers have been shared with us yet, people in my group are speculating that this may be massive (I mean like tens of thousands of people). Also, the rumors about consolidating regions that showed up on this site a week ago are EXTREMELY... — read more

Comcast to Acquire Verizon
How likely is this?
Are you kidding me? The meeting at 10am pst is about IoT? Who cares! We want to know about the restructure/layoffs! Unbelievable!!
All I can say is, wow! Nobody cares about anything right now except knowing if they have a job or not. Work is not getting done, employees are distracted and to have a short notice, company wide, all employee webcast to talk about anything except... — read more
VZ wireless became a puppet of cable companies when it agreed to open up its infrastructure so it can use their spectrum.

Lowell McAdams Does Not Get Wireline
OK, Lowell cut his teeth on the wireless side, he's worked with with AirTouch & PrimeCo. Our fearless leader now sees unions as completely unnecessary, costly and growth/profit hampering - he thinks they should go and that he can pull it off. Yet, he... — read more
I am a mgmt employee. I now have a greater sympathy for the union workers who fight for their rights.
It will be unethical for any company to treat people like consumables. There should be some difference between toilet paper and employees. You can not let these so called leaders treat employees as livestock and apply demand/supply economics.
Please review how wireless works!
Phone to tower - tower to landline - landline to switch and the in reverse. Cellular technology is not magic. It requires back haul. So consider where debt, cost, revenue and overhead come from. Now consider where and why debt is structured. Don't... — read more
