I hate going to work now. It is both depressing and infuriating, and it's hard to fake a smile and give a sh*t.

So all the doom and gloom, the sky is falling, commentary can let up for a bit. At least until the next rumor is floated.

Lot of your colleagues say "Ooooohh..i was supposed to be in that list" , "glad at least you were out of this place, Verizon really sucks" , "you will find good job soon" , "you got a great package". and when you aren't around they were talking with... — read more 

The numbers are out. Internet of Things added half a Billion in revenue, will continue to grow. Subscribers grow. Wireline is hosed. I do not see issues here, all things look very promising. Content monetization is kicking in, thats very promising... — read more 

I'm sure that logo change ate into the bottom line, or cost the company jobs. How many other bogus projects like that occurred in Q3?

Just to try and make numbers this quarter?

Why don't you keep laying off the best in the world. Take your lean six sigma armature crap and your pathetic Cybersecurity management and lay them off! You just got hacked by Stoned High-school students and gave up personal information about... — read more

Found this elaborate article on racism in corporations. https://justicefor7.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/verizon-raped-my-familly-press-release/

I'll take "Three things you'll see in a museum" for $200, Alex. Seriously, the sooner Verizon dumps all of it's landline holdings (and employees) the sooner wireless can get back to making money.

Do you think they will discontinue Verizon-sponsored Medicare Plans? If history is our teacher, VZ tends to screw all of us who are retired

Do you guys think that our numbers will be so bad that they will have to announce some kind of major layoff initiative to calm down the financial circles? I mean, if the numbers are bad the stock is going to tank and how do you prevent that? You... — read more 

This is going to be a bloodbath

Just announced in my office: 8000 management rif by Nov. 5 to include wireline and wireless. Company "restructuring" and jobs will look "very different" in the near future. Just transfered all of Cary, NC wholesale to Frontier, who wants to create a... — read more 

What a colossal fail. Seriously, I mean what were they thinking about...

Please keep it civilized.

Verizon wants to be something that will be the next step and level up if compared to wire/wireless. But what is that? Is that a cloud play? Security? Telematics?... Are we going to be a wholesaler? The mother of all backbones? I do not get it, I get... — read more 

Verizon was primarily a wireline company and wireless was a privately held asset and it's revenues were minor until few years ago. The biggest mistake of VZ was buying the stake from vodaphone. Now wireless is no.longer a lucrative business. We have... — read more 

Landlines are going the way of the telegraph, and their management is trying to drag down wireless with it. Don't get me started on their unions. We're in the midst of layoffs, and you goof balls are going on strike. If you landline guys lose your... — read more 

That's all what I had to say. Have a great weekend and I'll see you here on Monday

I so am fed up and disillusioned with everything that's going on here at Verizon and in the industry... When my kids grow up, I will do everything in my power to convince them pursue being a doctor, lawyer, or stay in academia and become a professor... — read more 

Why expose the dirt in your own house, at the end of the day Verizon paid your bills. How soon you forgot your application process when you wanted to work here so bad because VZ was so cool to work at and all the perks the company offered for your... — read more 

Can someone expand on what can be expected in terms of severance if we are cut. I was planning to leave anyway due to a life event, but if I was to be let go with some reasonable severance I may decide to stay a bit longer in order to receive it. I... — read more 

Great opportunities for Sr Network Engineers in a fun, e-commerce environment. Solid pay and benefits with potential relocation. Send resume to Diane@OBOXsolutions.com All inquiries will be kept completely confidential.

I am considering a position in Wireline - can someone shine more light about working at Verizon. What do you like. What do you dislike?

Only two candidates have discussed closing the H1B loopholes, I'd start posting your concerns on their social media sites, EN MASS! Trump and Carson are the only two I've heard discuss closing the H1B loopholes. There are 2,000,000 American IT... — read more 

Layoffs never happen on Mondays and Fridays. Period. There is a number of reasons here (e.g., if you mess up things on Wed you have Thur and Fri to fix it). The cut will take place on Tuesday, what exact Tuesday I do not know

Layoffs will come after Q3 announcements. "Do you want the good news or the bad news?" They need the sequence to be bad news then "good" news so Wall Street can bump share price back up after it takes a hit from the results announcements. It's not... — read more 

Please share this VZ layoffs page, spread the word. Employees will not do it, rightly so, as they are concerned about privacy. We can do it (a mother here) as there cannot be repercussions for us. All, please keep the discussion civil. We had many... — read more 

Any announcements will come between 22 October and 5 November. You'll not see anything here before you see it on your internal corporate site, any accurate information posted here would be grounds for termination. You can rest assured "anonymous"... — read more

Anyone know if they're going to announce today? I know something is happening and everyone is talking about it and speculating but seems like it would be a better use of time and productivity to get it out there sooner rather than later so people can... — read more 

Trump and Carson are the only two I've heard discuss closing the H1B loopholes. There are 2,000,000 American IT workers in the US, you'd think they and theirs would be all over this. 500,000 non US workers currently working in IT, or 25%, IT salaries... — read more 

Of course just the Americans. Those scumbag indian h1b visa holders are fine. Absolutely disgusting. Mark my words, within ten years there won't be one American left at wireless

This board is mostly addressing the issues of wireless which is 100% management employees with no union workers. Following link is a much older board for wireline and unions. http://joeshmucksboard.org/

Is this round of layoffs specifically intended to get rid of many field technicians? They seem to really dislike us (kill the copper) - I would not be surprised if they were to cut field technicians even more

I have a friend that lost his job (14 years) at Verizon to H1B visa people. He was laid off over a year ago. He had never heard of H1B visas until just last week. What you don't know, can hurt you.

I mean seriously, so many promises by both CWA and IBEW, yet nothing was accomplished. The head count keeps dropping, layoffs are just about to start. And where are unions here? Wire is being destroyed one day at the time, executive compensation is... — read more
