I have never been more energized and excited to be a Vteamer than this week with the rollout of AI Unlocked - at scale! Here’s what I know to be true. Our leaders are building a future proof workforce and we can trust them to deliver as they always... — read more
Qlick
What does everyone think about it? It feels like a lot of things are starting to head in that direction.
So no VSP this week?
Okay, turning in my 2 weeks soon then. Peace out y'all, the ships sinking fast and I'm making sure I get a lifeboat. GLTA
Tiger teams
Is anyone here part of Tiger team ? Is it real deal or another paper tiger like “ways of working” / 624 etc etc?
Separate space for Union folks
With due respect, we need to have separate space on layoffs for union members. Most of us can’t relate because we can get laid off any second.. no protection like union employees
Union Rumor
It appears things are going well. No strike after all.
4 day work week

Fool calls my post fake but I don’t care if they get pensio or healthcare I deserve what’s mine been hear since 1999 that make me last millennial though I’m Gen X Gen Z can kiss my dump truck fake posts !!! I don’t vote but should
Directors and ADs are going mad
I’m stuck in a three-layer sandwich—Sr. Director, Director, and AD. Sr. Director seems calm and confident, but the Director and AD are all over the place. Priorities change almost every hour, so the team is constantly scrambling and redoing... — read more
Stay positive
My manager noticed I’ve been down lately (I wonder why) and decided to give me a pep talk about staying positive and how things will get better. Are you fu--ing kidding me? Verizon’s been a mess for years, and things keep getting worse day after day... — read more
Any rumors on the next CEO?
There’s NO Way the board will keep pushing gramps on stage for much longer. Analysts suggest Verizon is shopping execs in Europe. Does anyone keep up with Vodaphone Execs who might make the jump to save a sinking big red?
What's The Rub?
Why is there no structure at Verizon? Someone in Leadership in retail, who hasn't spent 2 weeks in a direct business sales role can move into leadership in the b2b channel. When did they prove their marks, show their grit, make their strides? ... — read more
Vote
This is my first time being in a union. How long until we know if the contract was voted through or not?
March 26th RIF targeting band 6. Management consolidation.
Any info on this? Saw it on the wireless side
I'm hoping to keep a job I don't even like
That's how bad it's become. I've been trying to find something else for months. Read the other day that it's something like 250 people fighting for every open role. The inability to change your situation no matter how hard you try is debilitating. I... — read more
JOMO???
Has our CHRO actually ever worked anywhere, ever? The completely empty vacuous statement…ignores the utter despair of operational teams right now
HR Performance Measures for 2026
Since someone asked and this alone is one of the best KPI to unlock the hidden potential of the entire vteam I thought we should raise it to a topic of its own. Here is the answer: Number of times you like, comment and repost the post-it note. JOMO... — read more
Fireside chat
Will Dan finally deliver on his promise to share his grand plan for the future or will this be another wasted 30 min. listening to him ramble on about nothing?
Are you taking PTO?
I just read an article that said many people are forgoing PTO due to fear of layoffs, and I realized I'm one of them. They really conditioned us like dogs, didn't they?
Case Mgmt
I know case is Sampaths Baby any Sampath is gone.. Is Case very much needed to clean up mess or will there be any layoffs in case, or will Case get axed? Insight will be appreciated..
Why are pre 2012 Union employees getting any match on their 401k?
I don't understand how they are receiving a 83% match per dollar from the company along with their pension. I heard directly from our delegate that the company turned down talks about increasing the match for new hires. We instead get this cps 4k... — read more
RTB?
I wonder what the future is for Retail to Business? Everything is very secretive. Nothing is being shared with the store locations. There are so many postings, would anyone consider this job after the November cuts?
Can anyone confirm if EMEA layoffs have already started?
Frenzy in my office, but nothing's happened here yet.

So what's the buzz out there on VCG layoffs?
Waste of time with All hands
Do not waste employees time if you have nothing new to share! Heard the same ideas again with AI in every sentence in Nancy’s org All Hands. Did not dare to answer most liked questions on the slido.. trying to paint rosy picture when in reality... — read more
The disconnection is unbearable
The newest CHRO’s Post-it wisdom says: When we stop trying to be everywhere, we finally give our leaders the space to be innovative and quick. Speed doesn't come from more eyes on a project; it comes from fewer, more decisive ones. Yet - we are... — read more
Cost vs Location
It’s clear Dan and the board are focused on cost and the location strategy is dead. No point having offices only 30% full and paying 100% cost. Further rifs are going to reduce sites below critical mass. So which ones are in danger?
Stock together catch 2025
Not sure if this is me or a catch of three RSU’s issued 2025 in stocks only , had to sell at market value 1-3 immediately. Please check your RSU’s. The third is a gotcha , please check and sell if you want the cash. For me , two were available for... — read more

Ask your leaders in your next 1-1 measurable criteria for next 30/60/90. Make sure you include your plan. How they can help remove hurdles for you. If they can't commit or are vague....you know already , but want to be passive , its ok. You now... — read more
Speaking of layoffs
Has anyone noticed an increase in Vteamers posting cringe LinkedIn updates about how their kid’s activity reminded them of leadership lessons (bullet point format with emojis)? This seems to be the way to act post layoffs. It conveys alignment... — read more
