They watched the company being burned to the ground and really didn't care. They watched the arrogance about a superior network permeate almost the entire company, to the detriment of sales. They really could give a sh$$ about the employees. They... — read more

Being one minute late to a meeting is “disrespectful,” apparently. But him slurping coffee into the mic like he’s doing a Folgers ASMR? That’s “leadership excellence,” I guess. He swears email is a letter because, his words, not mine - he’s “old.”... — read more 

Anything other than the ability to blindly cut from one Q to the next?

I’ve accepted that I may never get my old role back — that’s part of how corporate reorganizations work. But what hurts isn’t losing the job. It’s how it happened. I was RIF’d despite strong performance and ongoing contributions, while some... — read more 

It felt good. Really good. I know of three friends doing the same from the layoffs. Total lines are 26 leaving. The bill becomes untenable. Twice the price for the same customer service. Same overseas reps too. DPAs are paid too. No commitment. Just... — read more

Hearing him make jokes at the time when so many have lost their livelihood and the rest of us are still uncertain if we'll have a job in a month or two completely disillusioned me. That shows how much he truly "cares" for employees.

What a “B” rated speech by the new CEO. States so many issues with where Verizon is now as if he wasn’t part of the, DAN YOU WERE ON THE BOARD.

the cuts were too deep and haphazard, with not enough precision or thought given to the reality of the situation. Now the back-peddling and re-hiring will soon begin in order to get things back on track.

Setting up a new computer today and my access to the severance portal and Verizon benefits connection are no longer working. I haven't logged on in a minute so not sure when this issue started. Anyone else have this problem or know who to contact?

"Can you hear me now?" ............ LMFAO!
