Is it better to stay or go?
Getting kinda scared by the figures some folks are quoting on here…if 20 or 30% of Verizon is leaving then what does that mean for those left behind? I think some employees will not be able to cope with that amount of change and a huge shift in... — read more

My middle managers day
My boss spends her entire workday talking. All day, she is “stakeholdering” with people, then comes to us to get all the actual information. After that, she passes that half-baked information to superiors behind our backs, making it look like it’s... — read more

Imagine championing RTO and you still get laid off.

Remote Employees
Confirmed conversation of AD asking remote employees if given the choice, would they relocate or voluntarily leave the business. Sounds like a list is being compiled.
Just RTO, it’s not that hard!
I’m sick and tired of all the RTO complainers on here. If you don’t like it then you should leave. You complain and complain and yet you stay. No one is forcing you to be here. It’s time to buck up and go into the office like everyone else and like... — read more

Going into to an office to work with people not in the same office is d-mb

Can some explain Union layoffs?
Sorry, I don’t belong to a union at Verizon so I don’t understand the protections that it gives you. Are you not able to be laid off without a special package? Or are you able to be laid off but the union will do a strike if or when Verizon does?
Hey V-Teamers, share the questions you asked Perplexity before Sunday dinner
I asked Perplexity how do I explain to my children they are not going to college because I was laid off from Verizon? Thanks for the suggestion Dan!! "Remind your child the situation is not their fault and that you are proud of them, regardless of... — read more
Is EWA Training coming again?
No agreement on Union Contract, New CEO with the mission to cut cost, go lean, blah blah.. Do we need to prepare for EWA?
Word around the office is that the next wave is targeting remote folks first.
Doesn’t matter if your numbers are solid if you’re not in a hub, you’re a line item that’s easier to justify cutting. The company wants “collaboration” and “presence,” which really means they’re shrinking the map and forcing people back into... — read more
