There once was a time when one felt appreciated, with subtle niceties beyond the paycheck. On a Friday, it was not unusual for the boss to say a little early, "Fella's head home. Thanks". Prior to a vacation the boss would throw a 1/2 day your way... — read more 

T-Mobile is best in price and value AT&T is next Verizon is last. And you whine about going back to the office. You should be fired! What value do you bring to the company? To determine which carrier—T-Mobile, AT&T, or... — read more 

How embarrassing. Back in 2022-2024, we called out other companies requiring everyone back in the office. Especially cringeworthy - “AT&T follows Amazon in cracking down on remote work with 5 days in office mandate”. And now look at us.

I'm not here to argue politics and if it is right or wrong, just the consequences of Verizon continuing to outsource a large percentage of its workforce to places like India. Today, the labor secretary alluded to going after companies that... — read more 

Perfect example of the BS — while exec leadership keeps hitting ‘like’ on feel-good fluff about ‘digital wellness,’ the real issues like job cuts, workload, and shrinking teams get ignored. Nice optics, zero substance.

Peons can’t access building 4 anymore…wonder what will 2 Penn will look like

We’re the ragtag leftovers from the last round of layoffs, missing key roles, barely functioning as a team. Some people are fantastic, others are deadweight. Our manager is awful at distributing workload, and clearly doesn’t care. They have no clue... — read more 

Nope, not quitting and not getting fired BUT I ported our wireless numbers out to T-Mobile for compatible pricing and the better network.

Returning to office life just feels like a huge step backward. The noise, the constant interruptions, the long commute just to sit in a chair for eight hours under bad lighting trying not talk to anybody. I get more done at home in less time and... — read more 

Verizon makes most of its revenues from US consumers and US businesses. Yet, it is consistently laying off US employees, while at the same time building up a large workforce in India (Verizon India) where it does very little business. Someone should... — read more

Less than a year to go. Remembering the last strike. Thinking of all the union does for me. 2026 may turn out to be the year of the scab.

Let's consolidate everything we know in this thread. Let's start with this Tue/Wed/Thur mandatory in the office update.

Have you completed your survey? For the first time ever I was completely transparent in my response. No, I don’t believe leadership stresses integrity. No, I don’t believe we’re able to speak without retribution. No, I don’t believe leadership... — read more 

We’re not looking at a company on the verge of innovation. This isn’t a new wave of creativity or progress. It’s the slow, agonizing death of office culture, one cubicle at a time. You don’t push a guy like Peter Gibbons into a life of soul-crushing... — read more

I think we’ve set ourselves up to fail by treating hiring like a short-term cost. Always choosing the cheapest candidate or outsourcing to save a buck ends up costing more in rework and burnout. Not to mention, lowballing usually ends up costing us... — read more

After the many years of quota increases, I am starting to suspect that they are raising them to make people and thin the market. Oh and this jacked commission plan.

The devil isn’t in the details - this is about pushing us out. Plain and simple. The worse the RTO requirements get, the more people either burn out, get fed up, or just can’t comply and leave. That’s the point. It’s not poor RTO management by... — read more
