Frontier signed up a record 126,000 fiber subs in Q2 2025, handily beating the prior record of 103,000 added in Q1. Frontier's results, which included fiber builds to 334,000 more locations, arrive as its merger with Verizon inches toward an... — read more 

How is this even fair? Why does HR get to work from home while the rest of us have to schlep into the office everyday? This is total BS.

One small silver lining about the announcement is that it doesn’t start until Sept. So it seems highly unlikely they will be tracking anything in August.

Nike. Just do it.

I am a year out from my layoff and glad to be so settled in something much more stable and fulfilling. A year prior to my layoff, my home based status was changed to hybrid and I was forced to do a 90 mile one way commute. Another team member was... — read more 

Which offices are closing?

Any insight that can be shared on Level up? Especially for a position like Band 7 consultants…may be new job title?

It’s not even about going into office 3 days a week. It’s the forcing people to go in, just to sit in a cubicle taking meetings all day. It’s about spending hours a day in a car, in traffic. Let’s take Boston for example, spending 3+ hours a day... — read more

So, I’m done. Yes, the job market hasn’t been great lately. But I’m fortunate to have a skill set that gives me a competitive edge. There’s no way I’m doing an hours-long commute to the office. If Verizon doesn’t respect or need the skills and... — read more 

It’s not a return — COVID was 5 years ago. That’s longer than most people’s tenure here. Entire careers, promotions, and job changes happened under the hybrid deal. Most folks being told to “come back” have never even set foot in the office they’re... — read more 

Just look at the other companies that brought back RTO. Most of them started with 3 days, but not many stayed there. Plenty have moved to 4, and some are already at 5. Search for RTO on this forum and you’ll see it for yourself. If you’re telling... — read more 

I thought Sampath was going to turn this around. He’s not. Do we need a new leader?

Has Verizon notified the union of the end of wfh? Or are supervisors going to report to empty offices while their direct reports wfh?

Was that the plan? When a telecommunications company says they can’t manage working from home I guess stockholders wonder, what can they do?

Has anyone that accepted the VSP returned as a contractor? Any comments on that?

Come back to the office it’s totally safe they say! Meanwhile some crazy person walked right into an office building and started shooting people on the 33rd floor today in NYC!!!

Make no mistake that this decision is also fueled by desire to reduce headcount. They know many people will have to leave if they cannot make accommodations for the new RTO.

Verizon is focused on wrong things like work location and blah blah Verizon has major issue of too many managers and layers .. only few people are doing actual work. I am a working bee in band 6 and I have 10 layers between me and Hans.. it’s... — read more

Per Sam's message today. What does this mean for Ashburn and Alpharetta? Will they be shut down?
