The rumor goes something like; V trying to get their workforce somewhere under the 100,000 mark. That would mean 18k-ish jobs. Someone please tell me I'm wrong, and that this is all just a big misunderstanding.

Think about it. Actors who make millions of dollars in salary and do little to no labor have a union to represent them. Is there any wireless employee that still thinks they don’t need a union after… Layoffs, compensation changes, hour changes... — read more 

With the stock price dropping, will this prompt more layoffs. The rest of the market appears to be recovering very concerned about an impact to those of us left

I'm leaving soon because I no longer have any hopes that things could get better here. It's difficult to convey the extent of the damage the current leadership has done to Verizon. I'm not even sure if that damage is repairable anymore. Thoughts?

Is there ever going to be a time when working here is going to be less stressful and less frustrating?

Any one else?

My Plan is the biggest failure ever of Verizon. So called leadership's propaganda and denials of its failure are simply continuations of the lousiest leadership in the wireless service industry. All anybody has to do is simply log on to My Verizon... — read more

Well V Teamers, I think it finally clicked for me today. I have been talking sm--k about vzw on this board, other boards and to friends/family for about a year. Yet I was still going above and beyond while working and actively sending feedback on... — read more 

Does anyone know when we will receive our first $2500 payment for accepting severance? The litterateur doesn't make it very clear and doesn't give a specific date.

This chat room is suppose to be about layoffs. Nothing else, and somehow we have adults who comment on here like teenagers with BS story’s that hold no value. We know vz sucks, we know they’ve been making bad decisions for the past few years. We... — read more 

The quality of service has become a secondary matter to our leadership. Is it just my feeling or are we rapidly losing customers while the leadership is almost completely indifferent to it? I wish someone would convince me that I am wrong.

I think that this company never cared about the opinion of its employees nor their complaints. So why do you think it will ever be different in the future? No, they don't listen to our criticisms at all, but they make good use of the fact that... — read more

Good luck everyone. If this is it, I know things will work out. I've worked at three call centers. I enjoyed my time. I looked forward to it all and never let people on the phone get to me. Even the pot lucks and constant food was great. I remember... — read more
