The laziest have the best status here. How come?

I worked hard and got nothing in return except stress. Since I started working less, other than having less stress, I seem to be more valued as well. Unbelievable. The lazier a person is, the better he's off at Verizon.

It’s hard to believe this used to be a great company

Someone who hasn’t worked here before, would never believe this company was great. I used to be proud to work here. How they managed to degrade it this much is amazing and it could certainly be a case study. Could it have been any different?

Indirect Omni tickets

With all the Omni issues and critical tickets/promo issues on daily basis they can’t get rid of IAMs for a while. As long as IT continues to do a sh---y job we should be good. Someone in that dept keeps f*ing up the code/algorithms. It’s pretty... — read more

I2B will be eliminated by end of Q1 ‘22, starting with the current “temporary reassignment” to R2B. I advise anyone in role get out as it’s not profitable for the VBG.

Still no replacement
