What do you think Verizon is going to do next?
What are your insights for employees future? What do you think their motive was for giving and extra week/two weeks vacation? Do you think they are going to lay off more managers starting next year?
What is the point of the pulse surveys?
The people that answer these surveys lie because we're being monitored, Or don't answer like me. So if it's b—s— answers that they know they're getting then why even send them out. Someone needs a job to do nothing.

Second hand info from the Verizon side blog
the BGCO Hilliard and Alpharetta will be partially home based in 2020 and partial layoffs will be based on performance and warnings. Of course it's going to be denied as the truth and convincing Townhalls to follow. Has anyone heard about this?

Any Market Being Pressurized & Threatened About “SalesForce Leads” ?
There have been big lawsuits already & this company is digging yet another hole for themselves for forcing reps to put Salesforce leads in for literally every single customer they have transactions with. This is not right & needs to be addressed.
