What is happening on June 18?

The standard is if you've been with the company 20 years, you are over the age of 40, and you make more than 60 - consider yourself available to be toast. Exactly what was said here. If you can tick of two (or God forbid three) of these categories... — read more 

Why in the world would this company want a new leader with questionable integrity and low moral standards? I believe he was fired from Ericsson for improper activities involving company funds. It just makes no sense to me.

Has anyone heard anything about the actual sales positions being reduced? I have read some entire stores closing, and management being layed off, but anything about reps?

IT Development is having a 10% RIF. I just volunteered and this is real. Don't know if its due to outsourcing not happening in development or if its in preparation for it. The fun never stops! At least I am getting out with a package. Good luck... — read more

Anyone who participated in a trial have any info on what we should expect?

I feel withall the uncertainty that this company has, with employee morale low, indirect leadership skills - IT support should look into unionizing to hold their own. There apparently was a call eith an IT head stating the lay offs were part of an... — read more

If anyone out there has any insider information? Today IT was hit hard.

Just got word that our 35% discount is being downgraded due to increased selection and cost. It will now be 25%. I'm sorry but in the last 4 years we have less smart accessories by a good 20%. I love how they know morale is down and they continue... — read more 

Is there truly anyone left that enjoys working for this company anymore? The life is literally been s---ed out of me. I use to love it. Not only did I drink the Verizon Kool-aid, I served it up to others. I was proud. Satisfied. Now regardless of the... — read more 

This seems like another culling of the highest earners by Verizon. The highest earners who also usually happen to be the oldest employees who will hopefully one of these days wisen up and sue the company jointly. How many of these do they think they... — read more

I once hated the union because I didn’t understand what the union could do for ME. I drank the company juice and nodded when they said that the union wouldn’t do anything for me. Don’t let anyone fool you and think that they can lower quota and... — read more

So it appears IBM won the outsourcing deal of Verizon IT or most of it. This is how the company screws its employees out of the severance packages and saves money. You go work for IBM for a year and 70% of people get replaced and your years of... — read more

Camp Creek, Lithonia, Lawrenceville, Marietta Layoffs are not over..this is happening in a few days

Just curious if any districts have any "BIG WIGS" coming in tomorrow the 17th.

Guys, there’s no way that they are eliminating the SMB role, firing 1/3 of GMs, firing a ton of SM’s and converting half the stores to indirect. Due to business needs, our stores wouldn’t run for a couple weeks and Verizon would lose money. It makes... — read more 

If you want security in call center work, get to a BGCO center. That’ll entail moving to Maryland, Atlanta, or Salt Lake City, but they will be the last centers standing. Everything else is just quicksand.

I’m currently on vacation, say if the layoff does occur and my store is impacted. How is that normally handled? Do I get a call? Or do they wait until I’m back in store to tell me?
