Thank you to all those in the know, (still on the inside), who have given what you could here.
Thank you to all those, (on the outside), who have chimed in with your experiences.
Thanks to all for the wisdom, the therapy, the venting, and yes, the laughs as we all collectively process through this.
Let the fires burn hot and the whisky sting on the way down. Rock on !!!
Just remember that your entire livelihood and career is worth about 1/700 or even more of the $74m discretionary executive bonus pool for 2025. This is split by 5 employees.
Your whole family and your dependents and kids futures are just a rounding error for the leadership team. Shoulda been a shareholder, su-ks to su-k 😂 😂 😂

Some people on here have shared some experiences and your reaction is to down vote it. I guess that makes you feel better? Burying your head in the sand?
I am sorry, but Verizon is going to be a horrible company to work for in the near future.
So go ahead and down vote people who post honest remarks if that makes you feel better. It won't change a thing.
Not everyone on this board is a troll.
Been with SAP 15 years. I am a women and experienced harassment my whole life, but the icing on the cake was when I experienced psychological harassment from a newly appointment manager who had no experience in management at SAP.
It was obvious to our team, he was problematic. I told my team we should report him, nobody wanted to report him.
I took matters in my own hands, confided with attorneys and played my strategy and reported him to his manager, and HR. 4 months later he was fired.
That said, I was appalled nobody would do anything including his manager until there were more complaints about him.
I had to escape like an abused woman from my incompetent manager at SAP.
I expected better from SAP.
All this to say, I hope SAP cleans up at ALL levels, because the ship is starting to crack.
Money is great Integrity is better.
For managers out there! Do better.

I BETTER see some positive posts tomorrow!
I’m in VZ Connect but my manager is terrible and doesn’t communicate well. Can anyone tell me if Connect will be impacted?
I posted here about how a TC vape pen was planted on company grounds. I reported discriminatory harassment, which ended up with what I'm certain was retaliation. I criticized this heavily, and believe some former/current C-suite have escalated things. It has been posted on this forum about a 2013 spying scandal. You will find that certain technologies were still being used according to their 2020 financial reports listing Fiserv as a client. These are difficult people that will do whatever they want to make your life hll in NJ.
Why don't they cut the entirety of HR and call it a day? I don't think they ever did anything useful for employees. Nobody would miss them.
This has been the worst week yet shorting me nearly an hour each day. Why can’t these mo--ns get this right?
That's all what a load of BS
If everyone of us is a seller where is the commissions agreement??? Where are our perks and trips to Vegas ?
Glad to see they clearly took the 7,000+ comments seriously. They did not address any of the massive concerns employees voiced, put here, and on Glassdoor. What a joke!
No words
It's going to be tough to right the ship after being so anti-customer for decades now.
I used Verizon cellphone service for a year in the late 1990's for sales position and was so put off by the overall experience I switched at first opportunity back to AT&T. In the mid-2010's I tried Fios and had the same terrible experience. Different LOB, same BS.
Verizon has a bad reputation with customers that will be difficult to shake off with promotions.
What's AG up to in Washington?
Thank you for continuing to share the college experiences of your wealthy, well connected children. It is incredibly relatable content.
What do these people actually create? What do they deliver ? GR10 plus and all I see is blah blah lunch blah blah
Do you all get any perks? We're a core team in Brokerage, responsible for one of Abby's three goals flashing on the TV these days. Yet, no team lunches whatsoever. After our persistent complaints, our scrum master (great guy!) organized a Pizza team lunch, out of his own pocket later we learned!
Meanwhile, other perks such as AWS ReInvent tickets, this and that training camps... the leaders are kept among themselves.
Wondering is it the norm or where I am su-ks?
Overall, being let go may be a blessing in disguise. Citi does not want people who WANT to be here but rather people who NEED to be here. People need a job that goes without saying after all you gotta pay the bills. Citi though, wants people who are really desperate like really lean on the insurance. This way management has more increased leverage against you. They can squeeze in the long hours all the while strongly insinuating to not make a big deal about it after all “you really need this job, so don’t rock the boat. How’s that insurance working for you that you really need.” Its always a tongue in cheek comment that’s uncomfortably laughed at, at the time, but the implication is still there.
There’s a mental formula that’s assessed I believe. The more kids you have, the more dependent you are on insurance, the more bills you have…..the more “they got you right where they want you”. The pressure can really be applied. Usually summed up with berating you in public on team calls so that the others can see and know to step in line or else.
I’ve been in 5 different teams over the years and have cycled through 9 different managers. Two of them were really awesome but they too saw the systemic toxicity and left to go elsewhere. The other 7 managers stuck around where they can thrive and their skills (bully tactics) are appreciated and leverages quite readily.
They’re NOT choosing our uninspiring merchandising & they’re NOT choosing our prohibitively expensive prices. We 👏 aren’t 👏 competitive 👏.
Just once I’d like to see an earnings call that goes “We missed the mark.” Instead of blaming our performance on external factors.
The reality of SOLV financials is gruesome. Revenue just north of 8 billion. Debt north of 5 billion. Bryan is a grossly incompetent and overpaid clown but he was dealt a bad hand thanks to Mike Roman. How 3M saddled a HC spin less than 25 percent of the original company was a master play in financial engineering.
Even after the only smart move Hanson could do in spinning off Filtration, his card deck is full of low cards. No aces of trump left. He's being pressured by a rich guy who may not live out the next four years of the "Solventum Way" given he's already 83.
The poster who wished SOLV had never been spun off is right. As bad as 3M is being run, at least the stock price has doubled under Bill Brown.
If you are still working at SOLV and see things differently, please pass the gummies. The layoffs will accelerate and not just be a Frank Shirley Christmas bonus special. No way can Bryan grow the top line when he's obsessed with cutting costs. The one good chance HCBG ever had of being special died when Bryan listened to the guy on the yacht instead of going all in for growth.
Meanwhile, cousin Eddie is getting the long desired management position he's always wanted, reporting directly to Heather. The two would make a great tag team in the WWF of overpaid and overweight execs.
Q used be be better than this.
i really mean it. Unfortunately no one is going to try to fix. some says 'leave company'. but those are just less than 5 or 10 yrs. and yes CA really need to do something about middle managers than asking all these useless feedback thing.
i see a lot of ppls to have zero loyal to this company but money.
Is it me or does our employee base consist primarily of HR Karens with 80s haircuts and has-beens with inferiority complexes? In the last several months with 5/3rd’s acquisition of Comerica, we’ve been bumped out of the top 20. Desperation is mounting..
one who collect all stats from others and act like he does control everything gets recognition while who do fu--ing hand-on working gets nothing. so CA said we have better culture? are you sure? my question is. my question to CA is.. do you really wan to fix problem or not.

Anyone been around these leaders or has seen the team dynamics and morals? Everyone of leaders must go, they are that bad and toxic. Shrunk the business and unable to maintain margins.
VZ in the house. I got tired of the doom posting in in VZ forum. TMO seems like such a nice company.. haha. NOT. Telco su-ks everywhere i guess.
Same id--ts are just moving around from one place to another and calling it turn around. NO no more turn around. We want the id--ts are OUT. No layoff to them.
Speaking strictly as a customer, Verizon's culture is 100% anti-customer.
Twice a year price increases...declining value for what paid...endless prompts to attempt to reach live help...nasty customer service reps...inflexiblility to address customer issues...hidden fees & charges...terrible website...repeated requests for security passwords...the list goes on & on!
TRUTHFULLY, this is way beyond blaming Verizon leadership. Some heads need to roll at every level to begin to root out a systemic anti-customer corporate wide culture!
Hess had the best lunch cafeteria ever…
Big, big kudos to the chief and all kitchen staff!
One of the amazing things about working at Progress is that every November you get to wonder if you are on the list to be laid off. Yup, an entire company culture built around who gets let go this year right before the holidays. And to make it even better, none of the c suite executives responsible for the company doing so poorly ever get let go. The c suite boys club continues to bring in millions for themselves while investors (stock down almost 50% this year) and everyday employees get the brunt of their non existent management acumen.
It’s disheartening to hear what’s happening with the converse team being left hanging with their fingers crossed and no clue what, who, or when, layoffs will impact. Why do this for so long dragging it out with no communication? Folks in VP and director level seats seem to be the problem and the real contributors are disregarded and silenced. Things aren’t looking good.
And it is real bad. bad coffee machines and no raises
After all this i kind of want to get severance. It would be a nice chunk of money. Plus I can get a job pretty quick and get used to it while getting paid from verizon. I think I want to get severance now. I don't know if I want to stay with verizon long term like I thought I wanted after this. I think the culture is about to be toxic and I mean toxic as in nothing is ever going to be good enough.
I guess when the thought of losing your job is gone, you can go back to being a POS
We started the town hall strong, but things took a turn once the conversation shifted to “culture” and how we plan to integrate it into everything. It was disappointing to hear how culture and sentiment were being framed.
Culture isn’t a buzzword or something you sprinkle on top of initiatives it’s what employees feel when they walk through the doors every day. It’s reflected in how we support people, how decisions are made, and how work actually gets done.
Right now, we don’t have a defined culture strategy or a competitive differentiator, so saying we’re doing “market-based culture” rings hollow. And leaning heavily on AI because it sounds innovative doesn’t address the real issue: we haven’t clarified who we are, what we stand for, or how we create an employee experience people can trust.
AT&T is not culturally where it needs to be. Culture is shaped by systems, leadership behavior, consistent norms, and shared meaning—and right now those elements aren’t aligned or clearly defined.
