#feedback

I know I have been away for a couple weeks due to vacation, CGDO, and illness so I did not attempt to make sense of those weeks. Most recent report is pretty accurate, but still wrong and understating my hours in the office, as always.

Job Architecture is an absolute joke. Thought you should know since it's probably not filtering up from AC or the rest of the ELT.

With all due respect, touch grass.

What a waste already. Still no concrete details because they are still trying to figure it all out.

Appalled by KE outbursts on hybrid work

Interesting how they skipped a mass Pulse announcement and just slipped it into the morning communication. Where is the video? We want to know you heard us!

1. Are you excited about your work? Yes/No
2. Do you feel that you are well compensated for your work?
   Yes/No
3. Do you approve of our leadership?
   Yes/No

Does everyone submit your feedback on your Boss in The Real Deal bot survey ? My boss never reminded me to take this survey anytime ;) Are they scared? Is this for real or another junk

WTF was that? Ridiculous

Let’s just be honest and forget about the P.

That is ok too.

There was a lot of positive feedback to the CEOs blunt and honest call a few weeks ago, even with him flat out saying there would be layoffs and that his plan would be ready in 22 days...which put it right around the 20th.

What happened? Did people lose their minds or did this board suddenly get filled with dummies? I'm seeing a lot of comments from people who dont deserve any severerance.

It su-ks but buckle up and push on.

This year we have push to have employees have other employees put in feedback in my gps and also the ask was to give 2-3 people a request to give feedback about myself. What does this mean? Team was hit with layoffs and already lost 3 people last month.

And remember… survey is NOT anonymous or feedback taken seriously by leadership.

Here’s a suggestion for X, why don’t you send a survey out to all staff when they can reply anonymously (or not if they wish) and tell the SLT what’s REALLY happening out there. No hiding just pure honesty.

Rumors floating around that 24% already said NO on survey to Edmonton. Lot of others (including me) are playing for time and decided to wait until final decision time of Jan'26. Anyone has insights how the MC is reacting to much steeper than expected rate? I suspect they dont care ... perhaps they will bring in more expats from Houston to fill Senior Management roles.

This company is run by mo--ns. I received the Alumni Zone letter in the mail. "A centralized resource for former colleagues".....HELLO?! Im still employed by you!

Ford does not have any future vehicles posted on their website except something most customers cannot afford nor do they want. Holy smoke

We all got pretty Dollar Tree goody bags! And a break from actually working while we sat around and talked or listened. It’s one cup shy of a coffee klatch. I keep waiting for this to be something that has some good take aways. So far, nothing of substance.

Has anyone had performance reviews this year? Any raises?

I was informed last week that my job was impacted by the layoffs and offered a severance package. Another job came up in the company I could apply for. It is a step down but I’d keep my benefits. Not sure if I should take the severance and run or try for the position…. Any feedback?

From those who attended please share your thoughts

Which topics do you are you interested in?

What do you think about the email?

The company culture is built on a foundation of distrust, particularly regarding leadership and feedback mechanisms. Pulse surveys are treated as a joke; the promise of anonymity isn't trusted, and employees see no positive change resulting from constructive criticism.

Follow-up meetings feel like attempts to 'brainwash' employees into believing their voice matters, which is made worse by condescending 'family' and 'Vteam' rhetoric.

The most toxic part is that leaders are reportedly penalized if their teams are too honest, creating a system where compliance is valued over improvement. Leadership's communication is viewed as political and disingenuous, and the company feels like a hollow shell of what it once was.

Anyone else ever receive a request for feedback about their Manager/Director from the VP of the chain of command? I received a request but no one else on my team received one. Wondering if this is a screening for them or for me ahead of the rumored January layoffs?

Whoever wrote it thought they were really doing something.

Did the launch of the Everyday Solutions cards flop? Why are they pushing hard for associates to sign up for exclusive offers but I don’t see anything exclusive about the offers? They all seem pretty basic and not worth it.

L and D is posting on various platforms stating what a huge success the Month of Learning was.
No it wasn’t, it was the same failure it’s always been since the new group of leaders took over.
Everyone I’ve talked to says they didn’t get anything out of it.
They’re trying too hard to convince, I don’t know somebody, maybe even themselves, that they are really performing a good service to the employees.

Anyone else unable to access the My Performance section of the HR portal to enter their year end comments?

I mean, at these point executives have not only become tone deaf but truly cynical. At least we know that these surveys are completely worthless. No matter the results, they will label them as "opportunities".

Have heard of a crash in Pulse participation… anybody seen this?

Spoke to a customer today who has had a support ticket opened for months now... support and our product development have basically told him that they don't have the time to address his issue. Meanwhile the issue is a known problem which is effecting multiple customers. Cant share much more but all I can say is how do you expect to market and sale a product if we cant even support it ourselves?

Does Dan realize that the real problem in verizon is the over paid huge management hierarchy.I mean come on the amount of money and red tape spent on Managers is unbelievable.Every manager has a higher paid manager above them that does even less.That worked in the ma bell monopoly of endless cash not now!!!The only real value in verizon anymore is the only people that actually know or do anything.That group is the associates union and nonunion on wireless & wireline side.All jokes aside most managers are really clueless.Some where hired from pizza delivery places because their daddy was a executive somewhere in verizon.How about we get rid of the timesheet signers who only job is to bother associates over meaningless things instead of focusing on the customer.The people who matter need to start being cherished more and listened to more .Time to squash the Management pyramid of Verizon and focus on moving forward

With this new system, and unattainable goals: how can a goal be set if management doesn’t allow you to meet it? It seems like a very complicated way of saying gotcha!

Tomorrow is the last day for the employee survey. How many have completed it, because nothing ever changed from the past surveys. I’m not sure of the purpose of the survey, so why waste my time. I don’t trust anything here anymore, the company has completely changed as of definitively September/October this year, noticeably the targeting of employees by management and HR for minor things are strange behaviors.

The messages on this site are making their way to HR. Apparently the RTO discussion is making some headway and was brought up on their early Monday morning call.

To HR: push back on this mandate, no one likes it and it has no benefit over 4 days.

So many people cut on this last round and many have been with the company for over 5 years and they are the people who built how we do things today! Rivian sent them all packing! Don't believe all the positive messages you see on LI about those impacted I hear they paid employees extra on their packages if they wrote something positive.

At Verizon, we are always listening to what our customers are saying as we focus on giving them the best experience at incredible value.

People complaining on reddit that during exam session on the MyLearn courses it crashes down. Will AI be supportive to resolve issues?

Did they do away with this?

I have not gotten a single survey this month nor have I received on since June....

What is going on?

Since I’m one of them, can we do an informal poll here and ask people what they appreciate and value most in a manager-employee relationship? What management traits make someone a good manager?
