Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Equal opportunity employer

Does VZ staff its stores the same way as it staffs its back offices in IT ? I mean in terms of being an equal opportunity employer, with hires roughly reflecting the makeup of the regionally available pool of suitable candidates. Just asking, of course.

No such thing as equal opportunity if you're white. Minorities get higher consideration for position. If you're a privileged white male you'll have to work twice as hard to justify your promotion. They generally look at the race of the candidates and compare them to the distribution of race in the hiring organization, if you're white and there are too many "whites" they'll generally pass up the white candidate even if he/she is more qualified. If no person of color applied, HR will typically look for a mintory candidate and suggest that they post for the position. If said person of color turns the position down, then and only then will HR proceed with hiring the white candidate.

The latter scenario I know from personal experience.

Equal opportunity ha ha

What a joke

They don't even pay their wireless workers the same as landline workers .

Example:

wireless retail cust service worker $13/hr

Landline customer service $>25/hr

#wireless treated like garbage

Wireless At will can be fired for any reason and have raises denied for any reason (happened to me)

Landline protected under contract. + guaranteed raises every 6 Months

Not 2 mention wireless can be fired on your anniversary with a small payout .

Landline = ESIP over 50k exit bonus .

Stores are closing. Staffing won't matter any more.
