Dear verizon,
I'm not taking my severance. I'm going to take a different job. I'm about to coast. I'm going to use you, I'm going to get my degree in engineering using your tuition assistance. I'm going to no longer be a top performer. I'm going to do just enough to keep using you. I don't trust you anymore. I'm going to tell people not to get verizon, I'm going to go out of my way to not have people switch. You sc--wed over so many people and you are taking advantage of people's emotions during the holidays. You're about to pay for me to leave and I'm no longer going to be your top performer. Fu-k you.

Verizon paid for my degree in the 2010s and then I took the VSP in 2018. Best decision I’ve made. Get your education! It can’t be taken away from you
@bk more importantly, about "losing" it 🙄
Those early in a career, and have ambitions to move on to anything they are currently doing, and the company has a tuition program, you should take it. Its hard to work and goto school at the same time (I did...no tuition program), but its a way to boost a career or change a career. Much like matching funds in the 401(K), take advantage of it if you can.
Me? I'm 4 years away from retirement. I max my Roth 401(k) every year. I have planned my money, live under my means, but its easier once the kids are gone and you have no debt. Its not easy. Its the opposite of that, but your future self will thank you.
I bet they hit the tuition program. They tried to do it a few years ago. More cost saving is on the horizon.
Verizon paid for my degree.
@bk don’t worry I did after I got done taking your mom after I got done fu--ing her, she took it well
@a2 Break it to your mom easy about loosing the title and needing to get the trophy back
Honestly, you have about half of the equation right. You should get every degree or certification or any other thing you can do under Verizon to increase your skills. The other half will get you RIF'd before you finish any of that.
Take a breath, understand the current environment, and then do your job and use every resource to better yourself. So much of this is outside our control, but improving is 100% in your control.
I love chocolate.
Why announce and f-ck up reimbursement for the rest of us? Move in silence
@aj President's Cabinet and Winners Circle are primarily for sales positions, but area support staff can also be nominated. If you're working from the ivory tower in NJ you wouldn't be invited since you're not in those positions. No need to diminish the sales division of the company.
@a2 Also been to Winner's Circle multiple times and it clearly meant nothing!
@a4 I have been with VZ for 10 years, never once have I heard of Winners Circle.. you are small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. Good luck on the degree.
@a3 dude, you don't know me and you don't know my situation. I am not in my hometown. I got a promotion to a store that got hit with an indirect transition. I already have a new path so it obviously isn't me. You on the other hand sound like an Indian troll that makes the company worse.
@a2 cry harder! you are a needle in a haystack. after january 1st no one will care about you or your supposed accomplishments. let this be a hard lesson to move out of your hometown
@a1 you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. I have been to Winner's Circle the past two years. I was caught up in an area that was rural. You have no idea what happened. Fu-k you. You are a part of the problem.
obviously if you were a top performer you wouldn’t have been let go. let’s be real, you S*cked horse c0ck at your job! Verizon won’t care about you clearly and have no problem moving on. find a new job, enjoy your degree and move on. they have no use for you
