Even though you're doing more work, more hours, more roles and the load of three others, you don't deserve a raise because Vz is so much more efficient and has better tools than ever before?
He actually said that with a straight face.

I’m going to take a different perspective here. Joe is usually open and transparent in his Q&As, but he certainly didn’t behave like himself in this one. I believe Dan or Sam told him to stop talking and revert to being one of those familiar Verizon “leaders” we’re accustomed to. Perhaps that’s also why the HR person was sitting next to him this time, likely there to monitor his behavior.
"If you're feeling anxiety about your job, talk to your leadership."
.....and what will they do for me?
@OP i found the entire show rather callous.
Is there a replay? Sounds super entertaining.
@be just read the take aways on this thread without the fluffs.
is the video up?
In a way, they just told that next is NW-layoff ? just few hundreds or few thousands, similar to May-7 BR location. and everyone make sure you hire what is needed in Phillies, !ndia so the NW sleeps for sure.
Make it quick before/after Q2, wrap up all before Oct-1 so save more RSU.
Today’s panel did exactly as their GOAL - Be BOLD - emphasis we are going to lay you off no matter what, even though we are the LEADERS who sunk the boat(not a ship anymore). HR is witness, now secured my Millions in bonus for next year as LEADERS.
@ap HR lady came as if this was a Beauty Pa-gent show with that shiny forehead.
I would keep my head down and play the game if you want to stay. Its a tough job market.
Most tools never work like they should who are they kidding. Someone is feeding them a bunch of BS
Ask leadership? What if you don’t even trust leadership at this point? They will lie to your face if they have to.
With Joe's talk about each person adding value, the HR lady should be on a list herself. She didn't add any value with her non-answers to all the HR questions (I don't have an update on this...I don't have an update on that...).
This company is a joke
“ I have been here too long “
Well then Its time to fire yourself out bud
"We're looking at every single policy"
and the answer they keep coming up with is to lay more people off.
I didn't bother watching, as I knew I would just get angry. Same old message every time now. Thank God the World Cup is coming up. Something to watch during the summer and stop me getting bored.
Reading AI answers ??
@aa Now, let's add up the number of engineering degrees.
If we added the 6 folks ages up on stage, we are looking at north of 400 right?
Let that sink in...
"If you're feeling anxiety about your job, talk to your leadership."
You ARE the leadership !@#$%%^
@a1 hence the annual raises that are lower than the rate of inflation.
@a5 as does offshoring.
"Your job is safe..."
"...but we're always looking at that."
What I'm hearing as well is that annual RIFs are what make us a great company. WTF.
Talked to leaders for anxiety, but just work best during work hours. Get used to RIF is the answer. Now official.
Fear is how we operate...
@OP Not to mention that the VPs are doing more so you need to do more.
Appearently they’re still offering competitive salaries 🙄
