Was that the plan?
When a telecommunications company says they can’t manage working from home I guess stockholders wonder, what can they do?

No leaders here just opportunists with personal agendas
@cc over 20 years and still work from home. Maybe I will do a lunch at my house for the other WFH members.
@b5 You can't gut moral at the company when anyone can be fired at any time. There is no moral at VZ.
It should be 5 days and not 3. RTO and actually do some work for once. Too many leeches. This will help cut the dead weight.
Fire everyone who does not want to return to the office five days a week! That will open opportunities to people who actually work for a living.
Agreed!
RTO is gutting morale, but the stock’s pinned between $41–$44 like always.
They’ll try to push it to $48 after September once the cuts are done and the script flips.
Personally? I wouldn’t buy into this — it’s not a company anymore, it’s a yield illusion.
Omg , stop crying about going back to the office already! Every day , waaaa, I have to go to the office. Waaa, i have to go to the office and can’t stay home and post pictures of me doing anything but work at home . Waaaa
Honestly, RTO is ki-ling morale — and leadership knows it. People are burned out, checked out, or walking out. The irony? It doesn’t even matter anymore.
The stock doesn’t move. Not up, not down. It’s pegged.
It stays between $41 and $44 because that’s how it’s engineered now. Between ETFs, options hedging, and institutional yield chasing, the market holds it in place — regardless of what’s actually happening inside the company.
So yeah, RTO might make things worse. Teams are disengaged, experienced people are leaving, productivity is flatlining. But don’t expect the stock to reflect any of that — because it’s not a reflection of performance anymore. It’s just a placeholder for cash flow.
This place isn’t being run like a company.
It’s being managed like a yield product.
And we all know it.
