Bridging former Verizon time

Hey,

If you worked at Verizon for 15 years in PA, moved to FL, then all the sudden VZ sells off to frontier, but then you quit after a few years on a Friday, start Verizon on a Monday, do you think Verizon will finally bridge the Verizon time again? Was told that since Frontier bought VZ, all VZ seniority ends, should you ever get rehired at VZ. Haven’t been able to bridge the time and have been denied, since in the language of the buyout, you can’t carry your time over, if he rehired. Been back at Verizon for about 7 years now in the same position as service tech, feeling robbed of time.

If you don't request it, you'll never know. You'll have to check the HR site. Try a web search for "bridging policy" and read that. If you think you meet the criteria, then ask for it. You may need to complete/submit a form. All you can do is ask... so get on it!

No time will be bridged

@OP Your situation is complicated and no one here can give you a reliable answer. The best you can hope for is speculation. If you are or were part of a union, ask them. If not, ask multiple people in HR.

I was told that they won't bridge a gap longer than 11 months for non-union employees. Then again the company is rife with favoritism so if a higher up is willing to stick up for you they will bend the rules. There is an entirely different set of rules for those with connections.

in my experience having had several coworkers go through this..... depends who you get

Yep, counters has been resetted.
