Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

We're turning into Sprint

The golden years are long gone. To compete with price slashing, we have to almost give away our product. This leaves less to work with. Though cost cutting has been a theme the past 5 years. But this past year has reached Sprint levels. Do more with less people and money but be happy about leadership's questionable decisions. It is scary the similarities of what Sprint went through before being destroyed and what we are seeing today within. A sad coincidence we added yellow to our colors. On top of all that weight from above, customers are getting worse. Not just with us but everywhere. The entitlement norm and lack of compassion or respect of fellow humans is a crazy strain on workers already looking over their shoulder.

@xx+1kqqf7e4m makes an excellent point.

The title of this thread is inaccurate. We are not "turning into sprint", we have become worse than they ever were. Set the foundation!!

The emphasis on cost-cutting above all else paired with the constant threat of layoffs feels exactly like the end at Sprint. The laziness and rudeness and low quality work at Verizon is different, though. I don’t know what it was like for everyone, but on my team at Sprint we stuck together until the end. The terrible environment at bred camaraderie. At Verizon it’s the opposite - every man for himself and we’re all wading through toxic sludge.
