Verizon Ranked # 8 for Career Growth by LinkedIn
There is no doubt it is a great company. Like many other large companies, we go through challenging times. The key is if your current role is not a fit, is there another opportunity internally that is. I have been here 15 years and want to retire... — read more
I'm tired of blatant favoritism
Why is it okay for managers to have their favorites and not even try to hide it? Why is it allowed for the rest of us on our team to do all the work and for one person who did barely anything to get all the credit? I'd go to HR about this, but I know... — read more

You know why they don’t do big employee events anymore?

Enough with April 30
We all know something is happening and it’s about being back the work from India. Woohoo, now get over it.
Minimal work being handed out to techs on April 30th.
My foreman just said they’ll be little work on April 30. He saying we all gotta watch some video. What’s this about?
I got the dreaded April 30th message and it seems promising.
From what I’ve been told it appears they’re getting rid of some contractors. It’s to prep us for the expanded workload. Take this with a grain of salt but it appears likely.
They’re pulling us all into a meeting April 30th.
It’s something to do with fios and we’re supposed to get excited about it. That’s all I’ve got. Can anyone confirm?
When is it going to be enough?
Why are managers allowed to mistreat and abuse their employees? HR is consistently turning a blind eye to their behavior. I know HR is there to protect the company before anything else, but this is becoming ridiculous. There's being a tough manager... — read more
