Does anyone know? Looking for the hourly salary range for PA
Commercials
I think only Verizon employees would find the commercials during the game to be interesting. Everyone else just another commercial to ignore.
VZN rebadge HCLTECH
After 25+ years MCI/Verizon I recently moved to HCL. The whole process has been a disaster. HCL leadership, especially the abrupt HR leader doesn’t communicate, the VZN Global Operations leaders who went across are MIA, lost focus on customers and... — read more
Broke the Internet?
Verizon thinks they broke the Internet with Bey? All I'm seeing on X and Facebook are pi---d off customers saying things like so that's why my bill is going up. How out of touch with customers can they be? What happened to the stories with fire... — read more

Nice company and have investment and ready for IPO soon. Will make at least $5m from investment. Better than all those years at VZW.

LinkedIn Embarrasment
Poor Kyle and Hans... they look like the odd relative that no one wants to talk to in this stupid LinkedIn Ultimate Pre-Game webcast. Seriously, this is like the fat guy at the yoga class. Yeah, he's getting exercise but no one wants him there and is... — read more
Superbowl / Beyonce
According to rumors online, Verizon paid Beyonce $30 million for a 45 second Super Bowl ad... meanwhile we have RIFs every other month and constant budget cuts. Our leadership disgusts me more and more every single day.
3/26 - 4/1 RIF
RIF in the final week of the payouts. Employees will be notified the week before. 2 month period to try to find new position like other RIFs.

401K question
For those retiring , what is your 401K looking like ?
I'm constantly stressed out because of our unhealthy work environment
Working at Verizon is not good for my health. Literally. We should start getting hazard pay for some of the cr-p we have to put up with non-stop.
Hub cafeterias shutting down
Know for sure now that Cary and Temple Terrace cafeterias shutting down at end of February. Another reason you won't see me RTO.
GOOD LUCK
To those celebrating RIF's and Layoffs. It's a lot different once separated from the company. Separated last August.. NO INTERVIEWS! Resume professionally reviewed numerous times. Highly qualified. Too many people are looking. Be very thankful... — read more

Is it just me, or do store quotas seem unattainable?
68% increase from this time last year. We run ourselves into the ground everyday, and it’s not enough. Have to be ranked in the top 10 in bio but can’t meet quota. By looking at the majority of stores phone add percentages, I think it’s safe to say... — read more
Does anyone know the individual modifiers by performance rating 1-5?
The 2023 STI doc says individual modifier can be up to 150%, which I can only assume would be linked to a 5 rating. My question is, is 100% attached to a 3 or a 4? If you know all the data, please share.
Happy RIF Day to all that celebrate! Sigh.
And so it begins. I don’t know how wide sweeping this one is but it sounded big. I was volunteered as tribute. May the odds be ever in your favor. Good luck out there!
Adios B2B
Starting looking for a new job today. 10+ years and this is the worst it's ever been. New comp structure = JOKE, car allowance taken away, MBO, taken away, quotas as high in Q1 as they were in Q4, quotas up nearly 50% over the past 3 yrs. This... — read more

The stage is being set for VBG being sold

Headcount is now....
105,400. 11,700 fewer than last year. That is 10%. See page 3 of the Q4 financial statement. Another 10% this year would drive it down under 95,000.
Kyle not so good
Kyle looking kinda slobby and sloppy at 4Q23 webcast ... needs help dressing and answering questions on VBG write-down. Bottom line, that part of the business is going to be cut loose at some point.
VBG--All we do is WIN, WIN, WIN......
All we do is WIN, WIN, WIN...... 10 straight quarters. Notice when TMO reports, they say they their best result for business, but do not report net numbers. Not that I have seen. Great overall results!!
Angie Klein Demoted?
Was she ousted from President of Value? Seems like she was demoted by now reporting to Frank in her new role. Thoughts?
