Huntsville Call Center
I miss my old Call Center. I miss the people. I miss the food. I remember how proud I was when I was offered HBA in 2018. Now look at how things are. I called in for service on my Mom's account because I wanted to see how the third party centers... — read more

Hans and VZ stock price
What do you want to bet we see a 5-10 percent increase in a week once we announce Han’s replacement? Even if it was Mickey Mouse or Homer Simpson? Hopefully Larry Fink doesn’t eff it up in the long run
New line targets laughable
This “your store needs 7 phone lines a day” cr-p is ridiculous. My store wasn’t even attaining that before Covid and we are slower than ever. If people didn’t have to bring back their trades or their phones didn’t go into sos we wouldn’t even have... — read more
3 & 3 EIPP in last quarter of 2023

C Band going live
All year we’ve been hearing about how things will change once we could turn on the C band spectrum we bought. Looks like that has happened early. Will this place us back ahead of other carriers for network superiority? And if so, how likely is it... — read more

Don’t lose your health
The worst thing that can happen is you start to lose your health. I would prefer not have health insurance and not get sick rather than have insurance through work and always at risk of getting 😷 sick.

Oh, No??
Could Hans' replacement have an unforeseen conflict / issue? Is this the end of Verizon? All eyes on you Hans.. let's hear it.
Seriously
Seriously if you haven't found a new job yet get out there and do it! No amount of money is worth the torture of Verizon. Your going to ruin your life if you stay.

Handwriting on the wall
Vz folks, hang onto your savings. Blue Jeans and managed services are the tip of a melting iceberg. The company is significantly over in opex and this is one early way to improve the financials. Next are RIFs in 3Q and 4Q.
Which VBG teams are moving to HCL?
Which teams are moving? Who runs managed services?
DO NOT GO TO HCLTECH
