For the last 10 years I’ve watch TMO gain on, and then pass us. While we’ve focused on the balance sheet and Network superiority, TMO has gone after net adds. The stock price formula is simple: get the gross adds, the stock price will follow. ... — read more 

How on earth do we allow Tmo to take 6million net adds and we can’t even pull off few hundred thousand, how does the board allow such gut less leaders who do not promote a culture of excellence and kick non performing leaders. Absolutely corrupt and... — read more 

Hello, I am former Verizon employee that took the VSP back in 2019. For some reason I received a tax statement for 2020. Has anyone else received this form?

This place or the fact that I'm stuck here until the economy improves. Getting severance and a push out the door would be a godsend for me right about now.

When is the next CWA contract due and will they make provisions for the working from home Associates? Obviously those working from home "WFH" love this arrangement and would like it to stay in place after COVID 19. Will the next union agreement... — read more 

Stop playing the, "who's the most popular, political favorite game" and start promoting the most senior based on time in position. If the ones applying aren't successful, polices would have pushed them out long ago. A tenured person in... — read more 

We need a strong African American female leader to take over for T. Erwin.

Accepting VSP disqualifies you from filling short term disability. Wouldn’t it be better to file STD than accepting the severance? Especially because it’s untaxed and more than severance?

What’s the dillio with the VZ Pulse survey not being anonymous? HR are allowed to view all responses for "research purposes". It also says there are "no consequences if you choose not to respond", but doesn't provide the same safety net if you do... — read more 

Verizon has announced plans to lay off almost 500 workers in Hilliard by this spring. As required under Ohio’s WARN Act, Verizon notified the state this week that it plans to shutter its customer service facilities and downsize other operations at... — read more 

You are not essential. Getting FiOS installed during a snow storm is not essential. Sending your techs out driving around in rear wheel drive vehicles, is not essential.

My guess is 90% of target

Hey all I was laid off in the Northeast on November 11th. The reason for my official dismissal was for DisparAging a agent and using a agent’s dumPster without permission. My actions were caused due the very policies that isolated us all. Along... — read more

Anyone else get laid off and can’t work from home in the state you live?

Just got info that we will have 5 keyholders per location. Why do we need so many? More GMs with multiple locations. More changes coming.

I find it interesting that the wave of layoffs just so happens to take place almost a month before the first distribution of the stock together award that would have granted 29.950 restricted stock units to employees at Verizon. Think of the amount... — read more 

Hans would never lay off anyone. He’s the cool guy in the skinny jeans that talks about how important people are. Don’t be naive. He cares about the big institutional investors and his $22m a year salary. I’m sorry for those let go and wish you all... — read more 

Consolidation on the retail and indirect channels continue. Move to Business - Consumer segmentation versus channels resulting in heavy cuts in the indirect channel internally and would expect continued agent consolidation.

Last day on the books is 2/19/2021

Terribly tragic. We are in the process of cutting 1/2 the GMs (each GM will be over at least 2 stores), and half of the District Managers (each DM will have the same amount of GMs reporting to them, but now covering twice as many stores)... — read more

Has anyone in CA heard news in their district??

My buddy just got told his last day next week, indirect account manager gone too. We are all on edge.

What about today? Will there be more?

District and regional managers getting laid off over here...

Does anybody have a clue what is happening? Leadership has been cancelling meetings and events and not saying why. Some are not even able to be reached and have gone off the grid. Anybody have news on whats happening right now?

Middle managers and call center managers beware your next.

Hello! I need to know how much base increase would be for a lateral move for band 6V?

I asked managers. I was assured not to worry.

I am band 7T Sr analyst, and am eligible for 2020 bonus of (target)10% salary. I worked at Verizon whole year for 2020. If I leave Verizon now (January 2021), am I eligible for 2020 bonus, or do I need to wait till I get the bonus and then... — read more 

Any former VZ folks back to doing contracting work as they were pre Covid ? I was an instructor but have not been told when we will resume our former duties. I last worked in February of 2020.

Verizon is now laying off about 500 ppl. I'm one of them. My entire team was let go. Most of the layoffs are coming out of the California area due to the high cost of doing business there. Those useful California id–t legislators up in Sacramento are... — read more 

There was no home for the holidays. Nothing has changed. No VSP In sight. Be thankful for what you have.

Most of the posts here are pretty innocuous but within one week multiple posts have been removed by the site. The post details for the most part were about the leadership direction at Verizon and the significant offshore outsourcing which leads to... — read more 

Hey Everyone, If my responsibilities change within same team from an individual contributor to people's manager with no change in band, would I get an Increase in pay or would my merit reflect this increase?
