Stimulus Check
Any other VSP’ers screwed out of 2020 Coronavirus stimulus check because of the one-time severance payout? I’m guessing they’ll use 2019 w-2 data.

Why are we still open??
Its obvious Verizon does NOT care about its employees. Our credo is b—s— because it was written by people who dont have to rush to the frontlines of a disaster. They should be the ones who come and work on the front lines. Atleast close all... — read more

Modeling the Greed(o)
We are literally running to a crisis down here in Florida while executives play it safe from home. Select store closures even though we are all equally as vulnerable. Let’s stick it to Verizon the way Wells Fargo did once this is over.

now that my retirement is circling the stock market drain
