Those sore losers are hiring back crzay from infy. If you have cashed in that $30,000 shanky gave you for willing to go to INFY, you can go back to VZ and get your old or even better title. The teams of Shankies have come down to their knees and... — read more

Has anyone noticed the falling gatt rate. Lump is 125k more with this rate vs VSP.

September end, Management will be told and give further directions. Hearing about business 4.0 at the top and the "need" to automate to innovate. All the best guys

I’ve heard VZ is to buy back FT WV at a big discount. Don’t get me wrong....I have no idea why on earth VZ would wantvto do that....it’s just one of the rumors I’ve heard.

Does anyone have any real info not just rumors

This was posted on the Pepsico board by Post ID: @10UacPcH Many of these truths can be found in the outsourcing deal of Vz apps to Infosys. Is outsourcing successful anywhere? I wonder if AT&T, Xerox, etc are all seeing the same things, and if... — read more

Verizon announced late last month that it was disbanding their local news network entirely laying off nearly 200. A move that baffled most as network was formed to compete with cable giant and number 1 competitor Cablevision's News Channel 12 in the... — read more 

I find it a little odd that nobody is reporting layoffs. Can it really be that there aren’t any at this moment?

Who here can remember a year (or even a month) in the past decade Verizon was not having some kind of reorganization? Small reorgs, major reorgs, vertical reshuffling, horizontal reshuffling, merging, divesting...you name it, we've done it. But... — read more 

What’s up with that ? There has to be more to that than just using their news stations . Goodbye fios news and probably goodbye to some other things

The i-got-no pula survey is back for another quarter. Only 5 questions and no open ended ones. Talk about a waste of time and effort.

I heard the company is looking to make a really sweet offer to craft. Also heard from a credible source the union is fighting it tooth and nail because they don't want to lose the dues units. If the Union gets its way like it did a few years ago the... — read more 

How likely is it for another VSP to be offered in 2020? Thoughts?

Well we are six months in the new world of 2.0. For those who stayed, how’s it going? At first, it was a scramble to “figure out” the new roles in April. And then the floodgates opened. I’ve never been busier since the end of April and everyone... — read more 

At my garage there is no work other then the flagging/2nd man division, they seem to be busy all the time chasing car bumpers. What is going on, and how long can this keep up before something gives? Buyout? Layoffs? Any word.

I don't mean that literally. Layoffs will always be a threat. My question is when will the company have the form that the leadership plans it to have, and where there will bee no fear of mass restructuring?

I've been stuck at my position when I should have moved up a while ago because my manager doesn't want to lose me - he even let it slip once (not in so many words, but that was the gist.) I thought about going over his head, but that could easily... — read more

It took me forever to make the decision to start looking for a new job. Kept going back and forth, back and forth on it for a long time. Finally, I took out layoffs out of my considerations. I asked myself, if we still had job security, would I be... — read more

How likely is for something like that to occur in the near future?
