You know the company is desperate when they use Sean Menendez and 2 teenage girls to advertise. bwhahahahaha what a joke!

Any position that could be outsourced, will be outsourced. Why do people harbor false hope that all of this will stop at some point? Where is the logic to the claim that they will outsource “a little” and then stop. Don’t see them canceling any... — read more

Was asked by a friend's son if he should apply for a job here. Both of them were shock by everything I had to say - not one positive word about Verizon and a firm push to stay as far away from here as he possibly can. Which had me wondering... — read more

That’s what I heard.....

It’s obvious that we’ve put all of our eggs in one basket, and to be honest, it makes me really worried, on top of my usul, every-day stress from fearing for my job. Does anyone feel the same way? Seems to me like a big bet for a company that has a... — read more 

Didn't get a chance to talk to him yet, but for the life of me I can't figure out why he would want to return to Verizon after everything that has happened - and after knowing full well what kind of work environment we are subjected to on daily... — read more

What has changed except spending 100s of millions dollars, more SVPs and a plan to go to SAP which is already two years behind schedule. Isn’t ROI a finance function?

I know some states are allowing VSP ers to file and collect unemployment benefits. Has anyone in NY applied and successfully received?

Seems to me that all the layoffs, buyouts , outsourcing, and everything that has been done was for nothing. I can’t seem to think of any aspect of the business in which VY got better as a company as a result of this process. Turns out it was all for... — read more 

Verizon LTE INTERNET SERVICE IS DOWN TODAY in Northeast US. Ironic that this issue happens after the last of the VSPers left in June.

It will all end sooner or latter, they will outsource everything you can count on it. So keep on earning and take advantage of the perks like tuition reimbursement. Do as much OT as you can and build up your reserves and get those resumes up to date... — read more 

Why are they closing most of the wireless call cents by year end? I thought we were there “Golden” employees.

Verizon 2.0 is planing to eliminate SrManagers .

I’m a long-timer at Vz, and throughout my career I’ve witnessed many changes and shifts at the company, good or bad, but the last two years were something else to me. I feel like I was teleported to a totally different company, or something. I often... — read more 

Any changes to Verizon Indirect?

Planning has begun for the next round of VSP. Similar timelines as last year. Identical offer. I work in BR and heard it from several Directors. I guess this is the Hans way. Better than RIFs.

Now they are hiring kids off the street with no clue of how the telephone infastructure work...weird its not like they are paying them less either

What kind of a plan with positive results as end goal includes getting rid of nearly everybody with any experience and inside knowledge of how things work and replacing them with cheaper and significantly less skilled people? Can somebody please... — read more

Do you like working for Verizon?

I was a sales rep, I got tire of the VZ BS. Unrealistic expectations, terrible commissions, poor customer service initiatives, constant layoffs, major disconnect from top to front line, and terrible culture. I couldn’t take it anymore, and went... — read more
