Has anyone who was offered infosys job but took ESP instead been approved for CA unemployment?

I'm a old timer maintenance tech, I don't know why VZ doesn't just deny service and turn wireline off. It obviously cost more money to keep it repaired than what's it worth. Maybe it's like a 57 Chevy in Cuba and they have no choice but to keep it... — read more

12/28 and 3/22 VSPers - anyone successfully receive unemployment in the state of CA?

Barely showing up, 30 min coffee breaks every few hours, arriving late and leaving early. These are the people that "exceed" expectations. 'tis life in BR. I want to report this to someone, but I feel like it would just put the target on my back.

It’s obvious that as the company moves more and more towards wireless wireline will become more of a burden to VZ. Honestly I thought they were gonna do something to wireline already. Any indication, what is going to happen to that segment of the... — read more 

This is twice today that negative Vivek threads have been deleted. I wonder who is getting them deleted and why? Maybe we should start a separate thread for each negative Vivek comment and see if they can keep up with getting them deleted.

This is more of a hypothetical question, but I don’t believe the leadership is satisfied with the headcount VZ has right now and I believe they have their opinion on what part of the company can afford to trim the most fat. So, in what part of the... — read more
