Anyone hearing anything about what the future is for call centers, both wireline and wireless, as 2.0 progresses?

I don't think this has been posted here or at least not for a while? One thing to me that really shows how little Verizon now appreciates management employees that have been around for a long time is that they discontinued the gifts/awards they use... — read more

Are VSP folks allowed to apply, or has anyone tried and been approved?

“All retail locations to close. Each rep to be assigned kiosk at area Taco Bell and/or Hardee’s/Carl jrs. Confirmed.”

At least I think that's what it is. A nice chunk of change was direct deposited into my checking account today. It will make a nice bit of padding until the buyout payment comes in.

I left the company two weeks ago. How long until they take the unvested 401k money?

I heard a day after 1st quarter reports come out that this unit will be on the block. They will trim the fat first to find a potential buyer for this garbage.

I'm not sure when this happened but for the past 39 years I have been counting on a grant of several hundred acres somewhere around Oklahoma where I could put down roots and manage my ranch. Now i'm told that's not a guarantee of employment at VZ?!

Is this true? New hires only get 401k? When did this happen? I haven't been with Verizon for a while, but I didn't know things have changed that much...

Nothing has happened at my location for a while now, and that situation has been too quiet, If you ask me. Are the big shifts really over or is something happening in other parts of the company that I’m not familiar with?

Does anyone know how the profit sharing will be paid out to those of us who accepted the VSP and at what % ? IE: check or deposited to 401k ?

I have been deleting names from my same time of my fellow employees that have left. Not a single one of them was dead weight. So much talent exiting. That is what happens when you do what Verizon did. I may be wrong, but this is going to bite them in... — read more 

Has anybody here who has been out long enough to drop off of direct deposit received their check via snail mail yet or spoken to payroll? Please don't answer if you just want to say what you think is going on or figure happened.

When is the last exit day for those who have accepted voluntary buyout? I'm assuming the rest of us are relatively safe from any additional layoffs until then, and after that all bets are off. If I'm not mistaken, it's sometime in June, but I might... — read more
