Getting conflicting answers. Some got approved then denied is this correct?

Working at Verizon has worsened exponentially in the last decade. Granted, it was never an ideal workplace, but at least it was better than what we have right now. Constant uncertainty, constant stress, frustration over office politics that affect... — read more 

Kudos! Better than anything we have had in awhile. Perhaps Diego should hire their ad agency?

How many people here actually have faith in this leadership? How many actually believe they are working in the company's and not their own best interest (and no, the two are not the same thing?)

Fiber to replace all copper in CO’s by end of 2025. 40 gig internet to be released. No future franchises for TV. 5G mobility to be focus over wasteful 5G home. Big push into smart home via devices and apps. Verizon is finally waking up.

Anyone else excited about 40 gig Fios? Been saying for the longest time, kill the competition with superior everything.

Hearing that upgrades aren’t counting towards multiplier anymore. Only new phones. Restructuring other parts as well.

Maybe it's early to tell but VZ leadership feels satisfied with the last outsourcing deal, at least they seem happy. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it’s only a matter of time before someone from the leadership comes up with the idea to outsource... — read more 

Leaders know we don’t like it, VZ web form shows this, work jam shows it and this page shows the dislike but they don’t care!! How many people have to say we hate it!!
