It was a sad day Friday at Basking Ridge.

Verizon is a pathetic company to work for....
Verizon is a pathetic company to work for.... almost as bad as Walmart. They made layoffs their bread and butter of their business. That there is a page dedicated to this is a red flag. I know it has its minions who love it and defend it at any cost... — read more

Doomed
Verizon is a failing company. It will be a long slow painful decline. It's amusing to see the dead wood left behind combing through the job board with dreams of getting promoted into a position of a talented performer that took the package. Verizon... — read more
A potential blackout of Disney’s channels including ESPN on New Year’s eve Verizon's Fios subscribers
Did they really need to wait until New Year's eve to try to negotiate this? I understand that the companies that have, or are going to launch their own streaming services are trying to leverage their power towards outside carriers ( the same thing... — read more

Happy Holidays
There was a time when we were taken out to breakfast on Christmas Eve. Then, it became an ordered breakfast in that was delivered to our building. Now, it’s nothiing. Just a “go to work”. Sad to see. Little gestures meant a lot.
The rough ride ahead
I look at my colleagues these days and I see that the atmosphere has improved around the workplace, as people seem to be in a better mood after the whole buyout situation has been put behind us. Don’ get me wrong, It’s been refreshing to see that the... — read more
