One could easily use the data from the VSP for a doctoral dissertation in several fields. I really hope VZ lets a University have the data. Admittedly it would be much better even with a small set of interviews.

I know many will say we can’t, but everyone need to review our jobs on Glassdoor! Be honest! Also use it to blast the awful leadership of the ceo!!! If everyone does it would raise some eyebrows.. (even if the few say it won’t)

Rumor has it the 5G work and antennas will be done by the union in the northeast . I say that it is a b---s--- rumor and contractors already doing work . Anyone hearing anything different ?

Anyone know how we will be notified on December 10th? Will it come from HR or our direct supervisor? And will it be early in the day or towards end of day?

On a leave as of current and not sure how to put in my resignation. (Phone/email or both?)

I hate saying this but I actually like the new structure. It took me a month to figure it out but I got it. Sell pullthrough and consistently pitch it. Know your promos and get excited when talking about it with your customers. I have had the highest... — read more 

From everything I've heard almost twice as many people pushed the button as anticipated. I think they expected all of the long tenure button pushers, but I think the low tenure button pushers was a surprise. Does anyone think that HR may look at why... — read more

Verizon employees are in high demand. VZ paid to educate us. Now other industries will reap the profits. It might be petty, but this is one of the things that's making this whole thing so enjoyable for me. Verizon is yet to realize just how much it... — read more 

Was wondering how this move would help the company. Is it a move used to demotivate others and make them move out ?

Any truth to the rumor that managers left may have to manage mixed groups of wireline and wireless techs in each of the buisness and consumer groups in the New Year.And that certain groups will be completely merged

Didn’t push the button. Looked outside and got a job offer - slightly higher pay, bigger responsibility with more work, but much better job security. Why is it I don’t want to leave Verizon? Am I a fool to stay?

For me it was a good/great job but time on after 25 years. Not getting any younger.

Had a meeting today in which I was informed nobody really knows yet who pushed and who didn’t. I’m curious if I should have said I pushed due to the fact that I was also told he doesn’t know if he’ll be part of the decision-making team or if it’ll be... — read more

Am I the only one who is rethinking my decision more and more the closer the December 10 approaches?

I am seeing all over the place, that managers are trying to promote people into management, with an obvious intention to replace those who are leaving. How can we be promoting people when we are being told that we need to reduce headcount and that is... — read more 

Anyone have any idea if someone can move internally to Oath from Verizon?

I pushed the button and I'll get 48 weeks. Do I understand correctly that I'll also have health insurance benefits for the entire 48 weeks? It'll be through COBRA but it will essentially be the similar to what we currently have?

5G everywhere will have much more radiation vs. 4G. Anyone talking about this or concerned how it's going to affect us all? (I say 5G everywhere which includes line-of-sight from 5G cell site to your residence.)

Just trying to confirm the rumor I heard Thursday. 13k took it and 17k was the target.

Don't care what part of the country, or call center you're in. VZ is going 5G and Wireline isn't in that future.

After the buyout dust settles, much of the call center work is landing in the fXO center in Sagainaw MI. It is more expensive than offshore but cheaper than VES/VZB stateside. Some of the techs there are already doing VZB work. The center has... — read more

Talked to my director this morning. Apparently the word is that if you have less than 20 years with the company your not going anywhere.

Senior Project Manager's just for name sake shortlisted irrelevant employees. Spm's keep their slaves. Management is not willing to retain employees who resigned due to Infosys transition. But they are recruiting more employees.

I don’t believe we have right leaders in IT.

No joke, my director called and asked me to stay. Said only a few key people are being asked to rescind their decision to leave. Nothing being offered to keep us. No guarantees being made. Has anyone else been called?
