Due to the VSP, the network moratorium is going to be extended this year by at least 2 weeks... well into January. There's not enough people left to man the boat, and the engineering guys will be called in to do ops work. Unbelievable but true.

I am getting ready to put my two week notice in after Jan 1st. I have heard tbst your benefits run until the end of the month that you leave. Does anyone know if this is true?

A good day to announce it, I suppose. I really don't know how they're going to turn this around. Do they have a real plan here? Are they going to dump it and flush it away like Terremark and the other also-ran acquisitions? I'd love to know that... — read more

I backed out from VSP. Is it going to be in records for next layoff?

New Severance package will be 90 days notice and 30 day's pay......call me a troll if you want but just watch.....

I spent the last few years allowing VZ to help me finish paying for my BS degree, my CCNP, and my CCIE. Just for giggles I created a Linkedin account and immediately began being poached for jobs...all of which are offering me 2x my c-appy salary at... — read more
