Gonna cut to the chase here. This company just denied the last 2 weeks of November for my leave. Curious as to how they think I'm going to be able to put my newborn into daycare when he isn't even old enough yet for his f---ing vaccines. But after... — read more 

Is there a legal requirement that VZ has to allow the window to volunteer to be open for so long? Waiting over 2 months to find out if you were chosen seems a bit excessive.

Censoring things that do not violate your posted rules makes me wonder who operates this website and what your actual agenda is. It was fun while it lasted adios.

Rebadged. Sold. The master has decided to sell me.

I read about the mass layoffs at Verizon and the move of jobs to another country. Unacceptable. I pay a ton for Verizon service and would pay more if needed to keep the jobs here. I know what many of you are thinking.... but I am here in this country... — read more 

I keep hearing large cuts by the end of the year. Large like Network Assurance cut in half. Management and hourly. Would it be better to go, or stay and try to work with the demoralized remaining half. Holy c-ap twice the routine work, twice the... — read more 

For those taking the offer.. how long will you keep your VZ service after the employee discount comes off?

I joined Vz a shade under 2 years ago from one of our major vendors. The elation of working for the no. 1 carrier wore off in about 6 months. Most of the work involves retouching slide decks due to a last-minute request from a skip-level manager... — read more 

Why?

Is no one grateful for what they have? I for one am grateful for the time spent at VZ "albeit short" and the experience i've gained, I am grateful for tuition assistance which allowed me to complete my degree, and several certs. I am grateful for the... — read more 

Where is 2019 pension schedule? 2018 is here https://www.verizon.com/about/sites/default/files/2018-Pension-EFT-schedule.pdf

Lets be clear that these layoffs started before Hans came aboard, the company/shareholders included came up with this master plan to revitalize the company in order to be "more profitable" - because VZ is very profitable. Hans was brought in to... — read more 

I'm wondering, for those of us who are taking the voluntary separation, if we can ask for extra COBRA. Right now the company is volunteering to pay for sixty weeks (14 months) of COBRA, leaving an additional four months up to us to pay for. I'm... — read more 

It's not the companies job to make you marketable, each and everyone of us controls our own destiny and should not expect the company to look out for anyone other than self. VZ offers 8k per calendar year in educational benefits, employees should've... — read more 

If you're like me, you have had Verizon on the brain since the email came. We all have our theories what December 10th is going to look like. 44.000 people. Think about it. That is 30% of the company who have been offered a VSP, all in their quoted... — read more 

When you are outsourcing rebadged verizon employees to Infosys, how can you save money by having extra layer in the middle? The intention is to send them off after a year and to keep their hard/ honestly earned severance package in their accounts... — read more 

The people see this b---s--- half hearted corporate patchworking job for what it really is.

So... How many people think that the wireless business is going to be in a downhill spiral after all of this? Almost everyone I have spoken to about this situation, they have all asked the question, "Do I need to take my business elsewhere?"

If management thinking that change needed for company's future by rebadging to Infosys, they are destroying the roots of the company. The long term employees are roots of the company compared to the management who joined the company recently that is... — read more 

How is this for a contrast: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/13/atts-1-billion-gambit-retraining-nearly-half-its-workforce.html Too bad Verizon didn’t take this approach.

It is speculated that Verizon wireless will be remodeling a bunch of retail corporate locations and sell them to third-party reseller’s. The resellers receive a $250,000 incentive from Verizon corporate if they take over a corporate store. I think... — read more 

Nothing to do with this at all in any manner whatsoever but, I once had a “friend” who had a job where she drove to a building, sat in a room for 7 or so hours, and then drove home. I’m just kidding. That couldn’t be reality, right, while so many... — read more 

...they'll bring back Rock Star? That thing paid benefits in spades :)

They're dropping -- theoretically -- 44,000 employees, but I haven't heard of any products they're dumping. It sounds to me like they imagine 44,000 employees are playing twiddly-winks all day, every day. Or do they just think their customers will... — read more 

Daily Noon calls almost make it clear decisions would be made entirely at High Levels. Mgr/Dir. would have vested interests as they are eligible themselves

It can't be 44,000 IT only employees, right?

Is anyone in there ealy 50's with a lot of years thinking about staying??

Nobody know why,we can only speculate,knowing his history,I say he is Verizon's hatchet man

Any word on the future of EUS Technicians? Will we be outsourced or just have 40 stores each as they reduce headcount?

I was thinking of leaving and work in retail channel. Can anyone ask to leave or does it have to be offered to you?

If I am right in my observation, then the next couple of years at the company are likely to be bleak. More layoffs continued lack of direction or focus and an abundance of low morale workers. If that is correct then the time to leave is now if you... — read more
