Stop expecting “buyouts” or “packages” from retail. You ever see a special package for Best Buy employees? No? The reason is they have no value and can be easily replaced. This is the same thing with you. This might not be what most of you want to... — read more
Is VZ (Wireless/Communications) headquarters in NJ moving to Texas
Is VZ (Wireless/Communications) headquarters in NJ moving to Texas? Closer to Ericsson, Sprint, T-mobile, ATT where all the other vendors/network corps are located?
Why the big secret?
Why can’t we be informed of the company’s future/ direction so we can make better, more informed, decisions?
People here work only to retire!
One thing has become extremely clear. People here at VZ work only to retire. This is like a government organization. Work for donkey years, no motivation to do anything and then just retire, after a comfortable life. No wonder there is no engineering... — read more
How many Verizon employees will actually take the buyout?
List the number!
Post a sentence for Hans.
One sentence per poster. 10 words max. Let's see what we can come up with.
Wireline taking over more and more wireless equipment
Little by little they are taking our transport equipment. Writing's on the wall unfortunately.
Pay increases announced
Was told today SMB will be receiving salary increases!

Retiree Health Care
I qualify for retiree benefits from Verizon if I accept the voluntary severance package. The severance seems exceptionally generous, and friends from across the board have encouraged me to take it. I even asked a friend who works in HR for an IT... — read more
Pull through now a leaderboard metric
Get ready for Hums to be slammed like they’ve never been before!
Nothing going on in retail!
Stop asking the same question over and over again. Nothing is happening and nothing will happen with retail today. It's just a Monday like any other regular Monday.
Anything happening today?
Any news?
Outsourcing
With the outsourcing of IT; when should the remaining call centers expect to be outsourced? Will they be offered buyouts or severance?
This offer is as good as it gets
Unfortunately VZ has already determined the number of employees with enough years to qualify/come close to retirement (12k -20K employees) "I don't remember the number exactly" - if they don't get the number of employees that they have in mind those... — read more
More offers going out today?
What are the chances this is true? We will see more offers today, specifically in retail? Nothing would make me happier, to be honest, but I'm not sure why they would hold back with those offers. It sounds much more likely that nothing will happen... — read more
Personal calculation 52 weeks or more?
For those who will have over a year's pay on your calculation, do you see it showing as you would receive 2 STIs on your payout? On the left side it shows base pay + sti target = total target comp. Then in the middle of the page it says separation... — read more
Severance?
Is anyone taking the bait?
Do you think that hans will sell off the wireline side of vverizon
Will he get rid of the copper and fios to put in 5g in the northeast
Some People Still Aren't Getting It.
Hans was brought to Verizon to slaughter. Ericsson had more employees than Verizon has now. Hans cut them in half. One Ericsson yard in the Dallas area had sixty trucks and techs. After the slaughter five techs were left. Work didn't get done -- Hans... — read more
Why all the cuts? They have to pay for "5G" somehow.
With the rollout of "5G," they need some way to pay for that ish. Here in Sacramento, we're offering free equipment (worth at least 1k), free installation (another couple hundred in labor, as the equipment requires a pro-install), and "up to a 1Gb... — read more
Is verizon doing that bad,that they have to get rid of 10,000 plus employees

Vz not a sinking ship.
Everyone keep saying get out Vz is a sinking ship. Well with these numbers I just can't see how. I know we have allot of debt, but usually sinking ships don't report numbers like this. Just my thoughts and part of the decision to stay for go. If... — read more

Townhall invite for Monday
Some have got invite for town hall on Monday and some did not. What does this mean? New transitions or layoffs?
No layoffs until this whole buyout thing is settled
Do you honestly believe that in the middle of the whole buyouts thing Verizon will out of the blue decide to lay off a bunch of people? How in the world would that make any sense? Will there be more layoffs - of course there will down the line. But... — read more
Anyone notice/consider STI ‘bonus’ issue on buyout
Vz is including STI bonus at 100% in offer sheet for 2018 sti. Yet if worked just another day in 2019 you woukd be eligible for full bonus in 2018 anyway. Let’s say VZ gives 90% bonus. So, the buyout really is only giving 10% over the sti through... — read more
Not interested in accepting the offer
Am I the only one who is not considering taking the buyout offer? It's been more than two decades since I last interviewed for a job and I honestly don't even know where I'd start. I'd prefer to try and stick it out here if possible. Am I really the... — read more
