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 

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

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
