Just a quick poll: Do you trust Verizon HR and why.

Who's watching?

If you VOLUNTEER and don't get picked , you can kiss your career aspirations at VZ good bye and you can bet the ranch you WILL be on the next RIF list...

I have to say when they sent me packing in 2017 after 26 years it turned out to be the best thing every. I pulled out ALL of my retirement, don't use any of their services and advise everyone I see to do the same. The idea that sending our jobs out... — read more 

When VZW merged with VZ it was a dark day for those of us working in Wireless. We predicted the sh*t storm that is happening now would happen....

Why call it a Management Offer? It is being offered to people in Bands 5 - 8 many of whom have no one reporting to them.

Many employees have resigned on same day of announcement. Even those who were retained have resigned there job. Definitely senior managers and above have benefits in rebadging employees to Infosys. Why do they do things so hurry. People who think... — read more

Offering people a choice is a great idea. It would be nice if senior management shared projected manning reduction numbers. The magnitude of the projected manning reductions might help people with their decisions.

Talk about running us into the ground. BAM, NYNEX, it was nothing but a death march.

I worked for what is now Verizon from 1972 to 2006. The we were known as New York Telephone, until 1982 when they broke up AT&T and created 7 regional independent companies we rename ourselves NYNEX. In 1984 we were offered the first retirement... — read more 

HR does nothing but make work for everyone else. Typically the stupidest of the stupid go into that “profession”. I particularly like how they b--ch about gender diversity in other departments when they are nearly all women. NOT leading by example.

Who cut off customer service? Is it because of the lay off? It’s funny and what the CEO gets

Has anyone heard if those recently rif'd (not received severance payout yet) will be offered the extended benefits?

Hi all, this is for the discussion related to VDSI to Infosys rebadging. is it good to move to Infosys(considering same compensation) or it is better to leave Verizon and look for any other offer?

Who's gonna be p-ss-d if they accept the offer and then are denied by Verizon after all?

So got the email to check eligibility only to find out not eligible even though have over ten years with the company. Why even send this email to non eligible people? It is just a big FU from the company.

I just got off of a market wide VES and IT conference call and at the end during the questions and answers part someone asked if retail would be getting a package to which the answer was yes but no other details were given.

I can’t think that they’ll accept everyone’s offer to separate. I get the feeling that they offered this to everyone just to “include” them if they’re currently retained but are going to be cut. But they can’t get rid of every EUS person; there are... — read more

Do I have this right?, the company is offering a retirement incentive (to some) but then will outsource whole sections of the company to India? Excuse me but ... Didn't they just get a 17 billion dollar tax savings from the Trump tax cuts?

Anybody else here still hoping the email will arrive? I can't understand why I seem to be the only one who hasn't received it.
