Yes, they actually say this in the video below. The reason? Visible minorities are less likely to have smartphones or credit cards. With videos this stupid, it’s clear that Verizon blew nearly $10b buying AOL and Yahoo. Seriously, who’s approving... — read more 

Thought for sure that Verizon would have used this tax cut to get rid of the masses and offer an EISP in order to cut the union numbers before the next contract.

and most of us wont make it to ever see this stock payout... Good job Lowell

If you’re going to give someone a bonus thats not payable for TWO YEARS!!! just keep the shares cause you need them more than I do. And 50 measly Verizon shares arent worth suffering for 2 more years... no thanks.

Lowell’s webcast is today. Will he announce a bonus for employees due to tax breaks like other giant companies?

Does anyone understand why google ran this pixel contest. They gave away a sh-- ton of pixels. Is Verizon setting themselves up for a buyout or merger? Seems they are pushing google a ton. Last thing and it's sort of funny. We have to report google... — read more 

Next week we have a training for some new “store experience” that’s only being done in 6 districts company wide and for a 6 month period. Managers won’t say a word of what it’s about, I’ve asked if it’s team commission and they keep saying no, but... — read more

Went through the questions being asked by employees (most likes get answered during the webast). Saw a bunch asking about how the tax reform will be spent (customers, shareholders or employees). What do you think?

It is to late for wireless to unionize. The company beat the workers down 20 years ago. One store won't get the job done. In order for unionization to work you need to be united. A critical mass is necessary, probably at least 50% of the stores. The... — read more
