I think Verizon Orangeburg Mainframe Group was bought out by IBM. I think they were given a 12 month work contract and no Verizon severance. This was abut six months ago. Is there anyone on this site who may be able to confirm or deny this - and, if... — read more

There’s gotta be beans to spill! Positions affected?

Please answer frankly and in a civil way. What would you do? Would you recommend Verizon to your friends? If yes (or no), why?

Pause for a moment and look at the leadership here at Verizon. Is there anyone there that you lookup to, that you want to use as a role model for your kids? Hell NO!!! The executive lineup is responsible for failure after failure with no personal... — read more

Just wondering.

If you end up get hit and have to leave Verizon, stay strong and keep it classy. Walk out with your head held high. We all have good skills - we will be okay. Leave on a good note and ask your manager if you can use them as a reference, it's a small... — read more

With this years rifs, it set big red up for Google to buy them. Announcement coming soon. If you don't believe me ask your manager to see the new work attire. Hopefully I can ride off into the sunset with my wad of cash.

Was just wondering if Verizon usually does layoffs on the same day or if they do it over a few days? I'm rather new here (less than a year) so this is all new to me. I'm just wondering if tomorrow is the only day we need to get through or if they'll... — read more

I hear that Khalid Hossain will be replacing Lowell!!! Let the good times roll!!!

I was just told on the 9th that our entire IoT team was being RIF'd, then reorganized. Don't be naïve about what is going to happen. You don't cut $10B out of costs without cutting headcount.
