Returning monitors
Are we returning monitors and docking stations? I asked HR answers and they only itemized laptop and concession device. I specifically asked about desk equipment and they did not reply to that part. Also in the severance agreement it mentions ... — read more
Benefits Connection
Anyone else hate the Benefits Connection toll free IVR? Takes me multiple tries to get past the 3 questions before you can get to the menu. Unless I mute my phone, it doesn’t understand my voice or digits.
Why are we taking more calls than last year yet there’s 10 minutes between calls.
This isn’t AI!! They’re just outsourcing all the calls. Thanks Dan! I’m really happy you decided to employ some contractor.
Cobra
for those who started cobra, how much does it costs

Surprise OPW & New England management consolidation coming up. Get ready for the next round of leadership confusion!
An alternate reality at the circus.
The board has toppled Hans the ringmaster. Without his costume and whip in hand the Tiger gets run of the show. What a welcome turn of events.

End of Year Review - Brought to you by Gemini
I had AI make my end of year summary for me, I briefly looked it over and submitted it, it was a tad fluffy, gracious and full of the big words we all love. I got an “exceeding” rating. I’m baffled. The EOY my AD read me was certainly AI generated... — read more
I don't know how to deal with constant threat of layoffs
I'm searching for another job, and that helps. Somewhat. Because it's also made me realize just how hard finding one will be. The constant talk about offshoring and AI is starting to panic me. I have a family. A mortgage. Bills that keep climbing... — read more

RIP Laptop Return
Got a text from my former manager saying that my laptop has not been returned. My last day was 12/19/2025. I also received an empty box with a paid UPS shipping label that day. I then put my laptop in there and dropped off the package at UPS right... — read more
Vivek
Why is he still around? Shankar and Vivek sat on legacy systems for so so long. I remember a struggle few years ago when I wanted us to move to better new backend system but I was shut down saying they do not have budget. I am pretty sure they... — read more
Mano LinkedIn Post
Mano posted on LinkedIn to announce his exit. What could possibly have been so bad to leave after a year? So many legacy execs have failed miserably and easily remain on the payroll, especially in finance. What happened?
EWC
Last week Verizon held a meeting with employee representatives of the European Works Council Does anyone have any information about what was discussed? So far no details have been released about what happened
Hiring
Is anyone seeing/ hearing of positions being backfilled with contractors yet? I was assuming that will not pick up until the new fiscal year, But have heard of some area's already in motion.
What’s the most ridiculous micromanagement moment you’ve ever had?
My boss micromanages so badly that I’m torn between begging him to let me do my job or laughing when he confidently (and wrongly) corrects things he has no clue about. He slows everything down and still acts like he’s right. Please tell me this isn’t... — read more
VSP
Great source called me and said there's chatter of VSP in March. Anyone else hearing anything? I bet a lot of ppl sign up for this one. I'm in!
Mission accomplished
If the goal was to make us all stop caring, they nailed it. Nobody gives a damn anymore about the company or its problems. The response to everything is just "whatever." And then they'll wonder why nothing gets done.
Stock Together/ Base Pay Increases
Anyone seen BPI yet? Curious to see if Stock together is really gone. No longer shows on open job reqs, VZ benefits external page or in Total rewards. Will there actually be raises this year? Or will they give people nonsense like 1 or 2% and... — read more
Alfonso all hands - wtf?
As a shareholder, I was incensed that we are paying this je-k to waste our time. As an employee, I am just embarrassed to see yet another incompetent buddy of the CEO ramble on with no clue and no actionable plan. He had 45 minutes to inspire... — read more

Feb. 27th
Feb. 27th is the end of the pay period that would allow Verizon time to get the next wave off the books by end of March. How big do you think the RIF will be?
Judging our current direction
I know my success at Verizon or any job was attitude and adaptation. It was also how quickly I could get good at the next challenge and make the changes I needed that would help me win. Sounds easy, but it requires a full buy-in and positive... — read more

Changed the logo. Added yellow. Remodeled stores. Spent millions. Called it “brand transformation.” Signal: same Bills: higher Stores: glowing like a banana. Quarterly outlook: Customers asking about coverage. CMO presenting color palettes.
