No change and same old BS recycled.. I have zero hope from this company or any change. Time to find new job.. These executives are tone deaf
Layoffs March/ April- end of Q1
Yes there will be another round end of Q1. First round was timed perfectly before the end of the year. That being said, to balance the sheets, more cuts had to occur at the beginning of the year for faster turnaround times for revenue increasing... — read more

Verizon Skill Forward (EDX/Udemy)
Anyone using EDX/UDEMY to "skill up"? What courses are you considering or have started already?
HCL destroyed customer service and is destroying the company
Executive management sold us out for cut rate 3rd world labor and our customer service has dropped to embarrassingly bad levels. Management's latest solution to this colossal problem is to track how long we are on hold. The real problem is HCL... — read more
Cobra insurance mistakenly cancelled and very long holds with Verizon Benefits Center
I was rif'd on Dec 19 and Verizon mistakenly cancelled my insurance as of Jan 1. Anyone else have problems with their insurance coverage? They had to submit paper work to reinstate my insurance. I was on hold to get through to Verizon Benefits Center... — read more
Next round
Are we sure it's even happening?
About sick of hearing the word delight
How are we supposed to "delight" the customer while cutting so deep AND using AI more. These are the opposite of things that customers want. Customers want value -good product at competetive pricing. Maybe even as much as that they want ease of use... — read more
Nobody likes Dan?
as of 11am this morning, DOW (of which VZ is a component) is UP 650 points, but VZ slides below 40 again, down 1.51%! Coulda kept the Meatball to get similar "performance" or dust off McAdam for a few months. If DAN can't get the price of the stock... — read more

So again hoping all the managers that were riffed did okay with some severance it’s not a cure all but helps get em thru!!!On the associates union side assuming they want us gone .It does not sound like it will be an across board Eisp offer for... — read more
AI is about survival it’s not about winning
I’m constantly surprised that people just aren’t getting it with AI. This is not a differentiator…everyone is adopting it. Verizon needs to adopt and implement it just to survive and keep competitive. It’s about nothing more than reducing the cost... — read more
B2B COMP CHANGED
B2B after the RIF has gone to sh-t. They made it so it will now push us out and make goals harder to obtain. We now have to retain our customers along with add new clients with semi new metrics. If you have a customer leave we now are punished for... — read more

Reality: Will there be continued confusion, rearrangement of organizations with no benefit, outsourcing, gaslighting, propaganda, customers leaving, post it notes and RIF's? Yes. And now you are up to speed. What you will hear: "We are set up... — read more
Having dealt with our terrible vendors in customer service has made me a pro when dealing with other companies outsourced support.
They lies so much that all you need to do is record them and use it against them. Vendors lie, companies pay! Thank you. Make Them Commit to Specific Statements (Then Preserve Them) 🧾 Goal: Turn vague lies into concrete, provable... — read more
My perspective might be colored by sheer luck
But I’m so glad I got laid off. I landed a great job within days. Don’t get me wrong, it was pure d-mb luck, and I know that’s far from the reality of the job market right now. I honestly wish the same break for everyone. We don’t deserve to live in... — read more
Anyone else realize that, after their layoff
They fu--ing hated their job? I've been reckoning with it like every day since. This was my first position out of college, and I just feel more and more apathetic about everything this company did.

AI Layoffs
Somehow, after being RIF’d, I’ve come to believe that if AI truly represents the future, it may actually bring more fairness and consistency to decision-making. Unlike human systems that can be influenced by favoritism or bias, AI has the potential... — read more
Severence
Has anyone received there severance lump yet
How long until the dust settles?
If ever. I’m not looking forward to my severely crippled team scrambling to cover the roles that are now gone, along with all the overtime and stress that will come with it. Our manager is likely to put even less effort into organizing the workload... — read more
Trying to trust the reset
I'm still not convinced Dan is a bad thing for this place. I think it'll just take some time and pain to get where he needs to be to see the positives. I could be wrong, but I'd rather wait to make my judgement than make it right away and proceed to... — read more
"Declination of Notification Period" Form -- Has Anyone Attempted?

Value
The amount of people patting themselves on the back for Total wireless on LinkedIn is embarrassing and cringe. These fake MVNOs are the downfall of VZ. How about focusing on Verizon brand and not 10 other brands? Value teams are cringe.
Nothing has changed with Dan and nothing will
I’ve watched a steady parade of senior leaders come and go, and after a while it hits you that there aren’t any truly new ideas. It’s the same playbook over and over, just repackaged with fresh buzzwords and a shiny new label. I can’t count how many... — read more
