If you don't think the end of the road is in sight, or the writing is on the wall, I ask you to look at Project Fi and how it will turn the entire wireless industry on its ear. Go ahead and Google it...tell me you are not scared.

I'm glad I goofed off on every business trip I took, and I traveled a lot for wireless. Extra days, extra meals, I took advantage of every thing
I could. And I'm glad I did. No regrets, and it'd do it again in a heart beat.
20 years in and could use some feedback
I was hit this last phase of the layoff's this month.. It indeed is an emotional roller coaster every day. I understand it is business and not personal, but it still stings. I have been there 20 years, probably used 3 sick days in my whole career, i... — read more
How can "WE" do this?????
Hmmm - How can "We" do this if we've been replaced with robotic h1B's and new hires? I was released this month and was VERY relieved because I'd been under assault by my younger team members for several years. There wasn't anyone else in my area... — read more
We Can Do This
Landline has faced a competitive environment for years, going toe-to-toe (I would say successfully) against the cable companies with our fiber offerings. There had always been good, seasoned management to count on, who came up through the ranks and... — read more
Just the facts, as Joe Friday would say.
The top five executives drew 44 million dollars in compensation last year. Check the link, http://insiders.morningstar.com/trading/executive-compensation.action?t=VZ Verizon has been making one billion in profit per month for the last 18 months... — read more

Worked for Wireless for a long time. Yeah, prolly not as long as you but who is counting? The point being...how long is long enough? I know that I worked long and others worked longer than I - and they should have been given a fair shake - but were... — read more
I've been there... Keep your heads up, and read on...
I was part of the January/February RIF earlier this year that nobody is talking about. I was with the company for 19 years and thought this was the worst thing that could happen to me and my family. I was given 30 days and cried EVERY day until the... — read more
Do you think collections will see lay offs?
Do you think collections will see lay offs? I am in the union, but I am very new. Thank you!
Better to dump MCADAMS!
What a bunch of Ghouls to lay off people right before the holidays. May you rot in hell!
Two Tribes Only
There are only two teams in this game. One is leadership team that has golden parachutes and the other is employees who are treated like garage equipment.
Why VZ leadership is failing to convince shareholders? Do you trust chainsaw bob and salvage mob?
VZ leadership is completely clueless. They are trying to mask their shortsighted blunders by blaming certain assets and properties. The way they are going, next thing they will blame will be a wireless asset or area that is not as good as the other... — read more

I can only imagine what its like now
I worked for this company thru the good (New Jersey bell) the bad (Bell Atlantic) and the ugly (Verizon). New Jersey Bell was really a great place to work, but once divestiture came it started to go to hell, by the time I left 2006 it was a... — read more

The decision makers in upper management and the executive at the top tier are to blame for so many job losses.
When a company has a good product that everyone needs, it should be successful. Verizon was a lot more successful before the new breed of executives took over. Their POOR decision making and strategies along with changing the culture of Verizon to a... — read more
Public Sector VES

It's time to follow our jobs offshore
Americans should call the company's bluff and say that they will follow their job offshore. An American can work in the Philippines or India, and succeed. Instead of exporting jobs, let's export Americans to change the culture in these other... — read more
When do we start selling wireless units and areas that are lagging behind?
Have we started that with tower sale etc?

What is the latest on the sale of California , Texas, and Florida wire line?
Supposedly, there will be 37,000 employees forced to go to frontier as part of the sale. I'm wondering when those people will be notified, and how.
Still employed but with no F to give
I have been with VzW for well over a decade- I did join a company that I was proud of, with a sense of pride and purpose. But these past few weeks, I am struggling to really care. I work for my customers, they STILL mean a lot to me. As for Verizon... — read more

Another hatchet job at Verizon
We lost 62 people under our director Bill Kinter yesterday. This includes ACT and engineers and possibly other groups. Verizon can spend millions on an effing new logo that isn't needed, but they can't spend millions keeping people employed???... — read more
Notify the Press and Government
Although the media, large corporations and our Government is all holding hands - write and try to get the word out! There has to be someone that cares!!!! Do not be afraid of Big Red. They want us to be silent.

Most of the traditional jobs will vanish in the next two decades. I am more concerned about next generations.
Most of the company workers call.center workers might be located on foreign soil. They are not H1b folks who are physically in US. H1b employees are small fraction of the jobs. Offshoring is the biggest threat to the American middle class. Millions... — read more
