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

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.

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

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
