went to hell, I'd live in New Jersey. I declined. Now there's a job posting in New Jersey. (why they didn't offer it to somebody in NJ is beyond me)
Open invite to "State of the Company" Breakfast in Basking Ridge, Dec.2

What do you do get an interview call from VZ? There are 100 opening on the internal VZ CAREERS website. However no one calls you when you apply
Not even a single.email why you were not considered. If they have already decided who they are going to hire then why are the wasting time.of potential internal applicants? This is a crime allowed by VZ HR.

The DOL also cited the companies for “failing to post a notice in the workplace about their applications to bring in foreign workers using the H-1B visa program, which would allow U.S. workers to learn about and apply for job openings.” From:... — read more
Is Verizon still a public utility?
Besides being a high tech company, isn't Verizon also still considered a public utility? If they are, in my opinion they are not providing the level of service that they should be.
If the company is getting rid of redundancy, are they only ditching VZ employees or also those at AOL, vodaphone, and whatever else they bought?
And if just VZ, do you think this is their tactic to morph Into a tech company? I can't even imagine what will come out next week.
Hey look! Verizon is hiring!
It's disgusting, those bastards aren't even trying to hide it. Take a look at the hundreds, HUNDREDS, of new jobs posted to the VZ Career board. Look at the dates the jobs were posted. They are literally LISTING OUR VACATED POSITIONS BEFORE OR... — read more

File Your EEOC Complaints
To all the company patsy's saying a Class Action is fruitless. IT'S A LIE ! Regardless of signing a separation agreement, you have the right to file a complaint with the EEOC. One hour wait time, they hear your basic complaint and then decide if you... — read more

HQ Layoffs?
I am in Corporate Finance, no layoffs here, I haven't really heard anything about reorg or anything similar. Same with HQ Network. There are a handful of group moves, but we're looking at building out another support group come Q1 2016. So, nothing... — read more

Verizon Strike 2016

Any class action lawsuit for discrimination going to happen?

Anybody else watching this clown show on TV tonight? The answer to every single question is to cut business taxes and cut regulations. Who here thinks Verizon is overtaxed or overregulated? I think we've been played for about 30+ years now and I'm... — read more

Isn't there a law to protect diversity? Doesn't HR give a damn ?
Seems like non-Indian employees have become a minority in CMB IT, all the way from the VPs to members of the technical staff. I'm a Caucasian married to an ethnic spouse with two biracial children, so by no means a racist, but this is getting to be... — read more

Layoffs Occur When Management Doesn't Trust Their Own to Build IT!
Terremark was a giant waste of money and all the other crap these people with no understanding of Telco Cloud tried to build here http://fortune.com/2015/11/10/verizon-cloud-infrastructure/ . They are partly to blame for thousands of jobs lost.
