Schulman, what is the policy for the enterprise to work-from-home and to promotability when working from any of the Verizon locations?

Am one of those who will leave on 2/20 - and the team us now wanting to get all the knowledge. I know is not my manager/directors fault - but they had no shame telling my role was not needed = eliminated I played nice till now. But 1/1 - dont... — read more

Verizon and the unions to start up talks again after the new year .

That’s pretty much my plan for next year. This round of layoffs was highly motivating.

Schulman should forfeit the entirety of the awarded compensation package and only be based on incentives. And cutoff Hans and Shankar show them both the door because why are these chaps continue to get paid and to receive benefits. Bottom line as... — read more 

That’s Verizon in a nutshell. After everything that happened this year, I don’t know a single person who’s not desperately looking for a new job.

While Verizon has a long history of failed execution from go90, aol, yahoo, hum, finance transformation, VGS, blue jeans, plus play, and even something as simple as RTO - Verizon does succeed at empty catch phrases. Better matters! Change energizes... — read more 

Nothing’s changed. Offshore more work, thin out US teams, stack roles, and squeeze productivity. The direction of the new leadership is obvious - same ol' same ol'.

More than ever, continuously updating skills is critical in today’s environment. Organizations can survive leadership missteps and even recover from strategic errors, but when trust erodes at scale across the workforce, the damage runs much deeper... — read more

I asked HR some detailed questions about how WARN was applied for hybrid employees. They said remote locations didn’t meet the threshold, so they only provided 30 vs 60 days. I didn’t agree with how they explained it, but that was their final... — read more 

I feel relieved. Last night I had a lot of beverages, been years since I could drink as I was the only one on call for over a year. Wife and I laughed a lot. I have a traeger I’ve never used that I’m breaking in today. Thank you Dan. I don’t... — read more 

If leadership does, well, they’ll have to learn the hard way. And we’ll be the ones paying the price.

Does anyone know where submissions of the ideas form actually go? Do they go to your supervisor, AD, Director, VP, SVP, EVP? Straight to dans email (not slack)? Just wondering if anyone’s in the know on this and knows if it will actually be taken... — read more 

Can anyone confirm the 2Q VSP rumor?

After working for this company for over 30 years. I plan to have a lot of FAMILY time during this period. I sacrificed valuable time just like many others and in return what did we get? Dancing Dan, what a joke he is. You'll soon find out.

Frontier Communications and their minions in Rochester New York! Consider yourself warned!

Not sure why everyone is justifying this bullsh-t. What Dan did was diabolical.

We now know that nothing matters, so why do anything?

The fact you can work for a company for over 30 years and not get one thank you or goodbye from leadership or even your peers is very telling and just plain sad. Before any of you trolls starts saying move on and get over it, just remember your day... — read more

Dan foolishly believes A.I. will magically fix everything wrong with Verizon. The only question is how much damage will he do before he leaves?

Today I heard from a source that's been pretty accurate so far that another 8,000 might be shown the door in February. Can it be?

If you deliver for this company they reward you. But a lot of people are just well meaning dead weight, and they should have been axed years ago. Maybe stop crying about your misfortune and and go make your own fortune.

Confused on what the last day is if you are apart of the lay offs. I was told the 20th and now it’s the 31st. Which is it?

We were told today that our rep of 20 years of working at Verizon was let go. What type of bull sh-t is this? I would expect this from SeaWorld but not a company like Verizon.

Or is Office First policy being quietly ignored now…seems so many folks have reasons not to come into the office that the whole policy is not really being enforced

Last day is today, every single person I have spoken to has asked me for something. “Hey where do I get this?” “What happens if I see this error?” “Where is the code for this process?” If you need those questioned to be answered, then you were saved... — read more 

Anyone else experiencing the delays in receiving the equipment return kit? I was told it would not impact the severance if I'm unable to return the equipment until early January. My last day is today.
