Medical question
I have enough saved that I don’t have to go back to work. I can go on my wife’s medical since I’m not Medicaid eligible. At 65 can I and my wife still get supplemental insurance from Verizon at 65? I heard that I can, but if my wife leaves the... — read more

The movie The Company Men
Just saw this movie and it’s about Verizon. The gist of it is a company laying off employees and everyone is on the chopping block, even the ones who don’t expect it. And the ones who get let go get a small severance and struggle to find work.
Just when I thought rifs were over I’m hearing us further up after Frontier merger
Man will there ever be piece .I figured so was safe but heard from above that it’s not done.I hope I survive the next round
Still feeling just as bad as the moment I learned I was laid off
I thought the weekend would help. Nope. I still feel betrayed, I still feel angry, and I still feel scared. How do you get rid of this awful, awful feeling in the pit of your stomach? How long does it take for it to go away? I was never laid off... — read more

VCG VZI Band 6 Last working day JAN4th
11 years with this company. Never thought this would happen. Onto to the next one.
Why are we hiring?
Why isn't there a hiring freeze after (and before) such huge layoffs? I can see hundreds of openings, some added last week. How does that make sense?
With Verizon, even severence is broken
We were supposed to receive an an email later Thursday with details on how to access the severence website, how ro register, etc. Myself and three other co-workers did not receive it. Reached out to leadership and followed thier recomendations, but... — read more
Wishing well on everyone
I was just scrolling on the internet and I saw this site where people can take a poll and comment on the latest layoff, maybe it might help. Thelayoffradar.com
The amount of coping on Linkedin is hilarious
One person called Verizon their dream job. Another few people were 'thanking' Verizon. Another few were claiming that these people 'deserved it'. Stop breaking your backs for this company, man. Have some respect. You don't need to have all of the... — read more
Stupid red chair
Where did the stupid red chair come from anyway? All the LinkedIn profile pics in the red chair just look cringy IMO.
As Jerry says, what a long strange trip it's been.

No strike duty for me.
The East contracts are coming due August 1 and a lot of people can go on strike. The company will turn to us survivors to be scabs. Watch for your training invites coming in January! And if you're like me, you will say "no f in way" to leadership.
Unions
People who are now working for unions, is there any info on how to get one started where there is non-union only? I see the only people that are gone are basically non-union. Is it good? Why would we not start one?
Interviewing is a skill, practice practice practice!

More cuts in Jan
Hearing conversations about more reductions in January. Verizon is a monster.
Aftermath is even worse than all that anticipation
I survived, but I’m completely fizzled out, and I don’t care about the work or whatever comes next. Watching so many people get cut, many of them after years of hard, dedicated work, doesn’t motivate me at all. If anything, it just made painfully... — read more
Thanksgiving / BF Pay
Do you get paid for Thanksgiving and Black Friday if you got laid off. Or you will only get paid for 40 hours this week?
Internal Job postings ( if/ when)
Has anyone heard of when they might post new jobs? How has it been in the past when a layoff happens?
Stop the Outsourcing!
There is a major gap between Verizon’s international leadership and its US subscribers... For VZ to survive we should focus on America and completely stop offshoring to Europe and India. This got us nowhere and it's getting worse - we should focus... — read more
