I pray only those that weren't working anyway get cut. The ones that are never on any calls, ignore emails, not on slack, you don't even know if they're working or on vacation. Somehow they always get away with it. Whatever that group of people's... — read more

I can’t imagine a laid of AD calling to tell their director reports their fate.

In the words of one former CEO…Lessssss gooooooooo! Ayyyyyeeeeeee.

So hour by hour every publication is using the '15 to 20k layoffs' headlines to get to whatever sl--t they have, and all of the quotes and bullets are the same for all of the articles. And VZ officially has no comment. And this site and Reddit and... — read more 

Companies that offshore jobs should be taxed heavily. It’s essentially “exporting” jobs oversees. Verizon would have to pay a huge bill on that case.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who will end up impacted by Verizon layoffs and start their job search in earnest are in for a terribly unpleasant surprise, even shock! Working at Verizon doesn't automatically qualify you for a great new gig. ... — read more
