I’m guessing the VEC isn’t the answer to everything then. HCL appears to have been a disastrous strategic move, or at least very poorly executed. It just feels like that whole area needs to be completely changed around so it finally puts the customer... — read more

What does the package normally consist of? I’ve heard rumors of 2 weeks per year of service. STI Cobra insurance. I can’t change what’s happening but I can plan.

Things have been going downhill fast since Aimee left — and it’s obvious. The new leadership team, all the way up to the VP level, has completely changed the culture. People are getting singled out, spoken to disrespectfully, and treated like they... — read more

So we’re supposed to sit here for twenty-two days, wondering if we still have jobs. Twenty-two days of stress, rumors, and sleepless nights. It’s unbelievable how inhumane this process is. They could have given us a week’s notice, even a few days... — read more 

New CEO said on the earnings webcast we need to be leaner as a company and reduce in areas that no longer make sense. As I’ve been hearing 20% reduction in employees over the next 2 years

Brace yourselves.

All Tri-State should ask the question about layoff rumors

I see HCL let the majority of people that came over from managed services go now. Post VSP I look back and am glad I took it. Really hope those whom were part of the HCL cuts make out okay in this economy.

Can you imagine having to go through this stress and anxiety for four more weeks?

The only good thing at Verizon.

We can’t possibly have another level up while riffing at the same time…can we?
