Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Resigned from Infy and rehired as Vz employees. Since they were only gone 8 months, I'm sure time will be bridged. There was nothing in the deal that prevented rehire. That was only for VSP/ESP package people. However, I'm sure there was a lot of back door and under covers talking to make these rehires happen.

@3ssk: IT work and placement?

If IT, why would you go back as a lowly contractor working for the same type of backward thinking international contracting companies????? The contracting companies are not much better in contrast as the rebadging to Infosys.

Rebadged back to verizon.

Things to remember while your talker manager wants to re badge you back to verizon.

You are getting hired back because your talking manager cannot risk his own position for not having anyone who knows the domain because he knows he is just a talking without any real skill.

Remember to make sure you do not lose your original tenure for vacations and such.

Remember to get a premium on salary and title before you go back.

VZ leaders only respond in desperation. They do not have an ability to foresee anything. Take advantage of their desperation and the good market condition out there to benefit yourself.

There is no reason to work for INFY for 30% less pay when the market is so hot out there.

FYI, if you were rebadged to Infosys the return as an employee is allowed. But the return as an employee, rehired, needs to be empowered by an affluent corporate decision-maker or will not be able to get your foot back in the door??

The posts are confusing. Have Infosys employees been rebadged back to Verizon or are Infosys employees resiging from Infosys and being hired back as a contractor by Verizon?

Exactly . My VP was trying to give shanks and VG real advice and they thought only their type had answers and wisdom and tossed him. He was only one getting real savings.

Run those two out on rail. They embarrassed my people

Interesting topic. Not much being discussed.

2cmb....the whole Infosys / VSP deal was irrational. That is what happens when a company looks at the bottom line and numbers on a paper only. You should never do what they did without considering the business and operational impacts for those decisions. The problem is they have a few execs that are full of themselves they don’t listen to people that actual knew what the lower ranks were doing. They got rid of the management and executives that knew what would have been needed to make cuts without impacting operations and business. They deserve what they get.

VZ has good benefits.

This is interesting news. But it sounds irrational?

They are not hiring you back. You need to play it with a threaten to quit INFY. Once they feel like they are going to lose more from the remaining knowledge bucket they will be forced to offer you back to VZ. They are desperate and you should not work for less at INFY. The outside market is so good. If you do not need VISA sponsorship you can get 30% - 50% more in comp outside.

You have cashed in $30,000 Shankies have blew up on you and job market is great out there. There is no reason to stick around anymore.

why would anyone want their job back there ? even for an extra 100k a year. Not worth it. Life has better things to offer.

I wouldn't say hiring like crazy. There's a handful.

this is accurate.
