Frontier is all out of money, and no one else is buying. So it looks like we're one big dysfunctional family til we implode.
The sold gte wireline for 10b, and the areas were not urban. Northeast would sell in a jiffy. Can't wait.
You’ll eventually see all merged like the old Bell System. Verizon can’t make any money selling off the co’s and makes no sense renting a building to house wireless while down the street or the next town over you have a wireline co that’s been paid ten times over and has plenty of space for equipment.

Your Union will protect you right? Go picket and demand wireless wires.
Hey rook - this is what I am talking about. Do you ever read the news?

OMG, you really are a rook. Who is talking about the 401k ?
If you lost money in this market, you don't know what you're doing. The only way those Frontier folks got hammered was if they had the majority of their funds in company stock.
One of the basic rules of 401k investing: don't invest heavily in your company, as you are already indebted to them for your job. (also pretty dumb to put the majority of your eggs in one basket)
This is investing 101 type stuff...
Hey junior, go and wipe your nose. I have been around long enough that when there are no wires to the home, its time to leave. There will be no leverage come contract time - makes it more easier to offload wireline to a frontier. And look what happened to our brothers who went to that company. This brother is done and will not take that chance. Sometimes you have to wakeup and smell the coffee rather than settling.
@1uxb, here’s the 4-1-1 (that’s old school talk meaning “information”). There’s this thing, this concept, called diversification, which applies to investments, including 401k’s as well.
Study up on it Youngblood. You sound very ignorant. Try stopping by either a union retirement information session or, if you don’t trust that, an investment seminar.
Try to understand the potential retirement good life that you could be living.
The majority of fat I see these days is parked permanently behind desks, ordering fit people what to do, like Caesar’s of old.
Empires crumble, just sayin’
Peasants do rise up when lazy pigs like the OP start to unjustly complain too much.
Hey OP, did you sleep better last night after writing your “witty” comment?
It’s a pity that you’re so blinded to the sacrifices made by the hardworking women and men who toil endlessly in the harshest of conditions day in and day out, 24/7, to keep wireline AND WIRELESS functionality continuing seamlessly.
It’s easy to b–ch from behind a keyboard in a weather-controlled environment.
Ask the frontier techs about there 401ks - they are devastated.
@1uxb+13g3vquz: Why would your 401 be affected by waiting until the end of the contract? You apparently have no idea what you’re invested in or how things work.
Wireline is the whole biz segment that caters to including businesses, it includes most of the fiber optics backbone network we have across the planet, with all the transport equipment, monitoring, maintenance and operations...I am in Eng. With VZW and really know how things work in this field...so stop the childish BS...there is fat in every segment, the very reason you post somthing like this tells it why we do need to cut fat....unless u are a troll
No way, not waiting for next contract. Leaving before it gets sold. Look at what happened to frontier. 401k's got hammered.
Can’t wait until 2023? LOL. By then VZ will have gotten rid of you and the contract will be extended yet again.
It's hard to lose weight, everyone knows that.
Whats the importance of 2023???
Can’t wait for 2023?
Don’t wish your life away, take a nap, trust me you’ll feel better.
My child, what do you think Verizon has been doing for the past 20 years? The plan has always been to trim in the face of a shrinking wireline business. Your dire call to action is so far behind the times it's laughable. Are you sure you're a Verizon employee?
You are a the prime reason to trim , can't wait until 2023.
Screen time last week was 21 hrs. Nap time was easily 8 hrs. That’s 11 hours of hard labor left. Or it would’ve been if I didn’t call in sick for a day. So that’s 3 hrs of hard labor.
Tell me you work harder. Give me a break. 3 long, brutal, hours. Not in a row, but still... be honest, you did less didn’t you?
