Title says it all. We’re finally able to get away from the office pervs, racist’s, and sexists. Why go back to that garbage after a year and a half. I don’t want to hear the 20 some odd year rep give me advice on how to deal with 3 baby mamas. I don’t want to be subjected to Covid deniers and anti-vaxxers. I don’t want low class garbage hitting on me while I’m trying to earn a buck. I have the freedom to support myself safely, away from these low life’s, and not have to be in a dirty office. CWA must do the right thing!

Only the Lucky Charms Elf. Oh Tool...
will the irish be forced to return to work and face the covid dangers while everyone else gets to safely stay working from home?
Just received official notice return to the office being pushed forward to September 20th. Welcome back everyone!
@5qvw+1cx9X7XE The recurring theme is sexism and racism. The “baby mama drama” as I understood it, was about how some guy is handling 3 women…I’m assuming in an unprofessional manner. You really should read what’s been said here the past few weeks. As well, try to find someone with screen caps of the deleted post that was here a week or so ago. It was disgusting and shouldn’t be associated with a work environment.
IF this person is being se-----y harassed and experiencing racism they need to report it to HR. Verizon has a zero tolerance policy towards that type of activity. No one should have to put up with that.
Now if the issue is having to put up with listening to “baby mama drama” and having to come to work then go find another another job that better fits your life goals. Im sure your skills and work ethic is in great demand somewhere else. Probably for better pay, benefits and working from home too.
I hear some professional video game players can make a lot of money from the comfort of their own living room. You may wanna give that a shot.
@5sog+1cx9X7XE The union isn’t as stupid as you make them out to be. They can do layoffs to them whether or not they’re in an office. Your point is pointless!
If WFH stays , you go . If you are new you are not covered under the iron clad no layoff clause . Wake up and stop help the company get rid of you . Are you that naive ? Verizon is not going to pay people the pay we get if WFH stays , they will use it as a opportunity to get rid of call centers . Be smart and don't let what you may like cloud your judgement .
Stop begging and get back in the office today ! And just say no to the fake vaccine !
@5jdj+1cx9X7XE Don’t wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.
This was getting juicy until he started showing signs of desperation. I’m wondering if this person is in my office. Seriously bro seek help.
"Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
@5akw+1cx9X7XE This guy is getting defensive. Lol, this argument is just repeating what the smarter guy said, except he sounds desperate…and not the smartest. You should take the persons advice and see a doctor.
@5opg+1cx9X7XE- Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings. Based on your comment, you are clearly projecting how you feel. Make sure you keep that number handy when Verizon tells you your services are no longer needed and they outsourcing your position. Sounds like you will need it.
@5htu+1cx9X7XE Does this guy realize he’s arguing against multiple people?
If your social life was Verizon, I feel sorry for you! Everyone I’ve talked to has better connections with friends, family, and coworkers. I truly feel sorry for you if your social life consisted of only going in the office. The rest of us have families, friends, and community’s with which working from home has helped us connect better with. You are the one who isn’t getting out and seeing the real world, from what I can tell. I suggest you go for a walk, or if it’s something serious, reach out to a doctor. From your rants, it seems you could be committing harm to yourself or loved ones. I’ll post a helpline down below for you. Truly, there is something wrong with you and you should seek help.

Wawawa so stay locked up in your cave forever I'm sure you'll be happy with what ever the company or government will hand you as for myself I want to live my life see people and interact with society if you can't take the heat there's the door if the office was such a bad place why didn't you resign and elevate your to a better position I'll tell you why cause your lazy and lack the ability to make more of your life well when Verizon comes for your job don't cry for the union there won't be one and there won't be a co worker to turn to either because isolation is exactly how to divide a union will you go out on strike for someone you have never seen or can you count on someone to strike when you can't see them think about that
@4ulu+1cx9X7XE Ad hominem, google it.
At this point, you’re only making a fool of yourself. More than 90% wants it; managers, associates, union, and company. You’re just so laser focused on yourself and ignoring the claims of racism, se-ual harassment, disgusting gossip, and the dirtiness of the office. You keep pretending the union is incompetent and wouldn’t be able to negotiate WFH! We don’t agree with you! You can call names, which only proves the harassment part of things, all you want! I’ll be screen capping this to save when asked why I don’t want to see people like you in an office.
I suggest no one feed this troll anymore! H/She sounds like one of those people these forums and other have been describing.
Do you know what actually saves the company money paying somebody $15 an hour without benefits without a pension and without Union protection When you work from home you are literally putting them on a fast pace to to Usher you out the door They can set up an entire Call center in the Philippines for the price of Your yearly salary Which by the way Is way more than your worth
Going back to an office will ruin my life!
@4kxq+1cx9X7XE I’m pretty sure this is one of the perverts! Could be the one with 3 baby mommas!
@4kxq+1cx9X7XE This is what happens when you lose an argument, you attack the person ranger than the subject itself. A scared animal backed into a corner lashes out when they’re about to die. Same logic here! For the people that actually care, lookup ad hominem.
@4vly+1cx9X7XE Where is this “less responsibility” that you’re talking about? It’s clear that you’re a troll with an agenda! Work from home saves the company money! So much, the company is literally bending over backwards because of bore good it is. Work from home saves jobs!!
100% true story the less responsibility you have the easier it is to replace you if you can't see that then you are blind this will destroy unity
It's clear by some of these responses ; you can't fix stupid. You were warned and if you don't see what is happening then you get what you deserve. Anyone with half a brain knows once you are working from home Verizon has you right where they want you. Why the he-l would they want to pay 1 person to wfm for $20 plus an hour when they can transfer you job overseas and hire 5 or more people for what they pay 1? Sh-t for brains, wake up!
I haven't heared from the union about WFH ...I think it's all just rumors
Just an FYI, we are negotiating for Work From Home. All things are being considered; hiring, contract extension, and stipends for home offices. Unofficially, WFH is a done deal, now it’s all about the minute details. Please continue reaching out if you have any questions.
@3ggv+1cx9X7XE This clown right here doesn’t realize they made all those temp construction guy permanent in downstate New York. They also don’t realize they hired techs and cssc in mid-state. As well, they hired techs in western New York. Don’t forget mid-Atlantic, they’ve been hiring a lot as well.
This is the same guy going on and on! Look at the way he presents himself, it’s like a 4th grader. I also love the fact they ignore the se-ual harassment and racist stuff. This person needs to cut the anti-union cr-p and get a life.
WFH is done , the union is just saying that i know a president of the union . WFH is bad anyway they will never hire or replace anyone . There has not been one inside union position in almost 2 years posted in any state .
@3fnt+1cx9X7XE I don’t think this person realizes that people have been mocking the “be careful what we wish for” comments.
I’m tired of these anti-union trolls with cr---y grammar, attempting to get members riled up against the union. It’s getting pathetic. The union has come out and said they’re negotiating work from home.
Be careful what you wish for you union is right you want to be at work and valuable work from home to long and show them that your job can be done from anywhere for a lot less money
@1vqo+1cx9X7XE I wish the people being se-----y harassed can work from home. This way they won’t be harassed anymore. The flip side, go back to an office that thinks it’s the 1950’s
@1vqo+1cx9X7XE
In office IS outsourced….wtf
@1vqo+1cx9X7XE This guy has no clue! Wishing to stay away from perverts and child molesters is the bad alternative? Come on, stop being a clown and take off the makeup. Work from home is the future and everyone knows it.
I’m pretty sure these posts are trying to get people to hate the cwa.
WFM will be outsourced. It's not a question of if but a question of when. Careful what you wish for...
Hahaha work from, more like sit at home
Another union whine post. Just quit or go on disability like you all do.
I’ve seen and heard questionable activity many times. While there’s a minority that don’t partake in it, there is a majority that believe the office is their real life Tinder.
To the OP, the CWA is working hard on keeping us home. We won’t be going back to that type of environment.
@bzd+1cx9X7XE Criticizes bad grammar while practicing bad grammar.
So wonderful to hear a positive employee for once.
“Safe…away from all these lowlifes, from hitting on me”
What a prize you must be, all non-lo----e and all
My assumption is you have a very high opinion of yourself even though you're probably in your mid-40s and 60 lb overweight. Your lack of command of the English language is also quite staggering. My assumption is your representative who's never met her sales goal ever and maximizes FMLA leave every year. Do I have this right?
Haha! 3 baby mommas. If you just went to Brooklyn, I know exactly who you’re talking about.
