I suppose only field ops

The word around BR is that there will be very few of the Frontier employees will stay on after the system merger.
Service bridging, yes but only the years that they actually worked at Verizon and for retirement to get fully vested for 401k, and not for vacations, etc. That is how the company has always handling it and there is even a policy you can read up on it. Only time you can bridge on time is if you got rehired within 9/10 months of leaving if I recall the policy correctly. The company got tired of the double dippers who would retire and then come back, bridge their time on, work for a few years and then retire again. I knew of someone who retired 3 times from the company. Hence why the company now has a policy. I believe it has been in place since 2012/2013
I got bridged and the best bridge story I saw was a manager who left NYNEX for GTE, left GTE for BEL, and at the forming for Verizon bridged it all. There will be a lot of that with Frontier. A lot of people coming home to Mama.
Of course they will bridge time. If you’ve been around long enough you’ve seen this before. Verizon will recognize all your years of service if you’ve come from GTE or a Bell company just as they’ve done in the past. That should scare all the current Verizon employees that have been hired in the last 15 years.
I could see Verizon trying to get out of the purchase now that federal funding for Rural Broadband is not going to fiber but to satellite.

Not a chance
If you are referring to service bridging, probably not, but who knows? Most may be lucky (at least management) to keep their job. You probably won't know the answer to this until after the acquisition is finalized.
Never there chicken feed now
