Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Is Pulse dead and buried?

Feels like forever since we had to fill out that useless piece of tripe. If Dan ki-led it, then he’s accomplished one win, at least

If they nixed that then they have nixed the only way you had to provide input on how things are ran in your area. Sad really.

I can barely feel my "pulse". I'm about to drop "dead" from the added stress of being short staffed.

The best part of this rather useless survey was that it was advertised to employees as voluntary, but behind the scene employees were pressured by their leaders to do it.

Sick of team building activities too. Sure, lay off a bunch of people, and double the workload of those left behind, then require them to participate in different activities that take time away from the mountain of work they are forced to compplete.

@a4, yea and inevitably the solution was to create a team to plan social events and ways to “improve the culture.” Which inevitably (again) fizzled out within a few months. But at least, group leaders could pat themselves on the shoulder and check the box. The parody here is sooo ripe

@a3 This one always cracked me up as I sit alone covering multiple CO's. "Yes, my best friend is Mister Wall. I talk to him all day long since there's nobody else here."

@a2 , yea, we all knew what happened if the ratings were poor...we'd get dragged into meetings where we had to do SWOT analyses and end up getting assigned stupid tasks with the goal of improving the scores. SMH

I hope so. They spent a million dollars per year for that echo chamber of coerced positive feedback to make the sorority happy.
