Do we know anything about Tulsa and whether it’s being chopped? Huge cavernous and dated building with a couple hundred people huddling on 2/4 floors in 1/5 wings. I guess we own the big tu-d but been trying to get rid of it for years. Odd that it don’t come up in these conversations about what offices are closing because it seems like the first one I’d get rid of

@gf to be clear, they are all really smart people, but leadership has instilled the absolute worst, fear-based culture in both VZB Tulsa and XO (fmr Saginaw, MI) employees that you can clearly see is visibly crippling when interacting with the teams. I really wish they would have been treated better. They're hard workers, just traumatized.
@24p Same goes for Lake Mary, no senior leadership to speak of. Since Dan took over, has ANY senior leader made a road trip to other locations? Then track back when the last time any visited and spent any time with the rank-and-file. Senior leadership engagement is burden to them where they spend as little time as possible with their teams.
Tulsa will get notification before the end of the month. As an employee I have not been to the office but once this year. No one seems to care. Ask yourself when was the last time that a SVP or higher visited the building? Finance has a large presence there but the leaders never visit. Our Tulsa employees demand better!
@af it’s still like 500. Look at the slack channels
@dq Tulsa had a piece of sh-t culture and from what I hear the XO guys did, as well. On top of being paid jack sh-t.
@ay this is spot on. There should be a lawsuit against the company for toxic work conditions. There was even a sr director at Tulsa who unalived himself it was so bad and multiple middle manager employees who were so burnt out they quit without jobs. Yet Verizon just carries on with lies, chaos, overlap and confusion with layoffs and offshoring as always.
Execs don't care about VZ employees.... fact
Tulsa consistently scored highest in Pulse scores, metrics, productivity, and longevity. Salaries are lower due to lower cost of living, it’s an owned facility and has a wide network for talent. And with it closing it proves the leadership in Verizon are clueless and don’t give a da#n about employees. The people left there will be WFH while the rest of sheeple trek to the office lol. Poetic Justice.
@OP pack up your personal belongings. It will be closed soon.
All the lives Shammo wrecked to completely dismantle finance and send it to Tulsa and Lake Mary. The nonsense quest to make finance "world class." The endless transformation. Now the offices are closing. What a complete joke the senior team was and is. VZ makes money and was #1 completely inspite of itself. Year after year of bungled decisions. The execs got rich and we got RIFd or overworked.
Nobody cares about Tulsa…Fact
It’s a big office. Heard it used to be beyond capacity. Sad to see how Verizon leadership has let so many people down.
@ad probably not more than 300 after the rif
How many employees are in Tulsa?
