Anyone else here that didn’t take the VSP and now have low morale? I’m hurting because I got penalized for choosing to have a job and now I’m stuck doing more work for the same amount of money.
I truly hope big RED does what is right, and gives us a huge pay increase along with a bonus to compensate us for the work load that was handed to us.
Big red do the right thing? How long have you been employed with VZ? Have more luck trying to milk a bull.
You're f'd. Workload will always increase. I've seen very little real effort for reducing work that is non-essential from leadership. We saw this in VSP #1 which is why I pushed the button.
@9uzl, hopefully life will turn around for you in the near future.
I would do anything to go back. I took vsp thinking it was to relocate, but it took time to realize I was just completely burnt out. I had 5 bosses in 2 years, numerous reorgs, and was in the middle of high pressure power battles to take on overlapping teams’ work without the resources. I was in back to back meetings all day everyday while constantly dealing with firedrills for numerous groups and reorgs. Meanwhile shadow finance flaunted their great work life balance while finance finance and FPAS finance were drowning. Several business leaders that I supported also left in “planned exits.” I needed a real break (probably loa) but gave up years of connections, friends, influence and opportunity instead. I convinced myself I wasn’t running from something but running to a great opportunity to relocate. But I actually just ruined my life and the leadership that pressed me to the breaking point with years of no role clarity could care less. Right? Right? I even had personal days left when leaving as I was so driven to succeed and deliver. In the end, I lost everything in a stupid act of desperation taking vsp. I am completely lost and broken now and really wish I had powered through.
i am regretting not taking the VSP. i am now working with a bunch of monkeys.
good luck to all.
btw it's tu-d.
What a terd the OP is. Go cry somewhere else baby.
For me, knowing my already unsustainable work load would increase was incentive enough to take the VSP. Truly wishing you all the best and hoping that the restructures help with your bandwidth.
OP, if "end-of-life, golden years, retirement time" describes you, why didn't you take the VSP?
@peo yes, if you place zero value on your near end-of-life, golden years, retirement time, I guess you could consider one coming out "ahead"?
It’s a year’s pay but that’s it. If you stay and keep your job for more than that, wouldn’t you come out ahead?
Now you know they’re not increasing any wages. The goal was to get rid of us to save money and increase their profits to make the shareholders happy. The good news is that you have a job and you can look for other jobs while you’re still employed. I hope that helps.
