Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Don't take lunch, you will be fired

So two techs were placed on unpaid leave because they were found in a bar during work hours. Watch your back kiddies, they are out for blood. Personally, I'm glad if they find techs doing things wrong and they fire them. We are not here to protect those who cheat the system.

If you have lunch in a bar that's your business, even if your smart enough to have a sepearte tab for your beer, do what you will. But for the love of god if someone in a Verizon shirt is sitting across the bar from you holding their phone up taking video of you drinking?????? Be more aware, your just making life more difficult for those of us doing the right thing.

Years ago when I started with the company the boss advised me that when I ate lunch to never pull my company van into a parking lot of a bar or anyplace that served alcohol. The commonsense of it just did not need to be explained to me past that point.

Hey Dopey, I think your post should say don't drink during lunch. One of these slobs could hurt someone driving a van all boozed up. They should be fired.

Our second level leaves in summer (in past years) at 11/11:30am every Friday to golf on the company dime, used to brag about golfing and drinking while we had to work. Entire building is now watching every time he leavea and where he goes now, in case old habits appear. One slip and he will be turned in. Same thing management is doing to associates. I follow all,and I mean ALL the rules, cuts productivity in half but keeps me out of trouble and rolling in overtime cash.

And of course nothing happened to the person recording them even though they were at the same bar
