VES RIFs in the works - 15% confirmed in some groups

15% cut in one particular VES group CONFIRMED. Other VES groups impacted, but numbers not yet confirmed. Due to the reporting structure of these two groups being completely different, it is assumed the cuts will be largely "across the board".

Happy Holidays - Verizon style!..... "Happy Thanksgiving, don't let the door hit you on the @ss on your way out!"

What is WBG? (Wireless Business Group? ) Are these the wireless sales that VES takes credit for? I thought that when you manage the business in one manner, the external financial statements need to be reported in a similar manner? It seems misleading for Wireless to report these sales externally, but have VES report these internally. Worse, both having both Wireless and VES reporting the same sales internally. Get your act together Stratturd!

So isn't WBG just a new layer of VES,

How many ways can you payout on the same sale.

Do the stock holders know what is going on?

You could double or triple the number of salespeople at VES and new logos would not increase at all. By the same token, you could cut the sales force in half and, still, nothing would happen. The market is saturated and prices will continue to go down. There is no real strategic reason to keep this horror other than to employ a very high priced senior leadership team to be babysitters. End to end integration to streamline ordering is a great idea...if customers were ordering something!

What does "VES" stand for. The only thing I can get is it has to do with MCI somehow?

Not surprised - How VES fits into the "New Verizon" is a mystery to me...Then again everything has been turned upside-down.
