They must not have been happy with the results they got last time.

The people that do the job are never asked, what can we do to make your job more efficient. Instead, the smart folks in VLSS believe they know best. So the decisions they make put one roadblock after another in front of us. Now I know not every idea from a worker is a good one, but come on, we know best.
1bph that was one of the most intelligent and accurate posts I've seen on this entire site. And I'll add that pretty much anything with an acronym is the same amount of waste - Vlss, ves, wbg, cao, millions and millions of wasted dollars flowing out the doors, creating the "need" to let go thousands of people in lower middle class who do the actual work that lets these fat cats get fatter. And as bad as it was 6 months ago, since the recent "leadership" changes, it's gotten even that much worse. Now we have clueless neurotic micromanaging b--ches who think the wireless business is the same as it was 10 years ago and driving the stake deeper into the ground. Pathetic.
The VLSS team consists of puppets that couldn't manage but constantly need self valadation via. The "NO" answer to everything. Verizon deserves what it gets.
VLSS was good for about a year or two to trim the fat off of the company and streamline processes. After that period there's nothing left to cut and to justify their existence they try cutting miniscule pieces of fat in the grain of the meat. If you let them keep going you just wind up with a ruined steak that is totally tasteless... and that's a good analogy of what's happening here. You wind up with a ruined husk of a company that can't keep up with its own internal work because there aren't enough employees and morale is at rock bottom. Basically, it's time to kill that project and fatten up the ranks again.
Thanks for answering my "What is VLSS" question". I have heard of it as the Verizon Lean Six Sigma and never bought into it. To me it seemed a waste and as if someone was trying to save their jobs to create this.
I thoroughly enjoyed filling out my survey and hope it isn't anonymous. The freehand write-in portion was my favorite. I blasted them about all I know is wrong with this company and it's poor leadership with their anti employee attitudes, horrible executive hiring, over compensated execs, elimination of the LTI bonus for everyone... but kept it for director and above, the continual chipping away of STI. Rest assured our 2016 STI will be reduced due to leadership failures but I'm sure McDumba$ will get his $18.5M. Little baby gap boy will get a fat bonus even after T-MOB and Sprint Mktg VPs routinely kick his a$s. I also enjoy voting against the board and VZ recomendations with my shares in the spring... I suggest you do the same.
VLSS is a huge waste but this is one of McDumba$$'s pet teams. Most on VLSS team would have lost their jobs but leadership added them to this group. They report bloated savings or revenue generation to justify their existence. If VZ wanted to make and save $, put together a program to reward the front line minions for their ideas. They know what works and what doesn't Eliminate the wasteful HQ positions including entire groups like VLSS. Those closest to the customer are the most important...they talk to the customer, sit across the desk from the customer, install the equipment to serve the customer. VZ cuts those jobs and keeps VLSS and HQ jobs.... poor excessively overcompensated leadership. VZ had and has a great opportunity but has horrible leadership, is out of touch, and doesn't care about front line staff.
The VLSS must be eliminate! This the creation of the lazy American to justice the wages. Only when global diversity achieved VDSI complete great vision American fear!
Verizon Lean Six Sigma. You must not work for Verizon if you don't know who they are.
Lowell's little hatchet team.
Question. What is VLSS?
VLSS is a joke here. Only used to justify killing and cutting at verizon.
Tell me how they did ANYTHING worthwhile, long term.
Thats what I thought. What a waste.
Funny about v l s s . I was in one of those "voice of employee " teams as a participant . There was a bald guy from mid west somewhere and he talked very negative about retail. When we stated a recomendatin in regards to improving retail experience , he would say we don't want to do that and pay someone a worthless $ per hour to do that. One year later they cut thousands of jobs nation wide. Thanks vlss for cuting jobs . Jeres.
Lol before I left I wrote like and 8 page letter in thatv Survey. It's amazing how poorly wireless treats there employees.
The results they got last time were very poor. I remember the question was asked if you understand how VLSS contributes to the company and the score was really low. They are worthless.
Trump 2016!
