Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

On tomorrow's Up to Speed

Jeremy and the crew will explain the reason that Basking Ridge is such a cool, comfortable place to work while back in the Central Offices there aren't even tables or chairs in the break rooms. For you people who don't know what a central office is, it's where your wireline, wireless and FIOS backbone networks are. Yes, those dinosaur union guys do keep that stuff running!

@s. Freud

Do you believe someone is a$$anine enough to believe what they wrote, that they're going to call vz security over words? I would hope you're better than that (and the idiot who actually made the silly little security threat)

@1sox "Barry" LOL..and Verizon wants so bad to be a millennial-style modern company or so they claim..

I did a job for facebook one time, I thought I was in a college dorm. Bottles of whiskey and guitars lying around, rooms named after Seinfeld episodes. Nice kitchen and plenty of couches. Meanwhile at Verizon you have to hide the coffee-maker. That says it all doesn't it?

Granted facebook employees are probably a bit more talented than the average Verizon worker, but a coffee maker, microwave, and table and chairs in a break room are not too much to ask. They might even have that in minimum security prisons! Maybe a couch. What a ridiculous fear-based management style Verizon has developed over the last several years. What good has it really done?

I think Up to Speed is very valuable and is hip and cool.

The microwaves and coffee makers disappear when the bigshots come to town

XO has COs too, and they're not union. Verizon Business in India, Europe, and Australia all have COs and they aren't Union either.

Maybe you should turn in your workbelt and swap it for some spreadsheets in Lake Mary or Tulsa.

@1dzo is obviously being a smarta$$ and you guys missed it. You actually fell for someone so sensitive, so insecure and childlike, who's supposedly going to contact vz security over an anonymous non-threatening post on a two bit website? Yikes, y'all are dopes....

@1zts thank you, so I don't have to write what u did. Sensitive people, are the reason AMERICA is dead. Get security involved over words? We have fallen as a society to the point of near extinction.

Up to speed is the biggest piece of steaming garbage and everyone on there seems extremely fake. 99% of those up to speed emails get deleted without being watched so the viewership rates are similar to GO90.

We will lay off good people but keep these fools employed that bring nothing to the table. Them or the ones that write the stupid articles on the homepage. Who cares about the accessory of the month. And the 60 second prices w the upper crust dufuses that give bs answers.

Outside of New England, wireline isn't jack $hit. So I can't relate what so ever. No union slobs out here.

Just one question, how in the heck did that guy Jermey get him job? He seems so fake, and his girdle looks like it's going to bust open any day.
