I just got back from an after work outing with some big dogs in the company, where my supervisor got wasted and basically let it slip that Verizon plans to dump major reduntant positions on the wireline side to slim down labor before a potential sell off. He said the suits couldn't justify how much money the landline side was hemorrhaging any more and there were a few potential buyers that were moderately interested if the "price was right" ie: if they layoff enough redundant positions. They're looking to move on this in the next 8-12 months. Good luck.

Watch the finance webcast... good insight there....
Did anyone watch ves webcast this week and hear intro of new vp of strategy and planning? Came from Century Link. Originally Qwest, key player in the Century Link purchase of Qwest deal. Plans are in plain sight if you are paying attention.
I also heard Dunder Mifflin was looking at the landline
Sounds legit for real. Look at the buyout and all the unknowns of how we look after it. We don't know how many they want to take it or what is next? I find that very hard to believe. This post actually makes sense and fits this puzzle we are in. Someone knows but is hiding it. Just shoot straight already....
2 mths later these mocking naysayers sure look like id--ts. Crow, meet pie.
This post sounds mostly made up. (Except for the Supervisor got wasted part). But it is probably mostly true, and the same thing on the wireless side.
OP put that sheet your smoking out, open a window and ventilate before your mom smells it. She'll be down soon to remind you to report to the mall tonight for you shift.
Big dogs. are you talking Mastiff or Great Dane?
What is wrong with Hoolihans?...
Just got back from scuba diving trip in Bora Bora with Hans Vestberg and freaking Lowell McAdam showed up too! Both told me not to tell anyone but they are seriously considering buying the Church & Dwight Company!
They both had a specific product from the company and we're trying it out on each other. They looked extremely happy afterward so I think it might happen.
anyway, Good Luck!
Your supervisor? Big Dogs? No one who works with "the big dogs" talks about supervisors. What a bunch of BS. All the OP said was just what any of us with half a brain would expect anyway. We all know things will happen eventually, but it's just the timing. The OP moron doesn't know anything.
These dude pretending they have job security will be thinking of this post when they're being escorted out the building in a couple months
It wouldn't surprise me one bit. NOBODY is safe at Verizon - either side. If you think you can't be laid off you might want to rethink that idea.
@dtp, wish there were a way of giving a comment a thumbs up.
I sudpect the OP had a hidden agenda in that silly post, that of provocateur, but the rank and file didn’t fall for it.
Nice try troll.
It seems our resident anti-union troll, after having tried slurs, vulgarity, name calling, lies, ageism, & racism and, seeing all desperately fail, has now been s---ed into his own imaginary world, spinning a juvenile tale that he actually thought an adult would believe.
You’re so transparent.
I suspect that you actually work at a kiosk in a mall and have probably just come home from a night at the Hoolihans bar at the same mall. Your problem is that you are green with envy. Stick it, pal!
