Verizon is illegally employing internationally STEM OPT students
Please report abuse to USCIS. It is illegal to employ OPT students through third party staffing agencies. Verizon is violating the laws and laying off US citizens
Open enrollment for two months, incentives only on Asurion-based features. Centers closing. Unprecedented self-serve push. $7 fee to pay bill.
All corporate call centers will be a thing of the past. Corporate Verizon will be as hard to get ahold of as corporate Google or corporate Amazon (and they'll charge you just to call us). "Layoffs" will be a thing of the past once centers close. No...

Why are they having a call together? Is this some sort of weird flashback?
RIFs This Week
The finance department in Basking Ridge has been hit by a rif this week. Not sure of % notified. Any other areas affected this week?
Useless Unlimited Plan
What the hell happened to the unlimited plans? They are slower than ever! Even without going over 22gb. Every other other word buffers when watching a video. It's pathetic!
So much for promotions
I'm so angry right now I don't know what to do with myself. I was laid off last week less than six months after I was promoted. My manager made such a big deal out of this promotion, just to turn around and stab me in the back only a few months down...

Verizon retail stores are staffed 1 manager for every 2.5 solution specialists wtf
Talk about trimming some fat this makes no sense at all. Too much leadership without the leading. Simple solution would be to increase key holders and make the management ratio 1/4 which is still crazy but a start.
Wireless RIF's coming ~ 5/17
Heard rumor that wireless RIF's are coming again, some select retail, operations, and call centers... coming again around 5/17 and paid till end of June As all the others take this with grain of salt just what I have heard.
Seriously?
It must be a really slow news day if this made the cut. I mean, shocking that you are actually expected to read up on what you are signing and inform yourself about what it really is before you do...

Anyone else hearing anything about this?
Call Center Closings?
So, we know that six or seven call centers are "relocating" to home based agents... for now at least. Any word on when the rest of the centers plan on doing this?
Seems just like yesterday!

August Retail Head Count Redustions
So it look like August is when we will see head count reduction from the rumors. Supposedly the magic number of contracts expected is 92 per employee that may vary by store. With the traffic we have had lately that's not happening.
Finally somebody noticing
Not the kind of publicity we need right now, but very much true... Comcast, AT&T and Verizon pose a greater surveillance risk than Facebook – but their surveillance is much harder to avoid...

The "I left and life is great!" trolls
