Above or below 60?

I heard from my boss they wanna get rid of both, can you believe the craziness of that idea?

Word is they are assessing impacts from round 1, but there will be a round 2 which will include both IT and business resources. VZ employees this round.

Everyone getting laid off. Commissions are being removed? Area vp is being replaced? Store closures? What's this important call about?

Looks like instead of going around the country promoting STEM programs for young women. VZ should concentrate more on this for all young people https://thehill.com/policy/technology/479388-senators-fret-over-lack-of-manpower-to-build-5g

Thinking about applying for this job. Is this side non union? How’s the pay? Are they likely to get laid off? Thanks

Kyle laughed at the idea of a 4-day work week. Hmmm... well, I guess I'll take my AI and ML credentials to a company that doesn't think that question is humorous. See ya!

5G is the dream turned nightmare. Not going to happen kids, the product s—s and everyone and their grandmother knows it. You realize those transmitters are dangerous right? You realize many towns are pushing back on having it deployed? More... —  read more

Heard the build out for Fios is gonna start again, bringing back retired folks as contractors at twice the pay.....reliable anonymous source.

Anyone who picked “absence / vacation control” as the hot topic for January wins an all expense paid vacation to... oops... can’t take that week sorry

That’s what i heard from a good source. They didn’t get enough on last one. This one will be the 50k dollar one. Off payroll end of March.

Verizon Communications Inc. said its Fios video and internet service would abandon the cable-industry tradition of locking customers into long-term bundled packages, the latest effort to contend with the rise of cord cutting. The new model, called... —  read more 

Verizon will hold off on expanding its millimeter wave 5G wireless home broadband service until at least the second half of 2020, citing equipment availability issues. Ronan Dunne, executive vice president and group CEO of Verizon’s Consumer... —  read more 

With the entire 5G build out for residential data customers, it seems as if 5G will be offered in the same footprint as Fios. Do you think they may sell Fios off to anyone such as Frontier?

Please don't hijack this thread with any of the usual craft vs management BS. I legit am curious if craft will be receiving this plan too.

I just saw the program announced today and it seems to be much better (at least in the long term) than the profit sharing it is replacing. The grant amount is based only on location, # of hours and pay band. As a full time band 6 individual... —  read more 

I'm a young person. Will going away from profit sharing and doing company stock screw us over as time goes on? How does this affect taxes?

Off all the sources I checked this seems like the best place to get an honest answer...

The future is finally here.

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised they haven't started already.

Any guesses for 2020? I'ma say 100.

12/28 VSP here. My VZ paid COBRA will be done in 30 days. There is the VZ Acess Pre Medicare plan but for single coverage I am looking at around $1100 a month with basic Dental. Anyone using Medishare? If so does it really work?

Heared 151 in FAA1 how about Nassau and Suffolk

I left. haha Hahaha haha. Hahaha hahahahaha ha haha Ha haha hah!
