Anyone else hear the rumor that retail employees won’t be getting commission starting in 2020. Heard they’re just paying hourly.

Remember what happened to the folks that went to frontier. 401k,s are a non entity. As the old saying goes - "never count your chickens before they're hatched"

Have you gotten a settlement check yet? If so, do you have the number whereto call and find out any information about it?

I was understanding that the PBGC Rate was dropping to 0% for November which controls the Lump Sum for the first quarter of next year(the middle month, the quarter prior). Why is the rate now shown as .25?

What’s an estimated percentage raise for someone getting promoted from band 7 to 6 Individual Contributor?

Now shows .25 for January-Feb. About a 5% increase in lump sum.

I tore my cuff a couple months ago, on std. Does being on std freeze the rate your at from that point. Thinking about leaving and other people seem to show their increase as of last week, I don't see any, except on " projection" for February. Off... —  read more

So now we know. Just a standard package with no time added.

We just got extra week of vacation, and Hans just announced a new employee stock benefit starting next year. Details forthcoming. All in all, I’m glad all of the negative Nancy’s are out. 2.0 was a good thing!

Verizon Connect to cut 49 jobs in Waltham, shutter one of two locations https://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2019/11/18/verizon-connect-to-cut-49-jobs-in-waltham-shutter.html

I left the company and retired last Dec. Have there been anymore packages offered in wireless? I'm curious.

What do you think?

Thoughts?

Have you heard anything about potential Verizon Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

Isn't the latest PBGC interest rate .25%? Why does the company lump sum calculator show .50%?

Package being mailed 11/19 with an off payroll date of 12/21. 350 surplus declared in New York State.

Has anyone who took the VSP returned as a full-time employee with benefits and bridged service time? I know it was not supposed to happen. If so, what was the process?

2020 will be even harder..trust me you will be in or out ... outsourcing 60%.few top layer will be cleaned.

Is Verizon really going to place fios in all the blocks in n.y.c ,or are they just patching up stuff until those areas that they have trouble getting FIOS, will they get 5g to those areas to appease n.y.state
