Next Friday ends a 25-year run. There are tons of things to question, but it’s hard to complain when being paid to leave. As things wind down, I’ve been thinking about the VSP…. HR said to do what’s best for your family – but hard to do when no... — read more 

Anyone else feeling that way lately about the CMO org? Seems like all the good people have either left, are leaving, or are planning to leave soon. Poor communication, lacking visibility with Leslie, and backstabbing rewarded with promotion and... — read more 

Anyone else having difficulty accessing the vsp portal to sign documents?

Don’t relocate, don’t lose time coming to some hub. All they want to do is to make you quit or create conditions you can not meet so they can fire you. Think about what is the best thing for yourself and act accordingly. I personally don’t think for... — read more 

The company is moving further and further away from the remote workers it stranded when it closed all the call centers. More work is being shifted offshore every day. Most technical jobs are now in India only. For months you've had to know the... — read more 

Looks like we are doing it again, buying something for more than its worth. Was looking at the Frontier layoff site and there are plenty of rifs there as well. And someone who could tell the future back in April saying Vz was buying Frontier. We are... — read more 

Remember when doing great work at Verizon meant you were on the fast track? Going above and beyond used to get you somewhere. Nowadays, it feels like mediocrity gets all the praise and rewards, while top performers are being pushed out the door. How... — read more 

As in another ISP offer coming before the end of the year?

So with this buying of frontier I would think it would bring more work less Riffs //

I thought VZ sold off Fios, Landline etc in 2015 2016 in certain areas like Ca, Fl and Tx for like 10.5 mil!

Buying back the assets we sold to Frontier. John Stratton leaves Vz, becomes CEO of Frontier then sells Frontier to Verizon. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/verizon-nearing-deal-frontier-communications-175129593.html

My job after leaving Vz requires everyone to take bribery and corruption training. The hilarious thing is that the first example of consequences of corruption violations used in the training is the Ericsson corruption and bribery case that occurred... — read more 

I know there have been basically three different IPPS that craft is occasionally offered. IPP, Enhanced IPP and super EIPP I think? What exactly is offered with each type? Is the extra cash given in a lump sum or over time? Thanks in advance for any... — read more 

The only one I have at this point has nothing to do with Verizon itself. The job market su-ks and I don't feel like dealing with rejection, since that's most likely to happen a lot. That's it. That's why I'm not leaving just yet. Everything else... — read more 

There will be another isp offer in the new year I was told by a union official unsolicited

Another isp is coming in the new year for union members I was told by a bidg union official unsolicited.

They are gutting HCL former team members. This place will be a sis. So sad for the. Hans standing around watching things burn with his snarky attitude and DEI lackeys

I’m relatively new. I know last year it was November.

Anyone in the Public Sector BGCO group? Are they doing any layoffs now that VSP dates are out? Or any word on the new work load we're getting since people took the package? I know they already added crazy workload with the overflow calls.

Can’t wait to be free from his control, manipulation and corporate politic games. Fu--ing hate working here so much. Worst manager I’ve ever had

Any word on rifs this week? It seems like people would be alerted this week since they normally give people a month notice and next month is the end of a quarter. Or will they wait for November?

I’d like to leave you with one final challenge: Stay hungry. Don’t be content or take the easy way forward. When someone tells you “that’s the way it’s done” or “everybody knows that …” an alarm should go off in your head. You may make mistakes by... — read more 

When will the latest restructuring or whatever they're calling it these days finally be done?

Unless Hans and Shankar leave things are not gonna improve...No vision !!

Laid off (was not eligible to volunteer for VSP but received it). I have an offer to stay, but it’s a lower band. Base pay will drop from $114 to $79k. Stay or take VSP and walk? Payout is 57 weeks.

Allow outside techs to retire to reduce surplus in Boston centers

Can’t wait to see workload staying the same after cuts/layoffs/VSP because of the AI revolution. Somehow I think that is never going to happen.

Don’t say read the FAQ. I know what it says, but just wondering how quickly does that discount get auto removed? Next day?

The title says it all. Wondering how many of the posts on here are real vs. trolling semi-truths vs. malicious rumor conjuring. Let’s hear what all the V-Teamers have to say!

Seriously if this guys stays and VZ gives him more responsibilities we are all doomed!! Stock price will be at 12 in no time :)-

RIF’d with severance package in TX - not to be confused with VSP. Would I be eligible to register for unemployment benefits? Anyone know? I was denied unemployment benefits with option to appeal and have a hearing. Not sure it’s worth the trouble... — read more 

My release date is March and I'm already struggling with motivation. What are your thoughts on using a combination of Vacation,PTO,and FMLA to burn time?

I'm not so sure if I read correctly but is it true VZ objective is a 25% labor cut. ? Replies if anyone knows the true facts on above statement.

That’s the post! Think about the people with 15 years of work experience who have to report to this nightmare.. when you know that your boss knows nothing and has no real experience other than being favorite. No prizes for guessing which org.. — read more 

That is all.

About 20 years ago I received a RIF lump sum. I had 28 years and received lump sum of $400K along with 3 months pay with Medical insurance for life. Curious is this what is given out now. Thank you for your replies.

Anyone who took the last VSP file for unemployment and did you get approved ? I’ve heard from a few follow employees they were granted unemployment with the VSP.

Is it more if you were RIF then receiving pension. ex; RIF package and pension would be more then taking only pension. I know it is a stupid question, but I think if you were RIF VZ would give you a payoout plus if you qualify for pension that... — read more
