Why? No one participating? Where’s the employee crying for vsp vol extension? Speaks volumes to VSP, might be low numbers but look at the volunteers that opted to leave. Talent and leadership lost.

Do the bare minimum guys. Prioritize your well being. Spend time with family and friends. Do not answer emails or phone calls during vacation. Go late, leave early. Enjoy life!!

I wanted to take vsp as I'm relocating to different state. they said I can reclocate and no take to take vsp. i'm a hybrid engineer

I gave my 110% to Verizon for six years. I worked weekends, stayed late, picked up extra work, and did all I could to make sure things got done on time even if I was the only one putting in any effort. Then I learned I was being let go. My job was... — read more 

And now we are going to have a bloodbath anyway?

2 weeks for VZ to decide should they stay or should they go. Some people got verbal they were going, my Mgr still says she doesn’t know anything. Hmmmmm

Now that the VSP window is closed what is next for Verizon. they announced 1500 in GNT but the numbers would be way less as many have revoked. What about GTS and VCG? When do you anticipate RIF and/or rebadging? Any Directors who can shed some light... — read more 

I got cold feet and rescinded my decision but I instantly regret it

Check out the layoff board for Wells Fargo. Almost a mirror image of the Verizon board, but the Wells Fargo people have been putting up with it longer. Hopefully the state of the Wells Fargo people isn’t the shape of things to come for the Verizon... — read more 

The job market is too flaky right now to be sc--wing around. Thinking you can apply for other jobs and time it so you get a paid vacation with spending money, then pick your career up right where you left off, is quite a tall task.

Is there one single positive about working here? I really don't remember at this point.

Missed it, did Genia have any VSP updates?

Take that any way you want, but that's the truth.

I just can’t get over how many bemoan the situation in which they find themselves. The have’s and the have not’s. The people whom make the decisions that affect your lives and drive you to message boards such as this are much like you. The only... — read more 

I took a package earlier this year. In today’s mail, I received a letter from Verizon. It stated that they made a mistake on my last payroll and that they overpaid me by $1,400. They asked for a cashier’s check within 30 days so they can ‘close’ my... — read more

You'd think HR would extend the deadline given the Crowdstrike issue! I couldn't logon to make the selection, now I gotta work at a company that is heading downhill faster than Joe Biden on a gurney!

When you stop believing in customer service and start cutting corners in that regard, then you can't be surprised when customers decide to take their business where they still feel valued. It's really not that complicated. Or at least it shouldn't be... — read more 

Anyone know if bonus is on target to be paid out at 100%?

I’m one of the 20 year - old timers (near retirement age) who has checked the box. I feel like a bachelor contestant in that I don’t wish to be picked to leave, but then I will disappointed if I’m not picked, so I’m ambivalent. I like my role and... — read more

A lot of VPs have described the VSP as a talent refresh. What chances do some of us stand to move to different positions via promotion post VSP in September?

Those who pushed the button wait to see if they were accepted and what their off payroll date will be. Those who are sticking around wait to see who leaves, how much more work they’ll pick up, and whether or not they’ll be laid off. Waiting sux! — read more

If I’m refused, then get RIFed, am I getting that famous enhanced package?

Is it true there were layoffs on 7/19? Is it true Value had impacts?

Heard there were major org changes announced today. Anyone have any details? Who is moving where?

Yeah. I’m that broke.

Is this true? I’m surprised, frankly. We can expect massive RIFs immediately afterwards in order to meet cost-cutting targets. Is there some not so obvious reason people are not taking VSP? I want to take it, now I’m wondering if there’s something I... — read more 

Vz Connect (telematics) doing what they do best, laying people off today.

Plus, they don't know how to do their jobs. I'm yet to meet a good and knowledgeable one. If you're wondering why Verizon keeps failing, there's your answer. The company keeps promoting people based on everything but merit. When that's true, you... — read more
