I’m thinking to go for early retirement/VSP

I’m closer to retirement than not. I’ve hoped before that I'll be working far longer, but I’m so fed up with this place and the corporate world in general that I got to the point that I wouldn’t mind shaving off a few years. I’ve set up my finances a... — read more 

Assoc Directors or Sr Directors???

One of these titles need to go. Seems pretty useless having 4-5 Associate Directors reporting to a Sr. Director. Then you have 4-5 Sr Directors reporting to a VP. Really id--tic in my opinion. But that’s VZ, time to make the donuts guys.

Eisp for Union associates

So the new rumor is a targeted Eisp for techs sometime in August off payroll end of September .Seems like they keep pushing any possible eisp off further and further .I mean Some Rumors say maybe next year .Im starting to think with all the... — read more 

Unemployment

Does any state particularly NY NJ PA honor unemployment for a VSPer?

Don't Press the VSP Button

Don't press the button unless you are about to retire anyway. VZ is an easy place to be with a steady paycheck. It's not as bad as you think. Regards, 2018 Button Pusher

VSP for Band 5

Does anyone know what is the VSP package for Band 5? Is it the same 60 weeks max or more? I believe the regular severance for Band 5 is much higher, minimum of 39 weeks and max of 52 weeks. So a VSP of 60 weeks for Band 5s is not that much lucrative... — read more 

VSP - Age discrimination?

Verizon's VSP situation is messed up. My boss is telling us not to take it, but they're telling older employees and those close to retirement to go for it. They even admitted this in a one-on-one. If they stay back then they will be chopped off in... — read more 

vsp

has anyone heard any rumors of the take rate of the vsp

Can you imagine?

Having a decent leadership that actually knows what they’re doing and inspires loyalty and respect? Being proud of working in the company? Having satisfaction from work well done? Being appreciated and valued if you are hard working and trying to be... — read more 

Confused

So in August the VSP approvals comes out. Why are the blogs saying, "Verizon Communications Inc. has hinted at potential job cuts starting in August, though specifics remain under discussion." Its clear VSP.

New VSP or RIFs

Has anyone heard any new chatter about a VSP or RIFs in other departments in VCG?

Why can't we deal with the real issue?

Until we get rid of the entire upper management and put people who actually know what they're doing in their place, Verizon is going nowhere. They're the source of all our problems. Seriously, how much do you have to sc--w up in top management before... — read more 

No News as to what comes next?

Serious question...I thought all of the president's men were supposed to be providing information on what comes next after this VSP? Didn't Hans initial email say we had to be all in for what's next? It can't just be the rebranding...They clearly... — read more

I live pretty far from my "home" location. I was told that I can pick another location closer to my house if I wish... BUT, whats the point when NO ONE from my team will be there? BUT, thats besides the point, any ma agers on here can confirm this?... — read more 

Why is 1101 playing games on here?

I heard it’s steward, sometimes a business agent and most of the time a lonely tech. What is the point of going on about lies and trying to get your members to hate the union?

The wait is painful

6 1/2 mor weeks until Aug 14, the wait is painful. Has anyone pushed the button and change their mind ? Not me.

I miss Verizon Wireless

I miss working for Verizon Wireless. I miss the 150% - 200% bonus payouts. I miss the leadership, but above all, I miss the feeling of pride I had working for wireless. I loved the company. Maybe it was because new cell phones were still a hot... — read more 

Consulting firms lack of technical acumen

The problem with consulting companies like Infosys , hcl , tech Mahindra is that they lack good technical management and are full of project managers who look at technical issues like deer in the headlights. These snake oil salesmen might be a good... — read more 

No package just new logo

Well its confirmed I just heard from my 3rd liner that there is probably not going to be anything offered to union in way of an eisp package .possible untill possibly later 2025 or even later.And No it has nothing to do with the new terrible logo... — read more 

RTO for those taking VSP?

Anyone know if they plan to enforce the 8 days a month rule for those taking the VSP? I'd expect them to track conformance at some point, but are those who clicked the button at risk between know and Sept 13?

We keep winning!

If the company is so concerned about finances, why doesn’t the Exec committee follow the rules and quit paying million dollar fines to the Government? Seems to me that stockholders should figure out what ‘accountability’ means, and hold VZ execs to... — read more

Union and Management Unite!!

Did y’all see that new shinny red logo! A joke right? They probably spent days in the board room to figure that out… Well here’s what’s really coming! This company wants to sell pretty much every function to HCL Tech. Do a little research and... — read more 

VSP taker here

I figured even if I stayed I would be on the chopping block at all times anyway. This way leaving at least paid off. I have since had few comparable job options in terms of pay, and some of them seem better in terms of work environment and hours... — read more 

Nothing premium about ugly colors of the logo

Whoever did this to Verizon logo should be ashamed. Ugliest colors from the color palette. It makes it look like fish market in Asia than a premium brand of America. Change it before making changes everywhere

Just what a troubled company needs…

A NEW LOGO! Let’s spend millions on new signage and communications. You knew it was coming—a new “Creative” person at the top, and a way of getting into the media with a ‘no news’ article. Does a flaming “V” really help to turn the financially... — read more

Do you invest in your tech skills?

I am in my late thirties. I try to find time to upgrade my skills and be informed on what’s the latest in demand. I mean, as much as I can. I figure that’s the only way to make sure you’ll be employable. It’s not easy, it’s time consuming (and also... — read more 

Union stewards from 11 01 are just lonely.

There is no package for Union members being offered until late 2025, maybe 2026. 1101 has fallen apart since they combined with 1105. Here, we see the manipulation these reps have endured for ages. Now it’s infecting the techs. 1101 was a proud... — read more
