Stores are not a safe place to be right now
First of all let me say that I’m not somebody who advocates store closures, lockdowns, sales going totally online, or whatever. We have to go to work, the economy has to function, so does the company and there is nothing we can do about it. On the... — read more

Maine to Miami Fla
If anyone has ever watched fox business news you would see a lot of broadcast from the new financial center in Miami . I wonder if they would be interested in how someone made a 65% return rate over 10 years? Maybe Stewart Varney who loves... — read more
Excessive Self Regard Tendency (remind you of anything?)
Excessive Self Regard Tendency Humans think of themselves as better than they are, think of their possessions as more valuable than they are, and think of their decisions as better than they are. There is a name in psychology for this... — read more
I don't get it
I'm astounded at what some of the employees are willing to take to keep their job. I've seen older employees yelled at and humiliated by younger managers and all they do is keep their mouths shut. And this happens repeatedly. I nearly intervened once... — read more
Post
Why is this message board not filled with constructive criticism. Every post has one liner anecdotes, real arguments should be based on something that makes sense in the English Language. How far has the American English gone; are there over 10... — read more
Poor communication
One of the big problems at Verizon Communications is precisely the lack of good communication. Ineffective communication is so frustrating and normally leads to a low morale. It seems to me that this has never been worse. For some things where I... — read more

No-warning layoffs
I can deal with being laid off if I'm given some time to prepare mentally for the possibility. I hate it when I see people laid off with no previous warning. I can just imagine how it feels to be blindsided with something like that. I'd rather worry... — read more

Is everybody at Verizon really this unhappy?
My goodness, an outsider looking at posts here would get an impression that everybody who works at Verizon is utterly miserable. It makes me wonder why so many of you are not looking for a solution to your problems at other companies. If I was this... — read more
