Hard to believe VZ is not on the NJ Warn List for 2025
How is VZ laying off all year round without adding to the NJ Warn List which is against the law https://www.nj.gov/labor/assets/PDFs/WARN/2025_WARN_Notice_Archive.pdf
RTO: 25% of bossess hint layoffs are the real purpose of RTO
New research suggests many companies have used return-to-office (RTO) mandates as a tool to reduce headcount. A BambooHR survey of over 1,500 U.S. managers found that one-quarter of C-suite executives admitted they hoped RTO policies would prompt... — read more
Layoffs in Joe Russo and B2B
Just heard layoffs coming in those two organizations. Shamedul we have to live like this everyear every quarter. Hans is getting the company to be all off shore. Verizon will not end well in the future.
Building closures
Word is that a lot of buildings are closing EOY and info went out today. Boston is supposedly on that list … craziness.

20% HC reduction
40%, New Hires and increased match to 401k gone because of a 2% increase to retiree healthcare. Why?
RTO will make me quit in the end
Almost two hours wasted on the commute. On a good day. Feels like that was the plan from the start, to force people out without paying a dime. People mention real estate/tax incentives as the main driver of RTO, but I think it’s mostly about cutting... — read more
Special up to speed today with Hans and the BOD
Any guesses as to the subject(s)
Short Term Disability factored in stack ranking?
Asking here because I’ll never get a honest answer on company letterhead. You have so much FMLA time (12 weeks) then you have so much Short Term Disability (26 weeks), which can run concurrently. Do people who need to go beyond the protected 12 weeks... — read more
Is this happening at VZ?
A company-dominated union, also called a "yellow union," is a worker organization that is controlled or heavily influenced by the employer rather than by the employees it is meant to represent. These unions are often established and directed by... — read more
4th Quarter Union Package
I don’t know what titles would be eligible for the EIPP. Hopefully for field techs and COTS. The union has confirmed this.
The union turned down a 40% raise because of a 2 % increase in retiree healthcare!
I want my raise, my healthcare, and job protections. The union can and will get it for us.
RTO Compliance
I honestly don’t see myself ever going back to the office. What happens if I just dont show up—would they actually fire me? Do they even track badge swipes? Is HR planning to enforce this policy ?

Finance RTO Location Doublespeak
What are we doing about the Band 5s in non strategic sites? They’re cashing chex laughing at the rest of us go back to the office…. What a crock that us staff must adjust to RTO but they still work from home and don’t come in the office. We all... — read more
Is Verizon Pulling The Plug on Video?
Serious question? Or Rumor?
Can you hear me now?
Verizon is dying like Sprint. Bad contracts, no vision, poor leadership. Is Elon the answer?
Public Policy Ireland Celebration!
Wasn’t it great to see the person that represents Verizon to Congress to help offshore jobs, go to Ireland where those American jobs were moved to and celebrate it on LinkedIn? Leadership personified! Exhilarating and exciting indeed. Can’t wait to... — read more

H-1B announcement - Impact on VZ?
How do you think the recent announcement requiring $100,000 per year for H1B visas will impact VZ? Recognizing that existing holders are exempt, what do you think the timing of any impacts will be? Especially interested to hear from any current H1B... — read more
Massive re organization
Massive company wide re org announcing in the next week … anyone know more information ?
New badges
What’s the deal with the new badges they are giving everyone? Do they have new tech to scan into the buildings?
Location strategy questions
Anyone know how location strategy plays into union employees/locations? I get it that their current contract has them working from home, but with management being required to come back, it would stand to reason the union would follow. And the union... — read more

If We’re Calling BS, Let’s Start With Verizon’s Own Playbook
Fair enough, Leslie and Angie. But honestly, the real BS at Verizon hasn’t been the outside noise — it’s been the inside story. Years of layoffs, a wireline business that’s basically gone, and leadership that’s lost the plot. That’s what people are... — read more
When can employees order the new iPhone 17?
Is there any guidance yet on that date? Thanks.
I swear Verizon is like a black hole for careers
You start excited and five years later you’re wondering what even happened. It’s all meetings and bureaucracy, zero growth, and no one seems to notice whether you’re actually good at your job. Definitely not what I signed up for.
