Just wanted to start a thread, a bit ahead of time but 2019 is almost upon us. Good luck my Verizon peeps, I doubt I'll be around but will (often) come back to check this Verizon Rumors thread.

I am a temp lineman right now till march of next year. Hoping to get made permanent. Do you think there will be a future after 2023? Looking to get at least 15 years here.

We just got extra week of vacation, and Hans just announced a new employee stock benefit starting next year. Details forthcoming. All in all, I’m glad all of the negative Nancy’s are out. 2.0 was a good thing!
