#building

• Waiting as long as 15/20 mins for a shuttle.
• One elevator at a time calls.
• Weak ACs on bus.
• Hot hallway and elevators.

When are they going to fix this???

Could there be any more realignment possibilities left with the rest of the facility?

How is 308 s akard st building. Is the office older than whitacre tower?

It seems every bathroom I visit has a broken sink or toilet. My personal favorite is the toilet that has not stopped flushing for weeks. I wonder how many gallons of water it has used.

I’ve heard from multiple sources, some as high as EVP, that wheels are in motion for the company to buy/lease space at the MetLife site in Warwick, RI. And that Custody/ Fid Wealth could occupy that space. It’s on Rt 2 near the Lowe’s and Aldis and car dealerships. Has anyone else heard this? Thoughts?

Heard that Fidelity either bought or leased a building in Warwick, RI and return to office in Smithfield is January 2027. Some people have been told this...and others have not. Just curious what people are hearing.

The recent exterior update to the local branches feels like a downgrade. The original red brick was simple and traditional. The new grey repaint makes the buildings look washed out and sterile rather than modern. It is disappointing. Lifeless. Just like the company itself.

Interesting use... Exactly how many people are visiting downtown Des Moines?

So, did anyone else leave the employee forum this morning feeling utterly transformed? Because clearly management thinks a few PowerPoint slides and some forced enthusiasm are all it takes to convince us this “transformation” is the best thing since sliced bread. At least they finally admitted the culture is circling the drain—growth, I guess.

And that shiny new building they want to plop down in Scona? A pocket‑sized QP with all the fancy amenities. Because nothing says “we value you” like spending a fortune on a building instead of, you know… fixing the actual problems. Can’t wait to see what astronomical number they pull out of the hat this time.

So tired of cheap a$$ Macy's not replacing compressors

I heard there was more phases after the first one. Any truth to this and what buildings?

I don’t know if it is general lack of maintenance in HOU150 or a decline in “you see, you own it” reporting, butI’m seeing sinks that won’t drain, toilets that won’t flush, and a tolerance of broken things that would make Goodwill blush. What gives?

There is no new building in ES.

There is no amusement park in Glendale.

There is no water park in Nebraska.

ES is moving to Glendale and EA/MEGA/AG are moving/consolidating to Nebraska as a major cost cutting measure.

Ask Ynon about it at the Town Hall and watch him squirm, if the question doesn't get screened.

From 1963 to 2015 the Houston Petroleum club was located at the ExxonMobil Building. Now it is in the Total building. Sad.

Getting crammed up into a single floor, but at least we get to WFH until then!

The ICB building will be shut down. Anyone from st Louis or Charlotte know what they are doing with ECMO?

Are these buildings closing permanently and moving everything to Mexico?

Take down the Windstream sign on the daniels building in Greenville. Does anybody go in that office anymore?

140 West is closing down and going to 1095. 1095 is literally 1/5 the size of 140 west and has only one floor, how are they going to fit everyone. Is Leslie planning to bring us back to BR, especially since the shuttle runs 5 days a week now since the start of the year

Are they really closing it down or is that just a rumor?

NM did you see Rockwell is building their new location in New Berlin? Not Downtown and not close to the city. Why? Downtown is dead and only a fool would continue to build there. Add Rockwell to the long list that keeps moving out of the city as NM wants to move in.

Since the beginning of this week the signal has dropped to one or two bars. Is there something up with our Fem to cell repeaters?

I saw a sign saying at the front of the office that the campus with Teradata now houses Cohu, Teradata and Northrop Grumman. Looking at Google maps it looks like the building with the gym now belongs to Cohu? Is that correct? Did Teradata lose another building?

This is so stupid. And it’s only going to get worse when they start upgrading the elevators, which involves shutting down capacity during upgrades. Based on the window progress at 1500 I think we are going to be living in this nightmare until 2028 at least.

They really need to close this building.

What a joke. They have a library where they want you to go and read books. And makeup lamps on the desks to don your lipstick.

Folks, so many posts referring to forcing a badge out. This can not be done in the US in any state as it violates every states fire codes. You can NOT force a badge swipe to grant an exit from a building. It's simply not allowed as a safety item ANYWHERE.

Given the extremely low temperatures outside, we are aware that the Store Support Center is cooler than normal, and temperatures are fluctuating across the building.

As you know, we have been working with NSG and Corporate Real Estate to update and improve our building's heating and cooling systems; however, these repairs are still underway and will take time to complete.

As you prepare for today, we recommend the following to help maintain your personal comfort:

Dress in layers to adapt to fluctuating temperatures.

If your workspace is located on the south side of the building, keeping window blinds closed can greatly assist in temperature control.

Cover vents along the windows.

Leverage Archibus to reserve workspace on the 13th floor, if needed.

Avoid using space heaters as this can lead to tripped breakers and power outages.

We are aware that the impact is being felt more significantly on some floors. Talk to your leader about exercising flexibility, if needed, based on your floor's conditions.

Thank vou for vour understanding and cooperation

Follow up from my post yesterday. Today my team was destroyed, as were many.

Years of building, growth, and success right down the drain. Top performing reps sent to unemployment right before Christmas. Meanwhile, mo--ns and failures keep their jobs. It's not about layoffs, it's about making horrible decisions and then executing poorly on those decisions.

This company has become an utter disappointment. We immediately bankrupted our culture, integrity, and brand as soon as we win the war. T-Mobile is showing their true colors, and it's as disgusting as it is disappointing.

If any higher ups that are still employed and have access to Dan, just a thought. I was curious, I heard 50% of building engineers were let go in new England. 1 person to cover a entire state. I hope you realize we are heading into winter. A lot of the sites are remote. Expectations are they can get to a site within two hours. Please try and understand the logistics of this and thier jobs and everything that is involved in the regular maintenance, the preventive maintenance and say nothing about the emergencies. Getting there how far is the nearest help? What happens when a site goes down? What happens if multiple sites are on generator and they are required to be on-site? Also if they store fuel in large amounts ad most do there had to me a person certified in proper fuel and tank issues on site! They are also required to be on call 24/7 and within 2 hours from site. Please explain how that is going to work? Also what happens when someone needs PTO? is sick? Death in the family? Just curious what is the average cost for a sire going black? This is not sustainable! It will end badly, trust me! If you think you are going to hire outside contractor you definitely should not be in the position you are in.They bring nothing to the table and good luck finding anyone that is reliable. This also will end badly. Keep the union ,make it stronger. I have never seen a more dedicated group then I have seen in the Verizon union building engineers. They are fully dedicated and loyal to a fault and will do anything that is asked of them. You have tried Cushman and Wakefied has been a disaster to say the least! Building engineers are responsible for multiple properties and are responsible for facilities worth millions of dollars and keep them functional and keeping the customers and thier equipment running and thier services up.You really need to rethink this! Warned in advance.

Whoever is in charge of the soap… can you stop watering it down please?

Seems weird that with people getting laid off, they open up a brand new facility with hardly anyone there. Mostly Fraud and AML from what I've heard

Why the extra security in the buildings on campus today?

I keep seeing post about RIF's / layoffs / etc, but wondering if those have more to do with local field maintenance technicians and not Building Automation staff.

I haven't heard of anyone in the few hundred people I deal with on a monthly basis getting let go. I'm not based out of any major hub.

You all do realize most work from home people actually would go to an office if Verizon brought back our offices. I would but Verizon go rid of our building along with 20-30 other buildings over the last 10 years. My team is all over the country and no one lives in the same area... so going into a building to work virtually would be d-mb. Also, what is Verizon going to do fire all 12 people and keep 1 thats in a hub then backfill the 11 others or the 8 that are WFH? Its not as easy as you all think, getting rid of WFH or everything into a building would destroy workloads and knowledgeable assets already in place. Going into to an office to work with people not in the same office is d-mb, I thought all the climate change VZ activists would be protesting for protecting against my trucks carbon emissions going to an office anyways.

Credit goes to @c4+1k93pa0qm.

Does anyone know when these cowards are going to get around to telling the folks in Pennington that the building is closing and that they will need to report to a different location if they want to keep their job?

Key point missing is where this building at Strathcona will be given there’s really no excess office space.

You will likely be in a blastproof building (like the current office building) and subjecting yourself to questionable air quality for the remainder of your working life.

Also refinery work cultures are a beast of their own, many in bad ways.

This the life you really want… in Edmonton?
