So, is there a hiring freeze

Company wide, just Boston?
Can anyone confirm or is this just heresay and rumors?
Of so, why even move forward with interesting internal applicants?
Doesn’t that just alienate loyal employees?
Personality, I think all the bad policies of outsourcing, visas, dei, etc is coming home to roost.
You get what you vote for and I don’t see this fixing anytime soon.
I think this is it for what we know and expect in corporate America.
We’re all just cogs in an 8 billion human machine.

CF Now Mandating Copilot

Well, it’s official. We are mandating the use of MS Copilot, at least in my department. This at a time when operating costs remain at a deficit, morale is low, rumors abound, people are losing livelihoods, and revenue is circling the drain. As one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies, I am at a loss as to why we are being forced to adapt to an artificial source of truth (with no guardrails) all to improve efficiency. Is this push in alignment with VSP and other forms of reductions in force to “save money?” What’s next, a return to office mandate to weed even more people out (like those who cannot afford higher transportation or dependent care costs)? I thought CF cared about the communities it serves. Is it blind to the impact of AI on power grids, water resources, and infrastructure? Regardless of the answer, if I want to keep my job, I guess I’ll have to fall in line.

Trouble on the Verizon... I mean horizon.

Fed-up Verizon customers are rooting for an extreme fix
"Verizon denied that SpaceX is buying it, but plenty of subscribers wish it were true."

https://www.phonearena.com/news/verizon-spacex-sale_id182603

Verizon might still be the top carrier by customer count, but that doesn't mean it's smooth sailing. A string of price hikes has caused hard feelings, and while the company is trying to smooth things over with customer-friendly offerings, it remains the most expensive provider in the US. Not everyone agrees the service justifies its premium price tag. This friction may be attracting takeover bids.

A change of hands was said to be on the horizon

Recently, rumors swirled that CEO Dan Schulman was getting the house in order for a sale to SpaceX. While Verizon rejected the report, and SpaceX has since announced plans to build its own network, many of our readers were onboard with the idea.

The majority wants Verizon sold

We polled our readers on who should buy Verizon and got 3,114 responses. While 1,239 (or 38%) want things to stay as they are, an almost equal number of readers, 1,156 (37%), want SpaceX to pull the trigger.

Another 719 readers (23%) would like it to be offloaded to someone other than AT&T, T-Mobile, and SpaceX.

Does Verizon need someone to come and save it?

Although Verizon appears to be clawing its way back, its revenue plunged 0.7% year-over-year in Q2 2026. Under Schulman, the company has been coasting on harsh cutbacks. However, slashing costs was the easy part, and now the company has to prove it has a real growth strategy.

While the Simplicity plan, Verizon Loyalty, Verizon Shine, waived activation and upgrade fees, and tax-inclusive pricing are a step in the right direction, more needs to be done. Verizon is on it, though, with chief product and revenue officer Nancy Clark telling Fierce Network that the company has more surprises in store to "break the industry mold and put customers first."

"As Dan has said, we are on a journey to become truly a customer-first organization, and we do have a series of things that we will be launching that really look to break the industry mold and put customers first." Nancy Clark, Verizon's chief product and revenue officer, August 2026

Playing it safe

Verizon has managed to steady the ship without igniting a price war, which suggests the company wants to play it safe. While Q2 performance was impressive, BNP Paribas senior analyst Sam McHugh notes that the company isn't investing enough in network infrastructure. Throw in intense competition and slowing industry growth, and it's easy to see why the buyout rumor popped up. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

Jokes vs. Harmful Rumors

Whoever runs this page just feeds into the craven fear people seem to love. Most people here sit at their computer and wring their hands itching and panting for the next bit of bad news to show up. Meanwhile, any jokes (e.g., the fake Kate post) get taken down. You all drool with fever waiting for "they got rid of everyone at the Broomfield office, it's empty" and "service delivery is getting rid of anyone with more than two children." Are you sad for yourselves? I know I would be if I lived for misery, real or imagined.

union EISP to No EISP odd big package to no package

How did we go from a huge enhancement EISP package to buyout anyone and everyone to no EISP yet delayed,And when it’s comes it’s going to be a regular EISP offered to only a handful of inside clerk positions.Did I miss something!!I know rumors are rumors but this was more then that .Now it’s being toned down.I mean did the company not hire enough replacements fast enough or did they just not plan for the loss of an entire older work force .Just very odd don’t matter I suppose we have a 4 year extension but what changed in few months

I'm excited about our future.. lol

Here’s a cleaned-up, more coherent version that keeps your original tone and meaning:

Rumors started about 60 days ago of a possible CEO change, a bonus for employees after a record quarter, and Mondays working from home.

I’d been hearing the CEO-replacement rumor for a while and was hoping it would happen, but it looks like a big fat no. So when I first heard whispers about a bonus, my reaction was “Oh he-l no… HE-L no.” I was pleasantly surprised when that one turned out to be true.

As for Mondays working from home—I’d be surprised if it actually happens, but I don’t think it’s completely off the table. The company is global and we aren’t needed in the office every day, so it could be a real work-life-balance perk. The whispers about it are growing the same way the bonus rumors did, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Still, I’m disappointed the CEO is still here.

(And glad you can use an AI agent after having an IT person come in and type it in for you.)
