Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

@ab Some truth here but not really. 3 retired in my GWC in the past 3 months and one going in this buy out.
People are still retiring if have finances in order.

@ac You miss the potato and that suit pants thing with the IQ of a potato don’t cha?

@a7 VZ MD too.

Philadelphia locals need to just be completely surplussed

@a8 the union didn’t sell anybody out and the company didn’t sc--w you over either. This is a nationwide problem. Don’t worry though, Mango Donnie is coming out with a healthcare solution any day now, and has been for the past 10 years! There are a hand full of politicians that are actually concerned about this problem and trying to represent you instead of the big insurance companies, to figure which ones just turn on Fox News and see which politicians they call co-mies.

Probably because no bridge to Medicare in the offer. This company is going to have a bunch of 64 and a half year olds with their employment guaranteed for four more years.

What happens when a buyout is offered and no takers. Offers usually come back around to a wider offering of areas they may not want to get rid of. If those people take it. Then those positions are filled by forced realignment by the areas that didn’t take it in the first place. It’s been this way since the days of GTE and Bell Atlantic.

@a7 No offers in NY. I would think that a few would go if offered here but like in DC the most would stay. Union sold them out with health insurance increases.

Where is your area? What state and Frontier or Verizon?
