Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

VZB GNT is DEAD, and the union won't help you

Your management can't help you, all your work has been taken from you, and given to vendors to create the illusion there is no work at all. Then they will either rebadge you, sell you, or put what is left into VZT.

By that time, there will be so few left you'll be happy just to have a job. When you tell your union rep what is going on they'll look at you with mild disdain or boredom and mutter the magic words "Well, they can do that".

The union has never spent a dime defending VZB techs or work... and they never will.

@k8 make sure you meet your boss' metrics so he gets a fat bonus, while u get nothing.

THAT'S the VZB credo.

@OP Don't forget the part where the VZB ADs knowingly force techs to populate their timesheets with 8 hours of work so they look productive. Even though they took away our work... Thats called a violation of the code of conduct in my book. Is Verizon ethics group on here??? All of you VZB ADs that have great numbers and cooking the books.

@bw it’s very funny when someone uses that word when in the same sentence saying something very, very d-mb and un informed. Yes some VZB is union but the majority is not. This is half the problem with Verizon’s employees. Nobody knows what anybody else does.

@bw I’d wager that VzB has more non union techs than union, and plenty of contractors doing the 100x the work of union guys.

@aa “collecting your dues for the next 4 years”….is that because MAYBE they got a 4 year contract extension done? Lol
This is a forum about layoffs, and there has been 16k reported (and more to come) yet you are complaining about a contract extension which also has an obligation to hire more.

Ignorance is bliss

@OP well the union helped you out of an EISP, They only care about collecting your dues for the next 4 years. Keep working brothers and sisters.
