Hans and our leadership team should look at themselves in the mirror

Anyone hearing anything?

ATT and Blackrock are entering into a Joint Venture to start Gigapower which will be a wholesale fiber provider, see link. https://about.att.com/story/2022/gigapower-joint-venture.html The issue is that Hans Vestburg is on the board of Directors of... — read more 

I find it surprising that VZ hasn’t considered closing all of their corporate offices by now. Talk about huge savings! Why lay off people when you can shut down offices? That would save big money on building debt/rent, property taxes, electricity... — read more 

I've made the decision to leave. I'm glad I did - Verizon has turned into a joke. I'm so tired of nepotism, cronyism, bullsh-t politics, and watching the Titanic sinking as those who run it do nothing to help. Anybody with half a brain knows it's... — read more 

Hans is the Chair of the WEF Edison Alliance which the goal is to create digital inclusion for all. Seems like it would require a decent amount of his time as the chair. How does he have time to lead VZ at the same time? Or this is something that... — read more 

I don't know if our leadership has a vision for this company, but if they do, then that vision has not been well communicated to us. Personally, I think that they have completely lost control and that they mostly rely on luck, and not on... — read more 

For the October layoffs, how much severance was offered? Was it 3 weeks for every year still?

T-Mobile data breach: you could claim up to $25K — but you'll need to do it soon https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/t-mobile-data-breach-you-could-claim-up-to-dollar25k-but-youll-need-to-do-it-soon? More than 76 million T-Mobile customers... — read more 

Anyone else notice that their January and February lump sum numbers dropped this month? I expect drops in the 3rd month projection but I've never seen month 1 or 2 estimates change

More debt, more layoffs, more heads buried in sand

We all know you're just trying to rub it in that you didn't get RIF'd. STOP.

Just curious

For those RIF'd in Oct. today is your last day. For those who wanted to leave, good luck in your future endeavors, I'm sure you'll do great. For those who didn't want to be RIF'd but were unfortunate enough to be too old, make too much money, or... — read more

I am coming up on my 29th year and continue to see the decline in VZ. I am in Network and like the operation side of Southwest upper management will not listen to their engineers. They are more interested in the financial side and until they spend... — read more 

For those that today is your final day at Verizon, we who left before you thank you for your work efforts. Life exists after and you will rally to a great career elsewhere

Mobile carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, could temporarily avoid paying $200 million in privacy penalties because of the Federal Communications Commission’s partisan split, according to a report from The Wall Street... — read more 

I just overheard our director on a conference call talking about Verizon to sell off non fiber areas that only provide DSL. I know they tried this before here in Pennsylvania but Frontier wanted the whole state not just certain areas. I just heard... — read more 

There are many issues that have contributed over the years to the significant decline of Verizon and its stock: poor leadership, poor leadership decisions and self serving consultants that we pay millions to for their strategic guidance and... — read more 

I'm determined to leave Verizon in 2023, whether I have lined up a new job or not. I've been unhappy here for too long but I've also been a major coward to do anything about it. Well, not anymore. I've seen too many of my coworkers walk away and... — read more 

Mandatory day to work unless you put in for the entire week off.

In my specific case, the manager assigns me too many tasks that are pointless. Not only does it put me in an uncomfortable and frustrating situation, but then others also think that I'm not doing real work, that is, that I'm just pretending to... — read more 

Investors saw a lot of red in 2022. But a company known for its magenta logo was a stock market darling this year. Shares of T-Mobile (TMUS) rose about 20% in 2022, even as rivals AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) tumbled. Ma Bell was down about 2% while... — read more 

Then prepare for more cuts, more lost benefits, and more work for the same pay. Verizon: the company that keeps on giving!

Altice = Inferior product Inferior management Not even a dividend for owning the stock. It's a dog with fleas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This post will most likely fall on ALL kinds of deaf ears as that is what happens within this company. I have been removed from this company since roughly June and have thought MANY times to email my old director and I havent. I know it would do... — read more 

I’m trying to see what numbers are now to see if we can see an average percentage cut rate. I would like to know how many US and then total employees on shore and off… It seems like upper management is pretty much cutting 10% every year at least… — read more 

Why retail is failing isn't due to Verizon as a whole but how we staff our stores. We have GM's that would rather look good than care for their employees. We still have tenure Employees that still use their work devices as personal and I know for... — read more 

Vz Board of Directors are current CEOs (Starbucks and PayPal) so how do they have time to focus on vz. The others looks like retirees from Aetna and Procter n Gamble. Only one has telecom experience from Vodafone in Europe and he was just added. ... — read more 

Just looked at the Board bios for both companies. No wonder VZ is getting its head handed to them. TMob is being run by telco professionals, while VZ is getting run by former and current restaurant chain CEOs and consultants.

A huge cost for vz in the vbg group is the 3rd party last mile providers. Vz doesn’t seem to negotiate great rates with comcast, tw, att etc. . we lose customers because our prices are too high. When the circuit goes down it’s usually due a last... — read more 

The grapevine is buzzing about another round of layoffs coming in January. Heard anything?

Will the losing streak continue?

Anyone else notice management acting like cult leaders telling you they "love you" and that "we're all a family"? I've heard multiple managers say this to reps. What gives? Are they being told from higher ups to tell us peons they love us so we... — read more
