I spent the last few years allowing VZ to help me finish paying for my BS degree, my CCNP, and my CCIE. Just for giggles I created a Linkedin account and immediately began being poached for jobs...all of which are offering me 2x my c-appy salary at... — read more 

Ruin Thanksgiving in four words:

They are closing a store in my district and offering the reps a severance package or to be absorbed into other stores. If nobody takes the severance then my store will be way over staffed. How the heck is that a feasible plan! They must have a road... — read more

Network Assurance, received email this morning. 15 years. What a bummer : (

Got the letter explaining pension ban increases and what you get if your offered a EISP. When they send this out it is usually followed by an offer. I say we will get one by April.

Not sure what y’all are so worried about. My guess is, if you requested it, you’re out. To deny some who want out, while greatly enriching others by granting that request, would seem a treatment that’s disparaging in manner. IMHO, based on nothing in... — read more

Has anyone been told by a strong HR, Director, or VP source on if all who applied will get it or not? I’m VCM and My org is in the dark and haven’t heard any rumors yet.
