Checked people I know in CO, FL, TX, NY, NJ
I don't work in a retail store, I don't work in a union position. I know the second that I post this, someone will post that they, plus a number of others, were just rif'd so the 10% or 20% they've guaranteed is REAL, yet for some reason they're... — read more

What departments got hit in Virginia?
Why is this not on CNBC or any of the News Outlets???
How does Verizon manage to keep these layoffs quite? You would think it would at least spread on social media and the major news outlets would pick up on this.

Severance offered to those in call centers?
The call centers just offered a severance package and many people on the east coast took it. Can anybody please confirm if this is true? Does this mean they didn't actually decide who gets laid off and are letting us choose if we want to leave or... — read more

Layoff might be a good thing
You know, I'm at the point where I don't even care anymore. I realized I was over-stressing before asking myself why? I work a job where they give me goals realistically impossible to achieve in allotted time. New overtime policy just made everything... — read more
