I was hoping to hear some info today on the negotiations about a possible extension. Does anyone know any info. Maybe a package for the union side?

Alfonso’s transition indicates more cuts, especially VCG?
Why I feel so unnerve with Sampath’s leave, plus what Dan said at the earnings call :(
Verizon's culture punishes dedication
Witnessing layoffs at Verizon has been a masterclass in how to destroy morale. They decided to kick out the very people who bled for the company. Now, they have us all running for the exit. All I want is to get out and find a job where dedication... — read more
‘‘Twas to leave or not leave that is the question to stay or not to stay that is the question
So assuming there will be an Eisp I am very conflicted as to take it and go or not.They may not offer again our lump may not be an option so many unkowns
Global & national context
I thought Dan talking about global and national madness before getting to VZ was quite clever. Puts things in context. VZ madness didn’t feel too bad and kinda expected after hearing all that. Little manipulative but I guess visionaries have to be... — read more
You are the CEO of the company and can't talk for 5 more minutes?
Spend 30 minutes on AI, but you "have 5 minutes to get through 8 things". You literally just acted like running out of time is a valid excuse to not share the "Dan Plan". What a joke.
All Hands Meeting
If we hadn’t wasted so much time talking about AI, he could have actually covered the important points he ran out of time for. And another thing , why are people in here celebrating someone getting fired? Sampath! That says a lot about your... — read more

Stop talking about AI
AI this , Ai that!!! What’s the plan ?????
Is it Real? I was suppose to be in Verizon all hands
Why is he beating around the bush and wasting time?
Davos? Davos?
We ain’t got time for Davos, we are trying to not get ran over in the streets and put groceries on the table. Get real with your people you (ur)slurper.

What are your predictions or hopes that Dan will address?
R2 Layoff Chatter Is Fake News
Real talk: I don’t think Verizon is dropping another layoff bo-b. They already swung the axe HARD, 13,000+ gone late last year. That was the ugly, one-and-done purge to stop the bleeding and buy themselves breathing room. New CEO basically said... — read more
AD/D/Sr D/AVP Roles
What’s the difference between each role? Some people are good, but the many people are creating friction at each step… satisfying egos and insecurities.
Our micromanager is harassing our team
This micromanager is harassing our team by asking passive aggressive questions regarding which day in the week are we going to be in the office. Funny thing is the he won’t even talk to us in the office much and stays on his useless calls. Every... — read more

I really want to get done some right things for the customers but I get so frustrated when all these middle managers are too incompetent to take a decision and too power to block your progress. I am mentally quitting unless Dan present some radical... — read more
