Well I spent 30 minutes chatting with a rep to get my $20 credit for the outage. Rep was very nice. Can someone ask Skiadis why this is not automated. Can someone share some AI with him.

As a frontier employee coming in...

For those laid off 12/19, do we get a bonus next month?
And, if so, will we get a pay sheet showing the amount a week before?
Locking phone for a year!
Verizon is so desperate to stop the bleeding they got their buddies at the FCC (many Former executives of Verizon now work for the FCC) to agree to force people to stay by locking their phones for a year. Unreal.
Sick of all the Dan hate!
Seriously, the dude has only been in charge for 3 months and the peanut gallery is already taking pot shots at him - from the way he sips coffee to way he presents himself at Davos. Like seriously, the only thing that should matter is what the... — read more
More layoffs in feb march
I hearing that there will be at least 8000 -12,000 more layoffs coming.How is this possible who will be left .I m really unsure where Verizon goes from here besides at some point a restructuring
We're the laughing stock
After watching the Davos short someone posted here, I am genuinely embarrassed for how Dan represented our company and babbled AGAIN about the same thing he's been babbling since Sept. How does he have absolutely NOTHING else to say? His appearance... — read more
Incompetent Management
Wireless used to be a great company and I loved working there until the Vodafone buyout. Once the telecom executives got a hold of wireless they started the RIF/outsource/off-shore march. The Telecom side hasn't been profitable for decades so you... — read more

Retiree benefits
If you were laid off in this last round and had 36 or more years does Verizon give u any kind of discounts for medical after the severance period runs out
So many fake job postings
I'm getting so tired of this. As if it wasn't hard enough finding a job as it is, we have to waste time on all these placeholders or whatever they are.
Get ready for the Feb 5 announcements
That all hands? That will be where Dan tells us we did amazing, what a strong quarter we are the worst carrier and everything needs to change first, we need to cut cost in order to improve efficiency and to better serve and delight our... — read more
Dan at Davos, OMG!
OMG Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LDHwyzkRZQo
And yet, somehow, all the worst people managed to stay on my team
We lost people who were each worth two. Meanwhile, there are a couple of remaining cases who need two people each just to cover for their incompetence. Where’s the logic in that?
Which levels get variable comp?
Thank you
Why is Hans still posting on instagram?
Do we really need to see him flown to these fancy events as “special advisor” on the company’s dime?

When will STI % be announced?
Last year, Sam sent out the STI email on Jan 24. I assume Dan is pushing out the announcement though. Will STI payout still be in mid-Feb as it has been every year?
The burnout is complete
The non-stop layoff drama has led to my complete emotional detachment. I don't want to lose my job, but I also can't bring myself to feel the stress I used to. It's not normal, but it's a strange kind of relief.
Hoping for a quiet week
Is there any possibility we get through the next week without bad news? I'm just hoping for a single, normal week without any stressful announcements or layoffs.
Our Board. When will the be accountable.
Our Board are directly culpable for the situation we now find ourselves in. It is how corporate governance works. My question: when will the market, activists etc hold them accountable and force change. It needs to happen.
