I asked our newest hire why she joined despite so much bad press surrounding Verizon and cuts. She said the recruiter was really persuasive and she needed a job fast. Not even a month in, she's already updating her LinkedIn. I'd like to laugh, but... — read more
He need to fire talent management
They clearly don’t know how to incentivize people. We demand top performers, pay the mediocre salaries, and turn them into the laziest versions of themselves. If the compensation team had competent people, this place would have been Amazon. Instead... — read more
Why the Fios is the no incentive to perform here?
The laziest bro and the highest performer make the same and have the same career progression. This is a radical thought, Incentivize people to not su-k
Business Transformation getting Executives fired

B2B mangers are going to target people who need help all the time
An email was sent out last night that went to a lot of B2B Managers are to target reps who “lean” on them to much. This is a grossly obvious tactic to weed out people who ask for help a lot. We also find it odd that the manager that sent it out is... — read more
Are you still here because you have to or because you want to?
Are you staying @VZ because you believe in the company or because you don't have another option?
Do ADs decide who gets RIFed
I’ve seen high performers get RIFed…if they’ve been on their ADs sh-t list. Does that imply AD had a say in the job loss? Serious feedback please no trolling

Anyone Else Interested in Voting Out the Union?
What if Verizon rewarded performance instead of seniority? A non-union workplace could allow merit-based raises, faster promotions, and stronger one-on-one relationships between employees and management. High performers should have the opportunity to... — read more

Lake Mary to close in 2028? Is this true?
Potentially cutting the lease early and relocating because salaries have inflated there and everyone’s demoralized, etc. Is this true? How would moving the whole operation again help with morale?
Wfh is good for avoiding layoffs, just have your story straight
Just seem busy whenever a manager calls. Otherwise put your feet up and watch YouTube and relax. The work isn’t that hard here. It’s still good, just don’t be visible and they’ll forget about you
I keep wondering when this cycle of layoffs will finally stop
They can't keep cutting forever, eventually there won't be anyone left to cut. But even if it does stop, is there any reason to stay? Whoever's left will just be expected to do the all the work of everyone who was cut, for the same pay. I don't see a... — read more

AI not so safe ?
Two OpenAI artificial intelligence models autonomously went rogue, broke out of their secure testing environment, and hacked into the systems of rival platform Hugging Face in an unprecedented cybersecurity incident. What do think of that Dan ?

CXO org
Just my opinion, but after the last organizational shake-up, I wouldn’t be surprised if history repeats itself. One question I keep coming back to: A.C. championed the “ways of working” in the previous CXO organization. Has anyone objectively looked... — read more
Executives are psychopaths
Matt Carr had an all hands yesterday. He said we need to move on from the laid off employees, was laughing the entire time and came off as an arrogant fat man. Not to mention, was complimenting women for looking good, super weird. There was a tornado... — read more

RTO days are pointless
What is the purpose of the 3rd office day? He-l, hardly anybody does it and lots of other teams barely come in for the required 2 days & are still employed. They come in for a few hours, swipe badge and are out.
Note to Dan
You should consider the Finance Team in Basking Ridge as another area for future headcount reductions. There are too many employees with titles that make no sense. A few managers and lots of analysts are only needed to get the work done.
Frontier and Ireland
I think some have asked and didn't get answers but I just heard on an all hands call today that some at Frontier as well as some from Ireland were included the last round of cuts. I didn't work with them personally but a lot of people on the call did... — read more

Employee discount for RIFed employees
Employees that were laid off in Nov 2025 were able to keep their employee discount on phone plans for 1 year. Why isn’t the same being offered to employees let go on 07/16?
Leave_Management
Employee repeatedly took leave on Mondays and Fridays, coming to office only 3 days a week. Issue was reported to HR instead of manager. HR involvement was good.
Avoid Future Layoffs
When a corporation keeps missing the mark, the groups responsible for independent challenge should not escape scrutiny. Their job is not to protect relationships, preserve invitations, or stay in the good graces of senior executives. Their job is to... — read more
Wall Street analysts
