Verizon announced it is shutting down BlueJeans entirely.
I want to know who slams 1000 BI in a month...
And gets away with it!? No investigation? Just look the other way? Sounds like we're going back to Verizon 1.0 Guarantee 0 utilization, but these fat cats in B2B are making a fortune creating fake growth. Meanwhile the company is tryingo squeeze... — read more
"I think it's going nowhere" ~Jim Cramer
When asked about Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) , he said, "The fact is is that we don't want to buy a stock just for its dividend, but if it's not growing. Verizon to me has lost its way, I don't think its management is very crisp anymore... — read more
St Louis Mo
Our stores have only gotten worse since new DM started. Previous was okay. This one has no clue. Union vote time.
New Perk Idea!
$10 a month lets you talk to a corporate employee that knows how to do their job! I’m sick of these SPC vendor reps that have no training or any clue how to do their job!
Individual comp
August and still no announcement. It’s coming, but when?
VZ on the up and up!!
I bet there’s going to be a huge turnaround!
Retail store shoplifting and employee theft
Has anyone else noticed an increase in shoplifting within the stores and employee theft over the last few years ? I was on a security call recently and SEVERAL stores are missing thousands of dollars in accessories and phones. I guess I’m able to... — read more
Downvotes
Why is nearly every comments in Vz threads massively down voted? Other boards aren't this way.
Hearing reports that Hans is out
Can anyone confirm????
Latest employee counts
114,200 ending 6-30-23. Down from 115,500 3-31-23 and from 117,100 at the beginning of the year.
Never good enough
I've had enough of this place. I don't think of myself as the best employee ever, but I'm tired of my boss suddenly not liking anything I do. Has anyone else experienced this? I've sent a bunch of applications to other places and hope I get lucky. — read more
Sick and Tired
We are all just so sick and tired of the district manager who sends passive aggressive messages in slack, he thinks that all of his management team is going to be like him and run around with their heads cut off because you need to “hit numbers”. ... — read more
Individual commission is coming back 3rd QTR
But will it will be VZ 2.0 style like these impossible kickers? Too high to matter, too hard to achieve and too unrealistic to motivate? Reward your front line people that make the company successful like every other GD company does for po-p sake!... — read more
Verizon needs ... Nokia
Verizon needs Nokia else it will continue losing customer with Samsung Network. Even though Hans was ex-Ericsson CEO (and probably doesn't like the Nokia competition in his previous job), he needs to do what's right for the Verizon and that's to... — read more
Stock Price at it's lowest point in the past 5 years
Great job Hans... our stock has hit an all new low....$34.01. Many hardworking employees are investing in our 401k's and what about our stock together awards.... down the drain. It's time for a major overhaul.
I heard rumors today of Verizon Layoffs
The rumor goes something like; V trying to get their workforce somewhere under the 100,000 mark. That would mean 18k-ish jobs. Someone please tell me I'm wrong, and that this is all just a big misunderstanding.
Actors strike?
Think about it. Actors who make millions of dollars in salary and do little to no labor have a union to represent them. Is there any wireless employee that still thinks they don’t need a union after… Layoffs, compensation changes, hour changes... — read more
Will the drop in stock price trigger more layoffs
With the stock price dropping, will this prompt more layoffs. The rest of the market appears to be recovering very concerned about an impact to those of us left
The damage they caused
I'm leaving soon because I no longer have any hopes that things could get better here. It's difficult to convey the extent of the damage the current leadership has done to Verizon. I'm not even sure if that damage is repairable anymore. Thoughts?
Stress and frustration
Is there ever going to be a time when working here is going to be less stressful and less frustrating?
Store hours changing
Any one else?
My Plan Will Only Lead To Even More Layoffs
My Plan is the biggest failure ever of Verizon. So called leadership's propaganda and denials of its failure are simply continuations of the lousiest leadership in the wireless service industry. All anybody has to do is simply log on to My Verizon... — read more
MyPlan
My plan has got to be the biggest cash grab I've seen yet from this company. Along with the perks, plus set up and go. Get written up if nobody buys the sh-t, even though their idea is horrible. Who goes to a phone store to buy streaming... — read more
It’s all ok.

Topics regarding layoffs at Verizon.
11 Billion
A dividend that costs the company 11 billion a year, seems like a nice place to make some adjustments when you are cutting CS roles all across the board in the guise of cost savings.
When your subconscious finally catches up with your conscious
Well V Teamers, I think it finally clicked for me today. I have been talking sm--k about vzw on this board, other boards and to friends/family for about a year. Yet I was still going above and beyond while working and actively sending feedback on... — read more
Severance $5000 first payment date?
Does anyone know when we will receive our first $2500 payment for accepting severance? The litterateur doesn't make it very clear and doesn't give a specific date.
BS
This chat room is suppose to be about layoffs. Nothing else, and somehow we have adults who comment on here like teenagers with BS story’s that hold no value. We know vz sucks, we know they’ve been making bad decisions for the past few years. We... — read more
Loosing customers
The quality of service has become a secondary matter to our leadership. Is it just my feeling or are we rapidly losing customers while the leadership is almost completely indifferent to it? I wish someone would convince me that I am wrong.
They don't care
I think that this company never cared about the opinion of its employees nor their complaints. So why do you think it will ever be different in the future? No, they don't listen to our criticisms at all, but they make good use of the fact that... — read more
Service and Support Operations All Hands 5/27 at 10am
Anyone have any insight into the topics for the meeting in the morning? I know it’s go over what was discussed at the higher leadership meeting that happened in Boston at the end of last week but does anyone have a heads up?
You have been trained to replace yourself.
As smartlinks were incorporated into your metrics, it was in order to replace you, the worker. As you submitted ideas to simplify processes, those ideas were incorporated to implement SPC functionalities and replace you, the worker. Stop it. The... — read more
I'm once again asking
you to lay me off. /end bernie meme
This place is a huge disappointment
I don't think I'm the only one who thinks that coming here is one of their biggest mistakes....
If this is it ...
Good luck everyone. If this is it, I know things will work out. I've worked at three call centers. I enjoyed my time. I looked forward to it all and never let people on the phone get to me. Even the pot lucks and constant food was great. I remember... — read more
