They'll chew you uo & spit you out when they're done with you without caring one iota! - Anonymous employee Verizon Employee Review

Upper Management gorges themselves slary & perks-wise on the backs & dwindling benefits of the true workers. Middle-Management is afraid to tell Upper Management that the "Emperor has no clothes", for fear of losing their job. A revolving Upper- and Middle-Management door, where beneficiaries of who you know & the Peter Principal stay in a job function just long enough to screw things up but not take the fall for it. After about 3 management "re-organizations", everyone is basically back to where they started, nothing productive has been accomplished, and tons more money has been wasted without anyone taking the blame. Cheap, foreign contractors who can't think their way out of a paper bag are brought on-board to replace experienced (but more expensive) long-term talent, who are dropping like flies every Reduction-in-Force (RIF), which averages 2 or more times a year, to the point where they have long-ago gotten rid of all the deadwood at the lower-management level (but not at middle- and upper-) and are now cutting all the top talent & experience. That just means more worries about being on the next RIF list & tons more work for those unfortunates who remain behind. Upper-/middle-management could care less about loyalty, hard work, etc of their employees. It's all just a numbers game. Verizon will no doubt soon sell off its landline business to some poor, unsuspecting spin-off & get rid of all native workers that remain. Don't apply there unless you want to commit career and quality-of-life suicide.
