Verizon reviews

They really don't care about employees and hire managers that don't know anything about what thier people do. Most of mid-level management have no clue what it is they are looking at. This is fina as long as the work force knows what to do. What will this company do in 10 years when the Jr management starts looking to these managers for guidance and thay have no clue what it is the technicians do?

I first began with GTE, which was always family-focused, friendly, and a lot of fun. When the merger with BellAtlantic created Verizon, things began to change. Rediculous cost-cutting measures were put in place - removing the third light bulb in overhead lights, no more coffee, building cleaning and maintenance drastically reduced - all in a misplaced effort to save a few dollars. In the end, they gained longer coffee breaks, unhappy enployees working in the dark, and dirty buildings. Then there are the constant layoffs. Every quarter employees look forward to the next cut and the lucky ones who stay behond get to work more for the same amount. Then we get to hear the illustruous senior management, enjoying their multimillion dollar incomes, tell us it isn't over - more layoffs to come.
