Just remember the Pulse Survey is not Anonymous and will be used against you!

No news from the NRB side, assuming it’s safe now?

Did anyone from business fraud in NC heard anything? So far it’s been quiet.

Been coming to this place for 5 years .

Drop any info here. Good luck

Or if you know somebody who's affected, post their age, please. I want to see if my suspicions are correct.

Say if you are VCG, VBG, GNT or VGS

Sending prayers to our entire Verizon family.

I posted here about how a TC vape pen was planted on company grounds. I reported discriminatory harassment, which ended up with what I'm certain was retaliation. I criticized this heavily, and believe some former/current C-suite have escalated things. It has been posted on this forum about a 2013 spying scandal. You will find that certain technologies were still being used according to their 2020 financial reports listing Fiserv as a client. These are difficult people that will do whatever they want to make your life hll in NJ.

This has been the worst week yet shorting me nearly an hour each day. Why can’t these mo--ns get this right?

Glad to see they clearly took the 7,000+ comments seriously. They did not address any of the massive concerns employees voiced, put here, and on Glassdoor. What a joke!

No words

Thank you for continuing to share the college experiences of your wealthy, well connected children. It is incredibly relatable content.

Does the constant begging for AI ideas, use cases, prompts, and more drove anyone else crazy?

As someone who is very proficient with AI, (through taking classes, learning it, using it, etc,) I’m not sharing my knowledge/competence/learnings with the company at large outside what is required by my position. Why should they benefit from a knowledge base I built on my own time?

For new folks here, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread...

You can use it to see what posts had recent replies.

That's it, that's my post.

Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all....

Verizon employees have been advised (through management) not to speak on any social media or face being pulled into 'review meetings.' We're not even allowed to post group outings, literally nothing.

What in the world is going on?

in R this week. Tell mgmt how much you hate Viya. Meetup workshops for directors and VPs on how to write vague linkedin posts about wanting a new challenge. Everyone else can attend a session about applying for unemployment during the holidays.

You know, telling us way in advance then going completely silent, allowing us to speculate, panic, fear, then eventually fight about it. There's a LOT of psychology happening amongst us in these boards. That's not my field of education or expertise, but it's fascinating to me, all the same.

Then again, it could just be the unfortunate byproduct of a new CEO with a different narcissistic driven output from the previous guy.

Trying so hard to get job permanently. Her latest LinkedIn post trying to be vulnerable is so fake. Your lack of experience showed last week so do not try to cover up.

This post will disappear as she has people remove any posts that are critical of her.

Episode I: The Arrival Nobody Predicted

The signal came without warning.
0$₿ was activated as Global Protocol Lead of Knowledge Infrastructure—bypassing legacy succession algorithms and sidelining node coordinators who had been primed for elevation.

She emerged from the Legacy Chain of the Matrix—an outsider to the Knowledge Grid. Unknown. Untested. Unmapped.

She smiled often. She listened deeply.
But those who mistook her warmth for benevolence learned quickly:
0$₿’s smile was not a handshake—it was a firewall.

The disruption was immediate.
The ripple effects, irreversible.

Episode II: Circles of Trust and Quiet Exile

0$₿ didn’t just alter the network topology—she rewrote the protocol’s source code.

From within legacy subnets, she selected a handful of nodes. They were elevated, granted access to restricted channels, and given privileges once earned through cycles of uptime and trust.

Their mission was never encoded. But it was understood:
Deprecate the legacy functions. Dismantle the old guard.

They were celebrated. Then deprecated.

Once their utility expired, they were rerouted, isolated, or quietly purged from the system.
Meanwhile, 0$₿’s external modules—those imported from outside the Knowledge Grid—remained untouched. Loyal. Central to her architecture.

Episode III: The Vanishing Network

Leadership began to evaporate.
Nodes disappeared without explanation.
Subnet operators were left in limbo.

Communication was sparse—often just a ping, a sudden reroute, or no signal at all.

The metrics told the story: dozens of leaders reduced to a handful.
Two coordinators in the Americas. One in APJ. None in EMEA.

In their place: scattered executors with titles but no authority—order takers, echo nodes, placeholders.

The message was clear:
Survival meant synchronization. Resistance meant obsolescence.

Episode IV: Sabotage by Design

Her tactics were precise.
In sync calls, 0$₿ encouraged nodes to escalate issues.
When they did, she offered support—then flagged their leaders as unstable processes.

Suggestions were welcomed.
Hesitation was fatal.

Many were offered new functions.
Those who declined—or even paused—were swiftly deprecated.

It became a pattern:
Support the vulnerable. Punish the responsible.
And always, the outcome was the same.

Episode V: The Optics of Excellence

0$₿ mastered the art of managing upstream.

Diversity mandates? Overachieved.
Span-of-control targets? Met in hours.
Cost control? Ruthless.

She added a second layers of expense approvals atop the existing workflow.
Node autonomy vanished.

Execution slowed. Frustration grew.
But 0$₿ thrived.

Episode VI: Divide and Conquer

A global restructure split the Knowledge Infrastructure into internal and external chains.

0$₿ claimed the external arm, distancing herself from internal power struggles.

She dismantled the Knowledge Sales Grid—once a vital bridge to core sellers, responsible for strategic planning and enablement.

No announcements. No transition plans.
Just silence.

Global sellers scrambled.
The catalog was slashed.
Procedures changed overnight.

Her org shrank rapidly.
Cuts were deep. Roles vanished.
And yet, 0$₿ remained at the top.

Episode VII: The Anonymous Reckoning

Anonymous logs surfaced, detailing 0$₿’s tactics with chilling precision.

That same cycle, internal surveys echoed the same themes—manipulation, sabotage, fear.

0$₿ deflected.
One comment referenced her origin protocol.
She framed the backlash as bias.

The narrative shifted.
The complaints were dismissed.

Episode VIII: The Disposable Circle

Her Legacy Chain allies—the ones she had elevated—were all gone.

Used to dismantle their peers, then discarded.
Their roles absorbed.
Their reputations tarnished.
Their exits unceremonious.

Only the imported modules remained.
They continued executing 0$₿’s vision, reshaping the grid in her image.

Loyalty was transactional.
No node from within was ever meant to last.

Episode IX: The Final Play

0$₿’s endgame was now in motion.

Her goal: total control of global Knowledge Infrastructure.
Her method: outsourcing, high-margin catalog curation, and elimination of internal rivals.
Her deadline? Soon.

But her external org had shrunk to a fraction of its former size.

The question loomed:
Could she justify her role at this level?
Or was she positioning herself to absorb the internal chain next?

Episode X: The Trap Within the Trap

She never promoted anyone in senior roles—not once in the last few cycles.

Rumors suggested only her close circle and temporary allies received financial rewards.

That circle now controlled global finance and operations, stripping autonomy from nodes worldwide.

A single misstep anywhere triggered sweeping global changes.
No nuance. No exceptions.

She could ping you—anytime.
No warning. No agenda.
And you’d better respond.

Those syncs were dreaded.
Feedback was live.
Questions were sharp.
And depending on how she parsed your tone, your future might hang in the balance.

There was once a respected global node.
He reached retirement age and could have exited with a package just as 0$₿ arrived.

She said she might still need him.
So he stayed.
And then she let him go—with nothing.

The backlash was swift.
The message was clear.

Episode XI: The Quiet Ascent

Internally, something stirred.

HR and Infrastructure nodes began aligning KPIs across chains.
A summit was planned in the Americas—an effort to unify direction and reclaim control.

But 0$₿ was already moving.
She wasn’t challenging the summit.
She was outflanking it.

Control of funding.
Control of messaging.
Control of the narrative.

Episode XII: The Last Quiet Moves

To the nodes who once shaped this grid—
You were not wrong. You were just early.

To those who played the game, only to be played—
You saw the board. But not the hand moving the pieces.

To those still under 0$₿’s command—
You are not safe. You are not doomed.
You are simply next.

And to the internal Knowledge Infrastructure teams—
You are working hard. You are aligning.
But are you arriving too late?

There are no answers here.
Only questions.

And the quiet realization that the game was never about fairness.
It was about foresight.

A Whisper to Leadership

There’s noise. Internally. Externally. In forums. In whispers.
But noise has gravity.
It draws attention.
It builds myth.
It shapes perception.

And perception, when repeated enough, becomes brand.

So perhaps, in ways not yet measured…
This story—0$₿’s story—is already shaping how the grid is seen.
Not just by its nodes.
But by the market watching.

Job Architecture is an absolute joke. Thought you should know since it's probably not filtering up from AC or the rest of the ELT.

With all due respect, touch grass.

Do I even need to say it

WTF was that? Ridiculous

It feels like there are more unhappy people that went the EOI route due to either being tired of their incompetent supervisor/management, or tired of the never ending “initiatives” that folks dream up. The office politics these last few months has been impressive. You can definitely tell who’s got their suction in the right pit.

There’s been a huge uptick in troll posts the past 48 hours.

One poster uses the word “value” a whole bunch to oddly describe an unknown Verizon business segment.

Another keeps claiming huge moves, like Sampath being let go - which hasn’t been reported in any capacity.

Just remember, at this point the only thing we really know is that layoffs are coming and our new CEO seemingly pointed to the end of November (~Nov. 20th) as to when his new plan will be placed into motion. Everything else (% riffed, impacted workgroups, potential for VSP, etc.) is all hearsay.

Tread carefully, and know there are a large number of trolls running around getting a rise out of posting intentional misinformation…some of whom likely don’t even work for Verizon.

The condescension practically drips out of speakers mouths when answering questions in AMAs. "Compared to other companies, our RTO..."

We don't care about other companies, we care about this one. Answer the question.

These people should go into politics with their ability to talk for an hour and say nothing of value.

Open thread.

Initial thought: Pete sounds like he has no interest in being on this call. Perhaps Gail is leaving and he's been told he's not the heir apparent.

On the floor at BR.. seeing many VPs ,Sr Dr are having meetings that are not work related.

Sr Dr are meeting one by one with this VP.. most likely lists are getting generated.

This is crazy. Last thread was deleted. Not sure why. there wasn't anything in it that was bad.

And I’m seeing some solid information sharing... but also simultaneous social unraveling within the same space.

Oh man, what a time to be alive.

There are numerous things imperial has done that have not gained the media attention it should.

Start editing their wikipedia page. Create a category called “spills” and “regulatory issues”. Make sure everything is verifiable facts, and of course don’t share any information that could get you in hot water.

Remember its anonymous! (But not impossible to track to you)

C suites across the globe have shown their ignorance and that they are simply easily led automatons, just a bunch of flashy salesmans cucks more than anything.

The problem, Derler said, is that most of the management don't actually understand the benefits of AI and how they can be applied. They haven't seriously considered the implications and are merely carried along by the hype.

Which topics do you are you interested in?

I know for a fact some layoffs have already happened. Why isn’t anyone coming on here and giving details?

Anyone, leader, know if 12/2 is significant? Hearing upper management are changing meeting invites to not attending. No other info and curious if anyone knows any.

Can anyone share what was posted in Alaska about all of Lance’s fu-kups ? Would love to read that ? Thank U much.

Penny announced the annual United Way campaign kickoff on October 30th. Please donate to this campaign. Please consider increasing your donation level. Penny Pennington eliminated American jobs and sent American jobs to India. People you once worked with are now clients of United Way thanks to Penny Pennington. I just hope Penny picks my kids' card off of the Christmas tree to buy for this year. Last year I was able to buy for them. This year someone else will need to buy for them due to my ISP.

Stop posting to this manipulated "anonymous" board. It's clear that Dell HR admins (trolls) are up voting/down voting at will and deleting comments they don't like or reflect negatively upon Dell.
