Questions and Answers about Verizon Working Culture

Horrible makes you sick

I left verizon because after 31 years of professional service because they put a collar around my neck. Electronic monitoring and metadata are their management tools. Both methods view you through a veil of assumptions. They assume I was a cheat, a liar, and lazy. The appraisal system has unattainable goals and they use archaic language in our contract to hold you down. After 31 years of success and a leader in quality and productivity I was deemed unsatisfactory and told I could not change job descriptions or locations until I was "satisfactory". My immediate manager was discouraged to give passing appraisals so that upper management could squeeze me do to more for them in hope of pleasing them. He left for another career and I left to regain my self respect. They have hired lawyers and psychological operation advisers to crush our spirits. Abusive, demeaning, micromanaging methods. Hey verizon, try a carrot and put away your stick. Your landline employees absolutely hate your guts and are cowed into submission. You encourage infighting and back stabbing and we participated because it is all you left us to use to 'suceed'. If you are a close eyed, small minded robotron you will find a home in verizon.

Constant changes from upper management.

Normal everyday

The work environment was fun. The culture was laid back but professional. They tried to make sure each day was event in one way or another.
