Hello Verizon fellows, In Deloitte, there's a facility to claim a certain reimbursement for purchasing mobile devices through their portal or something. Similarly, do VDSI employees have any discounts or reimbursement for purchasing devices through Verizon? If so, kindly let me know how to check it out. Thanks in advance.

The only reason people are staying here is because of the comfort zone, already getting paid well, unable to find a better job or waiting for the severance in the next layoff. People like me moved on immediately after realising there's no incentive to stay, after all, the company isn't doing well and there's no hope of recovering. Don't fall for your director's "we're in this together, we'll save Verizon" speech. Even Dan is in this for the money.
Yep, I made the correct decision at the right time. My current role feels like day and night difference.
These days my primary focus is on Up skilling and attending interview. I am deliberately avoiding Service based companies though they provide initial hike subsequent growth will be slow. Having hard time cracking the Product based companies interviews. My morale is severely damaged but since I am not impacted and having a job I am slowly preparing in the sideline to look for other opportunity.
Be practical and look for outside opportunities if you feel confident. Otherwise, take the severance when the time comes. The company is not paying us to worry.
I’ve already decided to take the severance in the next layoff whenever it comes. Meanwhile, I’ll use this time to prepare for interviews. It’s as simple as that. We just need to focus on what we can control instead of worrying about things we can’t.

But how can one be happy or plan for personal life (kid education, house) with all this going on for more than a year. Compensation is just one part, and those comfort zone employees don't even wake up after so many rounds of layoffs.
