...money.

I work for Verizon and that's all the company is concerned with.

They don't care about their customers (although they say they do). They sold Maine, NH, and Vermont to Fairpoint because they're not "big" money makers, as compared to Mass (or more specifically major cities in Mass-Boston, Cambridge, Springfield).

This was a huge issue for employees who thought they were going to be employed by Verizon for the duration of their careers and now they work for a company that isn't union who can one day suddenly decide they don't need them any more.

Welcome to the world of big corporations.

I'm going back to school (which luckily Verizon pays for), so I can get the hell out of dodge the day I get my degree (hopefully sooner if another job oppurtunity comes up) and never have to work for Verizon again.
