Verizon Corporate Waste

Shame on you Verizon... You get inducted into the EPA's WasteWise Hall of Fame for your waste prevention and recycling. You claim you manage your waste disposal by finding constructive uses for no longer used materials with regular audits. Yet you casually throw out a million dollars worth of brand new, unused equipment? Corporate waste at it's finest!

NOT UNION NONSENSE!!!!! this is happening at all verizon locations. materials. tables, chairs, file cabnets, tools, the list can go on. it does not matter if you are a union member or a manager. this is a total waste of money! so i can understand why the employees would be upset come contract time. and the forman should be upset also! BY THE WAY,  WHEN CAN I GET FIOS???? is verizon no longer installing? my neighbors and i would love it. we here great things about the product.

@ITALIAN926 Can it honestly be called a sale if we retained 51% of Frontier's stock?

my mistake then.. cause they did the same in my location, but everything that was palleted we had to label for pickup and return.. everyting else that was thrown away just went rite into the dumpsters.. i think we went through about 3 40 yard dumpsters.. we had 25 guys in my office and they left us with 4 chairs..

@zeewaker I'm a lineman in Jersey. This has been happening in every garage in the state since the beginning of the year. It is all unused equipment, thrown in a dumpster and driven to the dump. I don't know where you are from, but in Jersey we call the first level managers Foremen. The Foremen had us fill these dumpsters on orders from the VP of FiOS. Get your facts straight. Oh wait, you're an engineer, nevermind.

@kctyphoon No, it's palletted & shrink wrapped because that is how it was received at the garage. I spoke with the drivers, they took it to the dump.

@If you read what I wrote, you would see that I am speaking about communication company unions. If I wrote "the union", nobody would know which one because there are 2 for communication companies, so I just wrote "unions". The other occupations are completely different. However, comparing The Union of States to a labor union. That's just asinine. Anyway, the idea of organized labor didn't even occur until late 1800's.

As for your "founding fathers" comment; Really? That's a really asinine statement. Comparing The Union of States to a labor union. Ridiculous.

@1nystateofmind I don't have a 40 hour work weak. I am salary and with my job, I may need to put in more hours and I won't see a difference in my paycheck. I may need to work on the weekend. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I may need to come in at midnight because a process that we are doing will have less impact on others doing it out of hours. So I'm not garaunteed those things in the first place. However, I make more than when I was under a union contract and I get raises on my own merit.

to be fair some of the stuff in this video is being shipped back to a warehouse- that is why its on pallets and shrink wrapped.. the stuff that was tossed all went into a dumpster. im agree with what your saying is this video, and they did throw out a huge amout of stuff - i mean a HUGE amount. but not all of that was tossed

[1nystateofmind]

@zeewaker Also...Would you like to give up weekends and a forty hour work week? Because if you enjoy those, you owe a bit of respect to unions for gaining those standards many years ago.

@zeewaker In your opinion then, are your children are taught by unprofessional, weak minded teachers just because they belong to a union? Are you protected by an unprofessional, weak minded police force? Were the founders of the United States unprofessional and weak minded when they realized the states could better themselves by uniting and forming a union? You have an "interesting" point of view.
