Verizon has gotten several awards for having such a good platform for women's advancement up the ladder, having more than average female executives, etc.

With the US corporate environment such as exists, this means that women's face stomping of those below them is rewarded more faithfully at Verizon than at other companies, almost on par with men's reward for such like face stomping.

They (Verizon) certainly made every frothing effort to such reward when my cousin (two years now departed) was struck with ALS and worked 3 1/2 years beyond original diagnosis but eventually could not make her way out of bed without assistance 10 months short of full investiture (ten years employment at Verizon). They fought her every step of the way, to deny her everything possible, even before she had to quit. And not only to her dying day (the last of numerous "tough shit, bitch!" letters from the company 3 days before her death), but many months afterwards, tormenting her 80+ year old parents incessantly, knowing full well the situation all along.

I forget which private and government agencies all ruled against her bitch bosses, but it was fortunately a lost cause on the latters' part.

The first three Verizon Vampires in that process probably all got rewarded for their efforts. The last one, who apparently failed in the end, was likely taken into a back alley, ass-f*cked, then shot in the head.

What a good thing it is that women executives have come so far in recent years, and have contributed so much to the evolution and progressiveness and enlightenment of corporate management.
PS
She had worked for Verizon for 9+ years, but had worked for a company that Verizon bought 5+ years prior to the takeover. Ten years employment was required for full vestiture.

Corporate Responsibility

To make an impact. Be a driving force for change. Continually evolving to be not just a good company, but a strong community. This is what drives us at Verizon. More than corporate responsibility. It's personal responsibility. And it's work you can be proud to do at Verizon.

You can put your heart and talent into work that you care about. Every day. In thousands of ways. Making your world greener. Safer. Smarter. Leveraging our technology to put words into action. In 2010, Verizon employees and retirees spent more than 730,000 hours doing just that, and Verizon gave over $68 million in charitable contributions through the Verizon Foundation.

If the American people were allowed to vote on issues instead of voting for politicians that accept bribes for campaign dollars to vote a certain way, we wouldn't have an employment problem in the United States. The American people should decide whether or not we want to be members of the World Trade Organization. The American people should decide whether or not to allow companies to outsource or hire H1B visa workers. The American people should decide by vote if they want tax dollars to be spent on foreign aid, policing the world, or on the the American people (incentives for job creation, single-payer health care instead of for profit insurance companies, secondary education, etc).
