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.
I am sorry to read this story, and it is sad.
But, there are millions of stories like this, and millions more happening every day.
Corporations often are altruistic and so benevolent, they have our best interests at heart, right?
Nothing corporations will stoop to surprises me, but we don't need unions.

Marini, I'm all in to the micro and macro econ stuff, because I am forced to. It does make sense, to an extent, even the globalization stuff. Because there are always new hires here even as we send other hires to India. I know the exchange never works out perfectly, but please keep in mind that the US is the second or third largest exporter (depending upon year), and Brazil is an increasing USA importer.
We just go to work, go to classes, then our closest cousin dies, prematurely.
What a tremendous hit that was. Now she is just another stat. She was so wonderful, and so insistent that "it is what it is" that I can feel her spirit saying "oh please, do you guys have somewhere to be tomorrow, or what?"
No one like her.
