Turning Employee Passions Into Patents

Patricia Chang studied to be a concert pianist, but when she realized that it was not meant to be she went in a completely different direction: a career in engineering. What she never realized was that another dream would soon come into focus. Patricia has filed 22 patents and has another 44 pending, and she describes her current role at Verizon as "her dream job." She attributes that distinction to the company's energetic environment where she learns new things every day.

Lending a Helping Hand to Coworkers in Need

When a series of massive storms swept through America's heartland in 2013, two Verizon employees lost their homes. Because of their urgent needs, Verizon launched a new employee-giving program called Verizon-to-Verizon (V2V). This new charity allows our employees worldwide to donate to a fund that provides grants to their fellow employees who can't live in their homes due to disasters. Since V2V's launch, employees worldwide have generously donated to help 30 Verizon employees and their families around the globe recover from devastating disasters.

Transitioning From the Army to Verizon

Jake Murphy is a post-9/11 Army Veteran. He's a proud father, a loving husband and a champion of courage. While leading a patrol in Afghanistan, he lost both legs to an explosion. After his recovery, Jake accepted a job at Verizon. "Verizon didn't make me feel like a name on a piece of paper," Murphy said. "It was very important that I took a role that I had interest in and was comfortable in." Murphy's been with Verizon for a more than a year as a lead supply chain consultant, given his experience managing inventory and manpower in the Army. He's also pursuing his MBA at the University of North Carolina.
