How Verizon fixed a recent backbone provider issue

No company is all bad. I'm sure there are plenty of techs at Verizon and its subsidiaries that are just trying to do the best job they possibly can and are excited and rightfully proud to diagnose and fix such a problem. Looks like they did some good detective work and deserve the bragging rights.

We see similar posts pop up once in a while with other such situations (CloudFlare springs to mind). It just happens to be Verizon in this case.

I think there are a few that are. I see very little good in a company like Philip Morris. They manufacture a delivery system for an addictive drug that, as a side effect, results in countless cancer deaths.

I couldn't possibly see myself working for a company like that.

OTOH under the right circumstances I'd work for Verizon. Their evil is venial compared to merchants of death. But a man's gotta eat, and that's why we prostitute ourselves out to these evil behemoths. And why we rationalize that we're "just trying to do the best job we possibly can".
