What's the reason for the perpetual contact icon in the status/notifications bar?

Why would I need my own info so readily-available? Is on the upper-right in the below screenshot

Perhaps I'm missing something...

Thanks!

Usually, your icon would Activate a user menu to select from multiple users. However, Verizon, in all its wisdom, remove that from lollipop.
